It's March. Spring is in the air. We are looking forward to losing layers and baring ankles.

This is the volume of the hen do and wedding. Will queen manage to get shop to wear penis boppers Grin. And will we all shed a tear when the beautiful blair gets married.

Following on from here

You and me both fedup. I'm off on hols on Friday late afternoon and I have no time between now and then! DH is packing for DD. I feel a late night on Thurs coming up. There is a Zara v close to where we are staying so I may just pack the bare mininum and top up locally if needed.

Just on phone outside preschool so no links but just been for v quick shop to return flares. Tried on the shoes I like in clarks, loved the style but the colour was too pale for me. It looked darker online. But I did love some others which I may get. Also tried on a lovely jacket in m&s although need to try size down too. Also found a lovely top in Coast. Perfect emerald colour but may look shit on my boobs as its halter neck. Didn't have my size but may see if I can find it in London. So excited about shopping on Saturday ( and seeing you guys of course). Returning the flares has given me a bit more money to play with and I figured if I change my mind I can always buy them again next month.

I'm just dropping in too, haven't had much time to post recently and not much has been going on style/fashion wise. Loving all the chat though Shop's holiday wardrobe and Blair's upcoming nuptials, sorry to hear your poorly though Blair Sad Marsha's kitchen, that's a good name for a restaurant!

Went to Westfield on Friday and was hoping to buy some s/s clothes but didn't see much at all that took my fancy. Cos was disappointing, I just ended up buying a few tanks from Uniqlo. I wasn't in a trying on mood so cba trying on flares in TS/Gap although I'm still hankering after a pair.

I'm still wearing my winter wardrobe and am getting bored with it all but I'm trying to hold out like they do in France. I've been in France in late spring/summer and the women are still dressed as if it's winter. Never cast a clout till May is out Grin.................. let's see how long it takes for me to bake. Skinnies, coat and pistols again for me. No ankle baring today.

OneLittleLady · 09/03/2015 15:41

Finally got my presentation marks back and.....60%! way way better than I thought I was going to do and as it turns out, the highest mark in the class to boot Grin

Today I'm wearing a jacquard print burgundy dress with sweetheart neckline, long black cardigan, black fleece lined tights and Star Wars Vans. Was also carrying a large burgundy handbag and while out had my black and purple hobbs coat and flamingo print scarf on. Black leather gloves and wool hat with cat ears as standard

santamarianovella · 09/03/2015 16:03

Better hold on to your Winter stuff betty, winter is far from over ,at least where I am, weather will get colder next week,but its nice to wear something non wintery, im wearing flats today,

I'm really Envy, of your London shopping trip queen,

dry I've missed poldark last night, went to dinner with my father, but the new version has a nice hot guy in it, the older one was just Shock ,and I love your homage to Claire underwood outfit,

sleep drop by more often, we miss you around here,

one that's great! And as always great outfit! Smile

I read a really silly article about vogue style editor, and her sick and tasteless Instagram photo , of a homeless women in Paris,why would anyone do such a thing? , did she find the Holmless person reading vogue amusing in a sort of clash of two world kinda of way? ? She should have offered to helped her instead of rediculing her without her permission! Sorry for rant but that really made my blood boil, some people should never use social media, as it really shows just how stupid they are Angry

OneLittleLady · 09/03/2015 16:13

Thanks Santa

as for that style editor, how needlessly cruel of her. How dare she ridicule someone less fortunate than her, how utterly thoughtless, insensitive and totally mean. Very tasteless

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 16:28

SHOP have you seen this thought of you.

shopafrolic · 09/03/2015 17:16

Love that Dry but no 12.....

shopafrolic · 09/03/2015 17:19

Santa v tasteless - agreed :(
linus the Madewell playsuit is fab - but I should have ordered a large for the slouch factor. It fits, but is a little tight across the bust so I am going to exchange it and hope they still have stock Thanks Beautiful fabric.

QueenQueenie · 09/03/2015 18:00

I love a good jumpsuit! I have that me and em one and it's lovely - the fabric is drapey and expensive feeling - long in the legs too! They have a 12 in the blue which is a good navy not 'peacock' at all. Would that be any good?

OneLittleLady · 09/03/2015 18:32

I bet you look fab in the playsuit Shop all legs Envy

it's been raining most of the day here after starting out bright but chilly. Silly error to go out in my vans as they are canvas so my poor feet were cold even though I had fleece lined tights on

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 18:57

Have been looking at the latest Me and Em brochure that arrived today. I think I love Clare Hornby. Just love everything in it. May have seen the light. Could buy the lot, certainly a style I love.

And, Shop, I haven't recovered from Poldark but am venting it all on Poldark thread, won't bore you lot although with DH away the Poldark/GoT John Snow combo is really getting too much Grin have always had a soft spot for a dark, brooder

LinusDKD · 09/03/2015 18:58

I thought you'd like it shop! Hope you can order an L!

santa I think social media really turns some people into idiots! If that Vogue journalist had asked that lady's permission to publish her picture, I wouldn't have minded but this is just wrong on so many levels.

mara how are you getting on with the Marrakesh? I need to find a pair of boots I can wear them with as I want to wear them during the day as well and not just for going out.

Today I wore my new Jimmies again with a Uniqlo heattech tee and one of my JCrew Merino Tippi's and I ditched the bikers in favour of sockless ballerina flats in the afternoon as it was 18 degrees here.

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 18:59

the dvine Jon Snow/Kit Harrington ........

LinusDKD · 09/03/2015 19:02

Oh and I packed all your boxes dry, one, shop, mara and lib so now I just need to find the time to drop them off at the post office. Smile

lib I also added the same Ralph Lauren breton you probably got from shop but as it's cream and a size too big for me, I thought you might like it.

one I added the Me&Em maxi, a Me&Em tank top and a J Crew bathing suit to yours. If you don't want them, feel free to pass them on. You too lib!

LinusDKD · 09/03/2015 19:05

I like your taste in men dry!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 19:13

Yum dry. Yes I agree the Me+Em aesthetic is very you. It has changed over the last couple of years, became more casual and I haven't bought anything from them lately.

Today was my last day working in london for a while, yay. I made the most of it and bought this necklace from River Island (very happy now that I don't need to buy this one that I've had my eye on for months). And tried on this blazer in Massimo Dutti which was lovely but I think I'll wait for it to go into the sale.

Sleep thanks for the probiotic advice. Where can I buy tablets like that - would Holland and Barrett have them? :)

Well done on the presentation One!

OneLittleLady · 09/03/2015 19:14

oh, thank you so much linus Thanks you are FAB

My hair has gone wild with it being damp today, i don't know what's going to happen to it in the american humidity!

He doesn't do it for me at all. Too much hair and too much facial hair. He's all yours dry.
Well done one.
Cold and wet again here. And there was me about to sort out my spring wardrobe. Don't think I'll bother yet.

Saw this and thought of QueenC (pm btw)... lovely summer dress.

There is a random man in my house talking about bikes with DP (he's buying DP's motorbike which went up for sale this afternoon?!) and I'm wearing pyjamas, slippers and my new necklace Blush

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 19:54

Ooooh exciting linus thanks so much.

MarshaBrady · 09/03/2015 20:02

Just having a browse on All Saints. I think I might really like this silk dress. I haven't ordered from there before and it's a different vibe for me.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 20:34

I can really see you in that Marsha :)

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 20:35

fedup I recently bought this shirt am wearing it now. Love it. Fitted. Bit of Lycra so comfy. Not too bulky under jumpers. Love the scallop collar. Lots of positive comments. Great price.

santamarianovella · 09/03/2015 20:41

I agree with queen never found him all that, but jaime lannister is just yummy, he gets better with age, I kinda will miss tywin, Sad
