Honestly they are really fab, they are sharp and edgy, just the sort of the thing that suits you,

But I draw the line at those kanye yeezus trainers dont you dare jump the line and get sucked into those

libertychick · 14/02/2015 22:39

Radio silence definitely does not mean bad purchase. It is really hard to keep up at times. I was nodding at the screen thinking ' perfect' when I saw shop's trainers and just forgot to say so at the time - happens a lot! Or often I will 'like' a pin link and then not say anything here.

santamarianovella · 14/02/2015 22:46

TBH, they are not that bad, there is no denial that kanye has some sort of vision, it is interesting, like you dont want to look but then you look ,and look more and find something interesting, Im really fascinated by him sometimes, how did he become this influential,

Off to google Kanye trainers Grin

I think he is a prize arsehole. But the trainers are OK. I wouldn't buy them just because they are by him.

santamarianovella · 14/02/2015 22:58

I wouldn't buy them too lib but his collab has a lot of autumnal colours for you and karbea ,there, your dilemma is solved you two just need to dress in Kanye's designs Grin

I liked the Valentines card on Instagram (did What post it?) that said "I love you more than Kanye loves Kanye."

I can't believe kayne is so bloomin' influential, i think he's a prize dick weasel. All i can picture is him rapping to himself in front of his bedroom mirror at home every evening Grin kayne certainly loves and respects kayne but doesn't seem to have much respect for anyone else

libertychick · 14/02/2015 23:19

I did notice the autumn theme - do you think he's had his colours done? Grin

Ujjayi · 14/02/2015 23:22

Kanye is a knob. And he is as much a "designer" as Victoria Beckham is. His NYFW show was essentially "contour" & that takes a very specific degree level education & training to design & produce. Producing okay-ish music does not a contour designer make.

OneLittleLady · 15/02/2015 00:30

Still up and browsing pinterest, pinning as I go. Sometimes those visual reminders of beautiful things can make the long nights seem a bit brighter. OneCat has been for a fuss which was nice as she's really not a fussy kind of cat unless she wants to be, she's very stand offish tbh

ujjayi I agree, Kanye is not a designer, I bet VB has more input into her designs than he does into 'his' not that I think either of them care about my opinion on what they do Grin

Morning MNVers, hope you all had great nights.

We had a sick child and Japanese take out, black cod yum, and I fell asleep watching Gone Girl (not the most romantic film in retrospect!)

Love the Addidas Superstars Shop - I think I need some.

No fashion news but am loving the talk of your favourite body parts. I looked on here for the first time in a week yesterday morning as have been trying to focus and not MN too much, and you inspired me to wear a mini skirt - I think my legs are my best feature. I mentioned it to DH who told me I have a great bum, which I would have said was my worst part so that was good to hear. Anyway big up to all the MNVers thinking positiviely about the female shape.

I've got an interview at 10 tomorrow morning then lunch with the MD of my old company at 12.30. I'm struggling to think of something I can wear that would work for both. I may go for this black and white Reiss dress or a DvF wrap.

Fedupnagging · 15/02/2015 08:39

Nice to hear from you Stokey. Good luck tomorrow - lovely dress; with heels and a jacket it would work for both.

One I am going to Australia with a friend to see an old school friend. Excited doesn't cover it!!

I quite like those yeezus trainers although very unlikely to wear a pair. I really didn't like the clothes KW designed though and thought Kim K looked terrible in one of his outfits at the fashion show.

We ended up going out for a drink last night - 9pm, in pj's and decided had enough of sobbing on the sofa so off we went! I took inspiration from Ujjayi and wore tan leather boots over jeans instead of the usual ankle boots.

BrandyAlexander · 15/02/2015 08:43

That's a gorgeous dress Stokey. Good luck tomorrow!

MarshaBrady · 15/02/2015 08:45

Morning. Had no idea about the Kanye stuff but it's well done by the looks of it, not by him then. Makes me more appreciative of real designers.

Drywhiteplease · 15/02/2015 08:48

Just looked at Doesmybumlook40 and she's endorsed my purchase of these rather pleased. If she could approve of these I'd be chuffed? MNV have you seen any other pointy pony hair animal flats around?

MarshaBrady · 15/02/2015 08:48

Fedup that is exciting, whereabouts are you going?

Stokey best of luck for tomorrow, lovely dress.

Fedupnagging · 15/02/2015 09:05

My earlier post should read 'slobbing' on the sofa - I didn't spend the evening crying Grin.

Am going to Perth Marsha. Clotheswise, I understand everyone is very laid back?

MarshaBrady · 15/02/2015 09:09

Oh I missed the sobbing part Grin. Yes but take some dresses for evening dos. Sounds fabulous.

I also feel I should mention I don't check outfits with dh, don't want you all to think I can't dress myself! Just do the which shoe thing.

Shop they're fab.

QueenCardigan · 15/02/2015 09:15

shop they're very you and you'll look fab in them.
fedip how exciting!
ujjayi glad to hear that you're in training for meet up.
stokey good luck.

Talking of meet up, who can make it? It's saturday 14 March. I need to start looking at somewhere to book so a vague ideally numbers would be great. Anyone in London or who has reserached places before then pleas give me some ideas. blair do you have any ideas where you'd like to go?

No time of links this morning as we're off to the aquarium. We have 3 v tired children after a long day of travel yesterday so today could be a disaster.

Fedupnagging · 15/02/2015 09:36

I know you are all buying flared jeans at the moment but what do you think to wide legged trousers? I read yesterday that the wide leg is the trouser for spring/summer.

I really like these trousers especially the colour. Being a short arse, I wouldn't wear them so long they drag on the ground; I think they'd be really lovely to travel in too.

Shop I completely missed the point of your post last night - fab trainers and you'd look great in them with your long legs. Also, sometimes I forget to comment on a link or completely miss it. Am confident enough now on this thread to say if I don't like something so no comment doesn't necessarily mean no one likes it.

santamarianovella · 15/02/2015 10:04

fedup have a great time, and I like these trousers, you should give them a try,

stokey good luck

Yes, I agree ,seeing Kanye's and VB stuff makes me more appreciative of other designers,its one thing to have enough money to start a business and have connection that help you, of course the overall result would look great, but I much more admire people who start from nothing and build their career,

And I really wish that he stops bringing his kid to fashion shows, I've just seen her pics in DM and its really heartbreaking, the kid looks tired, bored. badly done kanye,badly done

Topazandpearl · 15/02/2015 10:13

Train booked for meet up on 14 March!
