Whatever you like for Spring, high st or designer.

queen thank you for this, boden also sent me a 20% off voucher, so it seems to make sense.
Do you think their shoes come up big, my feet seem to be shrinking I think I'm more 35/35.5 rather than 36 at the mo!

Karbea · 18/04/2015 08:39

Do you like this pineapple necklace?

QueenCardigan · 18/04/2015 08:49

That's cute.

No idea about boden shoes as never bought them. Is the 20% off code personal to you or can it be shared? Just noticed the ravello top has new colours and it's become a firm favourite of mine!

Karbea · 18/04/2015 08:53

It says it can be used only once, so just for me I guess.

QueenCardigan · 18/04/2015 09:03

Ah, never mind. There'll be another along soon Smile

Karbea · 18/04/2015 09:06

Has anyone seen a nice orange belt?

OneLittleLady · 18/04/2015 09:07

morning ladies

just put on my new cropped trousers. they are great, lovely material (to say they are from primark) good fit on the waist and hips, nice deep black colour. Only thing is, they aren't cropped on me, no, they are actual normal length and a perfect fit length wise for full length trousers for me . i told you all i had teeny tiny legs!!! Blush

Karbea · 18/04/2015 09:21

Ok I've orders LoADS of stuff from boden, thank you queen I've included some of the suggestions. I think I'm going to make do with my m&s sandals, and any other shoes I have for this holiday, I'll probably buy some others before I go away injuly.

I do want a nice holiday necklace though, probably orange or gold ( I like the pineapple, but can't see how big the actual fruit is :/) or something else.
And I think I'd like an orange belt although on my style day she said not to wear belts...

shopafrolic · 18/04/2015 10:08

Karbea honestly, I got really worried about my holiday wardrobe (particularly as we were meeting DH's colleagues and it was a 5* resort) but the reality was it was VERY casual. And no-one will know you so don't put the pressure on yourself (wish I'd heeded that advice pre break).
It is MrShop's birthday today :) Sun is shining and we are off out to dinner tonight to our favourite restaurant with friends. Will probably wear this HL dress - should I wear red shoes or black shoes or nude Floretes??

mazjacks · 18/04/2015 10:34

I like the black shoes shop. I agree with shop, karbea, I always overthink my holiday wear and end up completely over packing!! To grand Cayman I packed 5 pairs of sandals- 1 heeled and ended up only wearing 2! I always find dresses are good because you can dress up or down and then shorts/throw on dresses etc for daytime, kaftans/beach cover ups for pool/beach. And then a neutral colour pair of heels and flats and your good to go. hth x

shopafrolic · 18/04/2015 10:57

Karbea GAP has 60% off dresses today.....

BrandyAlexander · 18/04/2015 11:15

i so love that dress. Definitely the black shoes Shop. very sexy. Wink

Karbea have you looked at Accessorize for jewelry? I love to raid there for holiday and casual stuff. was in there last week and though I didn't buy anything they gave some great stuff.

QueenC how is your dd?

the weather is gorgeous but it's chilly! have got my gap skinnies from yesterday on again with blue and white primark breton top under a baby blue jcrew cashmere knit. MrNovice is off tomorrow for a week so thought I would unwrap some new underwearWink Unusually for me, the colour of my underwear doesn't match my outerwear. Stop the clocks!!!

shopafrolic · 18/04/2015 11:45

Good God Novice are you feeling ok?
Goldsign Lures again today still washing Boden pink cashmere sweater and Madwel Leopard print flats. Loving the sun but yes it's chilly.

shopafrolic · 18/04/2015 11:47

Black shoes it is :)

Karbea · 18/04/2015 12:24

Dh is sorting through his wardrobes and has found my white acne jeans. I'm so happy!

Shop defo the black shoes. I'm not buying anymore until the boden delivery arrives.

Drywhiteplease · 18/04/2015 12:25

Novice you're really letting things slip, no bling and now no matching undies Shock .......Wink

Karbea i bought a white black cover up last year luckily not the MO one shop found for me completely ruined by sun cream. Agree buy high st for hols.
shop you're going to look hot tonight, I love that dress.

And......THE SUN IS HERE Smile [jumping in the air face] have started "operation summer bod" basically fake tan and painting toes may wear a VEST top Shock when back from gym

AmberNectarine · 18/04/2015 13:02

Good dress shop! I've only worn mine twice, must pull it out more often - I do struggle with footwear with it though. I need leopard print heels.

shopafrolic · 18/04/2015 13:28

This will be my first time finally wearing it Amber Blush

Karbea · 18/04/2015 13:54

I think I might get this pineapple, it looks like a better size.

Drywhiteplease · 18/04/2015 15:10

Ootd, not ground breaking but feeling summery.......Linus's Jimmies (feel skinny, not bf) new TS White chambray Demi tucked Shop, orange Gigis yippee

So, where I live people are straight talking. I'm not originally from here but I talk a lot to anyone who listens. There's a lady in my Sat gym class who's had A LOT of work done lips aren't good so I took a deep breath and gambled:

Me "excuse me, I really hope you don't mind my asking , but have you had Botox?" could have been disastrous I know, but you "know" me
Botox "yes"
Me "well, I had some a few weeks ago here, what do you think?"
Botox "you need fillers" see what I mean, no messing, all the info I needed
Had a lovely chat about fillers, Botox, lips never boob jobs NEVER her career involving international travel etc. I have a Botox friend Grin and the number of her beautician........not sure about fillers though Hmm

santamarianovella · 18/04/2015 15:13

Woohoo! karbea your almost done!!

Many happy returns to mrshop, hope you all have a lovely day,

I went shopping today,and only came back with these marant embroidered jeans, It looks totally rubbish on the model,but they are very flattering IRL,i tried them on with a lot stuff I have, looked great with a plain oversized shirt, ditto my marant red tweed jacket, also planing to wear them with black sweatshirt, for off duty. its a good one! Love it when an item ticks all the requirements ,
Also tried on some gianvito Rossi, heels, I lusted after them for awhile, but then I remembered I have a valid mytheresa code somewhere, its €75 cheaper,not huge savings, but every little bit helps nonetheless Wink, Rossi heels

BrandyAlexander · 18/04/2015 15:16

God you're right, it's all going downhill!Grin The bling is back. But I am matching metals which makes me itch. Right hand is sapphire and tanzanite ring that dpils got me with different gemstone in pure gold bracelet that dh had made me for me. Left had is my hermes kelly watch in stainless steel and wedding stuff in platinum. I am a matches, this is just wroooong! However, to be clear, I am still anal! It is still a [http://pinterest.com/pin/380202393519108023/ [matching bra and knickers set]] just not whisper matching the clothes. If I ever tell you that my underwear doesn't match, please drop everything, scream down the motorway, collect Shop on the way and stage an intervention.Grin

Amber leopard print heels would go so well with that dress. Shop, you will have to post a FB picture or whatsapp me!

Karbea · 18/04/2015 15:24

dry does the rest of her face look ok?

Ootd... Caviat that I'm slobbing at home waiting fir our builder to arrive. Purple Barry Manilow tshirt, very old zara skinnies, just sheepskin boot slippers. Cartier watch silver, gold ball earrings, underwear shocking and not in a good way!

muddlingalongquitenicely · 18/04/2015 15:38

After a morning of car browsing with DH i am now sitting in the garden in my new pink and turquoise sun dress with turquoise shrug and a glass of chambord and processco.

LinusDKD · 18/04/2015 15:44
