Don't mention the C word (only one pressies bought so far)
Help me ladies. All my going out tops are way too big now and I'm struggling with what to wear tonight. I really don't want to wear a dress - too cold and I haven't time to sort my legs out. Wondering about HL leather trousers, LKB shoe boots (AGAIN), Uniqlo denim shirt with this necklace and probably my Gina clutch in an effort to add a bit of sparkle. Can I make that work?

LinusDKD · 14/11/2014 16:47

shop I like the idea of leather with denim. How about some leopard print accessories?

Now I also want to know what santa smells like.... Blush

santamarianovella · 14/11/2014 16:57

Yay! shop,glad you like it,
I spritzed a bit of Chanel beige on the sweater Blush,

shopafrolic · 14/11/2014 17:06

It's delicious Santa (the scent). Thank you so much.
Definitely having a crisis of confidence style wise for nights out. I'm fine in a restaurant but cocktail bars and I have literally nothing other than dresses. I also need to stop spending now till after Christmas so no new going out top links for a while.
Linus I haven't got any leopard print other than leopard print flats - I wish we had a communal wardrobe somewhere - like the iCloud, the MNVCloud - a virtual wardrobe where we could reach in and borrow each others things (and they'd fit regardless of size......)

LinusDKD · 14/11/2014 17:19

Oh wow, DH just made me a cocktail with tangerine juice. His own concoction so I don't really know what's in it but it is delicious.

I once tried Chanel Gardenia in their shops and loved it but I've never tried Beige. I will have to give it a try.

OneLittleLady · 14/11/2014 17:24

Shop that virtual wardrobe idea would only work from my side if people liked character tees and animal onesies Grin

Been to my appointment, have to go for an ultrasound on my wrist. I even got to look at my x-rays which was pretty cool, I could see where I've had breaks in my wrist, it showed 3 distinct breaks, all of which have happened at different times but I only know of two of those times so at some point I've been walking around with a broken wrist and didn't even know it!!

Fedupnagging · 14/11/2014 17:29

Oooo, that sounds rather delish Linus.

Shop I second the wardrobe cloud Grin. Have a lovely evening - your outfit sounds great especially with the bag.

Blair hope you get home ok and have a lovely evening.

shopafrolic · 14/11/2014 17:33

Linus can you DH start doing a cocktail recipe a week for us (or a month). I like the idea of a MNV cocktail that we all sit and try whilst watching Strictly. He'd have to give us the ingredients list in advance as my drinks cabinet just has lots of Gin and Vodka Grin

OneLittleLady · 14/11/2014 17:36

Shop my favourite drink used to be sweet vermouth/martini and chambord mixed in a martini glass. it was deceptive, very sweet but it was easy to drink a few too many. Would mix with lemonade for those who wanted a longer drink

Littlemoocow · 14/11/2014 17:49

Hi all, first time post on this thread. Just opened it for the first time and apologies, but I'm going to reference something from page 1! Only a few days ago though. amber you said you were wearing a great fur coat from warehouse. Is it this seasons? I've just received this seasons grey fur coat ordered earlier in the week, and whilst I love it, I'm wondering if it's a bit (too) shiny. If you have the same one, what do you think? Thanks

Littlemoocow · 14/11/2014 17:50

"Grey" not great btw

shopafrolic · 14/11/2014 18:09

Didn't want to leave you hanging littlemoocow - welcome.
This is Amber's coat from the looks of Pin. I'm sure she'll be along shortly :)

MarshaBrady · 14/11/2014 18:26

Dry I'm not sure! I'll let you know when they turn up. Hoping they are flat, deep dark indigo though with a decent rise. A friend had really, really dark indigo on the other day, should have asked where they were from.

Littlemoocow · 14/11/2014 18:30

That's the one shop thanks

bettykt · 14/11/2014 18:55

Evening, Shop'I could so do with that MNV communal wardrobe, I'm still badly in need of a going out top but can't find anything for love nor money enjoy your night out, you'll look great I'm sure.

Littlemoocow lovely coat, you may not hear from Amber tonight as she's the resident MNV party animal Grin I'm just jealous Envy

Loving the links, I need to start doing more on here Blush hope everyone is having a lovely start to the weekend. I've started on the wine, NZ SBlanc, dh cooking dinner and looking forward to Gogglebox, rock n roll Grin

MarshaBrady · 14/11/2014 18:57

Ha Betty enjoy

Shop have a great night.

We're out tomorrow night, can't wait! Going to wear something different, well mildly different. Need to mix it up a bit. I wear a jumper and skinnies every day.

LinusDKD · 14/11/2014 18:58

Gin and vodka are my favourite spirits shop! I'll tell DH MNVoguettes are interested in his cocktails.

Shame we only had one tangerine Wink

Welcome littlemoocow!

I am in my pj's again on a Friday night. Yawn!

MarshaBrady · 14/11/2014 18:58

Sounds quite nice actually, what is your dh cooking?

LinusDKD · 14/11/2014 18:58

Oh but I am wearing Mac Russian Red to match my plaid flannel pj bottoms. Grin

MarshaBrady · 14/11/2014 18:58

Linus one lonely tangerine Grin

Welcome littlemoo

LinusDKD · 14/11/2014 19:00

The tangerine is no more marsha!

Littlemoocow · 14/11/2014 19:04

Thanks all! I too am jealous of party animal status. I have a sick baby and don't feel great myself so early nights here.

MarshaBrady · 14/11/2014 19:07

Ah Littlemoo it's tough with a little baby, but they are cute. How old?

AmberNectarine · 14/11/2014 19:11

What a day - check engine light came on in the car. I thought 'here we go' and took it to the garage expecting a huge bill. Actually was nothing and they sorted for free. I left the garage thinking 'knowing my luck I'll have an accident now' - not ONE MINUTE later I got rear ended. FFS. Anyway, have a case of mild whiplash but otherwise fine, just glad the kids were at school.

Hi littlemoocow - yes I have the grey warehouse fur. I LOVE it. I don't find it too shiny, but I do like my furs to look plush. I've worn it loads already! Goes with everything.

betty is right, guilty as charged - just getting ready to go out. Now, what to wear - am already half an hour late!

Will catch up properly later when drunk

Drywhiteplease · 14/11/2014 19:14

Hello Moo , do stay, it's nice here.
Shop if I had your legs I'd wear those sexy leather trousers every time I went out. Your outfit sounds perfect, don't worry, you always look fab. Have a great evening.
The iWardrobe would be fantastic!
Linus I'm in my pjs too! but no lippy Grin glass of wine, doing nails for tomorrow .
7 adults, 7 children. Have gone bonkers making soup! Another variation on Mom's fusion dinner tomorrow and found an incredible deal on prosecco so my garage fridge is full. Have made all beds and cleaned bathrooms. Think I'm ready.
