Morning all. Last night in the middle of he might I was woken by a couple arguing on the street. Next thing I know the guy had kicked in our front window. Called 999, police were awesome and arrested him based on my description. Had to wait till 4am for emergency repairer to block off the gaping hole. Not how I wanted my fabulous day to finish Sad Some people in our village ruin it for everyone.

QueenCardigan · 19/07/2015 08:28

Oh no shop. Thats dreadful. Hope you're all ok?

MyVegasBaby · 19/07/2015 08:31

Love those suede Mary Janecshoes with the blue heel, gorgeous Queen.
Sounds awful Shop, quite scary.
Glad you all had s good MU and sounds like you were all very glam.
Huge work project completed this week so looking forward to working normal hours and being less stressed! Only a week until our holiday so need to get sorted and ready, can't wait.

QueenCardigan · 19/07/2015 08:38

Stokey · 19/07/2015 08:40

Gosh Shop how frightening. Glad you're OK

QueenCardigan · 19/07/2015 08:49

for me and dry

OneLittleLady · 19/07/2015 08:49

shopafrolic · 19/07/2015 08:52

new pitch pants for marsha

Stokey · 19/07/2015 09:10

I still feel appalling Shop and the children are being annoyingly needy, wanting food and drinks, how inconsiderate. Don't they realise Mummy needs to lie on the sofa?

How are you?

bettykt · 19/07/2015 09:26

OMG Shop how terrifying, glad they were arrested but not great you had to wait up till 4am, hope you have an easy day planned today. Flowers

QueenC great links as always, I'll take the tan bag, am missing one of these from my wardrobe.

Another tennis day here with the dc, better get myself ready.

Ujjayi · 19/07/2015 09:28

Shop that must have been awful. Glad the police got it sorted quickly.

Hi Stokey Smile. Yes we were both newcomers at the last MU. You've just earnt your Pro status going to 2 in a row Grin

QueenC those mary-jane style Ferragamo pumps are stunning. I'm looking for shoes at the moment. What I really want are the Marant Leo's but the world has shopped & it appears there are no more left Confused. I've tried variations on the theme but they just won't do.

Anyone had any sales success? I have been very restrained & only bought/kept things that I truly love instead of being swayed by the fact it's a bargain. I bought the Marant Tacoma dress for an absolute steal (£150 down from £455). It's a crochet knit & has the most fab & flattering shoulder detail. Wore it on friday with bare legs & flat sandals & it's perfect. I felt trés Parisienne Grin Will also work with heels & opaques come cooler weather. I also bought a fab pair of slim fit khaki trousers also by Marant. They are linen blend with a raw/fringed hem & are proper ankle grazers. When you have been "blessed" with sturdy ankles, mid-calf crops posing as ankle grazers are not your friend. Can't find them anywhere online but will Pin a photo later. Also have an Outnet parcel waiting to be opened containing a Marant jumper & dress (have you spotted a theme yet?!). But I've been so busy this week I've had no time to open it. From the high street: Boho-esque black Dress from Zara with flouncy & full sleeves & gold beading & embroidery at the waist (it's in my Outfit of the Day pins). A bit too warm for now but will be perfect for autumn.

Topazandpearl · 19/07/2015 09:39

How awful shop. I hope you are all ok.

I hope the hangovers ease shortly Brew.

Great links Queen, I will stand in line with Linus and Shop for that gorgeous Lanvin top!

You have done very well with your sale shopping Ujjayi, I look forward to seeing the pins.

My OOTD will be my Paige Hoxton Shelbys with either my Breton or silk top. I will also wear my Clarks navy and white flats. ( I am away - with hand luggage only - so choice is restricted. I have gone for a navy base this time which is working well, although I wonder if people think I am wearing the same clothes all the time!)

Well, I got home at 2.45 and feel as good as I deserve after 12+ hrs of drinking .

Must now gird my loins for the onslaught of 25 3/4yos

Ujjayi · 19/07/2015 09:42

Topaz they will think you are incredibly chic & will be in awe of how "put together" you are. Packing around a base colour is a great idea.

Stokey hope the hangover/DCs demands ease off soon.

shopafrolic · 19/07/2015 09:48

Good luck Amber

Good luck today Amber
Shop that's scary and really horrid. Hope DS is ok.
Blair thought you were just hungover have a terrible pregnancy radar

Hangover at 2am........trying to muster enthusiasm to go to the gym and supermarket before visitors next week back down to earth with a thump

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2015 10:16

Morning gorgeous people. It was lovely to see everyone last night. I always find mus so exciting, like a school reunion these days.

I'm going to have some breakfast and then do a proper post.

This sunshine is fab.

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2015 10:23

Crikey Shop that's terrible, how scary.

Good luck Amber

Ujj love the sound of your dress, I haven't found anything like that yet but keep meaning to go to Liberty.

Lib how's day two of your break?

Blair I thought but maybe hangover, not pg. usually when people say antibiotics not drinking I'll think it. Then again they could just be on abs.

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2015 10:25

Linus you are uber chic and naturally gorgeous never let the f word pass your lips again

QueenC love those

QueenCardigan · 19/07/2015 10:44

Ha ha amber I forgot you had the party. Can't dh dress up as elsa instead?

Just managed a snooze on the sofa whilst little one watched about 1000 episodes of topsy and tim and the elders played minecraft. I'm such a role model Grin. Just about to make a picnic to head off to the beach to pick up dh after a 70 mile bike ride!

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2015 10:45

My round up

Shop totally rocks longer hair and looked amazing in black Ganni
Stokey looked as pretty as I remember and looks too good with the orange bag for hoc to be followed
QueenC fabulous with shorter hair
Mara I adore your equipment dress, it's perfect for you,tempted to get one but probably sold out
Dry looking amazing in body con
Amber totally hot in all black
Sleep fresh and gorgeous in tanks
Novice amazing in zebra.

It's funny that feels like it took ages to write, that there were loads of us.

Was fab to do it, bring on the next one.

shopafrolic · 19/07/2015 10:45

It will always be abs if I ever say it Marsha Grin
