MN Vogue - volume 60

[shopafrolic]

The sales are underway - come join us as we hunt for stylish bargains :)

Morning. My crimes against fashion....fleeces, merrell trainers, North face jacket and North face cagoule. Sometimes practicality trumps style.

And the height of uncool is this cool bag which I bought as I couldn't find a beach bag that I liked but actually will be more useful in majorca I think as I'll have cold drinks and a cold towel!

When are you off on hols QueenC?

I have:
3 gilets (sooo useful)
2 pairs of fitflops (sooo comfy)
2 pairs of white linen trousers (sooo cool)

There may or may not be more......

Oh and I'm rather admiring your cool/beach bag Queen - love Lakeland am turning into my mother!

Have fun Novice

Morning,

Ooh QueenC a chilled towel in the heat sounds very luxe actually!

Enjoy CP Novice. I had my first foray there this year and actually really enjoyed it. Great weather helped us too.

So for crimes against fashion...some juicyesque bootcut tracksuit bottoms that unfortunately fly at half mast and an enormous U.S. college hoodie from my student days. That gorgeous ensemble is my winter loungewear, no cashmere separates in muted tones!

Fedup yes, Lakeland is great. What's wrong with white linen trousers, they sound nice

Blair can't picture you in crocs but that got me thinking that we only see each other when we've given a certain amount of consideration to our appearance. Imagine a mu in our loungewear, fit flops, my hair in its natural untamed state etc

Enjoy your Saturdays everyone. We are off to a classic car show and have guests tonight. Salt crusted sea bass with fennel and tomatoes for a taste of the Mediterranean even though the weather is rubbish here today.

There's no way anyone's seeing me in my fleece and sweatpants unless you're the postman! I forgot I also have a north face gilet.

So let me know if you haven't got it as I'm not used to using your full user names so may have made a mistake!

Anyone got any ideas what they may wear? Ive got a couple of possible outfits depending upon weather. The navy lace dress if hot although if its hugely hot then it'll be shorts. Or jeans (suprise suprise).

Nor me in my running shorts held up with a big elastic band (one that holds a loose leaf book together) as I lost the string tie.

Thanks QueenC you're a star

Not sure yet. Hopefully will be hot not cold.

iPhone weather is saying 23 and sunny, sounds perfect, hope it sticks.

Yes thanks QueenC

No idea what I'll wear - whatever it is it potentially has to take me through the day to out clubbing. God knows what I have in my wardrobe to fit that brief!

Good God a MU in civvies? You must be kidding
Mara can't quite picture you in Juicy couture velour half mast sweat pants, love the "half mast" in fashion speak these are referred to as "ankle grazers"

Also, a warning Mara, we went to a classic car show a few weeks ago, it was dangerous.......I will fill you in at the MU. Funny/upsetting at the same time

Gosh Dry sounds traumatic and intriguing. Trust me those trews don't merit the term ankle grazers!

Ootd is navy, white & gold. Striped gap tee with skinnies, gold flat sandals, Zara blazer with gold buttons, white enamel hermès bangle with ghw and navy goyard tote. Bit matchy but it works.

23 will be perfect as its not too hot and sweaty.

I can't help you amber-ive no idea what one wears to go clubbing nowadays .

Remember these that were linked ages ago...shoes. I've been obsessing about pink shoes for the last 24h (I realise how crazy that sounds) so these are winging their way to a london store for pick up next week!!

Gorgeous QueenC

love those QueenC now reminds me of what I was meant to go look for in there last time i was in london haha

They are lovely QueenC and so you.

I am sat at the airport feeling miserable. Got a new le Pliage in black yesterday and stocked up on French pharmacy goodies. Hope everyone is good. Will be too much to catch up on no doubt so looking forward to the MU. Amber really looking forward to finally meeting you

P.S. Final reductions at Anna are good. Pistols, R&B boots, Chinti & Parker and Soludos espadrilles

You could always order them one if you're sure if your size? Ive ordered a 5 and 6 and then I can just return when I pick up.

Can't decide what to wear tonight. Out with a friend for tapas.

LOVE those raspberry flats queenc!

Soo tired after a busy day with the DC. Very hot again today so I wore my Hush Catherine dress (this season's one) and this afternoon my Boden Santorini swimsuit and last year's white sleeveless Asos dress with a high neckline but very cut out back.

I've had a few White Ladies and now I'm on the red wine.

Counting down to our holidays although holidays with small children really is 'babysitting on location'

Lovely QueenC

Happy birthday Stokey! [fizz]

Linus hope there's some relaxing too on my holiday too

I'm off work next week, really looking forward to it.

Still have stuff to try on from asos, need to do it.

soooo, to add to my fashion crimes, today i bought a harry potter pac a mac, a lion king vest top, a lionel richie tee and a bardot top aztec print skater dress. i think i should be convicted already

in my defense m'lord, the pac a mac is needed since i can't carry an umbrella and i'm fed up of getting soaked when it rains. there is no excuse for the rest though

Oooh what did you get from asos Marsha?

QueenC I love those shoes too, great price now. One you should give them a try!

Happy birthday to Stokey

Shop your holiday seems to have gone by fast. Black pliage sounds good. Thanks for the heads up re Anna sale - I just bought this bag to replace the one I bought from Warehouse which lost loads of its sequins in the end.

My dodgy sartorial choices are similar to everyone else in that it involves raincoats and birkenstocks - just practical stuff really. I think Mara's lounging outfit wins hands down - I love the names too!

Blair I can't see you in Crocs either but the ones you linked are not too 'croc'-like.

Novice hope you are enjoying your time away and that your bedroom has a lock I like the sound of the petit bateau rain jacket!

There is an extra 10% on sale stuff at Me and Em - Sunten.

When are you off on hols Linus?

Good stuff Bernice they have some lovely bits.
EXTRA20 gets an extra 20% off All Saints sale too.
Home, washing on, catching up on Skyplus stuff.
What did I miss? happy Birthday Stokey
Week off sounds good Marsha are you going anywhere?

Oh and I have a new must read style book if anyone likes that kind of thing.....it's I love your style by Amanda Brooks. Love the way it is broken down. Anyone read it?
