Its that time of year again when our thoughts turn to winter woollies, Christmas jumpers and party dresses. Come and join our musings and purchasing, high end and high street, we love them all.

I am home but I've let vogue down and myself down I didn't shop Shock

Too comfy in the cafe to go out in the rain.

So good to be home though!

QueenCardi · 16/10/2015 19:03

flat fronted culottes for bernice although probably too formal.

QueenCardi · 16/10/2015 19:09

libertydoddle · 16/10/2015 19:45

Work's OK Marsha. On the Wine now. Have had a dry week so badly needed.

I like stars too queenc.

MarshaBrady · 16/10/2015 20:34

Well done Lib you deserve it Wine

I had a crazy night last night, in the hotel, due to caffeine after all this time and too hot, didn't sleep a wink. So tired now.

QueenC those boots are cool.

libertydoddle · 16/10/2015 20:37

Hard not to do caffeine in Paris Marsha

Longislandicetee · 16/10/2015 20:46

Evening! Am really tired! In bed already burning Parks orange and clove (or something like that) candles. Lib is making me want wine.Grin

QueenC, I can't believe your heating isn't on yet! Our downstairs heating packed up on Wednesday and it's been like a fridge! Thankfully BG came round to fix it today

Confession time...last year, I tried to give away this LK Bennett coat as I bought it, changed my mind and thought I couldn't return it? Well as no one wanted it, I decided to try it. Absolutely loved wearing it last year and this year too. I have been wearing it with my black cable cashmere snood (yes I am cold!) and I have caught myself thinking "Ooooh that looks nice"Blush Other things I have worn and loved over the last week that I didn't like on first try and was supposed to returnBlushBlushBlush... Roland Mouret dress and Michael Kors leopard print dress.

shopafrolic · 16/10/2015 22:15

They are totally happy boots. Make me want to do a little dance and click my heels together. Seemed to work well with black crew neck, black skinnies and pink nails and lipstick. Maybe grey Pashli?

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 16/10/2015 22:21

i love love love those boots. they are fab in every way!!

Drywhitethanks · 16/10/2015 22:42

Amazing Shop

Rachel Weiss on G Norton, I LOVE that dress/belt combo........

VivaVegas · 16/10/2015 22:46

Love the pink boots Shop, I have these pink boots from Zara from a couple of years ago. Might have to get them out!
Love that star jumper Queen, I saw these the other day Boden Mary Jane and thought you might like them!

justasecond · 16/10/2015 22:59

wow love those boots shops! will you be ordering the black too?
That lk bennet trench is really lovely Blingy
I am the same after caffeine Marsha I gave up about 13 years ago. My neighbour once gave me coffee one saturday morning, I couldn't sleep properly until about Monday and had shaky hands all weekend.
no plans as yet queenc re 40th but probably a nice restaurant with friends and the same with dh and family. Nothing very exciting!
Inspired by mara's link to black brogues I ordered these as they were in the sale the suede lace up ones they are lovely irl not as manly as they appear in the pics. I had to reorder a size smaller though as they come up big.
No luck with trainers either, the black stan smiths were sent back as they just looked wrong on me maybe because they are wide?

MarshaBrady · 17/10/2015 08:09

Justa ah nice to be in the same place wrt caffeine. I had another the next morning to survive a meeting on no sleep and it made be wide awake at 3.30 but it will finally have worn off by tonight.

Shop those boots, love them! Outfit suggestion sounds perfect. You're on a roll.

Today I'm going to the bathroom store to do a big order, new trainers as left mine at work and out tonight with Dh.

What's everyone up to and I'll say what are you wearing but I'm not up yet.

AmberNectarine · 17/10/2015 08:24

I love those pinstripe culottes but they don't seem to come smaller than a 10 (why?). M&S need to sort that out actually, I was RL shopping with my mum in there and saw lots of things I would have tried on. Could I find any of them in a 6 or 8? No.

So I went next door to Topshop, land of plentiful 6s and 8s and bought a jumper. So ner, M&S. Actually I spent a fortune on kids stuff in there so they probably don't care.
