Continuing on from here

Fab links Dry! Love the DVF top.

Lib I am on for the 18th, thanks :)

Ok - for the 18th I have the following:

Dry, Shop, Sleep, Blair, One, Amber, QueenC, Novice, Fedup and me (10)

No: Linus, Betty, Cranagh

Maybe: Marsha, Topaz

Anyone else - all welcome , PM me or post here if you want to be included

So time to be dictatorial!! I'll book a central London venue this Friday afternoon using the numbers I have then. There won't be a problem adding on extra if needed I'm sure and there are always a few who can't make it at the last minute. It will be a lunch time gathering. I'll pick the venue (see really, really bossy!!!) but I haven't time for a debate on it. Will probably go with a place that has worked previously - will ensure it's budget friendly and has bubbles available!! If anyone would like to do something different then let me know and I will happily hand over the organiser reins

Sounds awesome lib

Brilliant you're a star Lib sounds perfect. Will be on holiday dates asap

I mean sorting them out.

gah lost a post!

Thank you for the jacket links! I am sure the lurkers thank you too.

What month is the meet?

I'm afraid I won't be able to make the mu (again) but with good reason as it will probably be Eid that day.

Bernice I am 5ft 7 not that tall but have long legs which means the trousers are mid calf when turned up but just about ankle grazer when not. I have bought the next size up to see if they are better on the length but have not had a chance to try on yet. The black without rips would be good too as they are a good shape and fit.

The jackets were lovely, I'd really like one darker though :(

Karbea 18th July for meet up.

Justa sorry it's not a good date for you - we will meet eventually!!

liberty yippee.......will book. My ticket tomorrow. You're a star, thank you

Don't mess with The Lib

Really hope I get to make the next one

Haven't had chance to check out your links yet Dry am still in bed contemplating getting up.

Oh no Novice where the jackets all sold out by the time you saw them?

Morning!

Love that Fendi dress you linked yesterday dry

lib sounds like you have everything under control re MU.

It'll be the first day of our holidays so I'll definitely drink a glass of bubbles in your honour.

OOTD is white skinnies, breton and Tod's. I feel and look a bit too like a cliché so I'll probably change something later.

Sorry, but I can't make the MU - like Linus I'll be on holiday. Maybe we can synchronise watches Linus and drink a toast at the same time?!

Gorgeous links last night Dry, especially love the Erdem dress.

Am currently watching cbeebies with a 3yo - crikey, those colours are so bright my eyes are hurting!

Ootd was going to be white jeans and a Breton but now worried I'll be a walking cliche

at Fedup's sore eyes! I am really sorry, I thought the 18th worked for you

OOTD, working from home and sun is shining so wearing Me & Em dress. Will add M&S sandals when I pop out later.

Got dressed at 530 so I'm wearing a stripped MK blue and white shirt (I had to get this out of the throw away pile as I've lots of clothes with my ironing man and some in an ironing pile!), blue jbrand skinnies and my primark espadrilles.

Morning!

I have ordered the Precis Petite jacket that Betty linked. and the Miss Selfridges one that I originally linked as I thought best to try it. All the other sizes had run out and they only had one left in a 6. (JL should give me sales commission). Also tried a black oasis jacket (yes that's off piste). Will try the second Zara one that Lib linked too. Love the Valentino that Dry linked but I would wear that with jeans rather than a dress. v tempting though! to you all. Any more ivory/cream jackets/blazers let me know!

Morning. Thanks for organising lib. I've checked my trains and they're not as cheap as I'd like. Contemplating whether I should just book or hold out...

Haven't had a chance to look at links yet butbnovice, surely you need the goat dress to go with your jacket

Ooh meant to say that from August we will be able to order from the madewell site. I didn't realise that it was the little sister of j crew.

That's fab news about Madewell

Hello, I'm having lunch with Aussie rellies - as they say - on the 18th but may be able to pop in for a drink on the way home if you're still going so keep me in the loop please Lib.
No fashion news, but am still thinking about Shops red shoes.

Nooooooo! Naughty *QueenC

for Bernice

for QueenC

Love that shop but I'm being very good and not buying anymore summer clothes apart from some very cheap tops/dresses for holiday that I wont care if they get ruined by suncream. I may even come just for lunch at the meet up rather than my usual shopping spree to avoid temptation!

Do you own more summer or winter clothes? I've realised that I have loads of summer tops(but blouse things so not suitable for the beach), far more than winter tops. Definitely need to do more shopping in the winter .
