Oh lib I don't go for a run every day! Tree times a week and then only for 30 minutes is all I manage at the moment.

But weirdly enough I do like it and I do seem to have toned up a tiny bit. It hasn't speeded up the weightloss though, on the contrary.

Elizabeth Arden also do a lovely kohl pencil if you're still looking.

Muscle weighs more than fat Linus - you look great.
I am writing down all the liner recommendations. Hopefully will get a chance to browse around a few counters tomorrow.

these pixie pants in navy arrived today and I love them.

They are slightly different than the black ones I already have as they have a zip at the front and and zips on the hips.

If you want cheap lib I like bourjois eyeliners. The ones with the spongy bit at the end for blending.

Trying to chase up my Coast skirt but they have no phone number so I've sent an email. Grr.

Forgot some links I meant to do. I took DSis (16) shopping when I was in Ireland and bought her these boots from River Island. They are excellent for the price IMO, very comfy and look much more expensive. I am seriously considering some for myself too.

Also bought her this parka from H&M. Such good fun shopping with her Smile and that's one Christmas present out of the way though I know I'll crack and buy her something small to open on the day too Smile

Lib I use a bobbi brown gel liner that comes in a little pot like this. You apply with a fine brush in little dabs, don't need a steady hand. If I can manage it must be easy Smile.

libertychick · 17/11/2014 13:05

Oh I like the look of that one Mara Smile
QueenC I meant to say I love Bourjois, will definitely check those out.

Lib I have one of those that I never got on with. You're welcome to try it.....

shopafrolic · 17/11/2014 13:27

So the J Crew heels have arrived but they aren't red! But I actually really love them and think they'd look great with a grey tee and boyfriends.... WWYD?

I think they look great!

shopafrolic · 17/11/2014 14:26

I do love them - they make me feel girly and fun. They are probably not as bright and cool as they should be (I'm supposed to wear scarlet and fuchsia etc.) but I figure that since they are on my feet it doesn't matter too much? Plus I bought them to wear with jeans and tees or a silk blouse....... They were such a bargain......

libertychick · 17/11/2014 14:26

They look fabulous Shop. Yes please I'd love to try the eyeliner!

santamarianovella · 17/11/2014 16:52

shop they look so good,

liberty I use a bobbi brown one, and Lancôme,

It's really cold here, wearing oversized Bruno cardigan , plain cashmere sweater and leather leggings and marant boots, dh said this morning that I look feerce for work Hmm

shopafrolic · 17/11/2014 16:54

Just had my Marant Crisi's reheeled - and because they couldn't do the half heel the way the boots came, they have put a full heel on but in a rubbish plasticky light colour. Looks awful :(

cartoontrickster · 17/11/2014 17:00

hi ladies, I'm terrible for lurking here Blush i did try and join a while ago (if anyone remembers) but didn't manage to keep up. i hardly shop as lack of funds but love to look. not sure i really know what my style is anymore anyway.
today i am wearing slightly too big newlook skinnys, a really old pink and navy lumberjack shirt from river island with a &other stories white with thin navy vertical stripes jumper. not sure if the jumper goes but I'm cold!
oh eyeliners i really like benefit waterproof bad gal eyeliner pencil.

maradesbois · 17/11/2014 17:26

to Cartoon, I remember you. Welcome back!

Shop lovely shoes, sounds like you'll definitely wear them so I'd say keep too. They look great with your jeans in the pic.

Have just ordered my dsis's Christmas present but not going to link as not 100% sure she's not an occasional lurker here so if that's the case ha ha foiled! Grin

libertychick · 17/11/2014 17:49

Oh that's annoying shop. Sounds a bit soon to have needed to get them done, you've only had them a few months Confused

Welcome back cartoon - just pop in whenever you can Smile. Thanks for the eyeliner tip. And thanks santa too - though it seems that there isn't a clear consensus on the best ones!! Your outfit today sounds great.

I've mentioned a few times that I'm on a mission to relax / do more things I enjoy. I got DH to find me a little stereo for my work station at home and I've dug out loads of old CDs. Have happily warbled along to Amy Winehouse, Christy Moore and Blush James Blunt all afternoon!

shopafrolic · 17/11/2014 18:07

I know Lib I wasn't impressed with the heel wear - have just had to drop my Pistols in too Hmm

libertychick · 17/11/2014 18:48

That is really rubbish shop.

bettykt · 17/11/2014 20:01

hello Cartoon I remember you as Liberty said just pop in when you can. I don't buy much and since joining MNV I buy even less Shock as I'm getting really picky with clothes and I keep questioning whether they are me.

Shop great shoes I really like the colour

Can I ask another question? Okay heels, for those of you who are SAHMs do you wear heels much during the day during the week? I quite fancy wearing heels more like you see a lot on Pinterest skinnies and heels but I'd look a bit Hmm chasing hobbling after dc on scooters doing the school run in heels. Do you wear them to the supermarket? Or do you just save them for nights out? Sorry for the rambling!

OneLittleLady · 17/11/2014 20:17

Hi Cartoon

Such a shame about your heels shop i wonder if there's anywhere else that could do a better job?

lib nothing finer than having a good old warble, I do it frequently Grin

betty I too have got very picky, I haven't changed my style as such, I'm just more careful over fabrics and now always check the stitching on new things

MarshaBrady · 17/11/2014 20:41

Betty the only shoes with a heel I can do in the day are the pistols, which are not too high. I only do real heels at night time with the taxi.

Linus good going on the running! I'm enjoying it in this cooler weather.

hey cartoon Smile

cartoontrickster · 17/11/2014 20:45

ah thanks for the welcome back lovelies.
betty i feel the same! i think some outfits just seem to look better with a heel but i have always only worn them for nights out, which are few and far between since having Ds.
i get bored with clothes quickly son tend to go with quantity over quality at times id like to change that though.
oh i really like those shoes btw shop

LinusDKD · 17/11/2014 20:46

betty the only heels I can do with the DC are my Ash Jalouses.
