Continuing on from here

Saw some havainas for £15 at the weekend so purchased these.

I originally want the silver grey but for that price, am happy with blue!

Really like these ones

Measurements are on the website Fedup - click on Size Guide.

Both of those dresses are stunning Novice such gorgeous vibrant colours, if you could would you go for those same colours? I'm not enabling honestly

strikethrough fail

Lovely feet Shop

Yay for Linus and mara meeting up in Europe! And yes please to photos.
Love the shoes Shop.
Snowed under with work at the moment so this was just a quick dip in. I hope to look at links later.

I saw these today and thought about MNV.

Very amusing Linus! Hope you and mara have a lovely time tonight (you may have already started, plenty of I hope!)

betty I'm really struggling with jackets lately! I wanted to get something a bit more "fun" than a blazer and I love the look of those Marant-like padded/embellished collarless ones that are in the shops atm. Anyway, tried one on today and I looked hilarious! I definitely need something fitted with a collar, and that means blazers . The J crew one is probably just for work though.

novice both dresses are to die for and I would have either of them in a flash, they are out of my price range so please let me shop vicariously through you You would look great in them.

Lib thanks so much for the holiday info, that's really helpful. We are not beachy people tbh, so if we end up leaving that idea I won't mind too much.

What about biker style Blair? I find it a good shape on me, bit of structure and a collar but not as formal as a blazer.

Shoes look great Shop.

Wish I was joining Mara and Linus for dinner!

Blair if you fancy Bali you don't have to do beach. Ubud in the centre of the island is amazing and has fabulous hotels / spas.

Lib thanks! All we've done so far is check rough flight prices, and we've noticed that adding either Bali (too far south?) or Japan (too far north?) adds loads on to the cost so unfortunately I don't think we can do it.
Will look out for nice bikers, that's a good idea thanks :)

Don't worry, Liberty, I am here for two more months!

Have fun, Mara and Linus.

Love the shoes, Shop.

My new sandals arrived today, wore them straight away, always a good sign. It's love.

No fashion news, but an odd/slightly bitchy convo at work that made me laugh.

Collegue "when I started x described you as 'filthy rich' "
Me "I object to being called 'filthy' "

Some people are odd

Think my legs need to go away until June

Evening, im so tired today yesterday had a quick trip to Wales looking for a waterfall for him to photograph. It was amazing!
Tonight i joined slimming world i need the weekly weigh in . Now im looking for some shirts/tops similar to a character wears in once upon a time. Pinned a load of pictures last night of the character

Shop found the measurements - obviously didn't look properly!

So, have ordered the uniqlo dress and may accidentally have added a few more items to the order. Will link what I keep.

Lib did you say you'd also been to Borneo? We are thinking of going next year so would love to pick your brains.

Fab sandals Cranagh

Haha Dry perfect comeback! People are indeed odd. Someone at my work told another colleague/friend that the reason I get so many parcels delivered is because DH (DP at the time) earns loads more than me and I'm spending his money. So not true! Jealous cow, she's more senior than me! Just

For you Dry! The problem with that attitude is that people think that it's okay to try and pay the woman less because she has a rich husband. I actually get this all the time!

Right, back to fashion. Does anyone remember last years great cream/Ivory jacket hunt? Okay we start again for 2015! I love this Navy M&S jacket. It's been a wardrobe staple for the last few months and I have it in black as well. I love the shape, fit and most importantly length as it's perfect for wearing over dresses. I want a cream/Ivory version. Has anyone seen anything like it? Don't care if it's low end or high end!

Fedup no we haven't been to Borneo yet!! We are planning to move to Australia though and are planning a big SE Asia trip on the way and Borneo is on the list.

Lovely sandals Cranagh

Great comeback Dry. People will always gossip. DH and I used to get loads of comments about the amount we used to travel pre DD - we went long haul at least once a year and several shorter trips but we didn't do other things like eating out much - everyone has different financial priorities.

Love those bags Linus hope you and Mara have a great night!
Perfect day for those sandals cranagh they are lovely.
A mum on the sr told me the only difference between me and her was that I married a rich man, cheeky mare. I can't stand jealous people besides which its not even true.
Wore my whistles ecru skinnys today which have shrunk badly in the wash (no stretch) and almost made me sick when I bent down after lunch (tmi) On the ebay pile they go.

novice I really need a light coloured blazer probably more light tan, so will be very interested in what you find.

On the train back home.

Had a lovely evening with the gorgeous mara. Great hair as usual, the stunning Birkin, lots of bling and flares with heels.

Best MNV Europe MU ever!

Sounds great Linus

Just getting the chauffeur to polish the RR to take me to work

First day of GCSEs.....good luck Fedup and Muddling....... Very too? laid back here.

How rude can some people be. Last year a work colleague asked how much our holiday cost - in front of other people. I blustered around obvious I didn't want to say, she snapped, 'well a ball park figure will do'! .

Mara and Linus so pleased you had a lovely evening. I have serious bag envy.

Ootd is 7/8 jacquard trousers, pinkish s/s jumper both next, dune ponyskin slipper shoes and fenn wright Manson aubergine stripe jacket.

I am going into work today to do some temping so better get my skates on.

Good luck to MNV offspring doing exams.

Yes Dry far too laid back here too and he says he's tired! Well that's because he was still messing about at 11pm instead of going to bed early like I gently suggested.......and breathe!
