Shooooop please come tonight, we will miss you so much Sad....One sorry you are still suffering. Take care.

In between kids parties dropping off/picking up I just made the mistake of trying this in Anna...what do you think? Who has gone for it with a jump suit? This is the first one I've tried but would make getting ready for all Xmas events - including tonight (!) so easy....I'm not supposed to be spending though Sad

QueenCardigan · 22/11/2014 13:47

I love that sleep. Buy it!!!!!!

Sleepwhenidie · 22/11/2014 14:17

You need a bag like that for walking the dog Mom Confused - are the poo bags and doggy treats that big and precious Wink?

Queen I have just texted DH to ask if I can get it as my xmas present. He wants cycling shoes - which cost similar. I made the mistake of expressing my shock at this to him a few weeks back and he (who bought me Rockstuds last birthday remember) - gave me a Hmm and a sarcastic 'wow, yeah, shoes that cost £300+ - can you imagine?! At least the ones I want do something!' - fair enough Blush!

Mara - I definitely don't need to cancel my booking tonight? You have sorted it all? Just asking as I had an email reminder yesterday....

libertychick · 22/11/2014 14:38

Get it if you can sleep. Will look fab on you. I've tried a few one but havent found one that suits me yet.

So much for having a blow dry this morning. It wasn't a good one and now I am out with DD and the frizz is setting in. Ah well, the bar will be dark and everyone will be drunk Grin
and it would be fab if shop threw caution to the wind at the last minute and hopped on a train

Come on Shop - you can still crash here afterwards....Smile

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/11/2014 15:25

Hellooo all! Excited! I've had a super lazy day (well, been writing) and have just washed my hair. So annoying about the weather - I do not own an umbrella and was also planning on wearing suede shoe boots. BBC website says light rain and iphone says 50% chance so fingers crossed.

I love that jumpsuit Sleep, so chic and can definitely see you in it.

novice I am dressing up (well, dress and black opaques).

shopafrolic · 22/11/2014 15:31

Sleep kisses for you my friend but I really can't this time. Other issue aside, my DB is over from abroad arriving at my folks this afternoon and then leaving tomorrow PM so I need to see him. Sorry. Love the jumpsuit - buy it!
Liberty you'll look fab regardless. It always seems to rain for MUs (apart from that epic hot hot summer one!). Usually stops quickly though.

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2014 15:56

Sleep buy it! Love it

Blair Novice it took ages to find the right Wolfords, nearly black not satin finish but matt so I'm basing my outfit around this.

Will have to be a dress, trouble is I need one like QueenC not too dressy. Which of course I dont have.

Liberty I'm sure it's lovely, I love our mu disclaimers. I'll have some soon I know. I know the peacoat will be wrong with a dress but I want to wear it anyway.

Shop I was going to say the same but saw your post. We'll toast the collective vogue spirit with everyone that can't make it.

Momin hope you can make it!

Dh has been a champ today and taken the dc to a 3 hour party across town. So glad, as it finishes at 6 which would have been tricky.

santamarianovella · 22/11/2014 16:32

sleep yes buy it! It's very you!

mom love the dog walking bag!

Hope you all have fun at the meet up!

I'm going out later with dh, will wear Bruno cream shirt dress,and new coat, can't decide what shoes to wear, don't want to wear boots,but its freezing today,and we sometimes go walking after dinner by the harbour, so stilettos are not a good option, Hmm,

maradesbois · 22/11/2014 16:39

Very nice mom (and obviously essential dog walking attire).

Am in shock at how much have just spent on dh's Christmas gift. Have been budgeting for it since September to be fair but the shop had the annual price hike since. It's personalised too so no going back. Having a large coffee in our local cafe to recover and contemplate. Also got a mini bottle of prosecco to enjoy while getting ready. Santé for later Wine.

Shop hilarious conversation with your cocktail guy!

Gorgeous jumpsuit sleep. Btw the place told me on phone they'd cancelled your booking and increased mine then I got email with the revised number so maybe recheck the online thing or give them a call? The girl I spoke to seemed really efficient though so would presume she sorted it.

maradesbois · 22/11/2014 16:44

Our neighbourhood looks so beautiful with the decorations up. London is gorgeous at Christmas. Earlier I went to Fortnum's and got a tree decoration (only one as it was £15!) and advent calendars for myself and dsis who is looking after ds. Oh and a musical box of biscuits that plays jingle bells!

LinusDKD · 22/11/2014 16:46

I will need live updates from the MU tonight! Please?!

That Elderflower liqueur looks yummy shop, I might have to buy some St. Germain next time I'm in France.

Belvoir Elderflower cordial was a favourite of DH and me when we lived in London. Great with champagne.

I think I won't have the MNV cocktail either tonight as we're out of ice. I'll stick with bubbles as well and will try to unearth our bottle of homemade sloe gin.

Gorgeous jumpsuit sleep!

I like your style mom, an Hermès dogwalking bag. Grin

Have fun in London tonight ladies. I wish I was there!

AmberNectarine · 22/11/2014 17:00

Have just realised my drinks are the next street over from the first MU venue so I should definitely be able to swing by for a quick drink. No idea what I'm wearing. Currently at soft play in denim hot pants, opaques, J Crew plaid shirt and Michael Kors fur gilet. Will obvs change!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/11/2014 17:37

DP is going to drive me to the station in his onesie Hmm Grin

Good news Amber!

Of course we will do updates Linus, esp as we get drunker Grin

Ok leaving now. See lots of you soon x

shopafrolic · 22/11/2014 17:58

Have fun guys. Smile

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2014 18:12

I have tried on 4 things and I officially have nothing to wear. That isn't skinnies and a blinking jumper!

Mominatrix · 22/11/2014 18:20

Linus - St Germain is available on Ocado Wink

Hope DH and DS come back at a reasonable time. What time do you think you ladies will be out until?

bettykt · 22/11/2014 18:24

Am on the train, albeit later than intended, see some of you soon. Yikes!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/11/2014 18:31

Mom my last train from Waterloo is at 10 past 12 so depending on what everyone else does I'm up for staying until then!

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2014 18:52

Mom I'll be out as least as late as Blair!

Taxi taking a while, hurry up.

maradesbois · 22/11/2014 18:59

On my way in cab, traffic is terrible and hair is bad, didn't even have time for my prosecco!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/11/2014 19:02

I'm here and it's really busy, we need to be on watch for a table Grin

Topazandpearl · 22/11/2014 19:07

Have a lovely evening everyone! If I hadn't had to work today, I could have been on that train with you mara. Am looking forward to the updates too and wishing I could have been there.

LinusDKD · 22/11/2014 19:12

betty don't worry, everyone is very welcoming!

mom as France is only a 10 minute drive away I think that'll be quicker than ordering from Ocado. Wink

I want to know EVERYTHING! Who's wearing what, what the bling is like, who's hair looks perfect, who can hold their drink the best Grin

Eurgh, I just had a raclette for dinner and now I am suffering from a cheese overdose.

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2014 19:19

Haha Linus Grin

Betty it's a bit nerve wracking, the first one, I remember the first one. But I promise we'll be ultra welcoming and give you a glass of prosecco quickly to make it pass
