nice maxi

MarshaBrady · 21/07/2015 10:24

Thank you! Lovely and so nice to see, makes me Smile

So glad I'm home in the sun reading Peter Carey while the dc play. Beats being anywhere else right now ie work Out tonight, Thursday and Saturday. Feels like a week off work to laze around and celebrate. Definitely going to remember this as the way to do it.

Could do a last minute order tomorrow on premium delivery for Thursday.

a bit bright but I like it!

Stokey · 21/07/2015 11:34

Gosh am in a bit of a quandry as to how much to take on holiday. We're going for 2 weeks and it's going to be hot. One week in hotels by the beach and one week in villa. So far I have :
3 bikinis
3 beach cover ups
4 day dresses (3 of which would be OK at night)
Denim shorts, knee length skirt & maxi skirt
5 tops - 2 shirts, 2 Tees and one boho peasant type
2 dresses - 1 midi, 1 knee length for evening and 1 jumpsuit that I've never worn.
Oh and flip flops, Gigi's and Sam E Trina's.

I think I've got too much, help!

MyVegasBaby · 21/07/2015 12:05

Stokey I have far more, but I'm terrible and always overpack! We are away for 2 weeks too in a small apartment complex with a pool in a small resort. Days will be beach or pool and walks to the harbour for lunches some days. Evenings will be drinks and dinner at local tavernas. I have tried to be organised and have written a list as packing really stresses me out.
I have 4 bikinis, 1 swimsuit, 3 kaftan type things, 2 day dresses, denim shorts and a multitude of vest/bandeau tops for the day.
For evening I too have a jumpsuit I've never worn (!), 5 dresses, black chino shorts, one pair of cropped jeans and 3 tops. Oh and far too many sandals! Luckily the DC won't need all of their luggage allowance Smile

shopafrolic · 21/07/2015 12:34

Just ordered - another one I've been lusting after for a long long time.

That makes me feel better MyVegas.

Let's both try and wear the jumpsuits and compare notes on return Grin. Mine was given to me a year ago and still has tags on so needs to be worn or chucked.

Black chino shorts is what my holiday wardrobe is missing I think, otherwise I'm quite coordinated this year in mainly black, white, navy with a touch of green and red.

My DC are still small so we will be mainly eating in at night but there is some kids entertainment at the hotels.

bettykt · 21/07/2015 13:18

Stoked I can thoroughly recommend the Boden Chino shorts. When are you off as they deliver pretty quickly, even on a Saturday.

Happy birthday Marsha hope you're having a great day, love the gingham dress btw, reckon you'd look fab in it.

bettykt · 21/07/2015 13:20

Obviously that was meant to be Stokey

Here's a link to the shorts:

black Boden shorts

I've just ordered a white pair as they are so flattering. The JCrew ones sadly weren't.

Happy Birthday Marsha Smile Wine Cake

MyVegasBaby · 21/07/2015 13:58

The black shorts for evening are a new venture for me this year, I got mine from Gap and delivery was very quick Gap Shorts have got / very bright tops and a black lace type vest as options for on top.
I normally take lots of cropped jeans and then get hot and bothered so have gone for shorts, dresses or the jumpsuit this year.

AmberNectarine · 21/07/2015 14:06

I got some black chino shorts from H&M for £7.99. They are SHORT though, not for the faint hearted!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/07/2015 14:42

Happy birthday Marsha! Cake Star Wine Flowers Glad to hear you're having a lovely day, and hope you have fun tonight.

I've just been out to lunch at Cote and yet eaten NO carbs today... But still feel horribly bloated and uncomfortable. I gave in yesterday and spent £30 on a load of probiotics, I hope they help me because I'm sure there's something up with my insides . (STILL NOT PREGNANT THOUGH! Grin)

Stokey that sounds like a really good amount for 2 weeks to me! My holiday isn't for 4.5 weeks but I might start doing a list.

Nice jumper shop, love all your recent buys you linked yesterday. Outnet clearance seemed a bit meh to me so glad you got something.

LinusDKD · 21/07/2015 15:19

Happy Birthday marsha!

Ujjayi · 21/07/2015 15:25

Urgh. Had a good mooch around Monsoon/Accessorize and TK Maxx and neither had anything remotely okay in store. DS is being brilliantly patient with me - although I had just sat through Ant Man as a pre-shop reward!

Off to trawl the Outnet, ASOS and Monsoon online.

OneLittleLady · 21/07/2015 15:33

blair do you or could you be suffering with a bout of IBS? is there anything in particular you can think that you've eaten or had to drink that could be triggering it? i get very similar symptoms and i do have IBS as well as sensitivity to both gluten and lactose. Onions and anything in that family are a big trigger for me and leave me with major bloating and cramps among other things. perhaps keep a food diary and see if there's any patterns to the issue? just a thought

I bought a couple of long tight vests to wear under my new harry potter crop top. No one needs to actually see my stomach but I'll be happy enough wearing it with a longer vest underneath, I think even if i was all toned and everything, i'd still be self conscious about showing my body off Smile

BerniceBobsHerHair · 21/07/2015 15:49

Just been having a browse at summer stuff.

I like these shorts from Boden.

I am quite drawn to this dress

Agree the outnet sale is pretty meh, though I like the jumper you bought Shop.
