Love the silver shoes Cranagh, I have worn my silver ballet flats a lot, they seem to go with everything.
Truely shite day at work today, starting to get me down. Luckily have a girls night out on Saturday to look forward to, need to gossip and drink fizz! Now what to wear.... Might give my jumpsuit its first outing.

OneLittleLady · 02/07/2015 17:57

silver shoes are fab cranagh i really want to wear my silver sparkly topshop ones that Dp bought for me but I think it might be a bit warm for them right now

it's really hot here still, no rain here and i'm sat in pants and a vest top again sorry for that image it's just too hot in here as the downstairs neighbour has gone away for the week AND LEFT HIS HEATING ON FULL SO IM GETTING IT RISING UP INTO MY FLAT!!!!!!!!

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2015 18:06

I bought a few bits in H&M today: this playsuit, high waisted shorts in the same print, v short black, tailored shorts and a grey/white striped boyfriend shirt.

Out for drinks tonight so I will wear some of that I'm sure.

OneLittleLady · 02/07/2015 18:21

love that playsuit amber it's the same style as the ones i've already got and that style seems to work for me so i might go and try one. can be tricky with H&M sizing as it's pretty unpredictable but worth a try

LinusDKD · 02/07/2015 18:25

My DH just installed our ancient airconditioning unit (bought when we lived in our first flat 13 years ago) on the landing upstairs and it is bliss.

I might spend tonight in front of it instead of in front of the telly. Wink

Love those silver shoes cranagh, especially as they have a round toe.

Sounds like you have a great outfit for your meeting shop

Have fun amber!

myvegas it's the weekend soon! Wine Flowers

AmberNectarine · 02/07/2015 19:01

It seems true to size one, mine is a small which is what is expect to take. H&M didn't disappoint with their random sizing though, I bought a 6, an 8 and a 10 in the other items!

MarshaBrady · 03/07/2015 07:36

Should have asked this earlier. But what do people wear to Wimbledon?

Wearing a dress but not sure which one, navy pleats and skinny belt, floral silk and skinny belt or more casual black James Perse?

LinusDKD · 03/07/2015 07:55

Something light and airy marsha and in natural fabrics (in this heat especially).

Black J Perse is clingy, no?

I've never been though. Wink

Wearing another of my H&M purchases, a blue short sleeved dress with pockets. Very simple but I dressed it up with my cobalt Gigis and bright Nano.

Going to do some sales shopping for the DC before it gets too hot in the shops.

MarshaBrady · 03/07/2015 08:18

Phew agree went for silk pale navy / green floral print dress with skinny teal belt.

Which might be one of the oldest in my wardrobe Dry at ten years.

MarshaBrady · 03/07/2015 08:19

And thanks Linus Smile

LinusDKD · 03/07/2015 08:22

Sounds perfect!

Have fun!

libertychick · 03/07/2015 08:28

I'd go for the navy or the floral Marsha - whichever is most comfortable. Have a great day Smile

libertychick · 03/07/2015 08:29

Sorry didn't see the decision was already made!

MarshaBrady · 03/07/2015 09:16

Should have been more organised Lib and asked yesterday!

Thinking about clothes I keep I've been really ruthless throwing stuff out or to charity. But a few things that still look good and I wear get to stay for years.

I'm out this weekend. Really hope this weather holds

AmberNectarine · 03/07/2015 09:20

I'm wearing H&M bleached boyfriend shorts, grey TS vest, grey and white striped H&M boyfriend shirt and silver espadrilles. Black Balenciaga to accessorise.

Out with DH tonight so might give the red American apparel dress and inaugural wear.

shopafrolic · 03/07/2015 10:06

Must start packing!
J crew neon orange tee here with GAP boyfriend shorts and GIgis. This may be the first year ever that I have flown anywhere in summer clothes rather than worrying I'll be too hot when I land! :)

shop don't forget to,pack something in case it's freezing on your return though!

Wore the next lace dress last night and loved it.

OneLittleLady · 03/07/2015 14:06

I don't think i can come to the MU now. I've had a huge vets bill as OneCat has broken a rib falling off the top of the door when she was playing and there's no way I could leave her to suffer in pain. Absolutely gutted as I was so looking forward to it and using it as an excuse to celebrate my good results Sad

shopafrolic · 03/07/2015 16:38

That's a shame One I was looking forward to seeing you again..... hope your cat gets better soon. Vets bills are crazy!

Hello all, gosh it's been hot, I cycled a bit today with dd2 on the back and nearly melted. I'm very impressed with Amber's runs.

I think I have the same H&M dress Linus. I bought it in black last year and blue this year, it's simple but great. There was someone wearing the red version at our music class this morning and another Mum in the black one on school run.

I've got loads of summer clothes that are ancient. I'm wearing a mint green H&M linen type skirt circa 2005 and a GAP charcoal tee from about 5 years ago. Yesterday I was in a striped green, yellow and black Zara skirt that I bought in Madrid in 2002. Think my summer wardrobe may need updating!

Stokey · 03/07/2015 17:00

Oh meant to say sorry you're not going to make the MU Lib. I am also around from mid August of you're doing a mini meet up.

AmberNectarine · 03/07/2015 18:22

Stokey I've learned my lesson - I did an arm and ab workout indoors today and even that had me -/sweating like DH when the bank statement comes-- glowing.

On my way to meet DH wearing the new red dress, cobalt Alexander Wang Lovisas and a zebra print Jimmy Choo candy clutch. Time for cocktails!

OneLittleLady · 03/07/2015 18:33

have a great evening Amber outfit sounds foxy Wink

i am so grateful to my brother for coming round even though he's tired from work to get me the fan from the garage. it is helping so much. it's utterly sweltering in here. just hope the guy downstairs is back soon and turns his heating off ASAP!!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 03/07/2015 18:48

Have fun Amber!

One that's a shame, poor OneCat, hope she recovers quickly. I was looking forward to meeting you! Next time! (if you are near Amber when you visit DP, you're not far from me anyway!)

It's the weekend! MyVegas hope today was better for you.

Shop So Envy of you jetting off, hope you have a lovely time.

How was your day at Wimbledon Marsha?

OneLittleLady · 03/07/2015 18:57

perhaps then, blair, we could have a minimu at some point?

oneCat is okay, much better since she's had painkillers. much more herself now and is back to eating properly and hassling for her treats as usual! really must properly sort out insurance for her. it hasn't been an issue up til now as she's a house cat so this is the first time she's really needed anything other than her boosters and flea treatments done, after her intital injections, spaying and microchipping that is
