"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."
— Karl Lagerfeld

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.

Is it wrong to love this

VivaVegas · 20/10/2015 11:17

Hope you are OK One.
How annoying Queen, do you not have anyone you can get to come over while you go?
Anything Disney does nothing for me!
Found the Zoe Ball shoes with the help of another thread Valentino Shoes. I think they may have been linked on here before, sadly out of my price range so if anyone sees anything similar on the High Street,please let me know!

QueenCardi · 20/10/2015 11:25

Lush shoes vegas. What was the rest of her outfit?
Don't worry, I will try and get someone to have the dc but a lot of people I know are away. Just typical it's in half term and dh can't take the morning off.
one sorry, missed that you fell. Hope you ok.

VivaVegas · 20/10/2015 11:46

Queen it was a black velvet dress possibly this Zara one with opaques. My kind of going out outfit, although not too keen on Velvet!

QueenCardi · 20/10/2015 12:25

Ooh lovely. I wore mine with a black dress and opaques and loved it.

Am gutted. Tried on something in jigsaw at the weekend and was going to wish list it to dh for my birthday. It's oos online and everywhere near to me and near my parents and dh parents but my local store are going to try and get hold of one for me.

VivaVegas · 20/10/2015 12:55

What glitter shoes do you have Queen, I'm seriously on the hunt now?!

QueenCardi · 20/10/2015 13:30

Last years topshop. I'm not sure I've seen many this year except the ones that blingy has (prada? Ysl?). I think boden only have glittery heeled ones? You may get more out as it comes to party season. If I see any ill let you know.

Hello,

Have been awol lost in study. So busy but all good. Too much to catch up on but had a quick look back through the thread and Ujj love your DHRA Grin. We are currently having a stand-off about wardrobe space, grr!

Marsha don't wear my heels enough as normally lots of walking involved. Had a to-do with shoe repair man last night as thought he'd lost my Rupert Sanderson heels in for re-soling. He was trying to deny having had them and we had a proper argument but we are now reconciled and shoes found. All very dramatic!

Don't have going out tops either (just the term sets my teeth on edge, not sure why), mostly wear jeans or dresses but would like some slim tailored black trousers. Love queenc and blingy's glitter Mary Janes too. Also remember sleep wearing fab Lucy Choi glitter heels for MNV Christmas night out last year. Shall we plan one this year end nov or not?

Ootd is double denim - shirt & jeans very '90s jimmy corkhill. Also new marant cluster boots which I love plus maison scotch slouchy tweed blazer and hermès shawl.

Evening. Loved all the answers - pretty stuff.

I'm so tired I woke at 3am stressing about taps -I want traditional ones and not sure where to get them from, any ideas would be great - and ended up looking through catalogues to deal with it.

Milan this week!

Drywhitethanks · 20/10/2015 17:39

these are the glitter shies Ive been lusting about for ages. Just with they were higher.

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 17:49

Never bought them myself Marsha but what about these guys?

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 17:51

or these in Mayfair

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 17:52

I'm not feeling the whole glitter shoe thing when it is a low heel - feels to much like a party shoe. I usually LOVE Zoe Ball's style on ITT but not last night.

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 18:06

In other news I lost my shiz at Matches today over the ongoing saga of the Equipment breton sweater that they asked me to send back to them and are still debating whether they should refund. May need your help again Novice......

HappyGirlNow · 20/10/2015 19:48

My SE boots arrived shop - they're lovely but if I'd tried them on in store I'd have sized up I think.. I am UK 6 so bought US 8., they're just a tad neat..

Theyre do-able as I'm unlikely to wear for overly long periods but I worry they'll go out of shape a bit.. Too much hassle to send them back to the U.S. though..

MarshaBrady · 20/10/2015 21:00

Thanks Shop, they look great Thanks. How annoying about Matches!

Happy hmm toughie, do they hurt?

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 21:03

Oh dear Happy you could possibly EBay them for more than you paid?

HappyGirlNow · 20/10/2015 21:13

Hey, no they don't hurt, at least not when I tried them on... Hopefully they won't over a longer period..

I'll try them again tomorrow and keep them on for a bit round the house and decide...

Do you think they'd go for more on eBay shop ?

Rahhh Grin

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 21:16

The U.K. RRP is £170 (I think) so worth a shot.

Drywhitethanks · 20/10/2015 22:06

Can't believe Matches haven't sorted your refund Shop, would think twice about shopping with them.

Drywhitethanks · 20/10/2015 22:08

And I thinkZoe has mastered the nice black trouser/going out top on ITT..........

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 22:09

Apparently they sent the sweater to Equipment for them to comment back in Sept but still haven't had a response from them. I pointed out that my relationship is with Matches, not Equipment, she agreed and said she would investigate and come back to me today, Guess what? No call back...... Awful awful awful

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 22:11

Zoe is the reason why I want a Markus Lupfer sweatshirt.....

MarshaBrady · 20/10/2015 22:20

Which one would you get Shop?

shopafrolic · 20/10/2015 22:39

The lips, or I had my eye on a hot air balloon one a few years back. There's a fab pineapple on The Outnet at the moment too..... Not sure. One day. Always seems too frivolous (says the Voguette with the pink boots) Grin
