Shame about the bag Dry, it looked so,good on the website. I've seen a few really nice animal print clutches recently but can't remember where however, Dune definitely had a couple -this clutch is nice and looks better irl.

Linus Essie polish lasts for ages - with a base and top coat I've worn it for about a week which is nearly forever for me. I have been known to smudge/chip nail polish before I've left the salon.

Marsha, sounds depressing - but I think those programmes are scripted to a certain extent so don't represent real life. (Might be wrong though which really would be awful).

Drywhiteplease · 12/11/2014 21:28

Marsha don't you remember when I was addicted to The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills? Love that crap.

Shucks Linus and Marsha

I'm rather miffed.......it's a very long story, but I am now free on MU night, but have to stay in to look after DD. Sad DH aka the Caveman, not at all hipster with his beard said "I think I owe you" YES YOU DO "they're DRESSING UP!" ......I will be at the next MU whatever!!!!!

So, am planning a virtual MU with fizz chez moi......I'll be keeping the board alive, maybe some lurkers can join me ESP ST journo Wink

Drywhiteplease · 12/11/2014 21:31

Fedup like that clutch. May order. Thanks

LinusDKD · 12/11/2014 21:33

THANKYOU should get you 20% off theweek

MarshaBrady · 12/11/2014 21:33

That makes me feel a bit better Dry. I'm not helping by watching it Grin

Now MU night> yes he does! And we can check in from the loo to post with you. I will anyway.

Fedup nice clutch.

Theweek I don't, but someone might be along who does.

Drywhiteplease · 12/11/2014 21:36

Marsha I need pics! loo posts will be great!

MarshaBrady · 12/11/2014 21:41

Here's hoping the mirrors are decent for a good pic!

shopafrolic · 12/11/2014 21:45

LOL at pretty link Marsha why aren't you watching the 2nd series of the Liberty documentary on C4?

MarshaBrady · 12/11/2014 21:48

Shop oh yes I'll switch to that, to cleanse after this.

Drywhiteplease · 12/11/2014 21:49

Damn Shop I forgot that, will download, I love the knitting ladies.

Fedupnagging · 12/11/2014 21:59

Hope you come back and show us what you have ordered Theweek .

That is a pretty dress Marsha. I'd like the decimal point moved a couple of places to the left then could consider Grin

Is the Liberty documentary a repeat? I watched one last year/earlier this year which was really interesting.

Yes, lots of loo pics please from the MU.

shopafrolic · 12/11/2014 22:00

Not a repeat. New series. C4+1 now people,

Theweek · 12/11/2014 22:02

Thank you sooooo much!
It's a rather dull order unfortunately, Tippi jumpers, a couple of cashmere jumpers and some painter Ts.
I shall see what else jumps into the basket ??
Thanks again Linus.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 12/11/2014 22:11

Welcome back Lib, hope you had a lovely time!

Linus thank you Flowers

My sister is buying me the topshop earrings tomorrow. Think the others were too heavy, I don't want to stretch my ears Grin

Woooooo can't wait for the MU. We are dressing up aren't we? as Dry says? You'll be missed loads Dry and everyone else who can't make it :(

Fedupnagging · 12/11/2014 22:12

Thanks then for the heads up on the documentary Shop. Will def watch on catchup.

No boring at all Theweek, so many lovely colours to choose from.

Mominatrix · 12/11/2014 22:21

Marsha, yes I did buy the boots. not sure if they are the Kate Middleton ones, but Olivia Palermo seems to own them in every colour. I wated them after pondering the whole what to do about short skirts in the winter problem (yes, first world issues!), then a saw a photo of Padma Lakshmi wearing these boots with a mini in a winter white, and it was lust at first sight.

dry - how bizarre that the clutch was sent with a white zip...it looked black in the link! Very sad you won't make it. I have wheaseled my way out of attending Lord of the Flies and can most likely come. Next time, definitely. In terms of starter - what about grilling the prawns butterflied, then brushing with an Asian Pesto to serve (whizz up coriander, ginger, lemongrass, lime zest, basil, garlic, red chilli, lime juice, olive oil)?

shop - I need to check out the Liberty documentary. Thank you for the info.

Drywhiteplease · 12/11/2014 22:28

"Asian pesto"? Sounds like green Thai curry paste Mom...love it!

Drywhiteplease · 13/11/2014 07:57

The problem with floor to ceiling mirrors is they make you look like a stunted short arse Grin

I'm feeling the love for two ladies;
I want Lisa to live with me and do my make up every day
And this lady to style me apart from the hardens and leopard coat I'd wear it all
Now I need a hair dresser Hmm

LinusDKD · 13/11/2014 09:17

What are hardens dry?

It is my dream to be made up by Lisa Eldridge! She can do no wrong in my eyes and I bet she can make me look like 'Me but Better'.

MarshaBrady · 13/11/2014 09:27

Mom they are lovely. That whole outfit is so nice.

I haven't looked at Lisa E much, perhaps I should!

Stokey · 13/11/2014 09:52

Mom those boots are amazing, I love the whole outift.

Dry maybe we need to invent a new tea's maid - make it in silver or cream ceramic and call it the iTea smart maid . I'm sure there's a fortune waiting to happen.

Lisa Eldrige is fab, I love her tutorials.

I found a parka I liked yesterday in John Lewis but didn't buy and now can't find it in a 10, annoying.

Mominatrix · 13/11/2014 11:41

Dry -Grin re Thai curry paste. It could be like it, but because the emphasis is on the herby stuff and not the ginger/lemongrass - the consistency is like pesto. I use it quite a bit, and have done grilled giant prawns with it. You've got me thinking about adding coconut milk instead of olive oil, and then topping with toasted lives of coconut. Think that would be nice.

Bugger the weather - I was going to wear the OTK suede boots today, but as it is very mucky out (just got back from a dog walk with both of us covered in mud), looks like I'll have to postpone using them.Wearing pale mink crepe mini with side slits, camel roll neck, and ancient (10 years old) brown miu miu boots (think they are a to-the-knee land boot style).

Mominatrix · 13/11/2014 11:41

not mink - that would be strange. PINK

Mominatrix · 13/11/2014 11:42

god, I give up on the typing. Slivers of coconut, not lives of coconut. I need a personal editor!!!!!!

Mominatrix · 13/11/2014 11:43

Stokey frustrating regarding the Parka. Does Miss Selfridge have a website you can order from?
