Link fail
these are mine

Fedupnagging · 15/02/2015 16:38

Take a deep breath QueenC and then smile sweetly. You'll feel loads better!

Thanks for the trouser love - will definitely order later, just trying to decide what else to add to the order. Lib teaming them with the denim & supply top is exactly what I had in mind too. the power of MNV collective thinking!

Dry don't keep the leopard print flats if you are not sure. Hang on a while as more may come into the shops. Am not keen on the KG ones, they look to twee with the bow. The Jemina ones are a fab style but not keen on only the toe having the print.

I like the whistles jeans justa. I had an ecru pair a few years ago and they were a very good colour for spring.

One, stay with your style whatever everyone else says - it's quirky and so you.

LinusDKD · 15/02/2015 16:40

No betty mine are these

I'm a round toe kinda girl, a minority on MNV Wink

I have just had another look at those Balenciaga flats and they only have my size left! But I don't want to pay full price! Especially for an A/W shoe that should have been on sale! Grrr

Drywhiteplease · 15/02/2015 16:47

I love the J Crew ones you have linus but they are sold out in my size grrrrrr.
Fedup Dune are going back.
Will have ordered Amber's to try.
QueenC I'm holding your hand v tightly in Mil solidarity, although the rugby has been fab this weekend as they've all plonked themselves infront of the TV for 2 afternoons and left me alone to watch Netflix......going well so far Smile

Fedupnagging · 15/02/2015 16:55

Does this picture make anyone want to buy this dress? I really don't like the socks with sandals look - is it just me?

Linus meant to say I like the uniqlo dress - I had tagged it as a possible order for me too.

Drywhiteplease · 15/02/2015 17:04

fedup what are you talking about! it's my fav look for summer, that, and socks with my Gigis too Grin

Drywhiteplease · 15/02/2015 17:07

Ok.....one another thing that is bugging me is that they creep around the house like ghosts and suddenly there one of them is as I'm cooking/ipadding /doing my own thing etc, feel like I have toddlers .......prosecco is in fridge, will open soon.

BrandyAlexander · 15/02/2015 17:22

Oh much love to Dry and QueenCWine Thanks

I am on sofa in the kitchen having a cup of tea listening to music while dh is playing the wii with the dcs.

Omg love Ambers totally bargillicious link! pity I have similar RB one.

Linus, you're not alone I am a round toe girl too. I am a size 3 and look like I am trying too hard to be a grown up with the really pointy ones.Hmm

Thanks Betty the Pretty Ballerina are lovely (without the bow) and I actually quite like the different ones. Has anyone ever bought from Bloomingdales? It often comes up on ShopStyle and I wonder about returns and duties.

QueenCardigan · 15/02/2015 18:36

linus im with you on the round toes. I'm slightly tempted by these but I know i should hold out for round toed ones.

I'm on the Wine now. I didn't manage to get out for a run as dh needed a nap as looked after fil overnight (he gets up regularly to use commode and is at risk of falling so needs help). Centre parcs tomorrow though Smile.

topaz great that you're coming to meet up. Anyone else?

LinusDKD · 15/02/2015 18:46

I like pointy toes on other people but on my feet they just look wrong.

I am a size 37/37.5/38 so my feet are average but they just don't work.

santa I don't know if you do bucket bags but I saw this bag and thought of you.

LinusDKD · 15/02/2015 18:49

Or these sandals santa?

bettykt · 15/02/2015 19:14

Woop woop I've well dh found my Gucci watch. He was having a sort out in a cupboard, opened a random box and hey presto it was there. So not in the loft after all, it's really ancient, circa 25 years old, but it still looks good. So went to get a battery put in it, ouch £35 Shock was so pleased that it had been found that I paid it Hmm it's very similar to this but has a grey face.

QueenC have a great time at CP.

Gorgeous bag Linus

Shop I also loved your Adidas trainers, i think to myself they're nice, read a load more comments, turn a page and forget to comment on them, I'm like that with a lot of links. Especially if I can't remember who linked them and also if it's been really busy on here, just pick up on the current topic.

I like pointy toes but for some reason those Aldo flats don't look quite right on me and my round toe shoes seem to look much better.

LinusDKD · 15/02/2015 20:29

Great news betty! (But your link takes me to a pair of shoes and not a watch)

Right, bedtime for me. Shock

Well, pointy v round toe.
I think pointy looks more edgy and modern, but do feel a bit Rumplestiltskin in very pointy.
I have my nude Quilty round toe from R and B which are like slippers, they are so comfy, but just look a bit meh when I wear them. Still look like new though, wear a lot in summer, money well spent.

Have consumed a fair bit of vin rouge......ILs are the most underwhelmed folk I've ever met. When I love something, I LOVE it, when they do they say "oh it's very nice" .....
cooked butterflied leg of lamb £35! in our shed tonight, the most delicious and perfectly pink piece of lamb you could wish for......Shop would have gone nuts because she would love my shed with the bunting, cushions, cosy fleecy throws, fairy lights, wine, hidden damson gin etc soooooo Tumblr DD "oh it's very nice"...............Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Morning!
linus you know me so well Wink I love the chloe bucket bag,I need a bigger cross body bag,

The sandals are gorgeous, and wish I could justify them!

dry I know you are suffering,but your updates about your ils visit is gold! Grin,

I don't like pointy toe flats too, much prefer round ones,

BrandyAlexander · 16/02/2015 09:12

Morning!

Feeling horribly guilty.Sad I stuffed up when I booked my dcs dentist appointment 6 months ago i accidentally put it in the wrong week in my diary. I have a meeting this morning that I have to go to so can't take them. Any other time today I could do. So my nanny has to take them. They love going to the dentist as I have made it into this big adventure for them (as I hate it!). Dd was so disappointed. She sort of looked over it when I was leaving. I will feel awful for the rest of the day as I never miss anything important to them.Sad I also feel worse as I know the almost 3 month travelling hiatus ends in a few days time.

Right, I need happy chat to cheer me up!
