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

Gah, pressed send too soon. Was about to add that I could see you with a red or teal bag which would work well if you're wearing neutrals.

OneLittleLady · 15/06/2015 22:54

hi all

sorry to hear you had family troubles Shop and justa I hope you are feeling okay Thanks

been trying to figure out part of my last assignment for this year until resits and realised after an hours work, i'd been doing totally the wrong thing! not to worry though, i know what to do now so tomorrows going to be easier

really hoping to make this MU, have to find out if Dp is out of the country or not though as that will be the deciding factor, well, that and if i have anything to wear that doesn't make me look like i've been dragged through a hedge!

justasecond · 15/06/2015 23:44

Thanks for asking marsha and one DH and I are feeling pretty depressed atm being dragged into something that has nothing to with us. Wish we could emigrate...
Did you return your Dune shoes Dry I reordered them cheaper from here www.spartoo.co.uk/Dune-CRISTINA-x925445.php in case anyone is interested. I didn't wear them to my evening out in the end but decided to keep them as they are so lovely.

libertychick · 16/06/2015 00:08

Flowers justa. Wanting to emigrate sounds a bit drastic. Families can be such hard work. Hope things look better for you soon.

Those Dune shoes are lovely.

mazj4cks · 16/06/2015 06:24

dry dh bought me a Cambridge satchel company bag for Xmas and when I was choosing colour I thought "I should go neutral to go with more etc" but decided on red as I thought you kind of have to go for a brighter colour with them and I actually don't use any other bag because it goes with so much that I wear!
So definitely choose a colour you wouldn't normally choose for your next bag as you may be surprised how much it will go with.Smile

LinusDKD · 16/06/2015 07:08

Morning!

How did you manage to find Stans on Asos Maz?! I have been looking for ages and they never have them in my size.

dry I think you should venture into bright bag territory. I love my bright bags (indigo and yellow) but I agree with queenc my teal Tod's gets worn a lot.

I would love a red bag (my Cambridge satchel is red but quite casual so doesn't always work) but I am so fussy about my reds I can never find a bag in just the right kind of red.

justa and shop (((hugs))) for you. Family problems can be totally draining, even if you're only indirectly involved.

Pretty overcast and humid here so I'm wearing my Jimmies and a ls J Crew tee. (Yawn)

LinusDKD · 16/06/2015 07:08

novice pm!

Drywhiteplease · 16/06/2015 07:57

I would actually love a red bag but my tan Mulberry fills that gap t the mo.

Right, ootd is inspired by liberty.
Bright red Hobbs skirt with box pleat perfect style for work
Cos black and white stripy top that Stokey has too
LKB pointy balck flats

Will count the French comments and report back.
Score so far =1 from DD
I promise to kiss anyone who uses the word "Parisian"
And a hug for "chic" apart from if it's my boss

Aurevoir et ou la la! Grin

Stokey · 16/06/2015 09:19

Bonne chance Dry! I've still only worn mine once, just doesn't quite fit with the rest of my wardrobe or life at the moment - think it works best with skirts, so am hoping if I ever start working again it will come into it's own.

Flowers to Shop and Justa , hope family stuff is improving.

I love that pinafore dress Maz. I tried on a Topshop one but was a bit short but that looks like a great length.

Gosh summer is coming very quickly - I was writing out my whiteboard calendar today and am only 6 weeks away from holidays. I have a list of a few holiday bits and bobs I'm hoping to pick up in the sales:
A Hoola bikini
cut offs
beach cover up
a couple of cotton dresses
birkies
and towelling beach robes and UV swim stuff for the kids

that's quite a lot in fact!

This was my perfect H&M summer dress from last year. I may just buy the same again in stripes and dark red for this summer.

QueenCardigan · 16/06/2015 09:47

stokey same here about going away in about 6 weeks. I've just received my boden rash vest ready for when I burn random bits of my back and shoulders (I always either miss bits or straps rub the suncream away). I also ordered their chino shorts. How have I never discovered these before? I love them! Am stalking the website now for the colour and fit that I want next!

justa sounds hideous Flowers

Whispers.....

shopafrolic · 16/06/2015 10:35

Mulberry sale on too

LinusDKD · 16/06/2015 10:36

The Matches DvF dress has arrived and it's lovely. I need to try it on properly once the DC are in bed though.

It's a bit shorter than I usually wear for more 'dressy' dresses so I think I'll get most wear out of it in Autumn/Winter with opaques.

I had forgotten how gorgeous Matches boxes are. I keep all of them but have still to find a way to re-use them.

Now all I need to do is wait for DHL to send me their duties bill. Sad

shopafrolic · 16/06/2015 10:38

And PM me if you want link and code for the Anna sale - 30% off including Pistols

shopafrolic · 16/06/2015 10:39

includes Gigis too - 30% off

mazj4cks · 16/06/2015 10:57

linus I did want the green and office were the only place that has them in my size (size 7) but asos had the navy, so with the discount I kind of thought I'm not that fussed about the colour of the logo, if it saves me money! Grin

libertychick · 16/06/2015 10:59

FFS - both items I was considering sold out Sad I can't compete with the real fashionistas!!!

libertychick · 16/06/2015 11:03

Outfit sounds great Dry! Looking forward to hearing the feedback Smile

WFH this morning but out for meetings this afternoon - outfit is this skirt with cream LK Bennett shell top and a cropped dark green cardi - some random TK Maxx label! This Accessorise necklace as recommended by novice, gold studs. Haven't decided on shoes yet...

Finery trousers have arrived. They don’t suit me unfortunately but I am really impressed with the quality and cut. I’ll definitely try out other things from them. And quick delivery, everything nicely packaged, free returns – thumbs up all round.

shopafrolic · 16/06/2015 11:06

Boo hiss Lib
Just bought these tees with 30% off - shame the delivery is over £7 but I'm getting desperate!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/06/2015 11:34

Hi all.

I didn't really have a NAP wishlist. I've been good and had a really quick browse of everything up to £150 or so, the only thing that caught my eye was an iPhone cover. How annoying that your things sold out Lib. Your outfit today sounds fab, that skirt is amazing and I don't think I've seen you link it before.

My turquoise Massimo Dutti blazer arrived yesterday. I'm so impressed, the quality is stunning and if it had a price tag of £200 I wouldn't be surprised.

Dry love the outfit, I hope you're going to have baguette for lunch and drink French Wine later Grin

Love those colour tees for you shop!

shopafrolic · 16/06/2015 11:48

Should be good I think Blair. I don't know the brand though so not sure on sizing

QueenCardigan · 16/06/2015 12:08

Perfect trio of colours shop.
I love that blazer blair. How will you wear it?
lib outfit sounds great. Keep an eye on nap for returns.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/06/2015 12:22

Hope it's ok shop, think you were unlucky before, you can't usually go too far wrong with t-shirt sizing surely! Confused

QueenC with sober colours and subtle accessories Wink I was going to wear it today but ended up putting on a yellow top. I think I'll try it with navy and grey Me+Em dresses. I'm also tempted to take a pic with it over the salmon Armani and a bright belt and put up a pic of "how HoC would like me to dress" Wink

QueenCardigan · 16/06/2015 12:40

Grin at blair. I expect you to be wearing that at the meet up! Don't forget to add in your lipstick.

Woohoo, just got the navy chino shorts in my size. There must have been a return. Holiday sorted now as 4 pairs of shorts is adequate. Just want to get a couple of cheap tees for the beach.
