Sounds like I need to look at tippis to stay in the gang... Will do tmr!

We've been out for dinner with friends at a local italian. I wore my orange rockstuds as I'd not worn them yet, teamed them with white acne jeans, coz off white vest, flowery multi zara blazer and a bright pink clutch (old and cheap). Was probably a bit holidayey, but sod it, after a day grubby hosing down the garden felt like being white and bright!
I think I'm getting a cold, darn planes.

one how are you feeling now?

shopafrolic · 10/05/2015 00:58

Blair can you PM me how much you want for it? Is there a shelf life on it?

Uh oh!! Not good to be tipsy on prosecco and then have a 'look' on asos!! 1 order done! Grin at least I can blame the alcohol BlushGrin

Morning!
Still struggling to keep up, but doing my best to keep tabs on it all!
Hope those out enjoyed their nights and are not too hungover today and those who had a night in had a relax.
I started to sort mine and the DC summer clothes out last night, being ruthless and going to get rid of things I know I won't wear. Will finish off tonight.
I too have been on ASOS (too easy to order on there) but whilst on a cuppa sat in bed as opposed to the Prosecco!
Have ordered this bag to hopefully go with the light blue bit on these that I got a while back to wear to a friends wedding later this month Alice heels
and these that I've had saved for ages but having watching to see if they discount them. They have discounted every other colour so I've given up waiting! gazelles.
Really should get up but everyone is just enjoying chilling in bed so making the most it!
Enjoy your Sunday's

Cranagh the mj bag looks a lot like my Fossil one.

Cranagh · 10/05/2015 08:45

Dry, yes, it does, I have it in grey already and it is my most used bag. Need another colour!

Nice bag and shoes, Vegas.

Drywhiteplease · 10/05/2015 09:05

Such a useful style

mazj4cks · 10/05/2015 09:22

Morning ladies! I actually feel ok (surprising as I consumed a lot of prosecco!)
That blue clutch is lovely vegas

Karbea · 10/05/2015 09:31

vegas I love that bag what a pretty colour.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Topazandpearl · 10/05/2015 09:46

Good morning everyone! Either Natalie Massenet or someone on her team is following this thread. Big article in ST Style about how Net a Porter are launching an app to allow buyers to chat about fashion, compare notes, make purchases etc.

Stokey · 10/05/2015 10:26

Morning all, very hungover here. We went to a Hawaiian restaurant which I had never tried before but was amazing, very Japanese in style. Stupidly hit the saki at the end of the evening, then dancing and sambucca ... Ow.

I love southeast Asia Blair but have never been at that time of year. I think it would be OK, after the monsoon which is in the summer but may be a little on the cool side.
My favourite time is probably Jan- April. Last time we went to Malaysia it was May and a bit too hot ( and I am a total sun worshipper).

I have to take the DC to a May fair today, whereas I want to crawl into bed and hide. Will probably wear stripey J- Crew maxi skirt and tee.

OneLittleLady · 10/05/2015 11:34

morning all

still in pjs here, Darth Vader ones to be precise, feeling tired and lazy but i do have to get dressed eventually as hopefully, i'm expecting a visitor. It's been a very stressful week in a lot of ways and I feel pretty wiped out from it if I'm honest. I can see this coming week being the same as well so trying to brace myself for that

mazj4cks · 10/05/2015 11:35

My mum is from the Philippines and her best friend owns a tiny diving resort there and I know they tend to come back to the UK between June-October because it's quieter for them, not sure if that's to do with weather. I can contact her and ask what the weathers like around then etc if you like blairw Smile

Karbea · 10/05/2015 13:43

stokey the best thing about my trip to Hawaii was the Japanese breakfasts! yummy!!!

Drywhiteplease · 10/05/2015 13:57

I have my legs out.........Boden vintage wash denim skirt, ASOS navy and white striped cotton pull over with red heart elbow patches, Stan Smiths.......just warm enough Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 10/05/2015 15:33

Hi all. shop have pm'ed :)

stokey and maz thanks! We're doing a tour, China/Hong Kong/Macau and thought that it would be nice to have a few days chilling in a beachy place at the end. If not, we might do another city instead. The reason we want to do it this autumn is because we have other holiday plans for next year and don't want it to be too long after the wedding.
Anything you can find out would be helpful maz thank you! What did you order from asos?

I would love to go to Hawaii!

I've got a shopping treat day tomorrow, I'm on a work course in the morning so I've taken the afternoon off to see the dermatologist and check out some of my Pins in the flesh. Can't wait.

Lovely buys vegas, hopefully the bag will match the Alice heels, which I love!

LinusDKD · 10/05/2015 15:49

Afternoon!

I wore my cobalt Gigis for the first time today! I really love my Gigis all three pairs of them Grin

My legs are as white as a ghost so I did wear the M&S jeggings and a Next top from the older girls section.

It was £15 and a bit Isabel Marant-esque so I couldn't resist. I got the 15 year old size (16 year old was sold out) and it's perfect.

Will try and find a link.

What glorious weather!

LinusDKD · 10/05/2015 15:59

blouse

QueenCardigan · 10/05/2015 16:36

I nearly bought that blouse linus but after trying the girls gap one I realised that those sleeves don't suit me.

Had a fab night. Just what I needed especially as I could sit and chill as my friends kids were stropping about! Lovely night of prosecco and watching old music videos!

Just been choosing carpet and paint samples this afternoon for the living room as the walls are finally ready to paint. Such a scary decision though.

Will be fantasy shopping this evening.

OneLittleLady · 10/05/2015 16:45

QueenC I have chosen and bought the paint for my front room to be decorated. it's going to be a two lovely shades of green which will go with the furniture and everything else in the room like the framed prints and the curtains and cushions I already have. just have to wait until there's a good weekend over the summer that my Dbro can make time to do it in for me as it's not something i can do myself. I do want to change the light shade and other little bits but they can wait to be bought until closer to the time it's going to be done. i managed to get the paint while there was an offer on it so it came in under budget which was nice

still not feeling great but my temperature has come down and i don't look so grey and washed out which is good. pain in my kidneys is reducing so i'm hopeful that the ABs are doing their job and i wont have to go back for any more

Karbea · 10/05/2015 17:37

linus how is it around your chest area? I've tried a few young girls clothes on and although the fit, they hang weirdly as there are no darts.

LinusDKD · 10/05/2015 18:53

karbea it fits fine on the chest but, then again, I am only a B cup.

shopafrolic · 10/05/2015 19:11

Evening all. What a lovely day. Morning spent in the garden, afternoon at the forest looking at the bluebells and eating ice cream. A few glasses of prosecco and the Good Wife tonight.
Maz what did you win last night?
