Mumsnet Vogue - volume 45

[shopafrolic]

Here we go again. More fashion and beauty chat as we head into Autumn. The perfect boot hunt is on! All welcome, whatever your budget - we don't bite.
Continuing on from here

for novice. I don't think you own anything in this colour?

weird

more cute shoes

bin bag skirt anyone?

Ahhhh QueenC that bin bag skirt reminds me of the ASOS leather skirt disaster. Love your Sunday morning links.
Right, next on leather skirt hit list:
mango
Reiss
Hobbs
Zara, looks a bit long
This time, however, I'm going retro and am going to actual SHOPS to try on rather than online because I just can't keep up with all of the returns.
Would love the Zara one to work as now fancy saving up for a chaise longue for my bedroom, as you do, so I can swoon and recline in dramatic fashion when I'm exhausted at choosing which pair of shoes to wear

Fingers crossed dry. Chaise lounges are great. I want one too now!

Thanks for all those weird and wonderful links Queen

Hair looked fine last night. Not so the facial bruising that decided to come out several days after some rather painful dental treatment . Anyway, we had a lovely meal, lots of wine and laughed loads.

Our hotel is next to Harvey Nics so when dh finally stops snoring wakes up, that is where I intend to go.

I need silver or pewter shoes to go with a full length cocktail dress and can't find any that I like. Quite like these but too high.

Like the look but again too high and too ££ for shoes I probably won't wear very often.

Better heel height and good colour but not keen. I have looked for hours. Maybe I am being too fussy....

I thought you had already tried the Hobbs skirt Dry? Good luck with the next haul.

Wandering round the Zara site, I found some more gorgeous shoes but
Too high although love the style and would probably wear this style with trousers.

These would go, weirdly. Too high though.

Perfect colour but too high.

Think I need to lower, quite literally, my expectations! A 3" heel is the maximum height I can walk, dance get pissed in without falling over.

QueenC that absolutely looks like a bin bag! it's vile!

Dry chaise longue sounds good, Dp's mum has one in the room most used and it is always cleared for me to lounge prettily on when we go round

That bin bag skirt and those broken shoes! I just need a top now.

Fedup those shoes are pretty. I go for 8cm these days rather than 10cm and always check too.

I was out last night living it up and saw some really good style. Really good, not ott but individual and good. Just so, iykwim.

You can't leave it there Marsha I need details - what did you wear? What did they wear?

Details marsha don't leave us hanging!!

No style from me today, I'm in my star wars pjs and my hairs in a top knot. Just sorting out what I need to take with me tomorrow for enrollment, I'm so so nervous!

Hard to capture. Laid back luxe - a red dress but not overly fitted, print, mixed up, good hair. Shop I wore skinnies, P Lim jumper and grey suede Rossis. But I really would love a dress. Something easy to wear but looks good.

One you'll be fine! Don't forget to have fun.

I've ordered the grey shearling-lined pistols eep.

I could happily buy just navy and grey stuff for a while. I'd like

• grey skinnies
• navy jumper
• navy scarf
• grey jumper

And maybe some tartan.

Ooh Marsha re pistols...on my wish list. Along with a woolrich coat this winter....

One we will be thinking if you tomorrow, so exciting! I promise everyone else will be nervous too, you'll be fine ( and look great)

Evening!

one good luck tomorrow! And yes, try to enjoy it!

queenc love those sparkly flats you linked but I prefer a more rounded toe. The dark colour is so versatile though.

marsha well done on the Pistols! I can't wait to wear my Colts again. I feel like I can kick some serious ass in them.

dry how did your real life shopping go today? And the mixed camping?

I also remember sneaking out to meet boys when I went to summer camp but I was such a naive teen I really didn't get up to any naughty stuff.

Ha Linus me too, they are the best boot for that

Sleep which woolrich coat? Sounds nice.

I have now ordered a navy acne jumper and navy acne scarf - as there's some 25% off codes on email for my-wardrobe if anyone is interested? Feel a bit lightheaded now, will link later!

So just the grey stuff, tartan, skirt, dress er and peacoat. Darn list is meant to be getting shorter.

can anyone advise please on a glam evening cover up? I am thinking faux fur possibly, in white or silver, over the shoulders but not too bulky?

Here that was a sneaky arrival ....welcome to MNV.....will have a ponder. Who are you? What do you like? Etc etc....

Meanwhile;

Linus RL shopping planned for next Saturday grrrr at working
Mixed sleepover....NEVER again! They never went to bed.....so why did I decide to go to Ikea eek on a Sunday horror with DH am I mad ? Obviously it ended in a big argument as big as the Cosco argument 6 years ago. DH does NOT do shopping. Luckily we're over it now
Marsha nothing better than people watching on a night out....

I think I've decided on tomorrows outfit: Black ankle zip skinnies, black low heels faux suede ankle boots, green and black tartan jacket, McQueen scarf. Just don't know what top!

Here
white knitted, not glam really
fluffy
Will try harder later

One your outfit is perfect.

Hi Here will have a look.

This is the acne jumper. But might go straight back if sleeves are odd like the pic

and acne scarf.

That's four navy or blue jumpers recently. I can definitely say I have got enough.

marsha do you think a raspberry pink shell top will be too much or should I stick with something in black or grey? If all else fails, it'll be my batman tee
