MN Vogue - volume 60

[shopafrolic]

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

Not sure I know what your course is going to be Mara - sounds good.
I haven't tried the shower tan but have heard good things - I use their Everyday one when I can be bothered (which is rare). Haven't been able to get my slightly tanned legs out since I got back from hols with this rubbish weather
Gianni dress is lovely - textured fabric, really thick - viscose though..... am going to try it in the next size down. My breton Ganni dress is a large but i think I need a medium in this one. Will hang onto the larger size until the smaller one arrives - looks like free returns at ASOS so should be fine.
If it works it could well have it's first outing on Saturday. :)

shop dh had a job roll change just before/after GC and now has been travelling a lot more, to the U.S. Mainly but because of the travel time it means he's away for a week at a time!!
Fingers crossed you find something Hun

Haven't tried shower stuff either but swear by the everyday tan.
betty I could copy linus too, we could look like triplets

Just had a little mooch. Visited an independent boutique that stocks Penny Black, had forgotten how much I loath at stuff. Also saw 7FaM khaki skinny combats which I've been lusting after for years. Over £200 though
Resisted .

shop after DCs I fell into what lead me to my present job. Started working 4hrs and am now on the verge of going full time. Think, if you can, find something small and who knows what it can lead to. Just don't get something that will stress you out.

Ha shop you could always join my DH and home school for a sense of purpose! PT jobs can be hard to find and it is hard if all the home stuff and ferrying DS to play dates / activities falls on you as well. Ganni dress is lovely.

Outfit sounds good Betty. I often think a bit of Hermes is just what I am missing too

Oh and I have the shower tan stuff. Needs a couple of applications but does give a nice light tan. No smell and no streaks.

I know what you mean about sense of purpose but equally I don't want to work for no financial gain with all the stresses that go with it. I'm dreading dd starting in September though and will miss having a child at home although ds is driving me mad today as he's slighly manic from steroids. I'm looking forward to going back to my volunteering though and may just stick with that. Also hoping that eventually my dp will move down which would allow more flexibility in hours and not just needing term time as they would help with childcare.

I've got a cracking tan - one of the few benefits of many hours spent pounding the pavements!

I'm meeting a friend at 8.30 on Sat so I'll be around until 8ish. Still none the wiser as to what to wear, but have realised the club I'm going to is close to the office so I might just change there and leave a bag for DH to bring home.

OOTD is currently some sexy black nike cycling shorts, trainers and a cobalt Sweaty betty running top (all very sweaty to add to the allure) - better get my act together as I'm out tonight.

a helicopter just landed near to where my car was parked and Prince Charles and C got out my life gets weirder and weirder he waved! Must have been my eye catching ensemble

That is SO random dry!

Cool dry

The fashion gods are looking down on me. Some of you know that I bought
this skirt reduced from £149 to £79 but wasn't prepared to spend that amount of money on something I wouldn't wear for a few months. They then sold out my size so I forgot all about it. I'm not sure what made me just go onto the jigsaw site but there it was in my size for £47 .

It was meant to be QueenC :)

Lol Dry how funny! Did you wave back?

fashion fate QueenC

it is sooo muggy here right now. I really dislike it when it's like this, it just makes me pour with sweat and feel gross and dirty even when i'm freshly showered

OOTD is a little cheap primark cotton dress, perfect for the mugginess of today

The fashion Gods smiled down on you QueenC

For Dry

Certainly did Blair very enthusiastically , would have waved my Union Jack flag too ibut I left it at home today < you never know when a Royal might just pop up> ........

And now I have to stop spending money. It's my first month without paying nursery fees so I've had extra to spend. I must be disciplined and start saving from now on.

Ooh I forgot to post my exciting bargain of the day - rockstud sunglasses, £25 TK Maxx. Don't mind if I do.

Amber I NEVER find stuff like that in TK Maxx!!! SULKS

I think they send all the good stuff down to london. Whenever I go to a regional one I am aghast at the old crap. Today there was loads of great stuff - I was tempted by a lovely Saint Laurent clutch and a DVF dress among other things.

for Maz

and another for Maz

Which one is it Amber? My hair appt is at 10am - am wondering if I can make the time to visit...... really want those sunnies
