Shop love the cardigan for you, will look great.

One oh no, doesn't sound good.

libertydoddle · 04/09/2015 08:57

Big hugs one. That all sounds very difficult.

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 04/09/2015 09:21

One it sounds tough. Hope you are okay - is your sister still with you?

Good spot with those Jimmy Choo boots. Love it when lots of people order the same bargain.

Amber I would have loved a snoop in your shoe cupboard.

Mara I absolutely love those Marant boots.

Blair did you like your finery stuff?

Shop wow that cardigan is very similar to the Acne one.

I have bought and sent back 2 things to the outnet recently - both times I basically spent £5 for the privilege of trying something on Sad

Blingy you are a slim Kylie type Smile

Georgina you are being very sensible with the Boden flats. No point keeping if you know you won't wear them.

I wore mine yesterday, out for some drinks - with rolled up jeans, white top and check trench. Plus bright pink lipstick. I had to walk a bit and they held up surprisingly well. Will wear them again on Saturday to a party, with my Other Stories dress.

FedupNagging · 04/09/2015 09:38

Oh dear One sorry you are having such a horrid time Flowers

Loving the sound of yours and DD's outfits Blingy

Fab cardigan Shop - you are lovely and tall so will look fab in it.

Thanks for the advice on leopard print shoes Dry; my black ponyskin shoes still look ok but I've not worn them overly much.

I have had a summer of over indulgence - lots of meals out, parties etc so as a few of my clothes were feeling a little ahem snug, weighed myself Shock Shock Shock. so, I will not be purchasing any items of clothing until my waistline is back under control.

However, shoes and bags don't count!

I need to replace my ruined canvas supergas and intended on Stans however I have been mindful of Marsha's dilemma and will save white pumps until next spring. So, I have my eye on this little lot:
Navy leather

Black leather

These are possibly my favourite but was hoping to keep sub £100

Love these - but are they too much? I figure they'd look great with blue and black jeans.

FedupNagging · 04/09/2015 09:43

Oh, forgot to mention those gorgeous purple Choo's - did you get the purple coat in the end Amber?

Loving all these fashionista 4 and 6 year olds!

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 04/09/2015 09:47

I like the snake print ones Fedup - they would look good as you describe.

What about these?

MarshaBrady · 04/09/2015 09:51

I like the last two links most Fedup and think you could do the snake print.

Having a 'transitional' shoe is fab, I've got to say. I've swapped from ballet flats to the Marant trainers and it's great in this weather.

AmberNectarine · 04/09/2015 09:59

LOVE the snake print ones fedup. I've not yet ordered the coat - holding out for a Grazia code. Definitely going to get it though.

onemightywizard · 04/09/2015 11:22

thanks to all, i'm okay, more shocked than anything that being shouted at over the bins escalated so much and ended up with police involvement. not really how i expected my day to go!

safetyzone · 04/09/2015 12:26

Hugs to one

Sorry I'm not catching up very well on this thread, and I should make more effort checking in!

Just quickly, has anyone used Grabble the app? This is seriously addictive for clothes shopping!

Grabble

FedupNagging · 04/09/2015 13:01

Thanks for the snake print love - am leaning towards those. What is the Ash sizing like? I have wide feet so guessing may need to size up.

FedupNagging · 04/09/2015 13:04

Forgot to say I also love the Jigsaw ones you linked Bernice but have just purchased blue loafers from Jigsaw so probably ought to plump for a different colour.

Longislandicetee · 04/09/2015 13:33

Afternoon all! Spending most of the day travelling. Wedding outfit is packed. So final choice was.....

the DvF Bentley

this John Lewis hat

Satin Jimmy Choo Mary Janes. The strap is made from swarovski crystals. Look brand new even though they are 10 years old. I still remember they cost almost £1k, and dh's jaw hitting the floor in a "i might kill you" way when I came back with them. Grin

Coast ruffles handbag. I have also got an Armani jacket for my cover up.

Bling is mostly an homage to presents from dh Grin. boodles raindance ring (40th present), Tiffany diamond cross and studs (to mark dd's birth), gucci watch (a Xmas present) and a diamond and sapphire bracelet (last Xmas). All done!

One I am so sorry you had a crappy time last night.

Bernice that's a real bugger on the outnet order. Hate it when that happens.

Amber your dd looked so cute on hols so she clearly knows what she's doing!! Do you go back to work soon?

Marsha soooo glad you're loving the trainers Wink.

fedup the last link are the most fashionable]

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/09/2015 13:42

Have a great time Blingy, outfit sounds perfect especially the bling!

Bernice I thought it was you that had also ordered from Finery, was it? The top arrived yesterday and is lovely, the material feels so soft. They also sent me a cotton tote bag and the packaging was very nice, so I'm very impressed and would definitely order from them again. Only problem is I don't think much of their stuff suits me!

safety I have just downloaded Grabble! I'll blame you if my buying gets out of control Grin

one big hugs, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you and hope you're ok now.

Fedup do it, get the snake ones!

I am having my first facial tomorrow, which was a wedding present courtesy of a beauty therapist friend. Excited :)

AmberNectarine · 04/09/2015 13:45

I go back week after next Blingy and I've just found out i'm going back to a very different (but much more exciting) role so I'm feeling quite chipper about it. Had a devil of a time getting after school childcare (because I didn't start looking 2 years ago) but have finally got that sorted so all my ducks are in a row now!

Jimmy Choo bikers arrived. They are beautiful. I haven't taken them off. Done deal. Sure I can find space for them somewhere!

MarshaBrady · 04/09/2015 13:49

Soon after Amber's arrived mine did too. Thanks for the heads up Thanks

Blingy lovely outfit, have a great time.

Never thought I'd have Jimmy Choo bikers!

Feeling the guilts over two x boots in one week, however.

MN VOGUE VOL 62
MarshaBrady · 04/09/2015 13:51

Actually 3 x new shoes in two weeks. Feel a bit faint.

AmberNectarine · 04/09/2015 13:54

I'm the same Marsha except I've also got a Chanel to add into the mix!

MarshaBrady · 04/09/2015 14:19

Feeling faint for you too Grin

Mara have your JCs turned up?

maradesbois · 04/09/2015 14:34

Yes they have, love them. Flowers Wine to Amber for heads up and being on the ball with Outnet arrivals! If only they had black leather too at that price like Shop said.

Bernice love a collective mnv successful buy too. Btw am channeling you today in peg leg navy cropped trousers, petit bateau Breton and stans. Perfect for this weather.

On way home from white co, discount of 25% with code AG080 until 10/9. Have stocked up on pj's for ds, room diffusers and slippers for me. V tempted by cashmere robe too but going to think about it. Don't want to faint from overspending either!

maradesbois · 04/09/2015 14:36

Fedup love the snake ones too. I couldn't wear them but would love to see on someone who can. Good price too. Don't like it when they mess about too much which superga, for me will always be a canvas summer shoe.

maradesbois · 04/09/2015 14:40

Sorry for multiple posts am on the bus. Blingy thought of you passing boodles. If anyone can do satin shoes without trashing them it's you but sorry am with dh on the price Shock.

Actually not sure how being on bus explains multiple posts. Feel drunk on caffeine after double espresso at lunchtime. Yes, have gone back to the drug Marsha. Are you still abstaining?

MarshaBrady · 04/09/2015 15:00

Yes still off it Mara if I have any I go stratospheric.

Bernice your outfit sounded lovely.

FedupNagging · 04/09/2015 16:00

Oh my, all those JC purchases! Well done Marsha, your footwear purchases have been fab recently.

Blingy my dh looks Shock if I spend over £100 on a pair of shoes, never mind £1k! You will look stunning in that dress.

Grin at Mara being drunk on caffeine. I've only had 2 today so far

So will go for the snake print but can anyone advise re Ash sizing please?

AmberNectarine · 04/09/2015 16:26

Fedup ash true to size, possibly a little roomy in my experience (based on 2 pairs of shoes)

Went into TK Maxx to get PJs for DD. They had HL leather leggings, frame jeans, Stella Falabella bags and jaeger coats.
