won't be wearing anything special as DH away all weekend so just child entertaining activities on the cards!
Got my summer clothes down from the loft so going to have a good sort once DC in bed so that when/if it gets warm I'm good to go. Will also make me think about what I need rather than just buying random stuff I like.
And here is some random stuff I like in the newly delivered Hush booklet:
black top
dress

shopafrolic · 08/05/2015 15:18

I liked that top too MyVegas and the dress

love the glittery shoes maz love a bit of glitter on shoes

new boots seem to be softening up slowly but nicely. Got a load of dry washing to put away and a drawer full of recently discovered tees to sort out. really don't feel like it though. I'm also waiting for a delivery of my new midi controller, I thought it would have been here by now

mazj4cks · 08/05/2015 15:59

I can safely say I like ALOT of things on that Hush website!! I've seen quite a few shorts and dresses on there...incl that one you linked shop and that whole ensemble with that stripe tee Smile

shopafrolic · 08/05/2015 16:03

Get yourself on their mailing list Maz and wait for discount emails. There is usually a Mumsnet code knocking about too. Search the site for Hush codes (there are lots of retail discounts available to Mnetters so always worth a check

Just casting my vote now - red Shop Grin

Your links led me to have a further look at the Office site and I ordered these leopard beauties

A few other shoes I have my eye on:
snake print superstars - love these
Keen on these yellow ones but the weather needs to improve first.

Saw these and thought of Dry

I also randomly love mules but would never wear them as too high.

Apologies for my shoe heavy post.

I liked my OOTD though it is pretty simple: black mother sweatshirt, cropped and frayed mini flares and white superstars.

LinusDKD · 08/05/2015 16:56

I really like that Hush one shop, my kind of colours.

blair I've got a sore throat as well since this morning. I have been sucking on throat lozenges all day.

one I hope the AB's kick in soon.

shopafrolic · 08/05/2015 17:09

I saw those leopard ones Bernice they looked fab - and the black ones were super comfy.......Was also tempted by those Superstars a while back but am trying not to duplicate......
Great sweatshirt - need to investigate that site.... would love to see how the cropped and frayed flares look.

Love the shoe links bernice esp the leopard superstars and lace ups. I think I need to get to Office to have a try on.
Nothing exciting planned for the weekend. Dc need new shoes. I have braced myself.

DM had a clear out recently and unearthed my old school uniform coat bought when I was 12. It is still too big!! she always bought stuff at least 3/4 sizes too big (bought dd1 a dress age 2-3 when we were still in hospital). The coat is actually quite nice, navy trench, below the knee, from Harrods so good quality. It is a bit big around the shoulders though. I am wondering whether to spend £12 getting it cleaned or throw it in the charity bag.

AmberNectarine · 08/05/2015 18:35

QueenC yes, still blogging sporadically!

Blair it's this style but in a stone and black tribally type pattern.

justasecond · 08/05/2015 18:37

Forgot to link topshop utility trousers They arrived the other day. I really like them but they are a smidge too short, just about ankle grazer length without a turn up. I wish they did them in tall. Do we think they would look ok without a turn up?

Fedupnagging · 08/05/2015 18:37

Oooo gorgeous shoes Mazjaks.

Shop I don't work anymore, I would have replied! Love the red.

Queen how is your head now?

Tonight we have friends over - spent the day slaving over a hot stove making various curries, bhajees etc. Think I will wear my new maxi dress here. Not had it taken up yet but can get away with the length indoors. Shoes will be silver wedges.

Have a fun evening everyone.

Karbea · 08/05/2015 20:23

queen I quite like orange, but it's not a colour i would have wore BHoC, so I'm wondering if it's a bit emperor's new clothes. I checked my HoC swatch notes and it's a one star, good for jumpers etc, so the cardi I was wearing "should" have been perfect Hmm

maz I love sparkly and ott shoes. Infact I love anything sparkly, I'm a magpie.

dry be really careful how you wash and iron that top I had a very similar one in silk and never got the bits to lay properly after it was washed Sad

shop I love black tie, but we've not been to one in ages either. Funnily enough I think the last one was at dh president club trip in Monte Carlo.
shop the holiday was a nice break, but the hotel wasn't really us, so wouldn't go back.

Do hush clothes come up as big as their pjs which are huge.

Finally have you seen alexander wang at tk maxx?

QueenCardigan · 08/05/2015 20:31

fedup head is fine but soooo tired. Waiting for ocado delivery and then going to bed!
karbea you could always pm a photo if you want an objective opinion?

Karbea · 08/05/2015 20:37

queen yes I might do that, it's in the wash now, so will if I remember when it's back in my wardrobe.
Although had my hair done lighter today so probably mucked the whole colours thing up anyway!
I'm so tired too, I can't handle dh getting up so early for work Grin

Has anyone got the Adidas super colour superstar trainers?

MyVegasBaby · 08/05/2015 20:38

Love that top Dry really lovely colour.
Picked up the Next jumpsuit and it's fab, the first jumpsuit I've tried that actually really flattering. Will be great dressed up or casual on holiday or if it ever stops raining/gets warm here!
Catching up with my trash tv on planner as DH not here, with a nice glass of pink and some nibbles!

shopafrolic · 08/05/2015 20:42

Sounds blissful MyVegas

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 08/05/2015 21:14

Karbea i saw someone wearing the yellow superstars and they looked AMAZING. I can't justify it though as I'm not a trainer lover.

Matches just sent me the £100 code... arghh!

Thanks Amber, love the shape of that dress.

Linus hope your sore throat doesn't last as long as mine has!

Drywhiteplease · 08/05/2015 21:49

Bernice nice but I'm not that dramatic! Have short legs so anything that goes too high is out.
Karbea thanks for the warning, will take care when I wash...perhaps iron through a cloth?

Just back from a work drinks .....prosecco at 4.30!!! Proud of myself because I drank loads of water and prosecco recon my head should be ok tomorrow it's taken this long for me to learn

Drywhiteplease · 08/05/2015 21:50

"Reckon"

Karbea · 08/05/2015 22:04

blair I can't see any in my size anyway Shock

Has anyone seem a nice light tan blazers? I left mine on the plane and after dh shouted at pretty much everyone I decided not to pursue it Hmm it was only from banana republic and very old but very useful.

Karbea · 08/05/2015 22:08

I meant beige rather than light tan.

Fedupnagging · 08/05/2015 23:38

Oh bugger, think I may have had too much wine! Got to take ds3 to school tomorrow for 9am-hope we don't forget to wake up!

Anyway, I luffs you all Grin
