Happy birthday Sleep and One [fizz] Cake have lovely days

Going to look at the GG dresses.

Stokey · 12/01/2015 10:21

Happy Birthday One and Sleep. I agree about American Apparel One, the skirts and dresses are getting shorter and so are the tops, I think it's definitely going for a more teen audience these days, mybe competing with the likes of Hollister? They're good for hoodies though!

Great link Shop, that lady looks fantastic. I not patient enough to do the whole charity shop search thing but I have a friend who always finds great buys.

Katie Holmes looked amazing, a great winter purple. I always love Julianne Moore too, looks like metallics are a big trend. And I don't know who she is but Felicity Jones is wearing the kind of dress I love seeing at these things, real classic Hollywood.

For me Keira Knightley at the GGs is Romantic gone too far.

MarshaBrady · 12/01/2015 10:31

Do not like Rosamund Pike's dress at all, although she looks v pretty, with make up etc.

Not keen on Amal's white gloves

Katie Holmes looks gorgeous in that colour

Diane Kruger looks stunning

Just popping on quickly to say happy birthday to One and Sleep hope you're both having lovely days.

Will pop back late to check out GG links.

Fedupnagging · 12/01/2015 14:06

Ok, grey roots are all now covered up and didn't let the hairdresser take too much off the ends so am pretty happy. Well, I was until it started to rain whilst walking Fedupdog!

Great links last night for the classic romantic Hmm - not quite you Blair and not sure Lib could go that flouncy either! Anyway, all this style chat is very interesting.

Read your link Shop; what a great idea - she obviously has a fantastic sense of style. I went into a charity shop on the Kings Road recently but didn't find anything I liked. I was really disappointed.

One, fantastic shopping; sounds like you are enjoying your week away. Hope you link some of your haul.

justasecond · 12/01/2015 14:51

Happy birthday One and Sleep hope you are both having fabulous days!
Agree Katie Holmes looks good in that colour although her dress looks a bit creased. I usually love all Amal's fashion choices and I think she is stunning but white gloves don't go with her dress at all. Keira Knightly's dress defo belongs on the RC board Blair linked.
Can't believe that lady in Shop's link is 46 she looks so much younger.

santamarianovella · 12/01/2015 16:37

I didnt like most of the dresses,

sienna looks different,like the way renee zellweger looks different now , but not in good way,her skin looks harsh. Somthing is odd,

I liked Keira dress, very pretty, and just looks great on her

Rosamund , looked so beautiful, I didn't even notice her dress or lack of it. Grin
But to be honest, think Eddie redmayne was the hottest and best dress person there, wow! And I was never a fan, his Wife looked so pretty.they make a lovely couple .

And blair that board you linked is totally you,I could see you pulling off those frilly socks with crochet flats Grin

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 16:52

Apoy birthday Sleep and one would have posted at breakfast, but DH was there off to check out GG dresses

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 16:53

"apoy"? Hmm seem to have turned into a Cockney Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 12/01/2015 16:54

Now now santa Hmm Grin

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 16:58

Santa I agree. I think the crochet slippers and frilly socks would be lovely with a sexy frilly negligee for a wedding night Wink ....you'd be irresistible Blair......hang on, off to find an image.......

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 17:00

with a matching peignoir too! very wafty

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 17:01

don't stand near a naked flame

libertychick · 12/01/2015 17:01

I have made my first purchase using my new little colour book - as usual TKMaxx has come to the rescue and I got this dress which I sincerely hope is forest green!! Seriously, I am colour blind. Even with a fabric swatch to match against I was doubting myself. But I think it looks good on me which is the main thing Smile.

Then keeping Novice's advise in mind I bought this in Accessorise to wear with it.

Honest opinions very welcome.

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 17:03

this is fabulous

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 17:04

Infact Blair I think you should get married in it....such a great ensemble

Drywhiteplease · 12/01/2015 17:06

I really love it Liberty, such a great colour! can actually see you looking lovely in it. Necklace is perfect and you'll wear it a lot.

BrandyAlexander · 12/01/2015 17:10

That dress is bloody gorgeous Lib! For £24 as well!!!! Love the necklace too. Would love to be able to wear it.Envy

OMG at Drys link! I would only be tempted if I had secret cameras to tape the look on dh's faceGrin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 12/01/2015 17:12

Behave Dry!!

Lib I like the dress, nice soft curves in it and the asymmetric detailing - can't comment on the colour as i'm sure it's slightly different in real life. It can help to use the opposite side of the entire swatch book against a large item to see at a glance if the colours "tone".

The necklace is pretty, mirrors the neckline of the dress. Not sure if it might be a bit long though? Maybe that's just my taste.

Cranagh · 12/01/2015 17:13

The dress is perfect, Liberty.

Happy birthday, One and Sleep! Cake

santamarianovella · 12/01/2015 17:23

Oh I forgot happy birthday sleep and one, many happy returns,

Oh that peignoir is just fabulous, we need an equally sexy robe de chambre for mrblair, preferably in paisley print,

liberty gorgeous colour, great find!

maradesbois · 12/01/2015 17:24

Happy Birthday Sleep and One [fizz] and Thanks Cake.

Thanks for GG dress links. I loved Diane Kruger and Helen Mirren's and thought Kate Hudson looked fab. All too often at these things the big dress takes over completely from the wearer but thought Kate made a big plunging Versace number work with her laid back style. As for the men it's Benedict all the way for me .

Liberty that green dress is fab and looks perfect for you. Good old TK, what would we do without it?!

maradesbois · 12/01/2015 17:30

Santa think mrblair already has sexy loungewear covered with his onesie Grin. Whispers my dh may or may not actually own a paisley silk dressing gown.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 12/01/2015 17:35

If he wears the onesie and I wear that "fabulous" monstrosity then our wedding night will certainly be errr memorable!!

maradesbois · 12/01/2015 17:39

Don't kick me off the thread for this but I would love a knitted bed jacket like my grandma used to wear for reading at night. Would make one if I could knit!
