fedup click on the "shop" link above.

shopafrolic · 09/02/2015 20:19

Following you now Karbea :)

OneLittleLady · 09/02/2015 20:22

Sounds like a good haul karbea I love the yellow top but it's something I could never wear as yellow makes me look positively ghastly!

Fingers crossed you get your payrise Dry

Well done to MrW blair I can't believe how close your big day is now!

All quiet here, I've been finishing off the very last bit of the presentation I've got to do tomorrow, some crossed fingers for me, if you will as I'm very nervous

Planning tomorrows clothes now and think I'm going to wear my pink and navy trim animal print knitted skirt, jay and silent bob tee and black boyfriend cardigan. Unsure whether to go for black velvet mary jane flats or black velvet boots with it though

shopafrolic · 09/02/2015 20:24

Oh and well done MrBlair. MrShop became unemployed 8 weeks before our wedding Shock

Fedupnagging · 09/02/2015 20:28

Thanks Karbea, I'm now following you. Love those tops especially the Michael kors yellow.

This top arrived last week and have decided to keep - it's a bit big but I'll probably shrink it!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/02/2015 22:07

shop Shock When DP and I first moved in together (5 years ago), I had been out of work for 6 months and then he got made redundant 3 weeks before the move (we both had worked at the same place). The same happened to my sister and her DP - 3 redundancies between them in a year. Thankfully things are better now, but 8 weeks before the wedding must have been so scary for you both.

Great shopping Karbea, hope you feel more positive now :) I love the Maje top.

Ouch Fedup hope you're okay, that sounds horrible.

Dry fingers crossed!

shopafrolic · 10/02/2015 08:00

Morning all - quiet last night Hmm
Just popping in to wish One luck today :)

OneLittleLady · 10/02/2015 08:04

thank you Shop I do hate giving presentations but it has to be done or it's an automatic fail and I don't want that!

Red lipstick and my lucky pants should see me through Grin

BrandyAlexander · 10/02/2015 08:53

Good luck One! Can't go wrong with lucky pants!Grin

Shop, loved the selfie.Smile

I am wearing my knew Karen Millen striped wool dress. I have only just got to office and so far have had 4 totally independent compliments from dh, our nanny and 2 people on the train!!

Ujjayi · 10/02/2015 09:10

Good luck One! I hatedpresentations too at college. In fact even last week's talk to students was traumatic! But it's only ever the anticipation of the event - you'll be great once you start talking Smile

Novice - go you, Mrs Reaping the Compliments Lady Grin. Isn't it great when that happens?!

Currently sitting outside of TKMaxx to return a Comic Relief tee that I ordered for eldest DC. It arrived without tags or plastic packaging so I am hoping they are going to accept the return. Trying to channel friday's assertive mood, just in case!

Must not shop today. Straight in & out of TKMaxx, quick dash to Zara for return (out of time - will they offer a credit note instead?). And then JL for lining fabric & the top Shop linked yesterday.

MarshaBrady · 10/02/2015 09:13

Good luck One!

Novice nice going with the nice morning.

sleepwhenidie · 10/02/2015 09:48

Good luck One!

I am just sitting with a macchiato before kickboxing, lovely cycle through Regents Park to get here, so much nicer when the weather is milder Smile.

sleepwhenidie · 10/02/2015 09:49

Novice link to dress?

Please could someone link or PM me Ujjayi's blog Flowers?

Go one. You will be great!

Yay to lots of compliments novice Smile

The Tory Burch dress arrived yesterday and it is so gorgeous but a bit tight Sad. I so need to lose half a stone but finding it really difficult. I am debating whether to just order a size up. Will wait and see what the Raoul one is like. It's due to arrive today.

Cycle through Regents Park sounds great Sleep. My exercise for today will be a half hour walk through a much less scenic part of London! But there is a nice cafe near my meeting venue so I will join you in a nice coffee Smile

Good luck one, I hate presentations too so know how you feel.

Haven't got time to catch up on all the links yet. I went to bed ridiculously early last night as my heavy period took me completely unawares. Two weeks after the last one which isn't completely abnormal for me but no mood swings, bloating, spotting etc so a bit of a shock.

It's milder here today too. Circuits in -2 degrees was a bit of a killer yesterday. I was hoping it would warm up for half term but I can't see it happening. Only a month till the meet up so hope it warms up by then.

Karbea · 10/02/2015 10:55

I've just ordered over £700 worth of stuff from the outnet, inc a bikini (we don't even have a holiday booked!) I will link a bit later. I really wanted some blue jeans, but couldn't see any quite right.
I really need to sort out the footwear issue.
I need (probably 3 different?) boots, mid heel about 85mm, brown, to go with jeans, trousers and my faux leather legging things... It's annoying me... I love the valentino stud boots and the im ones but they are a bit £££...

And the shopping brakes are off karbea Grin. I haven't had time yet to look at your pins yet from yesterday.

Karbea · 10/02/2015 11:41

lib I hadn't shopped for a long time, and then I took all of the bad ;) colours out, so I was pretty much walking around in the nude! DH will probably freak as I told him we need to be sensible as I want to do some housey things, but hey it's normally him who is the spend freak.
Tbh I'll probably send some/most of the outnet order back but at least I'm back shopping.

Ujjayi · 10/02/2015 13:51

Not loving Mrs Beckham's look today. Way too much camel & those trousers are cut too short (altho preferable to her "feet aren't fashionable" phase with her hems on the floor)

MarshaBrady · 10/02/2015 13:58

yes agree Ujj if that short they should be slimmer. And yep to too much camel.

Well done Karbea!

QueenCardigan · 10/02/2015 15:44

Any thoughts on these shoes

santamarianovella · 10/02/2015 16:26

Nooooo queen sorry! they remind me of the wicked witch of the east shoes, from the original wizard of oz, Although they were red I think!

one good luck,

karbea good shopping and well done

blair congrats to mrW

Don't like VB camel overkill at all!

lib think its best to upsize,it's a beautiful dress, and you can always have it altered when you lose weight,

I'm still not buying, but I'm thinking of what to get for spring, first thing will be flats, I need two, and maybe high heels, also. Still lusting after that chloe sweater,but would like to see it IRL, and I can't get it here,

Karbea · 10/02/2015 16:47

Maybe VB has just been told she's an Autumn and doesn't know what to wear.

QueenCardigan · 10/02/2015 16:55

Grin at santa. Any other thoughts...?

Karbea · 10/02/2015 17:15

queen I agree with santa either that or an evil head teacher.
