Ahhhhh, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...if for you that means the joy of cosy jumpers, retrieving your favourite coats and jackets from the back of the wardrobe and an excuse to buy new boots then this is the place for you Smile. Come chat about clothes, make up and accessories, budgets from Primark to Prada. Lurkers, newbies and old hands all welcome.

two years blair including this one i'm staring soon. another year on top of that if i go for a masters as well but we will see about that when the time comes

argh, i don't know what to do about my face, everything stings on it, even water and i can't get a drs appointment for a week. I did ry to stress that the reaction is round my mouth and that my tongue has been feeling itchy but no, not enough to get an appointment this week. i look really really awful so it's killed my confidence for going in for enrolment in a couple of days

shopafrolic · 14/09/2015 15:49

Back on ward x

Amber I don't know why, but I thought for a moment your first paragraph was about the AA dress! Phew. But lol - maybe your DH will like it? Grin I think mine is a bum man.

One have you taken any tablets, antihistamine or something, if you are allowed to? Or maybe try putting calamine on it, might help soothe it a bit?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/09/2015 15:53

Oh shop do you mean it's done? Hope you're ok Flowers

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 14/09/2015 16:03

i've taken anti histamines blair its calmed down from what it was the past two days but it really looks awful. i'm not impressed that i can't get a drs appointment for a week and a half because it really is a serious reaction and i am really concerned that its a) round my mouth and b) that my tongue has been itching and feels thick and heavy. i really would have thought that would warrant being seen pretty quickly but apparently not

hope all has gone well Shop and that you are not in pain Thanks

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2015 16:13

QueenC I have no idea - will see how the mood takes me in the morning!

Blair oh I'm sure he'll love it - he's tediously predictable like that.

Shop hope it all went well my love xx

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2015 16:40

Well done shop. Hope you are reasonably comfortable.

one go talk to a pharmacist. They should be able to give you something and will know if a doctor needs to see you sooner.

Good luck tomorrow amber.

i'm calling at a pharmacy tomorrow lib so will ask to speak to soemone then. admittedly, it is better than it was but it's really not pleasant or nice to look at. it's really uncomfortable actually and i look a real mess

hope you are comfortable shop and can get some sleep tonight

good luck for tomorrow amber i am certain you will be fine

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2015 20:16

I ordered some stuff for work, just so I can wear something different each day.

Current Elliott striped t the small sizes are pretty big, so needs to be tucked in to work.

And this Current / Elliott tartan I don't really like how the model looks in it, but think it's better in rl.

Good luck tomorrow Amber, I'm sure you'll be great.

shopafrolic · 14/09/2015 20:56

Love those Marsha I haven't worn my Equipment knit yet. One to look forward to.
Hope tomorrow goes well Amber

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2015 21:00

Hey Shop What are you up to? Are you reading a book? Hope you feel ok x

Longislandicetee · 14/09/2015 21:12

Evening all!

Hugs to dear Shop Flowers. (I might cheer you up with piccies of me in latest Outnet clothes if I can be bothered to change out of pjs!) Also hugs to poor One and QueenC.

Absolutely loved FedUps judgy pants outfit. I roared with laughter.

Dry Nars satin lip pencil are just fantastic. I discovered them in San Fran 2 years ago when the lovely bloke did a makeover and haven't looked back. Absolutely brilliant if you have a busy day and not going to be able to check lippy and not drying at all! Also loved the grey Marcie. If I didn't have one already or the grey Paraty I would be tempted!

Bernice between the DvF wedding guest outfit and the jumpsuit you're on a roll! Flowers. Mara it's funny we had a conversation about MK clothes didn't we? They are beginning to be my going out choice.

Marsha I think the stripey tee is so you. Smile.

Oh I also meant to say good luck to Amber (did I tell you, I loved the picture of you on your wedding day? You looked beautiful) and Envy for Stokey with all her fancy dress parties!

shopafrolic · 14/09/2015 22:08

Reading Big Little Lies. Hard to concentrate.

KittyHello · 14/09/2015 22:11

Have only just managed to get on here. Hope everything went well today Shop Flowers and that you are not in any discomfort.

Good luck tomorrow Amber

Drywhitethanks · 14/09/2015 22:28

Evening all.
Shop

One your name gets longer and longer hope you feel better soon, and to QueenC too.
Amber and Stokey I'm impressed at the catsuit wearing love how A already has one in her wardrobe, obv a gap in mine Grin-
Blair my DH has to be a bum man v little in the cleavage dept here
Blingy Shop introduced me to NARS lip pencils. I'm v lazy, hate having to reapply lippy so always go for long lasting, pref matte as I hate the feeling of anything glossy. MAC matte are my fav.

So, summer is officially over. DH has polished my boots. After freezing for 2 days I've decided to bring out the big guns.....the UNiqlo heatech WITH SLEEVES is going on tomorrow, opaques and prob knee boots too Shock

Work outfit tomorrow will be:
Boden camel wool a line skirt
Gap burgundy merino crew neck
Brown opaques
Brown knee boots
Paul Smith scarf in purples/rusts/greys/camels which I adore
VEST!!!

Drywhitethanks · 14/09/2015 22:34

Someone asked where my camel skirt as from a few days ago, it's this one

sweetmelody · 15/09/2015 01:27

It was me dry, and I haven't been back since Blush
You did say further up thread that it was Boden and I guessed it was the one you linked to, but although the fabric and colour are perfect, I really really wanted a straight, pencil shape as it suits my pear-shape better. However, I have not been able to find anything else I like the look of online. So frustrating as I have a huge camel pencil skirt-shaped hole in my wardrobe....

LinusLovesBretons · 15/09/2015 06:35

Good luck today amber!

Glad everything went well yesterday shop, hope you recover quickly.

shopafrolic · 15/09/2015 06:47

Spoke too soon. Awful night's sleep. In so much pain Sad

Drywhitethanks · 15/09/2015 07:18

Oh no Shop .... Can the up the pain killers?

shopafrolic · 15/09/2015 07:22

Hope so. Feel pretty miserable.

AmberNectarine · 15/09/2015 08:17

Oh shop, you poor thing! Hope you get the good drugs x

Am on the train - DCs seemed very happy to go to breakfast club!

Ootd is Zara navy polo, teal pleather skirt, navy R&B heels and my Chanel.

QueenofCardigans · 15/09/2015 08:21

shop the next morning is always the worst. Just take the painkillers regularly and ask if you need more. It'll be hideous getting out of bed and doing stuff but a freshen up will make you feel better. Just be prepared to feel exhausted after doing the slightest thing. It'll get better each day.
dry can't believe you're going for heatech already! I'm still in trainers but the boots may need to come out. shop I'm wraring your blue scarf today.
amber good luck.
