oh yes! duh forgot about that, I haven't worn it much tbh. need to crack it out now cold weather finally coming, we were all in tshirts again yesterday, mental for halloween.

Topazandpearl · 01/11/2014 12:02

That was a great bargain on the HL leggings lib, but only if you really love them, so you are right not to keep them.

I hope the IL visit is going well shop and you get your night out and hope the leggings work for you.

Enjoy your night out one. I am sure you will look fabulous.

You are very disciplined linus, I like all of your links.

I really like your BR purchases fedup. Let me know how sheer the silk tunic is. I have two cream silk shirts but both are too sheer to wear on their own.

Foxy do keep popping in!

Glad to hear you are having a rest novice. Hope the upgrade made up for the rubbish treatment on the way out.

Glad to hear the visit went so well in the end marsha. Family visits can be fraught so it is good to have happy memories of them when they go well.

Hope you have recovered sleep. The party sounded fun.

The description of your MNV witch outfit sounds great mom. I love that coat and considered it myself (but decided it would add too much bulk to me). They could be around for a while or just be a one-season purchase. Just in case, you could wear it to death this year so you'll have got the CPW down and then it won't matter so much.

I remember that leopard coat Amber, you and foxy could get lots of wear out of them this winter (if it ever gets cold).

There is an article in the Times magazine today on what fashion eds really wear.
These include: leather joggers, slim boyfriends, white Stan Smiths, navy crew necks, nude short nails and shaggy coats (not all together!) I scored quite well, dressed in my slim boyfriends (not really - just 7fam skinnies which are a size too big and rolled at the ankle), navy boat neck (another TKMaxx bargain) and nude, short nails but I am breaking the rules by wearing more than one piece of jewellery!

Hello!

How many elsa's did you all see last night? I lost count, practically every girl was dressed like elsa, including my Dd, who then wanted to change cause everyone is dressed like her Hmm,

Didn't want to dress up, but the dcs,said I must do somthing, so I decided to be a Cat, wore black jumper, and black skinnies with a cat ears headband just like the asos one, but I got them for like €2 from a party supplier shop here yesterday morning, dh really , really liked it Wink highly recommend them, you know for stuff .

amber I just saw picture of your hair, its gorgeous, and really suits you,

mom the coat is really nice, try it,

shop how is it going so far?

maradesbois · 01/11/2014 14:14

Afternoon,

Just popping in to say have pm'd all MU definitelys and maybes with details. Let me know if you haven't received. Xx

Haha santa, good to know about cat's ears Halloween Wink

I didn't see any Elsas , but we weren't out and got no trick or treaters. I think the neighbouring families with young DC are all away for half term. I have had to hide the sweets so I don't eat them (am quite partial to a drumstick lollipop!)

shopafrolic · 01/11/2014 17:53

Mara thanks so much for organising MU - I'm v excited. Now trying to find a hotel for the night...... x

shopafrolic · 01/11/2014 18:12

Santa I am drinking through it. DH went shooting today leaving me with the ILs Hmm.
I ducked out for an hour or so this morning leaving them with DS and then we've been out this afternoon. Now on the prosecco!
Wore my new Paige black skinnies this afternoon with Pistols and my Uniqlo denim shirt (becoming uniform). I love how fab Paige jeans are - so much better than the TS ones (like an instant bum lift!).
Restaurant booked for lunch tomorrow as a replacement for missing date night - but ILs and DS will join us.
Hope everyone has fun tonight - any firework displays?

OneLittleLady · 01/11/2014 18:34

Ran out quickly this afternoon and bought a black faux fur jacket in new look. very snuggly. Just getting ready to go out wearing burgundy tights, black multi layered tulle skirt, black leather ankle boots, black vest top and cropped black cardigan. will throw new jacket over the top. lashings of black mascara, black cats eye eyeliner and lovely red estee lauder lipstick.

LinusDKD · 01/11/2014 18:46

Oh have fun one!

Oi shop no slagging off my TS Leighs! Or I won't send you the black Paige Verdugo's! Wink

I might actually add the Goldsign Virtuals to the parcel as I never really got on with them, despite sizing down.

Am sooo knackered. We spent all day ferrying around the kids to sport's activities, playdates and birthday parties. Seriously, my DC's have a better social life than me.

maradesbois · 01/11/2014 19:06

One have fun tonight. Outfit and makeup sound fab.

Lib Great finds. I saw the very same Italian cashmere coatigan in the Kensington tk maxx last weekend. Really liked it but wasn't sure of the quality. On the other hand there was also a margiela 100% cashmere coat in my size for £400 down from over 2k. Dh was pushing me to get it but was just wrong at shoulders, too wide but the quality was incredible.

Shop good luck and Wine. Lunch out tomorrow will be v nice am sure but not exactly date night. Maybe ILs could bbsit one night during the week and you and dh escape for a bit?

Have decided to keep burgundy colts but think marant silk top is going back. Love the colours but its a bit fussy and just doesn't work on me. Think a better investment would be an equipment shirt à la Linus.

Bloody h Mara if they stay into next week I may not survive - they leave tomorrow PM Grin Glad the Colts are keepers. I am so pleased I bit the bullet on the Pistols - they are getting so much wear.

Drywhiteplease · 01/11/2014 20:01

I'm home after a fab break.
Shop lunch sounds good. I feel for you.......strength my friend. Smile

maradesbois · 01/11/2014 20:09

topaz I read that article too. I was coming on here to tell all the people wanting leather leggings to get leather joggers. I also can't work out what slim boyfriends are? Presumably just sort of skinny/straight legs rolled up?

I had an hour to myself to wander round the shops alone before meeting my parents for lunch. Disappointingly it was hideous- so busy. I did buy a bra though and another pair of jeans as gap had 30% off. I need a thin scoop neck navy tee for layering. None in next, top shop, river island or h&m. The ones in zara were too thin and looked like they'd fall apart in one wash. I will try m&s at some point and look online although maybe I should just order the uniqlo heatech unless anyone else has any ideas?

shop have fun tomorrow. We've got lots of friends coming round so will be a boozy afternoon.

santamarianovella · 01/11/2014 21:02

They should stop trying to make leather joggers happen,they tried so hard to make it a hit last year, dont know if kanye,has a deal with all labels that produces them for percentage of sales ,since he claims to invent them , its so unflattering, the only person who looked good in them is alessandra , that's it, none else managed to pull it off, not even caroline blomst.

Big welcome back to queen and dry,

Sleepwhenidie · 01/11/2014 22:29

I didn't have a hangover this morning Shock. Martinis are clearly the way forward Wink

LinusDKD · 02/11/2014 08:08

for mara

bettykt · 02/11/2014 08:21

Morning, am still in bed and psyching myself up to go to the gym. Need to kick start my fitness regime again. Need to be a bit trimmer as some of my clothes are feeling tighter Sad
