MN Vogue - vol. 47

[maradesbois]

While the autumn leaves are still falling, winter is definitely in the air for some of us! Come and join us for some friendly fashion chat.

Following on from here.

Ha! Just got back from the ironers / dry cleaners. He saw me yesterday in my bright pink lipstick and said how fab I looked. Today I didn't bother with lipstick and he said "why haven't you made the effort to look beautiful today"
2 mums on the school run also said how fab it was so perhaps I just need to be brave........
Hope today goes well Novice and you have a chilled weekend.
Where are we going for MU? Who's in charge? not me this time please

Morning all.

So glad I have three days off now. I'm exhausted between the usual stuff and the pain from my ear and wrist. Do have lots of reading to do but at least I can do that on my own schedule.

Hope today goes smoothly novice and you can find some time to rest this weekend

YY, we need MU details!I have my travel for that weekend booked now so am definitely coming as I was a bit unsure before

Hope no one minds if I don't volunteer for MU planning... as well as the wedding, I am helping my sister plan a 30th birthday party the weekend before the MU

novice the dress was £85, it's from SS2013 so it was indeed lucky!

Lovely compliments shop, if the dry cleaner man notices, you know you're doing something right.

Finally heard back from my HoC consultant so hopefully I'll be doing the style day soon!

I would volunteer for planning i like organizing things and planning but I'm sure you all understand that I don't know London well enough. One day though, one day I shall be the planner!

Sure I'll have a think about venue for MU.

Mara the place we go to all the time is great but has a numbers issue, will pm you.

Those look good Shop , will have a look at my local. Do they keep their shape?

Pretty well - I had to size down.

DD is going shopping tomorrow with friends. The big branch stock them. Have put a pair aside for me. If I actually get a pair it will be miraculous.Normally take a 26 in Gap jeans. Have ordered an 8 just can't believe I'd ever take a 6
Am I mad to:

1. Give a 14yr old £40 cash?

2.expect her to remember to pick up and pay for trousers and keep the receipt ? Will report back

Good test for her dry! Quiet on here today.

I am happy to suggest a few bars (I know my stuff in that regard). Crap at organisation mind.

Second of three consecutive nights out tonight. Feeling a bit, ahem, jaded after last night. Wore Equipment rainbow leopard shirt, Zara coated skinnies, black NL Aquazzuralikes, short black faux fur jacket (from Gap of all places, paid £20 for it about 8y ago, it is the best I've ever had) and silver baby Rocco. No idea what to wear tonight. Might take the Rockstuds out for a spin...

Mara love that Marant blouse, it's so unusual.

Novice, love hearing you describe your outfits. Hopefully you are on the mend now.

One, glad you have a few days off so hope you feel better so.

Blair, bargain! Love the dress.

Had a few late nights this week so staying in tonight and painting my nails! Just need to decide between No7 stonewash or mavala Minsk. living the high life

Just walked out of the house in a silver metallic pleather mini skirt and DH did not pass judgement, just told me I looked sexy. I would have expected some sort of Barbarella reference...

i plug you in, dim the lights......Electric barbarelllllllllla.........

amber I love hearing about your outfits too! great to be living a little vicariously through you.

fedup I'm in as well tonight as always no point painting my nails as they'll just peel off at work tmr :/

I'm painting my nails too fedup. Bought a no7 today and have never used before. It seems quite thin so I'm about to do a third coat. Too. Much. Effort.

I've decided to sell my navy boots as they are just not working for me. They're not as chunky as most chelsea boots but they're still too classic/masculine for me. Gutted to have made such an expensive mistake but hey ho, it's the first mistake I've made in ages.

That's a shame about your boots Queen but no point keeping them if they are not right.

I have just had to put on 3 coats of the boots nail varnish too but the colour does look good.

Karbea, I need nice nails for tomorrow evening so have told everyone I am not doing a stroke of work during the day!

Amber cool outfit. Have fun.

evening,

mara I love your marant blouse,

dry I think she will do as she is told,

We are having a stay in night too, we are about to start house of cards season 2 ,yay! Have been looking forward to it all week , I just hope they don't kill off the sexy president, he has the sexiest clipped American accent,

Hope you all enjoy your evening.

QueenC autumn wardrobe when you are actually a winter is an expensive mistake

True shop .

Drinking alone with a bottle wine is dangerous....

Wowsers. Coast are doing leather

And sequin trousers

I think i would wear those sequin trousers if i were slimmer..... i usually hate sparkles but they just appeal to me but i don't have the bum for them

Am I just old or are these trousers a ridiculous length.

Oops sorry one . I was just shocked to see Coast out of its comfort zone.

ha, no need to be sorry QueenC I think it is well known by now that my dress sense is pretty left field! I think Amber and I have every angle of quirky covered between us

queen far too long! they'd look scruffy after the first outing.
