Marsha just saw the r&b boots you linked, they're lovely.

Dh bought a belt at hermès, while waiting I spent a happy moment admiring the riding boots. They are so gorgeous but so £££. One day, one day...

MarshaBrady · 01/09/2015 13:41

Yes agree on all Mara! Love those riding boots, one day for me too, Newburys too high for me in the day, will go to Sloane Squ.

Psst if you saw those R&B boots somewhere other than Liberty let me know and I'll be there in a flash. Grin

QueenofCardigans · 01/09/2015 15:18

One. More. Day. I am now literally rocking in a corner trying to regain my sanity Grin. I'll be tearful wreck when the little one starts but right now it can't come soon enough.

My boots and jumper arrived today. Love, love, love.

QueenofCardigans · 01/09/2015 15:19

boots

QueenofCardigans · 01/09/2015 15:21

jumper

QueenofCardigans · 01/09/2015 15:29

Both ridiculously priced but I got given some extra money so just went for both things were on my birthday list.

I don't normally wear jumpers but now have 3 so I'm sorted. On the list now is...
Grey blazer/jacket
Grey coat if I can find the perfect one last years is virtually perfect but too small really but bought as v v reduced
Navy/grey scarf
Coloured leather gloves
Grey blouse or two
Navy going out top

Will try and stick to the list although sometimes it's fun to go off piste.

Capucine00 · 01/09/2015 15:50

I have come home and out the heating on... I cannot believe that I have done that and its not even fall! I am loooking at pics of my luckier enjoying the sun, sitting outside and I am shivering and eyeing up my woolly hose.

On another note, I have ordered a pair of Harley biker boots with delicate lattice weave leather panels. Yes, I realise that 'delicate' and 'HD' are not two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence but their boots aren't all utilitarian stompabouts. They do gorgeous gorgeous things and they last.

GeorginaWorsley · 01/09/2015 16:04

Queen
I love your Mint Velvet purchases.
I have a lot of there stuff and am always pleased with it.
My wardrobe is mainly blue and grey so that shop suits me!

Larastheme · 01/09/2015 16:54

queen I love,love that MV sweater, looks so cosy,

Would like to share my admiration for the hermes jumping boots, and another one day here too, and would love to add a Kelly danse bag < sadly discontinued,> to my hermes wish list.

mara I love the marant store in rue Jacob,have bought from them recently,
marsha, love the boots ,I almost bought R&B newburys, last year,but read how uncomfortable they wore,so ended up getting the marant crisi instead,

Want some new boots too,as My beloved jimmy choo bikers, are dying, but don't want to get biker ones, love the chloe ones I linked,but not the most practical choice, but oh so me!!

Bought American harpers bazaar today ,looks like a good one, they have a very interesting and amusing piece about Karl lagerfeld PA, I've seen pics of him with Karl but never knew who he was, his girlfriend is one lucky lady,for obvious reasons Wink, but imagine your boyfriend working for KL,just imagine all the freebies!! not the Karl lagerfeld line freebies those are crap, but the chanel ones althought she belongs to the courtin clarins family,so I presume she can afford but I don't think there is anyone out there who would decline a gift from chanel Wink

Raining here today,wearing white VB tennis sweater,with skinny Stella M black trousers, felt like I need those marant black trainers! But ended up wearing black bottega veneta flats,

Drywhitethanks · 01/09/2015 17:56

my clutch arrived today love school holidays, there's always a teenager in to receive my deliveries and its a keeper. Will use it a lot.

DD helped me cull my clutch bag box Sad nothing like a blunt teenager to make you get rid of stuff Grin. My handbags are very reduced now,just keeping the good ones. Have photocopied the card that the SA at Longchamp gave me to give to Dh with all the details of the red bag, Just Incase it gets lost Hmm before December.

QueenC great purchases. Love the star jumper.

Drywhitethanks · 01/09/2015 18:11

darn,my finger is twitching great for work, Need t save for London shopping trip

LinusLovesBretons · 01/09/2015 18:23

That is a lovely dress dry. Very you and me Wink

queenc that Mint Velvet jumper is gorgeous.

lara my Choo bikers will enter their third winter and I hope they'll last me for many more winters as I live in them durimg winter and none of their current finishes appeal to me.

GeorginaWorsley · 01/09/2015 18:33

Ha dry I was thinking the same re deliveries!

KittyHello · 01/09/2015 20:28

Queen you're post about one more day currently sums up my life atm.Grin Dc driving me bonkers and school is most definitely calling, but I'm not looking forward to school, school run, cold, wet playground, homework, after school clubs, etc. Love the boots and jumper, just the things I would buy.

Dry great dress.

Lara loved your musings about KL's PA and Chanel goodies. I believe every woman should have some Chanel in her life even if it's just a lipstick. Ages ago I saved up all my Boots points and spent them on Chanel goodies - felt great. wish Boots did bags Grin

Capucine heating wow must've been cold, cooler her but not heating on weather - I am hardcore Wink

AmberNectarine · 01/09/2015 20:34

Ordered some Frye short black studded cowboy boots today. Have really struggled choosing boots - almost bought another pair of togas but went with these for a bit of a change. US shoe sizing screws me up though, hope they fit.

Assuming boots are ticked off, all I want to get now are trainers, the Whistles teddy coat (holding out for Grazia code) and a Bella Freud sweater. Then I should be broadly sorted for AW.

Longislandicetee · 01/09/2015 20:37

Hello Voguettes! I decided it was autumn today so dressed accordingly Grin. Wore Hobbs knitted dress with RB ballet flats and yellow Nancy. I haven't done mega bling for a long while so decided to go for it - i had Gucci watch, tanzanite and diamond ring and the sapphire and diamond bracelet dh got me for Xmas last year. Blingy is back. Grin.

Love lots of the links today and over the long weekend. Weirdly none of it is making me buy. Normally at this time, the coffers are feeling empty if you believe dh but not this year, and still nothing! Dry's twitch fingers clearly not catching! (Glad you love the bag!).

QueenofCardigans · 01/09/2015 22:36

Evening all. Just had a lovely evening out but was not at all happy with my outfit. Not sure why but this particular combination of the blouse, boots, jeans didn't work.
betty years ago I saved my boots points for a chanel nail polish. Was so happy to finally own something chanel. Biggest bloody disappointment of my life. Chipped within seconds. Next chanel purchase will be a bag!
dry when's your london shopping trip?

libertydoddle · 01/09/2015 22:42

Lovely MV buys QueenC. I actually tried those boots on in the taupe colour the other day but decided they were too pale.

Drywhitethanks · 01/09/2015 23:09

12 Sept QueenC.....can't wait. I'm doing well with London trips at the moment. Will probably spend the next 2 weeks dithering about what to wear in the evening Sandro black dress is at the top of the list

Have been looking through my wardrobe , I have a lot of black dresses, why do I feel most me in them? bit depressing DM told me she doesn't wear black near her face because it's ageing. It's so easy, must stop buying black dresses......and black shoes, daren't admit to how many pairs of black heels I have Blush......is it because I'm "classic"? Hmm

maradesbois · 01/09/2015 23:50

Dry nothing wrong with sticking with what you love, think it's just that you know what works for you. You definitely suit the groomed classic look and new bag will be a fab addition to your going out wardrobe.

Lara do you know any of the other Marant Paris stores, is rue Jacob the flagship one? I'll never get Dh to go to the 7th or the Marais but maybe Victor Hugo as he mostly works in 8th.

Glad to hear that Blingy is back in full force for autumn!

QueenC am another admirer of your new buys. Like your grey & navy colour scheme too.

Have a lovely crisp (real) Vogue September issue waiting to be perused over a coffee as soon as school starts later this week. Love autumn back to school feeling as well as the colours and the food. Need to start preparing for uni, can't wait to go stationery shopping. Have seen a fab writing folder in Smythson sale that would coordinate with my pencil case but that may be a step to far. Don't want to be the show off mature student Grin.

KittyHello · 02/09/2015 07:35

Mara bet you can't wait to start uni. How exciting.

Dry there's no harm in sticking to the tried and tested model, especially when you know what suits you. Your lovely new clutch will slot in seamlessly to your wardrobe. Are you back to work elsewhere?

QueenC I bought Rouge Noir, after watching Pulp Fiction, and yes what awful nail polish. I couldn't believe how bad it was.

Still in bed. Am going to miss these lazy lie ins.

LinusLovesBretons · 02/09/2015 07:55

Morning!

It's sunny but chilly here so I've decided to embrace autumn. I'm wearing Tom Ford Rive d'Ambre as perfume and M&S five pocket jeggings and Rails (sooo soft!) shirt as OOTD.

marsha have you worn your new plaid shirt yet? I just love plaid and I might buy some more if I see a shirt I like.

dry I agree, wear whatever suits you and you feel good in, whether it's a classic or the newest trend.

mara sooo jealous of you! I remember after our mini MU coming home to DH and telling him all about your new course.

blingy I love how you really get passionate when you talk about your jewelry. You can tell you love wearing it!

Drywhitethanks · 02/09/2015 08:07

kitty new job,starts next week. Very excited.

QueenofCardigans · 02/09/2015 08:30

does anyone else not get wardobe icons? It's hardly ground breaking stuff. Do you really think they make money from it?

FedupNagging · 02/09/2015 10:05

Mara your stationery shopping sounds a lot nicer than the haul ds3 and I did in tesco's yesterday Grin. What course are you doing?

We also endured the hell that is Sports Direct for loads of pe/football kit - I needed a lie down in a dark room when I got home!

Agree that Chanel nail varnish is pretty rubbish. Love the lipsticks though.

Queen love those Mint velvet boots, great colour. Is it today your dc's are back at school. Hope the little one has a good first day.

Blingy glad the bling is back!

Fab bag Dry.

I have a huge hole in my wardrobe; Dh and I are going away for the night told him am not leaving until I've posted on MNV. We are staying in a 4* gastro pub hotel and its midweek so am guessing not massively dressy. Here's the thing, it's too autumnal for summer clothes and too warm for winter. I am going to wear my new flares with heels but struggling with tops. I really don't want to wear the pink BR shirt again, the silk Uniqlo is too see through, the Tory Burch shirt looks boring! Aagh

Got to go Dh is getting impatient and I still need to pack!
