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.

Here area a few links of things I saw and loved:

dress tried on, adored it, longer on me shortarse but because it wasn't lined it felt scratchy and I just couldn't figure out what I'd wear with it. Fab colour and fit though.

Drywhitethanks · 13/09/2015 22:12

dress in H Nics. More midi on me. If I needed another black dress this would be the one. Absolutely amazing on, fabric sucked everything in, not for big boons.......lovely. V me.

MarshaBrady · 13/09/2015 22:13

Big hug Shop, thinking of you Thanks

Lib love the Marni dress.

Dry sounds like fun, really like that colour too.

Funny Fedup

Blingy fabulous outfit.

MarshaBrady · 13/09/2015 22:16

Love that Maje dress

Drywhitethanks · 13/09/2015 22:21

There was aMihael Kors dress in Selfridges, can't find the link Confused. Just below the knee, shift fitted shape with capped ruffle sleeves in teal.......nearly cried it was so gorgeous.....but £800ish....totally wonderful.

Drywhitethanks · 13/09/2015 22:24

fab colour

Drywhitethanks · 13/09/2015 22:39

marcie in grey...beautiful

Drywhitethanks · 13/09/2015 22:42

lip pencil Nars bought and wore this.I think this would suit Mara and Liberty too.....love it. Not a blue/pink red. More brown/orange toned.

LinusLovesBretons · 14/09/2015 08:08

Good luck today shop! Flowers

libertydoddle · 14/09/2015 08:19

Lovely lip colour dry. Gorgeous loafers. The MK dress sounds perfect.

Thinking about you shop.

Busy, busy week ahead but have booked all of next week off as I really need to relax. I did a big declutter of DD's toys over the weekend and labeled drawers etc so that she -and DH-- know where things are supposed to be put away.

I need to do that Lib. I was on the case in July and managed to get rid of some baby toys but then stalled in the hols.

Best of luck Shop, hope it goes well.

[Grin] at your judgy pants Topaz

Love those loafers Dry glad you had a good time in the big smoke.

How are you feeling QueenC, hope you're better.

I've got another fancy dress party this weekend, think my friends are trying to recapture their childhood. We're going add the Avengers - it's an "A" theme - but am in a bit of a panic as will be wearing a leather catsuit eek. So just resumed the 30 day shred for the first time since pre- holiday and now hurt. I should be living on lettuce but don't think that's going to happen!

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 14/09/2015 10:29

Hello,

Wow Stokey you have a lot of fancy dress parties to go to! Well done on starting the 30 day shred. I have the dvd but it has been neglected for quite a while.

What will you do with your week off Lib? Love that Marni dress. I also really like that Ines dress but can see it could look like a nightie Smile.

I like your shopping round up Dry. Sounds like you had a lovely weekend.

Fedup Grin at the judgy pants.

Flowers for QueenC - hope you feel better, Shop - thinking of you today and Blingy I hope things have improved since the weekend. Btw I think I was one of the people suggesting you try a jumpsuit! Glad you like it, can definitely see you in the MK one.

I've bought these Next shoes - awful pic from the Next website but I am really pleased with them and have worn them 2 days running, they look good with jeans and dresses / skirts.

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 14/09/2015 10:38

Lib this dress and these trousers are quite Marni-esque.

maradesbois · 14/09/2015 10:45

Morning,

On a long train journey on my own, bliss! Need to do some work but wanted to check in and wish Shop all the best for today and a speedy recovery. You'll be back recuperating in your (very clean) house breathing the soothing lavender scented air before you know it. Flowers Brew

Stokey you do go to a lot of fancy dress parties, so much fun. We dressed up vintage style for Goodwood revival yesterday. Loved how everyone really got into the spirit of it. They even had a retro beauty salon doing victory rolls, chignons etc. Good luck with shred. I stopped it as ds kept talking about 'butt kicks, kicking my own butt' and dh said it sounded rude!

Lib love the Marni dress and do remember Blair linking it. Hope it's good but you're quite right to send back everything you weren't sure about.

QueenC love that shirt, thanks. Need more shirts and jeans and would like some dark trainers too. Wearing stans every day atm, they stink (sorry, that's not very Vogue).

Fedup hoik those pants!

maradesbois · 14/09/2015 10:50

Forgot to say Blingy love love your jumpsuit and caged heel outfit. Think MK clothes work so well for you.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 14/09/2015 11:27

thanking of you today Shop Thanks

well, i had my official confirmation over the weekend that i'm progressing to the next level of my course so that's really good. On the bad side, I had a huge allergic reaction to something unknown so have a bright red rashy goatee of shame! really hoping it calms down in these next couple of days as it's enrolment day this week and I already feel nervous enough without worrying about what my face looks

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 14/09/2015 11:27

thinking! not thanking! Blush

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2015 12:28

Coincidence Stokey I am going to a fancy dress party as catwoman (DH's request) so will be wearing a PVC catsuit!

Did a smash and grab in Zara just now:

trousers

top

polo neck

pleather skirt

Also this surprisingly good work dress from AA trust me

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2015 12:30

Also thinking of shop Flowers

QueenofCardigans · 14/09/2015 12:53

A fancy dress on school night Shock
stokey rather you that me with all the fancy dress
mara ive seen lots of pictures of friends at good wood and they all look really good.
one well done. Can't believe its already been a year.
novice your outfits sound good. Those r&b shoes are very you.

Feeling much better thanks. Just sick of it all really. I also had some light bleeding a few days ago at day 9 so I feel like I'm constantly on my period. Felt a bit lightheaded at circuits this morning and have decided that today is not really a day to fast and that my body needs food more than it needs to lose 4lb.

Is it raining with everyone? Utterly hideous here. Had forgotten how awful the school run is when it's p'ing down. Wearing cosy gap sweatshirt though. I'm contemplating getting another in grey but then the danger is that I'll wear nothing else all winter!

shopafrolic · 14/09/2015 12:57

I have been sat on this hospital bed in paper pants with support socks on since 8am! Soooooo hungry it's ridiculous. Loving the links to divert my attention Flowers

QueenofCardigans · 14/09/2015 13:05

Oh no shop. Hope you get done soon Flowers

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 14/09/2015 14:15

Hi all

shop thinking of you, glad it seems you've got wifi in hospital :)

Love all those links Amber! I am stealing the chocolate polo neck and the AA dress to pin.

Good news on the course One, how long to go until you complete it?

Lib really enjoyed all your links but what a shame that none were keepers. Fingers crossed for the Marni dress.

Stokey and Amber dare I ask where you buy a PVC catsuit? Grin Is it just a fancy dress shop?

Dry glad you had a great weekend, I love the Maje dress too. Have always wanted to try one on but have read that they are overpriced for the quality Confused

I am hungover (stomach ache). Went to Radio 2 live in Hyde Park yesterday and it was a bit of an all day/evening thing. Really fun though :)

And...! Instead of buying a whole new bag to achieve the cross body thing, I have scored a leather strap on Ebay to wear with my Mulberry Mitzy hobo. It's apparently brand new and from a Mitzy East West crossbody. It cost a lot but was much less than a new designer bag. Blush

AmberNectarine · 14/09/2015 14:36

I got mine off EBay blair. New, I might add. It has a zip that goes all the way around the bum. Don't want to think about why it's there.

My polo neck is navy - chocolate would make me look recently exhumed - I think it will be useful. The AA dress is great - really sucks you in. I'm v pleased with it. Nervous about starting back but feel I have nailed the wardrobe!

QueenofCardigans · 14/09/2015 14:45

What will you wear tomorrow amber?
