Ooh Novice tell us more.

That sheep neck brace is unreal, it's like a Roald Dahl Revolting Rhyme when things turned out badly for Mary's little lamb. And loving the Herr Flick night out image Lib.

Love the bag 3GG. Gorgeous colour, I definitely prefer it to the other two.

I'm lying in bed with stomach cramps after getting period this morning, only 24 days since last one, bah, but hoping it will make me less snappy for the last 2 weeks of the hols.

libertydoddle · 23/08/2015 12:25

Poor you stokey. Hope you feel better soon and hope novice has sourced the paracetamol and Brew Smile

Great links QueenC. Especially love the Chloe bag - gorgeous.

Great bag gas. V v you I think.

shop Flowers for the Ines heads up. It always sell out quickly. Need to have a proper browse but looks v me. I might try out a beret.

Was v quiet here yesterday. Hope everyone enjoyed the sun. We had a great day in Bournemouth. Couldn't get DD out of the sea. She was exhausted but the little devil still woke at 5.30am this morning Hmm I have a little bit of colour now which is nice.

Have good Sundays. As it's raining we are off to the library. Exciting!!!!!!!

Longislandicetee · 23/08/2015 12:25

Feel much better.

Have name changed. It should be obvious who I am even to the lurkers but just retiring my other name for a while.

Went to a wedding yesterday and had such a great time. Really good and old friend of dh so knew lots of people. Child free so we could just be us as a couple. Great fun! It was also very similar to our own wedding. My main instruction to the waiting staff was that nobody was to have an empty glass at any time either during the champagne reception or the wedding breakfast. I think our friends must have done the same. I think I might have had about 7 glasses of champers before we sat down for the wedding breakfast because they just kept refilling the glass. Blush.

I wore this Coast dress which is an oldie which I have worn twice before and love. The picture is of my accessories (except watch and hat). Wore with my Hermes diamond watch and pearl bracelet (present from dmil ages ago) which matched the dress, gorgeous matching hat. The diamond ring doesn't get much of an outing but love it so wearing it again today. I went with brown heels and then matched the bag to it. When I saw the groom he said "great bag, bet you spent ages in your dressing room choosing it". He knows me well. Grin.

Dh looked so yummy in his tails. He was on great form, life and soul of the party. He is a great dancer (quite a sexy one too) so always attracts loads of people who want to dance with him. We had such a great time dancing. Someone told us to get a room. Grin.

Great name change Blingy. Sounds like a good night.

I might have to rethink my name change as not sure I want to be known as 'gas' Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/08/2015 14:18

Hello all Smile we arrived at our holiday home yesterday and are having a lovely time. The weather has turned a bit, had a massive storm last night, but DNs are still making us go in the pool which is where I'm headed. A lot of wine and cheese is being consumed!

Blingy sounds fantastic and love the name change!

Gas yes I think I called you 3GG but that just sounded like a strange bra size Grin

Waves to all and Wine too.

libertydoddle · 23/08/2015 14:40

blingy sounds like a great day. Love the new name.

Grin gas! I loved your last name. Really suited you. Can you adapt it a bit?

shopafrolic · 23/08/2015 14:43

Gah! All these name changes! Head hurry Grin

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 15:30

I think Gas is funny Grin.....I never even noticed your previous name change, thought it was a newbie dim

nearly garrotted self with one of those bloody multi way bras earlier....really they should carry a h and s warning Grin

blingy bare with me, name changes are giving me a headache too magazin you looked fabulous, I adore that dress on you, beautiful. 7 glasses of champ before food, I'd have been falling over Shock

I really need a "do", am feeling dress/heel withdrawl. Sick of jeans.

Pleeeeeeeeease tell ME it will be sunny in London next week. Thunder storms and unbelievable rain yesterday. Beautiful though today.

Saw a lady in ankle length grey trousers with turn up, loafers, white shirt.......a look I want for work, wish I'd asked where she got her trousers.

QueenC love those 2 blouses. If I won the lottery my wardrobe would be filled with classic French designers, and a few Italian.

shopafrolic · 23/08/2015 17:33

When will you be in London Dry?
Shite weather today. Plans with DS and friends got cancelled, DH is being a miserable fucker (probably because I am a miserable fucker) so we've had an lousy day.
Wearing (to feel miserable) Hush Breton and GAP denim boyfriend shorts. Dull right?
I am seriously willing Autumn to be hear now. Fed up with this non committal summer shite.
P.S. Am on the gin
Oh and Lib (or have you NC'd too?) I have realised I am without bank card for the next few working days. Keep your fingers crossed it arrives before Tues!

onemightywizard · 23/08/2015 17:41

shop i am thoroughly miserable as well, this nasty muggy oppresive heat we've got here today is making my joints swell and ache and has given me a horrible headache which won't shift . once it rains it will be better but i'm feeling pretty sorry for myself right now tbh.

really not feeling inspired fashion wise, everything in the shops is really not 'me' at all, lovely for people with the right colouring though but just not for me at all.

going to mil's tomorrow to do some sewing so hopefully my dress will be nearly finished and i can wear it soon which i'm looking forward to.

oh, and the door front on my washing machine is dmaged so i'm going to have to fork out for a new machine before it goes completely and causesme major problems. Not something i was expecting so had majorly disrupted my budgeting for the next few months but it can't be ignored or it might end up costing me more in the long run than it will to just buy a new machine in the first place.

MarshaBrady · 23/08/2015 17:47

I had an actual afternoon snooze today. I haven't done that for ages. Feel so wiped out right now though, which is probably why I never do.

I am lamenting the loss of summer days, had an idea that I could take off for one more summer fling, and drag Shop along Grin but I can only do a swish enough one sans familia or a budget one with them so I guess I like being around them enough not to do it. and not keen on a budget one. Although might look into really short, close breaks if this rain persists too much.

Dry weather looks pants this week, hence my plans for above.

Blingy sounds like a great time. Loved the outfit.

Lovely bag Gas yes maybe another nickname, gas is so not you! We need = uber style

Shop love being on the gin

One hope things brighten up

Blair sounds lovely

Stokey hope you feel a bit better now?

The sun has just shone through the clouds. Going out now for some fresh air.

libertydoddle · 23/08/2015 17:55

Flowers for one and shop. Hope you both feel better soon.

I am still liberty! Just a minor name change. I think I am going to change it slightly on a regular basis from now on but will keep the liberty bit.

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:09

Come on MN Voguettes......."miserable" "shite" "fuckers".....it may be horrid out, summer might be nearly over, but it's AUTUMN soon Grin the season of boots, scarves, knitwear and coats YIPEE....can't bloody wait I'm sick of shaving my legs all the time and the smell of St Tropez makes me feel sick

Shop you need a BIG DRY HUG, but you're fantastic when you're pissed off quite like the sound of your outfit....at least it's warm enough to have shorts on

I'm in London Tue-Fri, will include another pilgrimage to Brighton with DD.

Have poured myself a gin too...cheers Smile

MarshaBrady · 23/08/2015 18:11

Vogue cheers. [fizz] Gin Thanks

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:14

Shop have you tried Fever Tree tonic? Apparently it's the new great thing up here at least, means it hit London in 2012!!! nice, attractive packaging but can't really taste the difference.

And......Monica V friendship bracelets. Does the gold come off? It's 18 C plated. I'd love one to wear with my gold bangle and layered with other maybe the H if I ever bite the bullet .

MarshaBrady · 23/08/2015 18:19

I will never like Fever Tree as much as the shhh of Schweppes. And it's everywhere in London. A friend who likes gin and tonic as much as I do is in agreement. Out with the Fever T!

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:26

Yey Marsha I knew it was gin snobbery Grin I like the Shweppes with a twist of lime personally, no ice cold person

Gin brand? I know Shop has her lovely local one. I'm not fussy. Am working my way through a local brand, but Gordon's, B Sapphire all goid. Must try Hendricks.

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:28

Btw I'm having a dry week. But have decided this means less wine than last week and gin doesn't count because it hasn't any calories Grin

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:30

Shoe porn time ooh you sexy thing....really

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:33

heaven

shopafrolic · 23/08/2015 18:34

Dry you can buy my orange Monica off me if you want. I got a brand new one 6 months ago as plating had worn slightly so replaced within guarantee. Only worn once since.....

shopafrolic · 23/08/2015 18:36

In terms of gin have had Hendricks today - only serve with Cucumber never lemon. Williams Chase also yummy.
We use Fevertree tonic but am not sure I can taste the difference although o love the botanicals one.
Apologies for swearing outburst - so non Vogue - but hate DH today and am not even due on.

Drywhitethanks · 23/08/2015 18:40

love a t bar

Isn't yours rose gold though Shop ? Love rose but everything I have is yellow. Would be v interested if yellow. Why haven't you worn it?

Swearing was funny
