Hello, it is pretty autumnal here. Am wearing my fave Asos thea jeans, red pointy flats, Uniqlo silk polka dot shirt and a burgundy cardigan for going out.

Queen I've never looked at Icons, it seems not v user friendly. I don't really look at WIT anymore, I used to always check it.

Love your shopping btw.

Ooh Dry I missed the new job thing - congratulations. Is it in a new field?

Good luck with uni Mara. Smythson writing folder sounds lovely but see your concern about being the show off mature student!

Blingy what did you choose for the wedding in the end and did it meet MILs approval? not that it should

Lara you should get those Marant trainers (in black!) - I think they would suit a lot of things you have linked recently.

Marsha I love the R & B durham boots.

Hello all. Good to see the hacking stuff has calmed down a bit, I thought about name changing but couldn't be bothered (and like being called Blair at MUs) :)

One well done on your result for the year!

Congratulations Georgina, what lovely news, hope you have had some snuggly cuddles.

Amber the Chanel is perfect for you, well done Grin

QueenC I check in to Wardrobe Icons Update every now and then. It's written like a school project. Think they make any money through affiliate links (which the whole of the "icons" part of the site is based around, people clicking through and buying). They may also advertise on it but I block ads so can't see.

Recent purchases...
Finery top for tucking into pencil skirts and wide leg trousers
Turtleneck jumpers from Uniqlo in navy and coral rib.
Knitwear ahoy!

Fedup have a great time. Do you have a cami to wear under the silk shirt?

I've missed loads and this post is long, so waves to everyone else too.

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 12:26

blair I've also been on a knitwear buying spree - turtlenecks and sleeveless 90s style numbers.. Perfect for tucking into pencil skirts and trousers for work..

Had a bit of a spree, thank goodness I only generally do designer bags and sunnies as I'd be bankrupt!

Just bought these - I barely look at Next anymore but spotted these in InStyle or similar on a recent flight to Greece...

Also bought:

Trilby

Cami which is gorgeous but the chain was broken so I've re-ordered..

Messenger bag still to arrive..

These ballerinas in both colours..

Denim shirt and oversize shirt

Tank channelling Marni Grin

Coat

French Connection dress

Mango dress

[[http://shop.mango.com/redirect.faces?op=conta&producto=43017011 Mango sandals] thought think these may be for next year now!

Also, interested in opinions on these boots - just not sure.. Thought they'd be good for a cheap pair for running about in... any opinions??

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 12:41

Also these M&S booys from another thread.. I think I like them.. What do you think? It's probably the fact they are M&S that makes me doubt.. And not sure how I feel about wooden heels..

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 12:49

Aw no I've pondered over the M&S boots too long and now they're sold out.. Please come on and tell me you all hate them!! Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/09/2015 13:01

Shame about the M&S boots. I like them, very versatile! (Sorry :))

Wow on the Zara haul too. Especially like the trilby and coat.

MarshaBrady · 02/09/2015 14:17

A quick one as am in store. Any thoughts on Rag&Bone Devon? Are they too plain?

KittyHello · 02/09/2015 14:19

Love your Zara haul Happy Zara has become one of those shops that I can't be arsed trawling through but after seeing some of your purchases from there I feel I should give it another go. Love the French Connection dress.

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 14:23

blair !!! Grin

Thanks kitty I am a bit Zara crazy.. Only online though... Quality can be a bit hit and miss but think there's always some interesting stuff on there.. Plus they add stock ALL THE TIME and make me spend the bastards

Karcheer · 02/09/2015 14:26

Marsha I like them, I had a black pair of boots with that finish before I got my black pistols, I much preferred the finish to plain leather.

MarshaBrady · 02/09/2015 14:28

Yes it looks like a sturdy finish Karcheer. Trying on these moto ones too but not sure

Karcheer · 02/09/2015 14:32

They are nice too, but totally different look. I'd like some biker boots but I'd need them in brown.

LinusLovesBretons · 02/09/2015 14:35

I love the first ones marsha but I do love plain, unfussy things.

Impressive Zara haul happy! It has reminded me to order some kids stuff online for the DC.

MarshaBrady · 02/09/2015 14:41

Yes me too, they also have brown Devon but I think in this instance I prefer black, although I usually avoid black, black or brown?

Larastheme · 02/09/2015 14:43

Hello lovelies!

Just read the most disturbing news , kermit and miss piggy have called it quits Sad, a small part of my childhood just died,

mara, I'm not sure if the marant store in st Germain is the flagship one,but when I'm in Paris I'm usually in that area a lot, do some of my work around there too,so its a win win situation for me, but if dh is staying at the 8th, then the one in the 16th is the closest to him,depending on which area of the 8th he is in, also the concessions in the le bon marche are excellent, their etoile concession has a great stock, their shoes department is very impressive.
kitty yes, I miss the lazy mornings too,holidays might be challenging ,but its a breeze compared to the whole school run/ drop off, various activities etc,
queen, I only look at icons when it gets linked on S&b ,so far twice! I honestly have no idea what its all about, recently have found magazines more interesting, maybe because I stopped buying for a while. So everything looks so refreshing!

bernice, I'm not a huge fan of trainers, but really like the black ones and calf hair ones,very similar to marshas , but can't bring myself to buy them!

happy they actually look very nice, maybe you can find them in store?

Am I mad to to like this dress? Grin It's just so whimsical, bordering on sweet, but it has an edge of toughness to it.

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 15:01

YAY Grin the boots just showed again as 'low stock' and I've ordered well the 6 1/2 did and I'm just a 6 but I can always shove an insole in

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 15:04

lara that dress is not my style at all but if you can carry that style off then it could be interesting! Grin

Sorry does anyone have any opinions on these Zara boots as not sure whether to keep....

Karcheer · 02/09/2015 15:06

I like the leather and suede and the chunky zipper, but I can't see a good picture of the front looks like that could be a funny shape?

Karcheer · 02/09/2015 15:07

lara I don't like the dress either but it's very far from my style. On the right person it would be cool.

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 15:12

Thanks karcheer appreciate the opinion.. Think the front is ok, sort of almond shaped.. I think I was more worried re zip but it looks quite nice I think, not brassy gold.. And they're pretty cheap..

Karcheer · 02/09/2015 15:14

I like the zipper, think it makes the shoe :)

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 15:25

Fab Grin I thought so too was just worried others might think it looked cheap.. Glad it doesn't..

QueenofCardigans · 02/09/2015 15:28

happy don't like the boots I'm afraid as I think the zip looks cheap but may look different irl
lara not keen on the dress at all. Sorry....
marsha I like either in black. Not a fan of brown.
fedup what did you pack? Surely it's the underwear that counts, not what you wear on top Wink

LinusLovesBretons · 02/09/2015 15:34

I would always go for black marsha but you know what you'd wear them with better.

lara that dress is just too much for me. I love the colours but the rest is just too busy.

happy I prefer black boots to be suede or some kind of textured leather not smooth leather as it can look a bit too harsh imo. probably also because I hate polishing shoes

HappyGirlNow · 02/09/2015 15:34

Aarghhh now I'm in a quandary lol
