mara congratulations on the move
fedup lovely bed jacket but not shops colour

QueenCardigan · 19/06/2015 10:13

Posted too soon as ocado arrived.
one I love gap jeans and if you can get some hugely discounted innthe sale they may be worth trying.

Warm and sunny here again today. Despite using suncream I ended up with red shoulders yesterday so I'm very shocked that some of you are freezing.

bettykt · 19/06/2015 10:43

Mara I love moving house and finding places for all my things, hope you get your fair share of wardrobe space!

Lib what a really pretty dress, it's lovely.

One I'm a fan of Primark jeans, lots of stretch in them so nice and comfy and cheap as chips. I buy them in 50 shades of grey Wink failing that I also like Next jeans too, especially the ones that lift your bum.

It's very cool and cloudy here so will be wearing getting my coatigan back out of the wardrobe.

I'm on the lookout for a red cardi. Been wearing a lot of nautical blue and white stripes recently and would like a red card to throw over my shoulders for chilly days. Probably don't want to spend no more than £30 any suggestions? I should be posing this question the the Queen of Cardis QueenC Grin

BerniceBobsHerHair · 19/06/2015 11:02

Just popping in but don't think I can catch up properly.

Betty uniqlo's merino cardis are that price -not sure if they are doing them atm tho helpful

Enjoy your new home Mara and good luck with getting some wardrobe space back from DH Grin

Love that dress Lib I am tempted as I love Liberty prints but the length is not right for me.

What are you all wearing in the warmer weather? I seem to hate all my summer clothes. Yesterday I wore a liberty print maxi skirt and felt really dowdy. Don't really want to spend tho as summer is so short.

Have felt quite uninspired by the summer sales so far. Still love this top but not in my size.

I don't really wear perfume. I did wear Michael Kors for a while, think I still have some somewhere and also Narcisco Rodriguez. About 10 years + ago I visited the Fragonard perfume factory (??) and bought some perfume there, which I still have and still love the smell of.

One I am liking Asos jeans atm but I think you were looking for RL shops? Amber was rating gap on another thread.

Cranagh · 19/06/2015 11:21

Gap True Resolution are brilliant.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 19/06/2015 11:23

It's cloudy here and a bit windy but lovely when the sun comes out. I'm wearing denim mini skirt with bare legs, feeling brave but hopefully later I'll have what my sister calls an alcohol jacket Grin just hope I don't blind anyone with the pastiness!

OneLittleLady · 19/06/2015 12:09

linus i'm a 32 now so I would love to try the MiH's if you don't mind? If they don't fit or look right I'll send them on to someone else from the board who wants to try them .Thanks

thank for all shop suggestions, i think i'm going to have a long afternoon trying jeans! Jeans shopping is the worst, isn't it?!

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 12:22

I hate shopping for jeans, I always struggle because my waist is small and thighs are big so they always fit in one place but not the other! Angry but my recent purchases of jeans have been from Asos and 1 pair from gap!

OneLittleLady · 19/06/2015 12:34

I feel that pain Maz my waist has always been my smallest place but my thighs stay big no matter what.

mara all the best for you settling in. enjoy your new home and may you make many happy memories there Thanks

QueenCardigan · 19/06/2015 12:34

betty I haven't seen any red cardis lately but try uniqlo, oasis, mango, woolovers (haven't bought from them so not sure what they're like), boden, landsend or house of Fraser.

QueenCardigan · 19/06/2015 12:37

QueenCardigan · 19/06/2015 12:40

There's also a red oasis one in HOF but I can't paste at the moment. Stoopid iPad.

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 15:46

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 16:00

Open style throw on cardi from debenhams

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 16:06

next

Wasn't sure if something like this would work??

And that's all I could find as a quick look, Smile

OneLittleLady · 19/06/2015 16:15

betty Uniqlo had red cardigans in recently, I bought one just over a month ago

I'm so tired, next doors cat keeps being left out at night and it starts wailing loudly at 3.30am every morning for the past four mornings. It wails right outside my bedroom window and it goes on for hours and hours until next door decide to get out of bed and let him in. I'm so fed up of it, I keep going and asking them to let him in but the guy next door won't get up to let his cat in until 'he's had a shave a shower and got dressed' i'm so annoyed that i've reported it as a noise nuisance, which it is because he could stop it easily by not leaving the cat out all night. I am seriously fed up of it but he's refusing to do anything to stop it even though eh knows it's causing a bother. All because he doesn't want to have to empty a litter tray if the cat is in over night. GRRRRRRR

libertychick · 19/06/2015 16:23

I have just bought a new summer work bag

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 16:23

Oh no one that's not good.Sad
I take it they don't have a cat flap! Surely that would just be easier for them and the neighbours!

bloomingheather · 19/06/2015 16:43

Hi ladies,
I posted on here a few times a while ago now but only manage to read every so often at the moment. Hope you are all well and enjoying the sales Smile I'm looking forward to catching up on what everyone is buying in the long summer holidays (I stop on Wed for 6 weeks!!]

I posted on the main style and beauty thread last night to ask about the Zara navy spaghetti strap jumpsuit but got no responses. I should really have asked here first. I didn't think at the time. I'll post my message below.

I love the look of this and it's in one of my favourite colours, navy! here
It was sold out in my size when i first spotted it a few weeks ago so I filled in a 'notify me when back in stock' form. I've just this minute got an e-mail saying it's back in stock. Hooray grin. But I just checked and it's apparently out of stock, again Sad
Did anyone actually see it in stock today? Or in store (preferably Glasgow)? And one more question? I know the sale is on now so I know the chances of me finding one are pretty slim. For the lucky people who have managed to find it in stock, would you recommend it? I'm 5'5" - would it make me look like a midget?? I'm a bit wary of a cropped trouser....

OneLittleLady · 19/06/2015 16:49

maz no catflap as we live in flats and the door into the building is mostly glass. he knows his cat doesnt like being out overnight but he doesn't care that it's causing a problem. he thinks he rules the roost because he's lived here the longest and also because he's 90! i don't care, i just want the noise to stop so i can sleep!

libertychick · 19/06/2015 17:14

Hi blooming Smile. Someone on here bought that jumpsuit or a very similar one recently. I was very briefly in Zara in London today but I didn't look properly as it just had the jumble sale look. How annoying that it's OOS.

mazj4cks · 19/06/2015 18:07

Oh no one that's a poop then. A large glass of wine before bed to knock you out maybe?! SmileHmm

Asos parcel finally arrived today! The stans are definitely a keeper, can't wait to wear them out now!! The bf tees are a keeper, I've had them before in different colours so just needed to re-stock!!
Now...the dungarees- I like them and they fit well but I'm not sure how much I'd wear them now, wether they are too hot for this time of year?! Or wether I'm just thinking that because it's really humid today and I was all hot and flustered when trying everything on?! Confused

bettykt · 19/06/2015 18:34

Thank you ladies for the red cards links knew I could rely on MNV to come up trumps Flowers

Lib that looks like the perfect tote, very nice.

Off to have a more in depth look at the cardis on pc. Noticed 1 oos already.

shopafrolic · 19/06/2015 19:51

Love that bag Lib
Waves to Bloomin damned if I can remember who bought or was looking at that jumpsuit
