Love the round up Dry

Blair'so sorry to hear you were unwell, gutting, hope you're starting to perk up now Flowers

libertychick · 18/07/2015 20:23

Great round up dry.

Hugs for Blair. Hope you feel better now.

LinusDKD · 18/07/2015 20:26

lol dry! I think I was wearing Gigis as well when I met marsha (who was wearing her powder blue Gianvito Rossis, I think)

I have never felt soooo small and dumpy compared to amazonian marsha. Grin

blair I hope you feel better soon! Such a shame you had to miss the MU!

Any handbag porn at the MU ladies?

DH has opened a half bottle of pink bubbles so I can continue my MNV toast whilst the crickets are making a lot of noise outside. Bliss!

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2015 20:39

Yes blair and lovely liberty you were missed Sad and all othe MU regular attendees

Ujjayi · 18/07/2015 20:52

Hi VoguettesSmile. I promised QueenC that I'd be back on the thread now that I've finished work for the summer. Looking forward to some frivolous style chat whilst the DCs ignore me!

Sounds like the MU is going well Wink Wish I was there with you all but the hair had to be sorted after months of neglect...I'm raising a glass of prosecco to you all.

Blair - sorry you are ill. Sounds awful. Feel better soon.

I'll try & catch up on news asap x

QueenCardigan · 18/07/2015 20:56

Ok, I'm a little tipsy and on a fast moving train so forgive my typing!
Had a fab day
dry had the best arse-I'm sure she won't thank me for saying so but such a good look in her dress
-shop loved the 60s look in the ganni. And I love the sam e sandals
-sleep. Kudos to wearing a bikini top/ you looked as glamorous as always
amber lovely to meet you properly. Love the choos. And love the fact that you are the only person I know who can rock a multi coloured bag
marsha as always gorgeous hair and legs and dedication by carrying flats to come in heels
mara\ living in a cool part of London and carrying a Hermes. And wearing a Hermes bracelet.
novive blinged up but as always looking natural. Shame her underwear didn't match the dress Wink

We drooled over a woman's pink prada and rock stud flats. Luckily her dh found us amusing I'm not sure she did

And now I'm desperately trying not to fall asleep and end up I deepest darkest Devon or Cornwall!

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2015 20:58

Ujjayi so good to see you! We missed you.

I'm home now and am going to get myself together to do justice to the round up, but it was soo good to see everyone.

shopafrolic · 18/07/2015 20:59

Waves to all from Kings X
Shared tube with Amber and had crop top envy all the way.
Such fun. Marsha wearing the GVs and looking fab. Novice I owe you..... Gorgeous in Michael Kors.
Dry fab arms and stunning Zara body on dress
QueenC looking fab in navy - shorter hair looks awesome
Stokey so good to get to meet you at last. Loved your Les Planetes
Sleep loved your necklaces. And the fab white BF jeans. Great on you.
Loved your silk Equipment dress Mara
I took my Pashli. And stroked (and nearly robbed Mara's Birkin)
Needed the fashion chat so much. So much fun x

ujjayi so good to have you back!

LinusDKD · 18/07/2015 21:08

The more you talk about the MU, the more I am envious.

I don't really have anyone IRL (apart from DM but we have very different styles) who I can talk fashion with like with all of you on MNV.

I guess that most stylish people IRL are just too perfectly turned out and/or cool and make me feel completely frumpy (oh no, the F word,) and insecure about myself. Which really is my problem and not their fault.

LinusDKD · 18/07/2015 21:09

ujjayi I saw some of the outfits you pinned and loved every one of them!

shopafrolic · 18/07/2015 21:11

God Linus frumpy is the last word I would use to describe you

shopafrolic · 18/07/2015 21:24

The woman at the next table was so stylish - didn't see her shoes but loved her top and hair. Hope I look as good when I hit her age...

QueenCardigan · 18/07/2015 21:26

I am so bored on this train and so want to be in my bed. The hangover is setting in.

limus you are not frumpy!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/07/2015 21:33

Hi Ujj! How are you?

Thanks everyone. I hate being sick. It felt like the worst hangover I've ever had, but I only had 4 drinks last night so even DH agreed something else must have been up.

LOVE the roundups. So jel of Birkin and Pashli! Dry's report made me laugh! Hope everyone gets home safe and awake. Grin

LinusDKD · 18/07/2015 21:33

Thanks shop and queenc! It means a lot to hear that.

I guess decades of feeling unattractive are still influencing the way I feel about myself even though I have more self confidence now than when when I was in my 'prime'.

I guess I envy people who are just effortlessly stylish (whatever their age, weight, etc) because I really have to make an effort and think carefully instead of throwing on something I found at the back of my wardrobe. Wink

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2015 21:34

Noooooo linus stop it! You're my style twin, we are not frumpy!!!!!!!!
So funny about the chic lady on table next to us, I missed her shoes Shock
QueenC I've had the dress for at least 3 yrs, worn it twice [shock{ will get it on more.

Where's the refreshment trolley ?

maradesbois · 18/07/2015 21:35

On the bus home, had a great time. Hair has gone curly in the rain gah. Everyone looked fab as has been said. Missed all the absent Voguettes (Blair, Linus, Lib, Betty, Topaz, Fedup to name but a few) but a lovely time was had.

Head is too fuzzy for details, just a few: Novice so suits M Kors, lovely to meet Amber properly, love the Choos, Shop so suits longer hair, Dry has killer arms and fab figure in bodycon black midi, Marsha gorgeous as ever, Stokey breaking hoc rules admirably with orange bag & rocked the bling with hipanema bracelet. Sleep great necklace layering, QueenC lovely in navy linen and pink nails.

Sorry for lack of punctuation, really tired and hungry, glad I bought some sourdough and cheese in our extortionate local deli this morning.

LinusDKD · 18/07/2015 21:36

Ok blair, I've had a few drinks so I'll be the first to say it even though everyone else has been thinking the same

Could it be that you're pregnant? Smile
