Well done, Liberty, bet you are glad to have that over.

Hope your DD sleeps tonight, QueenC. That top is a beautiful colour.

We go mid July so three months, Shop. So let me know if you are in London for a haircut before then!

Love the blingy bling, Novice.

Realised I spent too much in the last few weeks so going to try not to spend for a while until the summer sales.

OOTD old coral Goat cardigan, Zara broderie top, pale grey jeans, last year's grey Gigis.

OneLittleLady · 21/04/2015 18:47

evening all

I slept for almost 12 hours last night after going to bed really early and still managed to sleep right through my alarm

OOTD has again been the cotton primark trousers, a white sleevless david bowie vest top with red and blue lighting strike on his eye and red cotton/cashmere cardigan with black and blue lo top double tongue converse. threw on a red, blue and white leopard print scarf as well this morning as it was a little nippy first thing before warming up beautifully

well done Lib Wine Wine Wine

hope DD has a better night tonight QueenC

already planning for half term, I'll hopefully be in london if any london ladies are around for a coffee in that time, that'd be fab fab fab (its end of may FYI)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/04/2015 20:35

Sounds good One, I'd love to meet you finally!

Lib well done, when do you find out how you did?

My OOTD was black skinny trousers and cream pussy bow blouse. I know I'll feel the opposite when September comes around but so sick of winter dressing, it's lovely to just put on 2 or 3 things and a trench coat.

novice the thought of the sun shining on your sparkly bling made me smile, such a lovely thing.

BrandyAlexander · 21/04/2015 20:43

Hurrah for Lib extra Wine for you.

Mara love those earrings. Am getting ideas for what dh should get me next so will drop a hint.Smile And good luck with the move, I was so stressed last year by ours but it all went well.

Hope you're feeling well One.

Speaking of houses, chez Novice is like Piccadilly Circus this week. We have 3 guests staying for the next 10 days. And in addition to the usual housekeeper, cleaner and gardener milling round the house we had John Lewis round installing carpets in the 3 guest bedrooms where are visitors staying. We have the builders in from tomorrow, the vision and sound engineers are in again, the hedge man will be cutting the hedge all week, the garden irrigation man is recommissioning the system, the tree surgeon is sorting out the trees with the preservation orders and the interior designer and upholsterers came round too. Oh and dh is out of the country all week.Hmm

shopafrolic · 21/04/2015 20:43

Blair are loving being a Mrs? :)

Drywhiteplease · 21/04/2015 20:44

QueenC sorry I missed your bad night, hope you get to bed early with no interruptions.
liberty so glad you're done and celebrating now!

BrandyAlexander · 21/04/2015 20:47

Blair are you still smiling at your engagement ring? I do!Blush I usually send my ring off to Tiffany's for a clean in the weeks leading up to our wedding anniversary and it's like I have got it new again. Makes me all giddy and happy at the engagement and wedding memories.Smile

Karbea · 21/04/2015 20:51

fedup yes it's arrived today, I've not had a chance to try any of it on yet, but the orange is very, very bright practically luminous!

novice I love my house being busy like that.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/04/2015 20:55

shop yes! although I am still a Ms and haven't changed my surname :) but it does feel nice, not really different, but I love having 2 rings on my finger, just feels right!

novice yes, I love it so much, especially now it has a companion! We bought our rings from the same place, and they gave me a free sonic cleaning machine and cleaned my e-ring at the time. Then they delivered our rings to the wrong place so I got another machine. So I should be able to clean my ring myself for a few years, but dropping yours off at Tiffany's must feel wonderful :)

Karbea here is a pic for you!

MarshaBrady · 21/04/2015 20:55

Shop yes get on it! Catch up with me.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/04/2015 20:57

Ooh I would hate a busy house. total introvert Blush It'll be worth it though novice, just a few more days to get through. Shame your DH is away nice for him! how is he coping lately? Is he going to get some time to relax after this week?

MarshaBrady · 21/04/2015 21:01

Lovely pic Blair!

I was sensible and stopped drinking and came home Marsha. Completely shattered now. I'll get results in early June Blair.

I am up for coffee/lunch one. Just pm your dates.

Cranagh would love to catch up with you too before you relocate.

AmberNectarine · 21/04/2015 21:27

So, the Carvela leopard heels are keepers, I think. Hard to tell as my feet were blistered from the run but they seem comfy and the heel height is civilised. Also picked up this Coast dress from JL which I wasn't sure about as they only had a 6 petite, but actually it fits well. Am away this weekend with DH so will wear then.

Karbea · 21/04/2015 21:28

blair absolutely stunning, very classically beautiful! thank you for posting it.

novice one of the nice things about Boodles is every time it pass one they'll clean it for me. I love it when it's all shiny.
Dh said he'd love to go away for the whole time our building work is going on.

QueenCardigan · 21/04/2015 21:43

Ooh amber where are you going? I'd love a romantic dirty weekend away.
lib yay!!! Can you relax now or are there anymore coming up?
one sadly I won't be able to join you. Such a shame im not in London anymore as would have been fairly close to some of you.
novice sounds horrendous!
blair you just need to have a baby and add an eternity ring to the other two Wink
I don't think my ring's been cleaned for years, I really should get it done. I also need to get my wedding ring bashed back into shape as last year it got caught in a swing and yanked it out of shape.

justasecond · 21/04/2015 22:02

Aw Blair that is such a beautiful dress and you have the perfect figure for it. Thanks for sharing!
Well done for getting through it Lib bet you did better than you think.
Hope you have a better night tonight Queenc and I love the colour of your Boden top.
Marsha glad the new job is working out.

Drywhiteplease · 21/04/2015 22:03

Amber v tempted now

BrandyAlexander · 21/04/2015 22:11

I loved those shoes Amber. That dress doesn't look anything special in first picture but the model looks good in it.

I finally thought of something I want to buy... oversized watch with double black leather straps. Anyone who has seen anything like that do let me know!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/04/2015 22:17

Thanks Karbea and justa! I loved wearing it though my shoulders ached so much when I took it off, and I have a long scab on one shoulder where the sequins rubbed, but it was worth it!

QueenC Shock Grin

Great dress Amber, your DH will love it I'm sure Wink

AmberNectarine · 21/04/2015 22:28

Oh a whole 8 miles away QueenC - just staying in a nice 5* in central. Will do karaoke, dinner and dancing in honour of DH's birthday last week- that is his idea of a great night out!

Have made mistake of laying on the sofa to watch some TV and now my legs no longer work - clearly leg day plus long run is not a recipe for pliable joints! I think it will take me 20 mins to get up the stairs!

AmberNectarine · 21/04/2015 22:29

Also, I had a baby 5.5y ago and still waiting on that eternity ring - don't believe the hype blair!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/04/2015 22:46

I just watched a bit of one born every minute earlier. Hmm I think it's safe to say there aren't going to be any babies in the Waldorf household too soon, eternity ring or not!

Weekend away in town sounds lovely, almost more of a treat as there's less travel involved.

bettykt · 21/04/2015 23:05

I love that dress Amber when I saw Coast thought that's not very you but it's fab.

Lib'yeaay exams over, fingers crossed you've done really well

Novice wow what a busy household, but it's all worth it, in the end.

QueenC hope you and did have a good night's sleep.

Blair even I can't watch OBEM Grin

Lots of Voguettes on the move, I love moving, so exciting.

LinusDKD · 22/04/2015 07:38

Morning!

Well done lib but a bummer you have to wait so long for the results.

queenc how was the night?

I stopped watching programmes OBEM the moment we were TTC and even now I have DC I can't really watch them in case something goes wrong.

So no MNV baby yet then blair?

Lovely day here but a bit cold so I am wearing my Jimmies, Brooks Brothers miracle shirt, coatigan and Tod's. Very preppy but I like to go back to my roots every now and then Wink

Oh betty I had my coatigan sent to DPIL's address so I haven't seen it yet.

Funnily enough I was talking to DSis who lives on the other side of the world and she has that coatigan as well but in a different colour.
