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.

Thanks, that makes sense - I am supposed to be mainly natural with just a bit of ingenue. The consultant did get back to me and I am going to see her again.

Ooh Lara can you link your new trousers? They sound great.

libertydoddle · 06/10/2015 14:48

That necklace is really pretty QueenC. Have pinned - in the meantime I decided to order the Alex Munroe Dragonfly necklace in gold. I've liked it for ages.

Love the Stag top.

bernice both Blair and I were diagnosed as Romantic Classic - I'm still not convinced by it though Smile.

Sounds like you have had a good shopping spree Lara.

That's really pretty Lib great buy.

My phone loves your Mango pants Stokey filling up the ads. But yes maybe not Wink

Shop alerted me to Marant on outnet

so I ordered this cashmere scarf I hope it's big and warm.

Larastheme · 06/10/2015 15:50

Beautiful liberty ,

masha that's really you, love it,

bernice these are the marant ones I was searching forever,for flattering pull on trousers, also tried them rolled up,like its shown here, and tried several shoes and boots with them ,looks really good,

shopafrolic · 06/10/2015 15:55

Glad you found something Marsha
Waves to all - the pics of Waynetta and Shirley drove me away temporarily Grin
My birthday Stan Smiths arrived and are definite keepers - shame I have to put them away until Nov. Love love love them. The tongue squeaks when I walk but am guessing that'll stop as it softens?!
And this Woolovers knit has arrived. Not quite as bright as the Boden one but worth it for the £.
I've also ordered some wide legged trousers to wear with trainers - will link if they are keepers.
I watched last night - just wonderful. Loved it.

Larastheme · 06/10/2015 15:58

Also bought this skirt its not as short on me, above knee but no way as short as it is on model, and this shirt, looks great with the skirt,although dh husband gave me a Hmm look, told him to stop as it will ruin the shirt for me and I really love it, also bought another skirt,but having serious doubts about it, think will take it back

shopafrolic · 06/10/2015 15:58

Meant to say Bernice I'm glad your consultant is seeing you again. Every time you Pin a pic of Blake Lively I can see you in what she is wearing. Especially the styling around her baby shower.

maradesbois · 06/10/2015 16:02

Afternoon,

Scarf is lovely Marsha as is your necklace Lib.

Blair I don't know why he just hates moccasins with fringing and would go on about it. I do like them a lot but feeling the brogues more. Love the Burberry camel coat but understand your hesitation about such a big purchase. I will not be getting the cashmere one, far too £££ but do think it's lovely.

Gah, tried to start 5:2 again today but just broken it with rubbish Starbucks sandwich as too late in the day for the nice lunch places. Good fashion news though, dh has been back to Paris and picked up the Marant cluster boots I wanted. Called them beforehand and get them to keep aside but we got there this time after epic fail a few weeks ago!

QueenC yes v difficult to get a date. I am free 30 Nov day or night and happy to organise... December much more difficult.

maradesbois · 06/10/2015 16:03

Too many lovelys there, need to find some new adjectives

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/10/2015 17:10

Lol mara I always get that and have to go back and replace with "fab" or whatever.
Great news on the boots! I'd love the Burberry coat but realistically I think there are too many other things I want as well. And I don't know if I would feel comfortable wearing something that cost so much.

One I must be uber cheap then because I do the same, and the student discount isn't even mine Grin

lib beautiful necklace! Will look lovely on you. I remain unconvinced by HoC as well. I feel like it's halfway there, but still feel sure I have a bit of dramatic in me (even if it doesn't always suit me) and natural too. I was on the cusp of seasons as well, so maybe I'm just awkward. The more time that passes the less I think about my HoC experiences tbh.

I'm going for my first run in the rain tonight!

MarshaBrady · 06/10/2015 17:13

Mara that's great re boots. We have the same thing

Blair good stuff I ran home in the rain yesterday, took me all afternoon to work up to it.

Lara love those Marant pants, looking forward to spree links.

MarshaBrady · 06/10/2015 17:15

Lara Ah you linked already! Not scrolling back properly. Love the skirt and I have the shirt too in a different colour

MarshaBrady · 06/10/2015 17:16

Great jumper Shop bet that colour looks fab

VivaVegas · 06/10/2015 17:28

Love the stag top Queen and the skirt Lara.
Trying to sort next years main summer holiday, takes so long looking but don't want to end up somewhere awful, but the DC want water slides so no idea how this is going to work out!

QueenCardi · 06/10/2015 18:30

I have a challenge for you....pick an outfit/image/pin of what you would dress me in for an interview....

Drywhitethanks · 06/10/2015 20:15

lib I wore my R and B boots today for the first time with berry skinniest and stone sweater. So comfortable. They looked fab and I felt tallGrin a few compliments,a great buy. Love them.
queenC I always do dress or smart trs and cardi for interviews. Not corporate, smart but not scary.

AmberNectarine · 06/10/2015 20:20

I would wear a suit to an interview or very smart dress and jacket, but then I'm in a different line of work. Pretty blouse with sharp blazer and slim trousers?

LinusLovesBretons · 06/10/2015 20:20

Great top queenc, very you!

Will think about an outfit for you.

Love those Marant trousers lara, I really like pull up trousers since I bought my B Cucinelli ones. I might need to invest in another pair. Wink

Any recommendations?

Well done MrMara! DH is in Paris on Friday but I doubt if he has time to go shopping.

That necklace is lovely lib, very you.

shop I feel for you as I have to wait to wear the Tod's ankle boots DM bought me for my birthday.

LinusLovesBretons · 06/10/2015 20:31

How about this queenc?

MN Vogue Vol. 63
LinusLovesBretons · 06/10/2015 20:39

Or this with the white shirt tucked in and without the camel coat.

shopafrolic · 06/10/2015 20:40

We share the same date don't we Linus?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/10/2015 20:43

I'm going to cheat and post a few...
1
2
3 (but with flats; maybe a bit too casual)

Smarten up with a blazer or down with a cardi as necessary :)

MarshaBrady · 06/10/2015 21:03

These are how I'd love to look at work, doesn't happen though. skinnies central

Not the bag in the second, could do flats in the first. The last is you posting on vogue feeling happy it's over Grin

That last one is my Marant coat, really need to dig it out this AW.

QueenCardi · 06/10/2015 21:51

Thank you all so much Flowers. You are all totally on the same wave length as I was thinkng which is reassuring. I haven't yet decided whether to go to the interview for various reasons but wondering what to wear is stressing me out. Dh has said to buy a suit Hmm. I think he thinks I just walk in John lewis like he does, find my waist, leg and chest measurement and walk out sorted.

justasecond · 06/10/2015 22:08

Hi everyone
lots of lovely links to catch up on
I would wear something like the pics Linus linked slim trousers with a shirt tucked in.
That scarf is totally gorgeous Marsha and those black trousers are possibly exactly what I have been looking for for about 2 years Lara
Love the trainers Shop I am thinking of ordering black stan smiths as the whistles ones I ordered are going back they are really uncomfortable and hard. Did you find them tts?
That is such a lovely print on your new blouse queenc
Blair the burberry coats are lush but I would be too scared to wear too. Have you considered a look in Bicester? I have seen some lovely coats in the Burberry outlet (although I think some def have a look of made for outlet about them)
