Am gutted that I missed out on tickets to Faithless at SW4 in the summer. Got the priority link for booking and then forgot to go in at 9am on the day. Sold out now :(

Gosh yes the dress is beautiful but the contouring!

The lighting is very flattering in these pics for a change too rather than harsh, most look beautiful.

Will do sr then have a better look.

Fedupnagging · 23/02/2015 08:30

Novice Flowers

Have just been looking at the oscars fashions and totally agree with Sienna - her makeup looks very harsh.

I loved:
Cate Blanchett
Rosamund Pike
Mrs Cumberbatch
Lupita Nyong
Emma Stone - very unusual colour

Lots of pale/nude which some pulled off better than others. Jennifer Lopez look too beige but Viola Davies rocked hers.

Am struggling to link on the iPad otherwise I would have linked all the pics!

Have been off MNV for the last few days - was unwell so v grumpy and no fashion mojo whatsoever. Am off the catch up.

Not keen

Too much beige

Simple but effective

Strange

libertychick · 23/02/2015 09:05

Yipee Oscar links to browse on the train.

novice hope you are OK.

shop how annoying re Faithless tickets. TBH I have pretty much given up on trying to buy tickets to gigs etc. Everything sells out so fast. I will be able to post biker tomorrow. It's packaged up but I am out all day today.

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 09:17

Rosamund Pike looks amazing.

Not really convinced on pale pink for Gywnnie.

MarshaBrady · 23/02/2015 09:18

yes love all those loves Fedup, esp Emma Stone.

LinusDKD · 23/02/2015 09:23

Morning!

So I tried on three pairs of dungarees in H&M today

these I was expecting to like the best but they didn't really suit me.

LinusDKD · 23/02/2015 09:26

these were lovely IRL, I especially loved the rose gold hardware.

But as they are more of an off-white they might be hard to wear with my mostly cool toned tees.

Very tempted though, they were styled in store with a white and blue breton, much better than this picture.

I can't seem to find a picture of the last pair, which was a blue denim distressed pair. I actually liked that one as well but still not convinced I don't look like an overgrown toddler. Grin

Off to look at some Oscar dresses!

shopafrolic · 23/02/2015 09:50

Linus I need pics - I can't picture you in dungarees at all Hmm

OP posts:
LinusDKD · 23/02/2015 09:57

Love:

Meryl Streep (classy)
Dakota Johnson (such a gorgeous dress)
Anna Wintour (very safe but it just suits her perfectly)
Sophie Hunter (that's how to dress a bump Keira!)
Oprah (classy)

Not so much:

Octavia Spencer (gorgeous dress, gorgeous colour but her hair and make-up were too plain)
Sienna Miller (sack the make-up artist)
Lupita (She is so beautiful but I really don't like this dress)
Gwyneth (great colour on her but lose the giant flower)
Gaga (I actually quite like the dress but the giant red gloves have to go)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 10:23

Morning all.

novice hope all is well and you're off to catch your flight.

Well done on the blazer mara and good news re holiday!

One you must be getting so excited.

Ujjayi fingers crossed for the complaints. Hope the jeans are good.

Re Oscars, I liked the red dresses best - Dakota Johnson and Rosamund Pike, lovely.

Hope you feel better now fedup!

I am feeling mildly stressed, had a lovely weekend doing lots of wedding stuff, but it's really starting to hit me now.
And on that note I have a question - how would one go about determining their size in a backless bra like this? I'm 30F, should I go for DD as that's what I'd be under the "M&S method"?

Karbea · 23/02/2015 11:21

Morning! Dogs walked, dhl arranged for tomorrow, been to Bicester and back and the boots are mine. Love, love, love them. Now need to catch the train for lunch! Will catch up properly later!

BrandyAlexander · 23/02/2015 12:14

Quick message as taking off! Results were goodThanks

libertychick · 23/02/2015 12:36

Good news novice!

Excellent work karbea.

Have been trying not to say anything as I don't want to offend amber or anyone else who might like them but

DUNGAREES!!!!!!! on adult women????? Actually, scratch that, on anyone over the age of 8. NO, NO, NO and NO again.

I really needed to get that off my chest Grin

shopafrolic · 23/02/2015 12:40

High fives Liberty - with you all the way Grin
Jacket will be with you before 1 tomorrow x

Cranagh · 23/02/2015 12:42

Woohoo for the boots, Karbea!

Good news, Novice.

Grin Liberty, dungarees wouldn't be my cup of tea either but I guess we are not gamines!

Love Sienna Miller's dress but agree on the makeup.

Still in Lululemon leggings after run this am. Think I need another pair.

bettykt · 23/02/2015 13:22

Great news and phew Novice

Sounds like a very productive morning Karbea glad the boots were worth going back for.

Liberty Grin I love a rant

Been wfh so no time to check the Oscar links yet

Can't help on the bra front Blair as I've never worn one.

QueenCardigan · 23/02/2015 13:29

blair no idea about sizing but can't imagine it could do a lot for an f cup.
karbea very productive morning and glad that you love them.
novice glad you're better
I think dungarees can look cool on the right person.
I wasn't that impressed with the Oscar dresses. I did like rosamund pike though.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/02/2015 14:06

I've ordered the bra in 3 sizes, from asos so I can return for free. QueenC it's for my wedding dress, but apparently you can wear 25 times so it would be good if it also made my boobs look all right! We shall see!

Ujjayi · 23/02/2015 14:13

Just popping in quickly to say :

Novice - thrilled for you with results Smile

Karbea - yay for securing the IM boots. Desperately trying not to be jealous Grin

Blair - please report back on backless bra. I'm working in a backless wedding dress at the moment but worried it won't sell because of bra issues. So would be great to be able to recommend options to brides.

Still waiting for delivery. I have complained to TS & the courier company. Waiting for a response.

Ujjayi · 23/02/2015 14:14

Doh! I am working ON a backless dress...not IN! That would be a little dramatic for a monday in february GrinGrin
