Ankles are out, flares are on and the hunt for the perfect shoe, breton, blazer, dress etc continues.
Continuing on from here

[Grin] Fed up, hope you're not too wretched this morning.

Welcome back Karbea. I think all of Hush comes up big. I always take XS there and would be 8-10 in real life. I think you're more petite than me so you may struggle.

Out for dinner for a friend's birthday in hipster central (Dalston) tonight. I'm not sure what to wear, maybe my green midi again or flares, but they are high waisted and tight so better on a night when I'm not eating!

Morning ladies!

what a week just catching up with the posts this is my first chance to sit and relax.

found my ideal grey handbag(s) but not sure its even made in this colour anymore but I really like the Mulberry Daria hobo and the drawstring tote as well in mouse grey seen pictures of them on the purseforum, checked Mulberry website and its in a variety of colours except that one and cant find the drawstring at all

Morning. How's the head fedup?
I'm so looking forward to a child free night! Just need to get my are into gear and get the washing and housework done and a run before I go.

Muddling not sure where you're based but a call to Bicester to see if they have one might be worth a shot
Morning all. DH is at his laptop working this does not bode well for a relaxing weekend

Great idea shop Bicester isn't that far from me as well.

So I need advice I bought a pair of flat pumps from Debenhams and they are just a bit tight so have researched how to stretch them and will try later on (they are a cheapish pair so I'm not too bothered if they are ruined) but the soles are just so hard they just don't bend when I walk.

I feel like i am just slapping my feet down flat with every step, and I think that's hurting my feet more than the slight tightness in the sizing. Any advice on making the soles more supple or are all flats like this?

Slight ache in the head department this morning but nothing that a coffee (currently in hand) and a dog walk won't cure.

A child free night is just what you need Queen so enjoy. Are you going away?

Muddling I love the daria hobo - often look longingly at them when I pass them in JL. may also stroke one lovingly

I still haven't bought a bucket bag, my favourite is this one but am dithering as am also after a Natasha and can't really get both

love the Natasha bag fedup when I last went to Bicester DH was in Fossil looking at watches and I wandered round looking at the bags they have quite a collection in there, and I never realised they made bags until then!

Yes I'm away fedup/. Expect a prosecco fuelled headache in the morning!
muddling if they hurt that much id return them. If you're after a cheap pair try next or sainsburys as I found comfortable ones there but they didn't last sadly.

I tried to return them but they said i had worn them outside so no refund.

Last minute shopping trip on today's agenda to get dh a suit for tonight!! We've known about this charity ball since feb!! So we're off to Bicester!

Im trying to get through to the mulberry shop in Bicester!!

We should do a Bicester meet!

Anyone fancy this!

Am a recent convert to fossil bags - good quality and reasonable prices.

Last time I went to Biscester on a Saturday it was a nightmare so good luck maz.

Have a lovely time Queen still hopes for Sunday am links

After listening to the phone message properly they only have a telephine service 10-6 week days so i will have to wait

I'll have to see if I can get internet at my friends fefup. If not they'll be Sunday evening links instead. I love my fantasy shopping.
muddling if you stretch them a bit how about trying an insole?

Done!! Managed to get parked fine, in Hugo boss, suit bought and quick look around for a black tie and back to the car!! If we had more time I could have looked round for me but the ball starts at 6 tonight, we've not had lunch and live about an hour away from here!

Is it windy with everyone else? It makes it feel so cold. I've decided that I need a lightweight cotton type scarf. Preferably cobalt but definitely a block colour. Any ideas where from? I've looked at netaporter, John Lewis, hobbs, jaegar, dressing room, atterly rd, Cos, other stories, accesorise, zara and j crew. Where else should I look?

Fedup hope you're ok.

I'm feeling snug......started on the prosecco at 4.30 yesterday with work mates. Determined not to have a bad head today could have not drunk prosecco so I drank loads of water and had a cuppa before going to bed............no headache

it's cold here QueenC and it looks like it will rain at some point this afternoon. I'm indoors working on breaking my boots in again, they are coming along but still wont be able to wear them outdoors for a while yet.

OOTD is a black shawl collar full skirted dress. feel like I should be twirling a lot in it

What about this Kettlewell stole in Royal blue or Iris QueenC?

KLAXON - Tippi jumpers on sale at J Crew - with an extra 20% off with thankme.

Will catch up properly later

QueenC I've had my eye on this for ages:

Jigsaw scarf

Love the colour.

QUeenC I have a solid cobalt scarf that Linus sent to me that I don't seem to be wearing - I'm beginning to think scarves are not really me...... would you like to try it? this one

That's a fab colour.

It's nice here, dh and I are power washing the patio.

shop I agree scarves are tricky for some CPs, they are so drapey and not very dramatic. You could try a skinny scarf, might be more you? I wouldn't wear a pashmina either, I wouldn't feel right with the fringy bits.

Bernice thank you! I think I might need to get a few of those, I wear the one I have lots.

I would feel smug too Dry, that's a result!

We've had a shit day for various reasons, but have just bought a new TV which DH is setting up. Not my idea but it does look nice. Our old one was 7 years old, is that a good enough reason to replace or not?
