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

Evening,

One well done you, top of the class! Flowers

Linus thanks again for the dress. Still haven't tried the jeans, have period cramps and bloated stomach so don't think I can do them justice for a couple of days. You and Shop both look great in them. The whole length thing is annoying me though as in what length to get them altered to as whichever way you go it is restricting. Was going to go for a match to my highest heels which are a Rupert Sanderson brown sandal with very small platform & white Casadei cage sandals I bought last summer and haven't worn yet. Both are 10cm though and really high for me, thinking it may be better to get adjusted to fit 8cm heels which am more comfortable in. Did you try with your Colt boots? Am wondering whether they could work for day, maybe too clumpy.

Dry meant to say the other day yy to the lunch thing . Am hugely behind the times but just started house of cards series 1 so finally know who your style crush Claire Underwood is.

LinusDKD · 09/03/2015 21:02

Colts really didn't work for me mara, they looked too clumpy.

My Manolos are 8 cm and that's the highest that heels are comfortable for me so I chose them as the shoes to have my flares altered to.

Yes, well done one!

Talking about studying, I had another nightmare last night about not having studied for some important exams so I wasn't allowed to graduate and I am panicking as I have no clue what the exams are about and I am due to sit them in an hour.

It's a recurrent dream ever since I graduated ages ago. Hmm I always wake up in a panic until I remember I do actually have a degree and all is well.

libertychick · 09/03/2015 21:03

Marsha you should definitely do a try on session at All Saints (just round the corner from Liberty Wink). You would look great in that dress.

Well done One. I have just seen these leopard ankle boots and wondered if they would work for you.

Linus thank you so much, how lovely of you Flowers

The Clarks shoes arrived today, I won't link for fear of upsetting a number of you again Grin. They are going back. The toe is way too round and make my feet look really big.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 21:05

Hmm santa have pinned it now here.

mara hope you feel better. Totally agree on the length of flares being tricky. Mine are fixed now and I worry they're too short.

My favourite game of thrones male has to be Khal Drogo (with makeup/without makeup).

One for santa!

OneLittleLady · 09/03/2015 21:12

Oh the spoilers I could post about game of thrones i have read all the books that are currently out but I won't, I won't Wink

I quite like those lib on the considering list

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 21:13

Linus that sounds horrible. I used to have a similar one after I graduated, that I would realise I hadn't gone to any maths lectures for over a year and was burying my head in the sand about it. In reality I dropped the maths part of my degree after 2 years, so that's where it comes from, but I did attend lectures!

Those leopard skater boots are so One!

Shame about the shoes Lib, clarks shoes can be funny in ways like that. Guess it's because they actually try to be comfortable.

Fedupnagging · 09/03/2015 21:14

Oh bugger, have just lost a long post.

To summarise:
Love the shirt Dry so will probably order.

Really love the All Saints dress Marsha - hope you order it.

Blair how are you feeling today? Gorgeous colour blazer.

One well done on your result.

Undecided90 · 09/03/2015 21:16

I love that dress Marsha.

Hello to everyone. I am an occasional lurker. Smile

justasecond · 09/03/2015 21:19

I get that dream a lot Linus it is always about my finals at uni and so vivid even though it was almost 18 years ago. I wonder is it that I am really anxious about something without realising??
Started period today so knackered and bloated . DD was trying at bedtime as usual. Glad to have a bit of quiet finally.

shopafrolic · 09/03/2015 21:22

Hello Undecided glad you've become a poster instead Smile Are you on Pin?
Marsha I love that dress - it was a holiday contender. My first time ordering from All Saints too - hoping I'll be pleased
Linus thanks x

shopafrolic · 09/03/2015 21:23

Oh and queenqueenie I'll beat it in mind but am idealy after black. What's the sizing like?

justasecond · 09/03/2015 21:23

Hello Undecided!
Yes that is a lovely dress Marsha you should try it.

shopafrolic · 09/03/2015 21:23

BEAR

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 21:24

Hello Undecided :)

fedup thanks, I feel a bit better today, which doesn't make sense because last night the pain kept me awake. Back in the office tomorrow so I'll have time to get probiotics.

AmberNectarine · 09/03/2015 21:27

I have that dream all the time except for me it's A Levels for some reason. But don't worry Freud thinks it's reassuring.

santamarianovella · 09/03/2015 21:27

Beautiful blair, and the necklace is gorgeous too Wink,

Never fancied the drogo, too much eye makeup for my taste,

one dh read all the books too, and he always spoils it.

linus I have that dream too, when I asked my grandmother about it,she claims that every dream has a meaning,she smacked me on the head and said it means I have to pray more.

bettykt · 09/03/2015 21:33

Hello Undecided de-lurk and come and join us, tell about your style.

Well done One and lovely to see Sleep on here.

I love that dress Marsha All Saints is not really somewhere I've looked at before but I may take a look and see what else is good on their website

Mara hope the bloated feeling subsides over the next few days. Flowers

Just bought these Massimo Dutti sandals

was looking at these Toast ones that Lib linked but initially couldn't decide between the 2. I quite fancied a pair of Swedish Hasbeens but a lot of them are too high as I just want to wear them casually on the sr. I opted for the MD ones as they are prettier and imo a bit less clunky than the Toast ones.

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 21:36

So that code for something Shop?

Fedup glad you like it.

linus I have the same dream! Get to my finals and I haven't read the books Shock ....must be traumatised still!

Santa agree Jamie is getting better and nicer too.
Blair I was a bit of a Khal fan too
Mara you'll love HoC, v intelligent. Clare's wardrobe is fab.

Brigton fans....which station is in the centre, there are 2? DD follows bloggers chip off the old block and has become obsessed about Brigton so close to where we live.....not . Am planning a trip. Will need shop/cafe tips in May.

Drywhiteplease · 09/03/2015 21:36

Oh and welcome Undecided I'm afraid I'm not v focused on fashion.......

bettykt · 09/03/2015 21:38

duh Toast ones should have bought them as they are called betty Grin

LinusDKD · 09/03/2015 21:39

So I'm not the only one, phew. It's really unsettling as it really is a reminder of how I was as a student i.e. leaving everything until the last minute and therefore being completely underprepared.

Your grandmother sounds like a character santa!

Hello undecided!

justa I have my periods too atm.

Oooh I had forgotten about Khal Drogo! Thanks for reminding me blair! Grin

Night night!

libertychick · 09/03/2015 21:40

Lovely sandals Betty. MD have some really nice shoes.

Welcome undecided Smile

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 21:40

The main one is just Brighton Dry, the other one is London Road which is not as central. Guess she's into the youtubers?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 09/03/2015 21:40

You're so welcome Linus Grin

bettykt · 09/03/2015 21:41

Grin Dry I didn't like the first one, too much facial hair going on, didn't like the make up one but liked the other 2 if that makes sense. Don't watch GoT and haven't psyched myself up yet for HOC series 3.
