Oh yes a venue. Let the thinking begin. I'd love somewhere that's not a restaurant meal, but food is available. A bar where we can sit and eat if we want.

What does everyone prefer?

libertychick · 05/10/2014 14:10

I like the sound of a bar with food marsha pm BTW Smile

Who knew that there were so many gorgeous gowns out there? I have spent literally hours this week looking at them and I'm still not entirely happy with what I've chosen. And I haven't managed to do everyone so apologies now if you're at all disappointed. It has been so much fun though.

So, for me, it would definitely have to be an elie saab...

QueenCardigan · 05/10/2014 16:06

my elie saab. I couldn't find any shoes I liked. I wanted round toed silver mid block heel.

Gah. I'm having real problems cutting and pasting bloody ios8. Will try to resolve it but also need to engage with dc and charge iPad. Will be back later.

OneLittleLady · 05/10/2014 17:07

I flexed by student discount at Miss Selfridge today and bought.....a playsuit! Yes, I finally took the plunge after eyeing them up for ages. It's black with a floral pattern and a crochet back part across the shoulders. Hopefully it will look okay but I'm a bit worried about my mum tum showing through. will report back with findings

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/10/2014 17:09

Aww just logged on for the first time in a couple of days and remembered QueenC's red carpet links but still waiting patiently! :)

So, my mum stayed for the weekend and yesterday we met both my sisters in town and went dress shopping. I tried on 6 at Pronovias and 5 at a little independent shop in Marylebone. I think I felt a bit overwhelmed after that! Anyway I loved Pronovias, had the loveliest lady helping me who was actually the fitter rather than a salesperson, so thank you Mara for the recommendation. Flowers
My favourite dress was from there. I tried to try lots of different things, some of my instincts were right (I need a slinky column shape rather than wide skirt or anything too fishtail) and some were wrong (lace is not as good on me as I thought and I actually looked best in ones with lots of sparkly embellishment). So lots to think about, I am going to go to a couple of local shops next weekend and try to decide after.

Today we went to the venue for an open day and my mum loved it, so that's good! I have had a cold for 3 days though and feel absolutely terrible. But it's been a lovely weekend.

Texan thanks for delurking, your wedding outfits sound divine.

Amber I saw that red dress and loved it too! Only one left in an S though and I'm not buying a party dress just yet. You'll have to show it on the blog.

I've missed lots, sorry, but hello to everyone, and a bar with food suits me fine for the MU, I love places that do small plates or dishes to share.

OneLittleLady · 05/10/2014 17:42

to report back on the playsuit, it looks really good! so much better than i thought it would and it doesn't emphasize my tummy at all, it skims over it in fact. It's got a very deep v neck though so need to find a suitable cami to wear underneath it for modesty's sake, no one needs to see the scaffolding that is my bra!

LinusDKD · 05/10/2014 19:00

one you have a lovely décolleté with flawless skin (sorry if this sounds a bit OTT, but it's true) so you might as well show it off.

I was tempted by playsuits this summer as well but never had the courage to buy one.

blair sounds like you had a lovely day.

I am in a tee, leggings Shock and hoody sipping a glass of Wine after a busy weekend. And there's a fire burning so I feel all nice and cozy.

ahh, thank you linus that's very kind of you to say. I was definitely surprised at how good it looks on, I've been looking at them longingly for ages but always thought they'd make me look like a bag of potatoes! Feel like I'm able to take more risks shape wise of late, think it's a combination of a bit of weight loss and a gain in self confidence (sleep you have to come and take a lot of the credit for both!)

LinusDKD · 05/10/2014 19:36

Just started watching last night's SCD.

LOVE that teal dress Darcey B is wearing. Wonder who made it.

Really like the magenta Claudia (mwah) is wearing but the style swamps her.

Do like Tess's white dress as well, just don't like her (Meeee-ouw)

LinusDKD · 05/10/2014 20:10

I predict Pixie, Caroline , Saturday and E Ender in final. EE was incredible!

QueenCardigan · 05/10/2014 20:24

Fuck fuck fuck. I've just lost a massive post!!!

LinusDKD · 05/10/2014 20:27

I agree dry.

Judy Murray looks gorgeous btw. I love her haircut and the silvery colour, it just suits her so well. And the has such a sweet and lovely smile.

Nooooooooooo!!! Make a pin board QueenC. Might be easier?

LinusDKD · 05/10/2014 20:28

What a massive pita Queen, soooo frustrating. Agree with Lib, do a pin board.

Just watched sdc2 and yet again Darcey looked fabulous in a short black dress. She even sits elegantly!
