DS v excited so early start for me

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 08:10

shop and lib have a fab day. We want full details!

I had to guess a lot of the kate moss quiz too!

Gap is 30% off today if anyone wanted those belts. I've ordered my jeans

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 08:47

Have fun today Shop and Lib

Santa that must be tough, try to take it easy though for a while.

Fedupnagging · 17/01/2015 09:14

Shop and Lib have a lovely day - how exciting trying on lots of lovely clothes, it's like having your own personal shopper!

Nice shoes One and yes definitely a maxi dress or skirt to go with.

Kate moss quiz - 5/10, apart from the 1st picture, it was all guess work.

Novice hope your head is ok today! Have a quiet weekend if you can.

Am going away this weekend to stay with a friend . It will involve some shopping, and lots of chatting, cocktails and fizz.

When I was sorting what to wear/pack, I realised I still have a lot of winter clothes in my wardrobe that I have not yet worn this winter. It seems that I am really only wearing a handful of items (that I love) really regularly. I should probably get of of them I guess?

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 09:24

Aaargh it's snowing here - really heavily!

Stokey · 17/01/2015 09:34

Your weekend sounds lovely Fedup. Maybe go through the things you're not wearing and split into a Keep and Throw pile. I've got a bag of jumpers in the corner of my room that I got out at the start of the winter but have only delved into once so I guess they're going.

Hope the snow doesn't mean you can't go Shop. Your day sounds brilliant. Bright sunshine in London if that helps.

Play date and kids party today , the excitement, am going to be in pleather leggings, pettys and pink Hush jumper.

santamarianovella · 17/01/2015 09:35

shop, is it minishop 's birthday today?

santamarianovella · 17/01/2015 09:39

Scratch that, just reread again, have a fun clothes day both of you!

Drywhiteplease · 17/01/2015 09:44

7/10 and snow here too.

LinusDKD · 17/01/2015 09:56

No snow here, yet.

shop and lib have fun today! I wish I lived closer to a MNVoguette but I think the closest one to me is santa and I would still have to cross a border. Wink

marsha you have Lanvin ballet flats, right? What is sizing like?

I must have asked you before but I've forgotten your answer Blush

And I have actually tried on a pair in store but I have forgotten my size Blush

I have been waiting for a black pair to go into the sales but no luck, so I might have to buy them fp (which I hate doing for most things)

LinusDKD · 17/01/2015 09:58

Just googled the distance between us santa.... it would be a 9 h drive! Shock

bettykt · 17/01/2015 10:09

My package has arrived from Shop and I love them all. Thank you. Will probably use/ wear everything today to brighten up a grey/black outfit. No snow here yet but very cold. So will have to wear my shearling boots Grin

Shopand Lib have a great swishing MU, what fun. Hope the snow doesn't disrupt your plans

Fedup have a lovely time away with your friend [fizz]

Linus Santa what if you met half way? That's only 4.5 hours and if you took a train even quicker enabler Smile

Have a lovely weekend everyone, dh has taken dc to Saturday morning activities so I have the house to myself for a few hours - bliss.

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 10:12

Linus I sized up half a size, I don't like it when they're too snug. What a shame re those black ones! What size are you normally?

Fedup have a lovely time.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 17/01/2015 10:20

No snow here and lovely blue skies.
Going out shortly to go look at bridesmaids dresses with my 2 sisters and also to see the wedding dress she picked. Going to be interesting finding our dresses as my sister and i are different colouring (im dark haired pale skin she is blonde and looks a healthy tan iykwim)
Wearing my new mint velvet top skinny jeans and grey dorothy perkins t bar grey heels.

LinusDKD · 17/01/2015 10:42

I am usually a 37,5 marsha but sometimes a 37 and my Manolos are even a 36.5. Then again, sometimes I am a 38 like in my French Sole flats. Confused

I vaguely remember that I once tried a 37.5 in Lanvin but I'm not sure anymore.

Not sure yet if I'll bite the bullet either as I really hate paying fp for things that do get discounted at some point. Grin

BrandyAlexander · 17/01/2015 11:02

Oh no! fingers crossed for Shop and Lib.

Thanks Fedup, definitely a quiet one for us. We'll about as quiet as it gets with the children's activities! I am in Waitrose having a tea while dd plays tennis. on your clothes, yes you need to be ruthless. If you get to the end of winter and haven't worn them then get rid. I am eyeing up a number of tops that will probably go that way. have a lovely weekend.

so I finally scratched the Bayswater itch and have bought one. I have one already in a great colour which I use for work but this is just a knock about, chuck my crap in there on a weekend type bag. I feel somewhat bad saying that given that's what my mulberry mitzy hobo and Aspinal biker are all aimed at. so trying to justify by saying I might use it as a travel bag. There is no justification it is just an itchBlush

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 11:40

No snow here. V cold but v bright. Trying to persuade myself to go for a run.

Hope you can still meet shop and lib.

linus are you comng to join us again in March? Just a reminder to you all that it's March 14. My tickets are booked so I'd better not be the only one there otherwise I've got 10 hours shopping!

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 11:41

What colour did you get novice

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/01/2015 13:27

Afternoon all. I wrote this earlier and forgot to press post!

Have fun fedup, it sounds lovely! And muddling too - do report back if you choose dresses :)

No snow here. DP is at work - it's that time of year! So my task for today is writing the wedding invitations. I have a spreadsheet! It's going better than I anticipated :)

Drywhiteplease · 17/01/2015 14:14

The great thing about online shopping is you don't have to get out of bed to do it Grin, the bad thing is you have to wait for it to arrive Sad

Karbea · 17/01/2015 14:29

Oh but it's lovely when big packages arrive it's like Christmas!

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 15:25

Hi all. I am sat in the car outside my house while DS sleeps off "the best play date ever". He and MiniLib get on so well it is very sweet. We've had a great time and swapped lots, and Lib is now the proud owner of my Chloe peacoat which looks great on her. I have some lovely new knitwear in winter colours and a Uniqlo navy silk shirt which fits better as it has concealed buttons. Lib has my old red Levi's M&C dress, and my Me&em teal Grecian one. Need to go through the bags when I get in. Wake up little man!
Santa it is DS' party next Sunday and birthday 26th

Drywhiteplease · 17/01/2015 15:29

Agree Karbea
Shop sounds great....

BrandyAlexander · 17/01/2015 15:36

Shop that's brilliant. Envy Was avidly watching my phone, where were the pics?!!!!

QueenC, I bought the traditional bayswater in oak. Dh bought me one in grey moleskin/suede for Christmas about 3/4 years ago.

After blinging it all week, am wearing some simple jewelry today including 3 simple stacking rings. 2 silver ones engraved with initials of the dcs and gold one with dh's initial.

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 15:40

Sounds great shop.

I'm having a relaxing afternoon. Dd's are on playmates and parties and ds has a play date here. Dh is out cycling. I almost don't know what to do with myself!
