Continuing on from here.

Summer and holidays are coming, and the Voguettes will be more than ready!

All welcome and the more links the better but please don't mention House of Colour. Wink

Got the black Lanvin marsha - loved the grey but I'll get more use out of the black..

Ah queen I got lovely blue trousers off Zara, was going to link for you,but they've sold out...

libertychick · 10/06/2015 23:22

Sounds like a lovely shopping day QueenC. Great top.

Shop I forgot to thank you earlier for the Brand Alley tip - unfortunately they have all the same stuff at the same price as the Jaeger Outlet site.

The thing is, now that I have been strict about shopping for a while I am much more hesitant about actually buying!! Have just ordered one item tonight these Hobbs trousers

Topaz sorry you can't make the MU but sounds like you have a great day planned with DD.

libertychick · 10/06/2015 23:24

That is such an elegant bag Happy - gorgeous.

LinusDKD · 11/06/2015 07:20

Morning!

Well this sales business is not going according to plan. It seems that none of the things I pinned on my sales boards is on sale! Especially on MyTheresa!

And I'm really trying to stick to what I pinned otherwise I'll just get seduced by discounts and buy things I don't need want

So I have no purchases to report but today I am wearing something out of my comfort zone: trousers and wedge heels. Shock Wink

I do realise it's nothing avant garde or world changing but I hardly ever wear those two together.

I'm just loving my A.P.C. wedges but it's quite chilly in the mornings so I'm wearing my navy Boden chinos (cuffed the hem), white Asos v-neck tee from the men's collection and a cobalt Uniqlo belt I bought in NY last year.

Love that Lanvin bag happy! I am still on the lookout for the perfect Lanvin ballet flats but none of the colours this season inspire me and the ones that do are not in mu size anymore.

libertychick · 11/06/2015 08:31

It's early days Linus! I think I got my best discounts towards the end of July last year.

Lovely day in London.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2015 09:58

Playing sales chicken Lib? Love it!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 11/06/2015 10:54

Morning!

I'm with you Lib I'm broke now until July really. I'm not going on holiday til the end of August so it will be quite fun browsing the end of sales to find whatever I still need.

Having said that Blush just snapped up this turquoise blazer from Massimo Dutti which I'm so pleased about. I tried it on a few weeks ago, then it disappeared from the website after I decided it would probably go into the sale! It showed up there in my size so phew. Think it was originally £80.

Well, that didn't last long. The Matches sale is on and I just ordered this dress

I've had my eye on it for months but didn't want to pay fp but now it's 50%off.

I usually don't order from Matches if I can help it as they don't offer the Delivery Duty Paid option so I'm a bit worried about customs charges but all the other online retailers sold out of this dress.

Oh and the size is a bit of a worry as well, they said to size down so I ordered a US2.

I love that Massimo D blazer blair! Gorgeous colour.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 11/06/2015 11:39

Love that dress Linus, it'll look fab on you and great discount too!

Know what you mean about sizing, Matches should do item measurements for each size like NAP do.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2015 12:03

Love that for you Linus - beautiful

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2015 12:19

Linus that is so gorgeous and will look beautiful on you.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2015 13:54

James Perse tee too small - very fitted so could have done with a size 4 TBH! Back it goes.

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2015 18:57

Going out to dinner with friends, straight from work. Wish I could change!

libertychick · 11/06/2015 19:01

I am sure you look great Marsha. Have a lovely evening.

Right, need to get the small child to bed then I'm going to have a really good virtual rummage around Matches!

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2015 19:03

Date night round 2.

DH is home and dressed and ready.

So.......Elko caged sandals and Sandro dress it is. Red lippy. Nude patent clutch.......warm enough to have champ outside Smile

The Dune shoes arrived but are too big Sad I get that bit sticking out on the heel IYKWIM ......nice quality. Keeping the Asos Sophias.

LinusDKD · 11/06/2015 19:27

Have fun dry and marsha!

Dh and I urgently need regular Date Nights but we need to sort out a reliable babysitter first.

lib I am purposefully not having another look at the Matches sale because I have ordered one of the things I pinned beforehand waiting for the NaP sale to begin

BrandyAlexander · 11/06/2015 20:49

What a lovely day. The dcs love me taking them to and from school on days like this as we put the car roof down, loud radio and loud singingGrin

I looked at the matches sale but wasn't really inspired. I really need a wardrobe clear out!

Have fun Dry and Marsha!

Hey Lib, can you resend me your text? My phone was playing up.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2015 20:49

Have fab nights Dry and Marsha
Regular date nights have made a massive difference for DH and I.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 11/06/2015 20:58

Looking at Matches now - I realised I have more to spend than I thought Grin I'm not sure I actually need anything now though...
Lib that dress you liked has a nice discount!

Eating a raspberry Magnum, love them.

Have fun Dry and Marsha.

Novice I did text you again! Your phone must still be playing up - I sent a pm about the MU the other day - was just wondering if you got it?

Blair I KNOW!! So tempted, need to focus on workwear Smile

Bernice I can really see you in this

BrandyAlexander · 11/06/2015 21:09

bizarre! it seems to have frozen across time zonesConfused I almost sent you swarovski pins yesterday as their sale is on!!

libertychick · 11/06/2015 21:52

Ohhhh must take a look...

libertychick · 11/06/2015 23:08

After much deliberating have ordered....

Orange Weekend Max Mara Pappa dress

Liberty print Allium B dress

Allium B are closing down - everything half price.

LinusDKD · 12/06/2015 07:41

Morning!

Love that Weekend MM dress lib!

Max Mara, Sportmax etc always have something in their collection I can buy and the things I've got from years ago still look good now.

OOTD is a bit boring today: old navy MiH tee, red Next jeggings (sooo comfortable) and Tod's loafers. Was a bit rushed this morning and just grabbed some stuff out of the wardrobe Grin

As the sales are not very inspiring atm (although I have high hopes for the NaP sale, anyone know when it starts?) I am thinking of saving my money and putting it towards some A/W stuff I've seen.

Am I mad? It would mean paying fp which is against my religion Wink

Or will I just buy things I really need after careful consideration?

Or am I talking out of my behind? Smile

MyVegasBaby · 12/06/2015 07:50

Great purchases, love the Massimo Dutti blazer. I usually end up buying a few bits in their sale, although had a quick look and some very small reductions on some things, so will wait a bit.
Haven't bought anything yet but still gave ASOS and Gap deliveries to unpack and try when i have a bit more time at the weekend.
Hope those out last night enjoyed their evenings, we went for a nice early evening walk with the DC which was lovely, even managed a little drink sat outside in the way back. Love warm, light evenings!
