MN Vogue Vol 59

[BlairWaldorfLovesShopping]

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.

Yikes Blair!! Is that the Spring 'splash'?? Lovely jacket.

Doubt there will be returns QueenC. I was debating a couple of MbMJ bags. I am sure most people buying them know exactly what they want. I don't know if I would have gone for them. I dither a lot over things like bags.

Not 'meant to be' lib.

I'm pleased because of the two items I bought with my NAP preview code, one wasn't reduced at all in the sale and the other seems to have disappeared from the site altogether. I feel better about only getting 25% off now!

Have popped a few bits on my wishlist to await the next round of reductions - this strategy served me well last year. Now popping to have a browse in the matches sample sale shop that is local to me.

Also girding my loins ahead of dropping two pairs of shoes in to be reheeled - my cobbler is good but he knows how to charge (probably sees the words 'Jimmy Choo' and thinks 'mug'). Last time it came to about £40 .

no sales shopping for me, there is no 'spare' at the minute.

going to london next week and will be there for about a week ish, have an acupuncture appointment which is one of the reasons for going down. dp does have to work though so ill be in the garden a lot if the weathers fine and mostly just pottering around. i could do with a bit of time away right now tbf

Lovely coloured thirst Shop, I'd love a set of those, can you share the 30% discount code or is it a personalised one?
We are just under 6 weeks from our main holiday too so looks like a few of us heading off at the same time.
I have bought a few bits from Gap and ASOS, cotton mix dress, denim 'sexy boyfriend' shorts and some black tailored shorts to wear in the evening. Have ordered a few more things from ASOS yesterday with the 20% discount as need a bright top to go with the black shorts. Once I have that other than the elusive black patent gigis for less than £80(!) i am more or less done!
I need to look at bikinis, bought a nice one last year but we are holidaying with another family this year and the lady despite not exercising and living on wine and nibbles(!) is very skinny. I'm short, not big, am fit with good legs (for my age from all the sport I do) but I have a belly so am feeling a bit unsure how I'll feel in a bikini. I really should just cut out the crap I eat and focus some exercise on that area for the next 6 weeks and get on with it!

tailored shorts thought these would make a change for the evening.
Have ordered FC top and these as options to wear with them red top and Warehouse Top

Warehouse Top

And this silk mix top from Next although sizing seems to be all over the place so likely to go back Black silk mix top

And finally these Dune patent sandals to possibly satisfy my black patent need /obsession although I think flats will be more practical.balthough these do look fab!

Hoping someone can help me with this fashion dilemma! I bought this skirt on a reduction a while back and love it but have no idea what to wear it with! pencil skirt its hanging in my wardrobe and needs to be out there earning its keep! It's more of a cream than a white but thinking maybe a contrast would be good??

I really like that skirt myVegas! I would wear it with a silk tee or cami or a light jumper - but then I wear pencil skirts nearly every day to work. Not sure how I would style it for casual, maybe just with a tee and flats?

I love that FCUK top, gorgeous print!

vegas are you coming to the meet up? Our tastes are v similar. I considered those gap shorts but as its just the 5 of us going away I don't need or want to be smart in the evenings so I'll wear the boden chino shorts and wear my denim ones in the day. I also have those dune sandals in grey. I love them and they're so comfortable.

The pencil skirt link won't open for me.

Thanks Blair yes I'd like to wear it to work, what colour top and shoes??
Queen it's this one but in the blue/cream pattern that's sold out pencil skirt. Sounds like we do have similar tastes, I don't think I can make the meet up, will check again, will definitely try for the next one, still feel a bit new if you've all met before. You'd probably recognise me as I'll be wearing very similar to you by the sounds of it!

Thanks for the flowers everyone. I feel a lot better about it all today with a different outlook after df gave me a pep talk.
Love those links Vegas the skirt would look great with lots of things like a thin neutral or raspberry colour jumper or a plain short sleeve t.
Blair that Md blazer is lovely. I have a navy one from a couple of years ago that is also very well made and more expensive looking than it cost. Unfortunately it is a bit too smart for my workplace so it has only been worn once when someone asked me if I was off somewhere
I bought a few things in the Stories sale but can't see them online to link.
Shame you missed out on your sale picks Lib

Vegas I think a pale top (cream, pale yellow) would be nice and maybe nude shoes. I am quite wary of going too BRIGHT with an outfit though

justa I pinned 24 things on the morning of the Stories sale, and 2 days later all of them except 2 were gone! Glad you are feeling better today.

Hi all.

MyVegasBaby the Anna discount code is PRIVATESALE.

Justa, glad you are feeling better. Families can be so annoying! You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family.

Shame about the bag, Liberty but has your lovely Goat dress arrived?

Have started to get ready to move (we go in a month) and decided I need a leaving London present so ordered this. Also have my eye on a few things at Nap but only if further reduced.

I love those shorts too, QueenC.

Goat dress has arrived. Unfortunately I look HUGE in it. Not prepared to take a photo, having a medicinal beer to recover from the trauma

I love that bag Cranagh
justa glad to hear things are better today

Evening!

Oh no lib! That dress looked so perfect in the picture. Do you think sizing down might help?

vegas I like to wear pencil skirts like in the first Boden picture, with a looser top like my J Crew Tippi merino jumpers.

cranagh I love that bag. Gorgeous colour!

I was good and only looked at things in the NaP sale that I had pinned beforehand. In the end I ordered a Splendid dress at 40% off.

I have played Sales Chicken before with Splendid items before and then they were sold out so this time I decided not to wait for a bigger discount.

Anyone know what Cosabella underwear is like? I ordered two pairs of knickers to try after my favourite M&S ones (recommended by justa or topaz) don't seem to be made anymore.

You ok shop?

splendid dress

It might have little hanger appeal but I like it on the model.

Love that dress, Linus.
Grr, that's annoying, Liberty, exchange it.

Oh no Linus have they stopped making those pants? that is not good news and just as I was cheering up! Why would they do that???

Love that bag Cranagh its a perfect leaving London present.

Blair I went into the shop on Saturday morning as I was meeting a friend nearby. There were some bargains to be had and much more stuff than online. I got a few silk tops and a cotton shirt.

Those of you who have the AH maxi zip, do you find the zips a little stiff or do they go around smoothly? I had a problem with the zip on one side so took it back and they posted a new one to me which is also a little stiff on one side. Will it get better with time? Also the second one they sent is not as nice smooth glossy leather as the first one. Not sure what to do.

I really like that dress Linus
Oh no Lib which dress was it?

Love that dress linus - hanging in there thanks for asking.
MyVegas looks like you have the code now. Do you need the link too or can you access it ok.
NOBODY POST NOW - WILL SET UP NEW THREAD
