Still going strong as we head into 2015. Not a chance I can beat the vol 50 intro from the lovely Dry so I won't even try. Lots of newbies have joined the fun, why don't you? Come tell us your sales splurges. All welcome for fun fashion chat.

Dry Grin

libertychick · 06/01/2015 21:27

Yes, I can see myself 'doing a shop' on this Grin

I had thought about just doing style as I had decided just to deny the colours thing and stick with the black/grey/navy thing I have going on. Then when I was booking I thought 'oh fuck it, just do the lot' and now I am worried....

Karbea · 06/01/2015 21:27

liberty I've just been looking at yoga mats on the tk maxx site! there seemed to be quite a few nice things.

MarshaBrady · 06/01/2015 21:30

I'm excited about the HoC days, the big reveal.

santamarianovella · 06/01/2015 21:30

Beautiful shoes dry,

I lost my LV scarf today ,didnt notice, that i lost it till later on in the day, , I love that scarf a lot, Sad

libertychick · 06/01/2015 21:31

I could have bought several items today Karbea - but I got a grip, I've only done one exercise class so far Grin

libertychick · 06/01/2015 21:33

Oh Santa that's terrible. I hate losing things like that - I still mourn a scarf I lost on holiday in NZ 5 years ago

Karbea · 06/01/2015 21:34

Where is travelincolour based?

AmberNectarine · 06/01/2015 21:37

Chichester and the surrounding area Karbea.

AmberNectarine · 06/01/2015 21:38

I recently lost my cashmere cos beanie and my pink leather gloves. In the same pub, on separate occasions. I need to stop drinking there.

Karbea · 06/01/2015 21:41

Oh no santa can y ou replace it or find it?
I once made a concierge in a hotel call every place we'd been one night to find a pashmina, it was returned folded and ironed.
I also made dh walk back to the cinema to hunt for a scarf I'd left... Only to,realise I'd left it at home...

Drywhiteplease · 06/01/2015 21:45

Oh no Santa that's sad.
Amber sorry to laugh but that's sad and funny at the same time

Evening,

Back to normal today, managed a gym session and got rid of the (big bastard) Christmas tree; down 2 flights of stairs, into the car and to the recycling place. Put it in an old double duvet cover and bin bags to minimise needle drop. The neighbours must have thought I'd done dh in and was disposing of the evidence.

Marsha I asked them how to pronounce it in July when I bought my burgundy tote just before the summer mu. Thought it may have been one of those posh British things that are designed to trip you up like Berkeley/Barclay but no! The Sloane Square store has lots of nice bags on sale that would be good for work. I was really tempted by one to match my pencil case but resisted.

Nearly bought some dvf sale stuff today. Won't link until I decide but bargainous.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 06/01/2015 21:46

There is a man where my husband works who pronounces the range rover as an ewok.

I need to start looking in TK Maxx for items, I always end up going in on my iwn as hubby has severe OCD in there with things not folded on shelves in size order (he is the same in primark)

shopafrolic · 06/01/2015 21:46

I'm going to start stalking you all. Following you from place to place picking up everything you leave behind Grin

AmberNectarine · 06/01/2015 21:47

I once had a massive paddy over a lost scarf, only to find it in the glove compartment of the car!

OneLittleLady · 06/01/2015 21:47

Topaz my birthday is the 12th of January, Sleep and I are birthday twins!

I'm tempted to do HoC but only the colour part, I'm not interested in the style day if I'm honest. Will look into it

muddlingalongquitenicely · 06/01/2015 21:50

I fancy doing hoc, had a quick scout around on the internet at bits and pieces thinking im a winter from what ive read and i actually preferred the colours it recommends to any of the other ones

maradesbois · 06/01/2015 21:53

Oh no Santa. Over Christmas I lost one of my leather gloves that mil had handmade for me a few years ago. So annoying.

QueenC sorry you're feeling rubbish but great news about the holiday. Lovely to have something to look forward to in Jan/Feb as the winter drags on.

BrandyAlexander · 06/01/2015 22:01

Shop, you know you would do well out of me!Grin currently lost is a mulberry purse. Dh's Christmas present last year. I am sure he thinks I don't use it because I don't like it. As opposed to no clue where it is! I never took it out of the package.Blush

shopafrolic · 06/01/2015 22:03

I already stalk you Novice Grin

OP posts:
BrandyAlexander · 06/01/2015 22:11

Grin Very wise.

Does anyone want to take some make up off my hands?Specifically, a Dior Bronze Palette? Not my colours and only used once. I went on a business trip, left my make up behind and bought it as emergency. Realised after one wear that the colours didn't suit me. Most of the little pot thing are unworn. If you fancy it, PM me and will post to you.

santamarianovella · 06/01/2015 22:11

Good luck to both liberty, and karbea, on your style days,

BrandyAlexander · 06/01/2015 22:31

And to prove I really am an idiot! I did it a second time. Got on plane minus make up. Bought on plane, used for one meeting and never used again. Again, I don't think I actually used most of the bits. It's also a Dior Palette. Here's pic. Again if you fancy taking it off my hands do please PM or text me! (Dh will be very happy!)

Nice makeup novice, way too warm for ol' pasty face here though.

Hope you find it santa, drives me crazy when I lose stuff all the time
DH away tonight, was full of good intentions to spend the evening productively. Instead have got drunk with the SATC boxset. Sigh.
