all of us winters. What a heavenly colour

QueenCardigan · 09/08/2015 10:32

I'm in love

QueenCardigan · 09/08/2015 10:34

for one

MyVegasBaby · 09/08/2015 11:10

Love those Louboutins Queen!

Stokey · 09/08/2015 11:35

There's a programme on about Louboutin on Tuesday night on c4, looks interesting.

Loving the links QueenC. I haven't dared stand on the scales yet.

Anyone got any good tips for getting chlorine stains out of swimwear? I think the pool at our last villa was heavily chlorined as everything has gone yellow despite rinsing every evening. T'internet says white vinegar but all I've got is white balsamic, I know first world problems.

AmberNectarine · 09/08/2015 13:22

Great links as ever QC - particularly like the Rick Owens cuff. Have been refining my A/W wishlist lately - will start hitting the button at the end of the month when I get back from hols.

OOTD - cropped orange halter neck, denim high waist shorts and leopard lace up espadrilles.

QueenCardigan · 09/08/2015 13:34

stokey ours are ?ellow too but I had to throw loads out as they'd gone all stretched and threadbare after only two weeks. I haven't washed the other stuff yet. I purposely didn't wear my good bikini in the second pool as could see how ?ellow the kids stuff was getting.

3 loads of washing done so far and still loads to do. The beach towels are minging!

BrandyAlexander · 09/08/2015 13:36

Glad you had such great hols Stokey and QueenCSmile

Stokey try vanish in the wash to get the chlorine stains out.

I love the Christopher Kane top but Omg I love love the skirt even more. The top and skirt with shoe boots would be such a great date night outfit.

I really need to do a major clear out of wardrobe otherwise I won't be buying anything new this winter as I have very little space!

OneLittleLady · 09/08/2015 14:22

love that skirt queenc

bought another bag yesterday in camden.this one has swallows on it.also picked up a little something fo dps birthday this week in the comic store.its nothing big as he has already had his main present which was a concert ticket.hoping to actually get some new music written this week.hoping inspiration will strike!!

im not shopping much really bought a few bags but i really had very few suitable for me so they were needed and a few cardigans which again were needed.trying to save myself more for a/w shopping where i generally have a better hit rate than in summer

Topazandpearl · 09/08/2015 15:24

Love the Bottega Veneto blouse Queen, as long as it can be worn with the neck more open and tied lower down. Also love the Gucci colour and the Christopher Kane (the green one not that awful jumper -what were they thinking??)

Did our first shop for the imminent new house today - kitchen table and chairs on order - very exciting!

shopafrolic · 09/08/2015 17:31

Novice PLEASE let me come to your house to help with your wardrobe clear out - genuine request.

shopafrolic · 09/08/2015 18:10

And it's not because I want your clothes (they wouldn't fit for starters). I just think I could be good at it Smile

AmberNectarine · 09/08/2015 18:32

Can I come too? It would be like in SATC where carrie tries on all her outfits and the others get pissed and hold up Yes/No signs.

LinusDKD · 09/08/2015 19:00

Oh yes, I'd be up for that but might get drunk on the bubbles and pass out in your guest bedroom

maradesbois · 09/08/2015 19:36

Helloo,

Haven't been around for a few days, guests staying which was lovely but hectic so happy to be relaxing in the garden now enjoying the amazing weather. Love our new area so much, very posh, neighbours are bbqing lobster and smoking cigars!

Glad you had great hols Stokey and QueenC. No idea about chlorine stains sorry.

Marsha have an amazing time. Saw a woman at the park today who looked just like you and with a daughter who was a mini-you. Very random.

Have done a bit of shopping this week despite saying I was sick of sale dregs. Will link separately as don't want to lose post but got an olive green splendid playsuit in shopbop final clearance sourced by the lovely Linus plus have ordered a black silk dress by Raoul from the Outnet extra 30% off they seem to do every weekend atm.

BrandyAlexander · 09/08/2015 20:19

Grin at Shop Amber and Linus. If I am ever that organised, you're on,Grin I actually think the reason I haven't bought much in ss15 was just trying to imagine where the hell it would all go. Yup, First world problems.

Waves to Mara and everyone elseSmile

maradesbois · 09/08/2015 20:49

to novice Smile

playsuit - love this, wore it yesterday, a great summer throw-on and bargain at £25ish (shopbop so some tax to pay too but still an amazing discount).

maradesbois · 09/08/2015 20:50

Oops forgot link playsuit

maradesbois · 09/08/2015 20:54

dress. Have been pondering this for a while so extra 30% off enticed me to click.

shopafrolic · 09/08/2015 21:07

Love both of those for you Mara but especially the dress.
Love my new Birkenstocks - they aren't just silver, they are almost holographic. Make me smile for something so boring.
Whoever next travels to the States and can visit a J Crew please let me know - casts glance in Novice's direction. I need another basic grey v neck linen tee and am desperate to get my hands on the silver one.

Does anyone know of any good places to look for floor lamps? I want something that is oak with a cream shade. Was considering a tripod style but not sure.......

BrandyAlexander · 09/08/2015 21:17

Hi honey, I am in the U.S. each month for next 4 months. I can definitely get it for you in the November trip as am there the whole week. The others are quick 48 trips like I did last month. I will check out where I am staying in September and see if I am likely to be shopping!

BrandyAlexander · 09/08/2015 21:23

Love that play suit Mara. It may be a booze addled memory but I think you wore a play suit to a previous MU and looked lovely.

BrandyAlexander · 09/08/2015 21:32

It's a bit embarrassing to look on pin and realise there are things I own that still have the labels on.BlushBlushBlush For example, if dh knew I had spent £1500 on just these four items (below) and not worn them yet, he would have a heart attack!

This Armani jacket

Jaeger coat

Armani vest which I own in Ivory and black. Neither have seen light of day.
