For sunshine, Stans and pretty prints. Pale denim or white broderie.

Whatever you like for Spring, high st or designer.

Bernice have never been "diagnosed" but suspect I'd be autumn.... Similar colouring to Juianne Moore who is my style crush, sadly that's all we have in common Sad.....I do wear loads of non autumn colours though

libertychick · 08/04/2015 18:31

Lovely nails Blair. I am loving the wedding week updates Smile

Hello fedup glad to hear hols are going well.

Bernice I will definitely not shop for 3 months. I am thinking that in July i might buy a couple of things (like one dress and a bag) and then stop again until October. I've only got my autumn toned clothes and a small number of non autumn items in my wardrobe and I am finding it much simpler to get dressed with fewer clothes and I don't feel I am lacking in choice. I must count the items actually!

QueenCardigan · 08/04/2015 19:54

bernice I haven't given a huge amount of thought to culottes but I'd probably go with black or navy. They will probably look rubbish on though!

Drywhiteplease · 08/04/2015 21:11

QueenC culottes, just don't buy leather culottes, WIT looked horrendous sorry WIT in hers, no hope for ordinary mortals Sad Grin

Drywhiteplease · 08/04/2015 21:13

Botox update.....went back. Needed more Shock first lot made absolutely no difference Confused.....will keep you posted.

santamarianovella · 08/04/2015 21:51

I'm overly excited about this, have preordered it from iTunes, its released on the 10th! I always thought that raf Simons is hottie, Wink ,

I could never pull off the culottes,

dry where did you need it more?

libertychick · 08/04/2015 22:07

That looks good Santa.

Stokey · 09/04/2015 08:15

How annoying Dry hope it works this time.

No fashion news, am stressing about Dd2s party on Saturday. I thought 12 children were coming, sent out invitations a month ago, and then a Mum just replied last night. I'd ordered 12 animal bracelets and animal balloons for party bags, gah. So think Dd1 will have to forego, or will do run to pound shop.

At least I've got 20 books so plenty of those. And a rain cloud on Saturday morning again Sad

Off to the Olympic park with the kids today so will be in boyfriends and a tee again.

Drywhiteplease · 09/04/2015 09:06

Santa between brows and along brow line.

Taking DD shopping today. I'll be checking out Hollister mum please don't use your flashlight Pink, Superdry, Urban Outfitters, Top Shop............will squeeze a few of my shops in although I'm not supposed to be spending Hmm
Another lovely day. Really don't want to wear black or denim today.......will see what I can find.

libertychick · 09/04/2015 09:59

So annoying isn't it Stokey?

Have fun Dry - does DD enjoy shopping? It was a bit stressful with my younger sister at that age - tears in the changing room if things didn't fit. Thankfully she's more at ease with herself now.

Working and studying at home today, taking a long lunch break though and going to a nice pub for lunch with DH and DD. OOTD is indigo 7FAM skinnies, this Uniqlo top (which is lovely - highly recommend, so soft and lovely shape), Jigsaw biker style cardi and not wearing shoes yet but will probably go for Elia B leopard print loafers

BlairWaldorfIsGettingMarried · 09/04/2015 10:10

Hi all :)

Dry hope you have a lovely girly day.

I came into the office this morning (my last day) to find it decorated with hearts, balloons, ribbons on the stairs and a homemade good luck banner! I have lovely colleagues/friends (the 5 people I sit with are all coming to the wedding, some to the day and some to the evening. I'm so lucky as it's meant we've all been able to get excited together and no one was left out!)

Stokey how annoying about the late RSVP, hope you get the party bags sorted. What time is the party? The weather is looking ok from lunchtime, but I'm looking the other side of London to you :)

Great outfit Lib, very autumnal! That top does look nice, Uniqlo is fab for basics.

BlairWaldorfIsGettingMarried · 09/04/2015 10:18

Oh and I had a secret pinboard with all my wedding ideas on, and a lot of the things I've bought/used. If anyone is interested, I've just tidied it up (removed pics of venue/my name!) and made it public as I'm not going to use it anymore.

It's here :)

maradesbois · 09/04/2015 10:31

Hello,

Back home in my sunny kitchen reading Madame Figaro while ds is happily lost in his playmobil.

Santa looking forward to the dior film too. The Valentino one a few years ago was good as well.

Blair the final countdown! Fx for good weather. Lovely manicure. Would have liked the full ring shot too. Thinking of getting my engagement ring remounted in yellow gold. I don't mind mixing metals but used to always go for white gold jewellery although now more & more drawn to yellow, particularly these 2 wishlist items:

Fred Force 10 bracelet. Love turquoise and gold for summer.

Hermès Constance medium sized in black box with ghw.

Interesting what Novice said about our tastes changing/evolving every few years. Think this is so true.

Dry once they've topped it up it will work and they'll know how much you need for next time. Will be fine. Enjoy your day with dd. Grin at torch in Hollister!

Stokey good luck with the party, animal theme sounds good.

OneLittleLady · 09/04/2015 11:10

hello all!

safely back in England in one piece after a long night flight. found it harder travelling back than i did going so am now forcing myself to stay awake so i don't mess up my sleep pattern anymore than it already is.

Loving the wedding talk blair can't believe it's come round so quickly.

No fashion news BUT I did buy a pair of UGGS in america and my god are they comfortable. They are low, one button ones in a dark grey, nothing flashy or fancy but I wish I'd bought some years ago. Comfy, warm and don' hurt my feet like so many of the shoes I have do. I think I might have been converted despite years of resistance due to the rep they have because of the people you always saw in them!!!

BlairWaldorfIsGettingMarried · 09/04/2015 11:46

Ok pics Grin ring shot and my slightly rude office decorations. Hope it works as they don't show up in preview.

Welcome back One, good one on the Uggs, I still don't own any!

mara that turquoise bracelet is so so nice. I can really see you in yellow gold. I think most people suit both to an extent though (gasp, what would HoC say!)

Drywhiteplease · 09/04/2015 13:36

Hitting a low in Primark......,

Karbea · 09/04/2015 13:51

Haha, it's a guilty pleasure!

I need to get some t shirts do you think uniqlo is best?

blair ow sweet of your colleagues! your nails and ring are beautiful.

Off to get my girly bits waxed #tmi

maradesbois · 09/04/2015 14:01

Just read this, good article about handbags and brand strategies on BOF.

QueenCardigan · 09/04/2015 15:31

Hi all, gorgeous sunshine again. We're members at the gym over the holidays and went swimming today and went in the outdoor pool. A bit chilly but so nice none the less.

mara love that turquoise bracelet. I adore turquoise for summer. I have a links of London sweetie bracelet with turquoise stones that's I adore.
blair fab ring shot, fab decorations. So so exciting. I need to finish the outfit pin board tonight. Aagghh.
dry have fun shopping.

Karbea · 09/04/2015 15:34

Oh I miss the outside pool at my old gym, I often used to go before work, it was so relaxing used to feel like a mini holiday!

libertychick · 09/04/2015 16:19

Your workmates seem lovely Blair. I love how everyone around you is getting wedding fever!

Lovely bracelet Mara and very elegant bag. Interesting article! I may reference it in my exam if I get a question on costing and pricing strategies!

Get out of Primark Dry. Surely being the DM gets you the rights to veto (or at least time limit) one shop Smile

Welcome back one - you have a vibe of chilled out post holiday glow about you Smile

BlairWaldorfIsGettingMarried · 09/04/2015 17:44

I love it lib, literally everyone I speak to says they have bought a new outfit and their SO has a new suit or shoes! I'm so happy everyone is excited. My workmates are great, we went out for lunch (new restaurant near work, the same place we met at the last MU, was lovely! And my boss paid!) and they bought me a balloon, as well as giving me a card with a JL voucher in it. So I'm chuffed :)

Can't wait to see the outfit pin board QueenC. I think I'll be updating on here up until tomorrow night, can't promise anything on Saturday Wink

MarshaBrady · 09/04/2015 19:27

So exciting Blair!

QueenC bet the outfits are great. We'll look fantastic together.

Mara I love those links

Dry did you survive?

One welcome back

Lovely weather, so nice to have this. We got the pool out in the garden, had to top up with warm water as was a bit fresh!

Santa that looks really good.

Novice true!

Karbea I need ballet flats too. I should really diverge from the usual ones I get.
