I'm screaming at the TV for them to hurry up. Dh has been on a cycle all day and now is glued to the telly Hmm. And yes, he's screaming lots Grin
amber karaoke at this time of night Shock? You must be in for the long haul.

QueenCardigan · 21/03/2015 18:55

In fact he's screaming so loud that he's scaring the 3yo Grin

Wine for shop

Hi Laydeez. Happy Saturday and all that. Dropped in to share my haul from a trip to Cos this morning which I am v pleased with. Bought the cotton jumper in both colourways - it's lovely, like a smart t shirt. All I need now is for it to be a little more Spring like and a lot less bloody freezing cold.

cotton jumpers

silk dress

navy skirt

Awks · 21/03/2015 19:15

I LOVE that navy skirt :)

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 19:19

I never find ANYTHING in Cos. Clearly not the shop for dramatic gamines.

QueenQueenie · 21/03/2015 19:20

It's very nice fabric Awks, a lot more expensive looking than it was...

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 19:22

QueenQ love the silk dress - v interesting contrast between collar and hem.
QueenC rugby done, Prosecco and vodka cocktails, open fire and The Voice here.

Lovely buys QueenQ, especially the skirt.

I've been shouting at the rugby too (but for the other side Blush, yay Lib and Cranagh)

Dd came home today for holidays so we will be having a nice dinner in.

LinusDKD · 21/03/2015 19:28

Evening!

shop I saw your wedding picture ages ago and I did like your hair then. But you do suit short hair as well, unlike me.

Great Cos haul queenqueenie! I can find nice things at Cos but I do have to look carefully and usually size down.

stokey homemade gin sounds like heaven to me. We once made sloe gin but I'm not sure it was a success.

No rugby in the linus household but I am on the bubbles after some homemade hamburgers and chips.

We're debating watching a film so will decide after watching the trailer of The Imitation Game and the new Hunger Games film.

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 20:02

Did you see my post about your tee Linus?

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2015 20:04

Is that the skirt lib has in green? I nearly bought it before I realise how dreadful it would be on me! Really like it though!

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 20:07

Yeah congrats to Ireland and the Irish Voguettes but that was an awesome last performance from England - forgot how much I missed rugby thighs :)

Double rugby whammy here. Plenty of shouting. All calm now after 2 glasses of Rioja ....I could have cheered for either side thinks french kit is so cool

QueenCardigan · 21/03/2015 20:15

Anyone else feeling pissed yet Grin. Or is it just me?

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 20:20

Nope. I'll join you on that one QueenC Grin

I have that skirt in green Queenie but it looks a lot more flared on me than in the picture. I think I need to try styling it with something longer. I also have the stripey version of the jumper.

Poor DH has been trying to watch bits of rugby all day and is only just catching up on England now. I won't let him know how it pans out Confused

Ujjayi · 21/03/2015 20:42

Watched the second of Marsha's movie recommendations today "Leaving" with Kristen Scott Thomas. Absolutely fantastic.

Congrats to all celebrating rugby wins.

No rugby here. We're having thai takeaway & watching The Voice (massive Ricky Wilson crush - Indie boys are my thing Wink)

Enjoy your evenings Voguettes Grin

shopafrolic · 21/03/2015 21:05

Loved Leaving. So good.
Is the MNV book club in session? Looks for Dry and Cranagh. I need holiday book recommendations please for my Kindle. Anything good (light) recently?

OP posts:
Drywhiteplease · 21/03/2015 21:17

Can't find "Leaving" on Netflix Confused
Have you read "The light between oceans"? My reading has been effected by Netflix and box sets this year Sad need to resolve this . But Shop I'm reading that fashion book you recommended. Have you read Chris Evans books? Easy/light quite fun and gossipy too.

Ujjayi · 21/03/2015 21:27

Dry - I had to download it from Apple TV.

Shop I've just started reading Girl On A Train which so far seems promising.

Drywhiteplease · 21/03/2015 21:32

Ujj looks good, just downloaded.
Shop did you read "The Husband's secret"?
