Lovely bag porn queenc. I prefer the BV by a mile.

I just saw this and it's love but I really can't spend that amount on a beach bag.

Anyone seen something similar on the high street?

Karbea · 23/06/2015 14:24

Linus it's lovely, but it's huge. Do you take that much to the beach?

AmberNectarine · 23/06/2015 14:37

I have a Sophie Anderson beach bag - this one. It is massive but it fits EVERYTHING and will have to last forever!

LinusDKD · 23/06/2015 14:48

karbea with two small children I take everything but the kitchen sink. Grin

amber lovely bag and everyone on MNV knows I like my luxury bags understatement of the year but I just can't spend that on a beach bag that will get covered in suntan lotion, leaky fruitjuice cartons and the DC's bodily fluids. Wink

Karbea · 23/06/2015 14:53

There are some Sophie andersons on the outnet.

Karbea · 23/06/2015 14:57

outnet

AmberNectarine · 23/06/2015 14:58

I got it in a sample sale and paid about £120 for it I think. Still outrageous but not quite as bad!

QueenCardigan · 23/06/2015 15:00

linus ive been looking for ages for a beach bag too. None of them have been quite right.

LinusDKD · 23/06/2015 15:27

Thanks karbea! The one I am lusting after is also on The Outnet but only 40% off so still ££££.

queenc I am now looking on NOTHS and Etsy to see if I can find something I like.

I have one of these huge wicker baskets (very South of France but a pain to carry) that I use now but I want something I can wear over my shoulder.

Karbea · 23/06/2015 16:17

Linus I've one of those aswell, and a blue one from Elizabeth Hurley that is very old, and a brown one from a beach club in napa. None are good at all. I wanted a clutch but couldn't find one so gave up. We are away again in a week and a half but haven't seen anything perfect either.

maradesbois · 23/06/2015 18:14

Evening,

QueenC love the bag links for Karbea. I considered the Smythson Burlington tote for myself for uni but decided against, it was 50% off in the reddish brown colour only in the bond st store at the weekend. Thanks for my Equipment shirt link too, am such a fan of their prints.

Linus that would be a fab beach bag and am with you that it has to be biiig Smile. Will keep an eye out for one with better reduction.

Collected my NAP order from last week today but haven't even opened it yet as have just had to deal with removing a dead pigeon that landed on our balcony. Had to clean the decking with flash to get rid of the maggots, gross and so non-Vogue I do apologise. On second thoughts am going to go and open the box to get that image out of my head!

Karbea · 23/06/2015 20:09

Tell me I've not made a mistake...

Found this for £69.99 in tk maxx. I left it because it was black... Otherwise perfect... Was I right to let it go?!?!

Cranagh · 23/06/2015 20:19

Ugh, Mara, that's vile!

I like the jacket but it's a bit short, Karbea.

Liberty, has your Natasha bag arrived? Mine came this afternoon. I like it, going to clean up my old grey Natasha and ebay it tomorrow - so thrifty!

Cranagh · 23/06/2015 20:24

Forgot to say, very well done to One.

MyVegas, glad the discount was useful for the t shirts. I like that Hush dress a lot.

Karbea · 23/06/2015 20:25

Longer on me as I'm only 5ft tall...

libertychick · 23/06/2015 21:26

Let it go Karbea. Black is really not good on a top half item for autumns. I can't wear it at all now I have got used to warmer colours.

Cranagh yes the bag has arrived. I really like it. Need to have a proper play around and make sure it fits everything I need. Good plan to ebay your grey one. I need to get my act together and ebay a few things - can't find the time to sort it out.

shopafrolic · 23/06/2015 21:26

Some good bargains on the Atterley sale pages. Love the denim jumpsuit....

libertychick · 23/06/2015 21:27

BTW John Lewis and Jigsaw sales start tomorrow.

Karbea · 23/06/2015 21:35

Thanks lib it didn't look great! but I didn't have any makeup on...

MarshaBrady · 23/06/2015 21:40

Evening I've been wanting to jump in for ages but have been too busy wah

I'm feeling beat so just going to say there's a half price yellow Rocco on the outnet.

Missing chatting so want to post properly.

QueenCardigan · 23/06/2015 21:52

Jigsaw has started online. I may have made a purchase.
I thought jl was the 25th?

libertychick · 23/06/2015 22:05

I was in there today and announcement said starting starting tomorrow I thought - disclaimer, I am v tired, could easily have misheard.

Just realised Jigsaw has started online but site not working properly for me - the item I want doesn't seem to be in the sale anyway grrrrrrr

Big wave to Marsha, have missed you.

Cranagh · 23/06/2015 23:02

I ordered a pink poncho in Jigsaw. What did you order, QueenC? Forgot they did girls' clothes, like a few things for my DDs.

MarshaBrady · 24/06/2015 07:57

Big wave back to Lib Smile

A couple of days then I am ordering some clothes. My top and skinny situation is pretty bad.

I was awake far too early this morning with mind whirring with work so ended up just writing the notes rather than thinking about them. I'm surprised it happened as I've actually knocked caffeine out and have decaf- never thought I'd do that. Up until last night have been sleeping very well. I will say the early sunrise and light sky is very pretty.

Fedupnagging · 24/06/2015 09:08

The one item I am after in jigsaw is not in the sale either Lib - am hopeful it may get reduced in a few weeks.

Love those Sophie Anderson bags but they are too nice and £££ to take to the beach. We used to use the giant ikea bags for all dh & ds's stuff and I'd take a smaller nicer one just for me.

Have been pretty busy lately so I know I definitely missed out on some lovely links. Sad.
