That sucks shop!

Are there no shops or offices with CCTV in your street you can check?

LinusDKD · 20/11/2014 13:59

I saw this look and thought of you. Maybe you can still wear your olive/khaki trousers and skirts pairing them with black like NaP did?

Oh, and the IMarant watch is also something I can see you wearing Wink

MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 14:03

What a pita Shop I'd be absolutely livid and upset too.

Lovely dress Liberty

What's the Marant watch Linus?

Hair done, happy with blonde again I think. I flicked through every magazine known to man, nearly.

LinusDKD · 20/11/2014 14:14

Click on the NaP link marsha and you'll see the watch.

That is a lovely dress liberty.

OneLittleLady · 20/11/2014 14:20

Lovely dress lib I fancy something similar, well I have some similar shape dresses that are either plain or striped but i'd like some patterned ones

MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 14:20

Oh yes Blush there it is, right in front of me Grin. Yes great look for Shop. Love the watch.

libertychick · 20/11/2014 14:52

I like that watch and yes, great look for Shop.

Hair sounds lovely Marsha - did you see anything nice in any of the magazines?

shopafrolic · 20/11/2014 14:54

Nice dress Lib - can see that looking fab on you - very versatile.
Love that look Linus - yes I've decided to keep the GAP chinos as they do work with black and I'd be silly to get rid of everything. Love that watch. Will put it on my Lust List!

QueenCardigan · 20/11/2014 16:15

Wine for you shop. Inconsiderate bastards. Deffo keep the khakis. Have you had any luck selling any other stuff?
lib I can totally see you in that dress.
marsha can't wait to see the hair
stokey 39 mins Shock. Mind you I'm still waiting for an appt for dd who was seen on 3 September and they wanted to see her in 2 months Hmm. Dh gets annoyed at me getting arsey as its not life or death but it frustrates the hell out of me. I'm scared to go to pals as they've had a complaint from me before. I don't want to get a reputation Grin

Took some stuff back that I'd ordered for the dc today. It was so hideously busy especially in m&s as there's 20% off. I need to do a next order too for some wellies and it will take a large amount of self control not to order the silver shoes or the bag I saw today.

My dress arrived and I love it. Can't wait till anniversary weekend to wear it.

QueenCardigan · 20/11/2014 16:16

Oh I casually mentioned to dh this morning that I may like a onesie for Christmas. He seemed quite excited and wants to choose it. Goodness knows what I'll end up with Grin

OneLittleLady · 20/11/2014 16:42

Embrace the onesie QueenC Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/11/2014 16:57

QueenC are you going to buy him one too? I don't want to be the only MNVer with a onesie-wearing man :(

Linus your parcel arrived! Thank you!! Flowers I can't wait to get home and try them on.

cartoontrickster · 20/11/2014 16:58

hiya
haven't read back but wanted to post while i had a minute.
me and ds have stinking colds so i have been into town to stock up on medicine and a few other boring bits. i had a look in a few shops, nothing much i liked until i went in h&m, for once there is loads. shame i cant really shop at the moment.
www.hm.com/gb/product/30563?article=30563-A#article=30563-B the strpe one.
www.hm.com/gb/product/58597?article=58597-Asweatshirt
www.hm.com/gb/product/42171?article=42171-A&fromSearch=pattern%20dress&cm_vc=SEARCH the floral one
argh their website is useless! cant find the others and ds keeps grabbing at my tablet.
i also saw some silky khaki cargo trousers and a long sleeve black chiffon top with silver beads around the edge of the v-neck.
right need to do ds's tea Smile
hope those links work!

cartoontrickster · 20/11/2014 17:20

shop how very annoying and selfish cant believe some people!
i have 2 onsies a reindeer and a cow Blush ( i know even worse than plain or patterned) blair dh wants a reindeer one so he can match me and ds who also has one Hmm.
i love the liberty doc. i love Omar.

maradesbois · 20/11/2014 17:36

Hello, will catch up on posts & links later, just popping in to say have sent pm to MU attendees re confirming details. Xx

MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 17:54

Stokey how much longer did you have to wait? Hope all is ok.

QueenC great news on the dress. You'll look fab.

Cartoon you'll have to rock up to a mu to support fellow dh-onesie wearer. Grin

Shop I looked at Dazed&Confused, Vogue, Tatler, Elle, Red, hmm Homes & Garden some other stuff. All I remember thinking is Cara D is in a lot of ads. And they really tailor the ads to the magazines. That's it! It all washed over me. Took absolutely ages.

shopafrolic · 20/11/2014 18:18

Are you pleased with your hair tho?

Mominatrix · 20/11/2014 18:23

Evening Ladies.

I leave you for a day and a half and the talk turns to onesies - sheesh!

stokey - that outfit would be perfect...for Halloween if I wanted to go as the Oscar Statue Grin. Annoying about Moorfields - why can't they have a callback function!!

Sorry to hear about the car shop. Can't believe people are so rude as to not leave a note with their details! I would look into CCTV - can't hurt - or put up a sign to see if anyone was a witness. I witnessed a similar hit and run and left a note for the car that was hit. As it was a company logoed lorry which hit it, they were able to get insurance to cover.

Lovely dress, liberty - will you be wearing it to the MU?

Marsha - Phew that you are happy about the hair. Certain that it looks fantastic, and I only seem to remember you as a blonde - did you dye it a different colour inbetween the last time I saw you?

I was finally in TKMaxx today, but I only has a few minutes to peruse the Gold section as I came in to purchase presents for the Gift Grotto for the Christmas Fair. Impressed by the labels I saw - loads of Stella, Marni, some Theory, Helmut Lang, Iro. Unfortunately, nothing decent in my size. I will be returning when I have more time!

I will NOT be purchasing a onesie, but I do have a secret comfy outfit. I wear a HeatTech long tee with heatTech leggings underneath, then a HeatTech fleece long dress in a nordic print on top. On my feet, I wear Uggs. That is the lowest I will permit myself to sink. Unfortunately, I live in this outfit all weekend long, every weekend.

MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 18:26

I think so! Is it bad if I say I'll know more when dh walks through the door Grin

When I left this morning he freaked me out by saying, don't ruin it, it's your hair.

God work are annoying me atm!

MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 18:28

Momin my hair is fairly blonde, but still had highlights probably half way down my hair. But not much difference between the two. The cut today would have removed any last vestige so I thought I'd start from scratch again and do the blonde, so I can grow it out.

Drywhiteplease · 20/11/2014 19:06

Evening all!
Shop I love the J Crew jumper, bet it looked fab on you. I HATE the sod who pranged your car, CCTV would be worth a go, it's bloody illegal as DH tells me all the time. So annoying.
Stokey 39min on hold....and you're paying the bill. Good god.
liberty that dress is FAB...boat neck,3/4 sleeves, black and white, in at waitst, out at hip.....perfect. Would look amazing with bright accessories . V tempted myself.

Oh, I've ordered the gold jumpsuit...so me Grin

Girls over soon for my boudoir party basically means drinking prosecco and eating cake in my new bedroom . Think I might change and do all black, Burberry scarf and red lips.....then again I could borrow DD's onsie, it would be appropriate reindeer NEVER!!!Grin

Sending you all Wine and Cake so you don't feel left out Smile

LinusDKD · 20/11/2014 19:17

Oh I wish I could come to your boudoir party dry!

But I would be denied entrance as I am wearing my onesie again. Sad

Come over to the dark side queenc! You know you want to! Grin

I hope the jeans fit blair! And shop I hope your stuff fits as well!

libertychick · 20/11/2014 20:12

Boudoir party sounds fantastic dry! I love how you celebrate everything. I need to channel that vibe.

I did think of you when I bought the dress!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 20/11/2014 20:16

Dry that is so sweet!

Liberty will you wear your new dress at the mu? Bet it looks ace.

bettykt · 20/11/2014 20:52

Shop what utter b@$t@rds pranging your car, I too would be weeping

Lib lovely dress and as you said very versatile.

Marsha glad you are pleased with your hair. I too with be visiting the hairdressers tomorrow.

Dry you are Martha Stewart without the prison sentence Nigella and Kirsty all rolled into one. Eat your heart out Gwynnie!

Stokey hope you got through in the end.

I've had a nice day, went out for lunch with a friend and had a good catch up. It was a fairly casual affair, just wore grey skinnies, Jalouses and grey tee.
