MarshaBrady · 25/06/2015 21:25

Great buy too Fedup fab colour, can imagine that in AW too.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 25/06/2015 22:07

Love hearing about all the sale buys! The silver bag is so you QueenC, and love the bucket bag fedup - I think that style looks great but I would lose stuff in the bottom.

One well done and hope you get your other marks soon :)

betty and vegas Wine for my fellow work sufferers. One more day to go until the weekend.

bettykt · 25/06/2015 22:09

Thanks for the Fitbit info

Fedup you've got your bucket bag, it looks very nice and soft buttery leather

Very cool bag QueenC

Yes sorry One just read back and saw your results, well done go and treat yourself tomorrow

MVBaby I can second the Boden Sorrento, wore it on hols, very flattering and holds everything in.

MyVegasBaby · 25/06/2015 22:30

Thanks for the swimsuit/bikini suggestions, will have a look.

shopafrolic · 25/06/2015 23:50

I'll be there Marsha
Just back from a fun girly night out - I was driving but still had a much needed giggle. Wore my new turquoise tee, Jimmies and my pink ankle tie J Crew shoes. Gorgeous cocktails (non alcoholic for me) and great food = happyShop. Night all.

Brilliant Shop really pleased.

Dh is out with clients having a great time and I'm awake with a mosquito annoying me. Bring on the mu. Really looking forward to it.

MyVegasBaby · 26/06/2015 07:34

Shop PAYDAYGAP gets you 20% off if that's any use for your jeans. Just received an email.

Drywhiteplease · 26/06/2015 08:04

Love a good girl's night out, sounds great Shop. Think I need colourful shoes, your outfit sounds fab.

Can't wait for the MU.

Today I'm wearing BR ankle grazers (work uniform) in camel, black lace she'll top, leopard Daniel pointy flats.

Bloodshot eyes........have been trialling vari focal contacts because reading glasses are driving me nuts , think I put them in too soon after getting up, they're killing me today but I have to keep them until my appointment. Any contact wearers on here? When to you put them in? I've learnt that it's best to put them in before make up, after a day looking like Alice Cooper Grin
And.......after all that my eyes aren't ajusting, so I might just ditch them and stick with the glasses Hmm

Drywhiteplease · 26/06/2015 08:06

And I can't bloody see .....hense the typos Angry

shopafrolic · 26/06/2015 08:26

Thanks for the code MyVegas
Was going to wear old faithful greyJ Crew tee last night with the pink shoes but did a Marsha and split hair oil on it at the last minute hence the lary colour combo but it felt alright. At least it was a sunny day.
I wear contacts Dry but can only do 8 hours max so if I want them for the evening the earliest I put them in is lunchtime.

shopafrolic · 26/06/2015 08:28

I also carry these with me for comfort if they start getting dry.

QueenCardigan · 26/06/2015 09:53

I'll be a wreck by the mu. The summer term is always mad and the next 3 weeks are so busy. I will definitely be needing a glass of prosecco or 10 by then! No idea about what to wear as the weather is so changeable at the moment. Almost hoping that it won't be ridiculously hot.

I'm pissed off with boden. I returned the denim chino shorts in 9in leg as they came back into stock in the 4in which I prefer. I chased them yesterday about the order and they're out of stock. Grr. The 9in are also out of stock now too. So if anyone out there has size 8 4in leg waiting to return please do so!!

Glad you all like the bag. It will get a lot of use especially as my cheapo oasis bag is literally coming apart at the seams. And the dvf is a bit small for every day use.

fedup so glad you've finally got your bucket bag. I didn't buy thevsame top as dry. I bought a tee which is being returned.

mazj4cks · 26/06/2015 13:17

Hi ladies,
Today I went to take something back to office and ended up buying a few bits.

this skirt which ended up being £7.99! I've found that a few times with gap, see something online in the sale but it's much cheaper in store! Bought a jumper there that was £19.99 online but I paid £6.99 in store!
And I bought this skirt.
I also picked up a couple of bits of makeup. They've recently opened up a Kiko store so thought I'd try their stuff. Smile

shopafrolic · 26/06/2015 14:08

Brilliant having a look Shop probably don't need anymore although would be lovely

Having a nice day, when I started work I recognised someone and she me and we worked out why, our dc knew each other at nursery. So we're friends now and just went for a nice lunch. Bonus!

Drywhiteplease · 26/06/2015 16:19

Turns out my contacts were inside out IYKWIM Blush.........,.....

MarshaBrady · 26/06/2015 17:05

Have ditched grungy, dark nails.....now the brights are out and on.

Stokey · 27/06/2015 08:04

Brights for summer Dry woohoo.

I was out last night at the local gin bar wearing the lovely red Office flats, Hoxton jeans rolled up a bit and a great cobalt shirt I got in the Mango sale for a tenner.

I hope to make the MU but out with school friends the night before and lunch with my uncle that day so will be a fleeting appearance if I make it.

Enjoy the sunshine everyone, I'll be wearing new "sexy" boyfriend cut offs as recommended by MyVegas and a blue shirt.

Fedupnagging · 27/06/2015 08:37

Morning all, beautiful day here - fingers crossed it doesn't change.

Dry Grin at your contacts.

Shop it sounds like you are starting to recover finally.

Queen very frustrating on the shorts front - hope you manage to land them eventually. I feel your pain leading up to the end of term, it's so exhausting.

Maz nice purchases - I think we shop in the same place!

Marsha it's great when you make a new friend.

Drywhiteplease · 27/06/2015 08:42

SUNSHINE Grin Grin
I'm going to wear my Boden denim shift dress from last year and "snake skin" Clarks flat block heeled sandals from last summer too.
Have a lovely day all Smile
