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.

Those heels are great!

Just got such a funny text from Lib checking whether dh is at Twickenham again. Apparently there is a bloke near her who is complaining about his wife constantly losing bling. Dh is at home suffering from the mother of all hangovers no sympathy but good to know I have a kindred spirit (the wife!!) out there!!Grin

Brilliant Blingy how funny
Marsha I have a feeling we may both find it quite stressy Grin
Lovely afternoon. DH Has headed off shooting so DS and I headed to friends (who are kind of like my 2nd parents) and had lunch, baked gingerbread men and played games. Nice way to spend the afternoon. I am now I front of the TV - absolutely shattered, wine in hand.

I'll get you both through it Marsha and Shop but will you have Johnny Depp look a like doing your work Grin . Over a year of work seems as if it
T never happened now, I just have a fantastic house Smile.

Blingy that's funny!

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 19:34

Omg I Love Claudia's outfit on Strictly. Please someone find me that gorgeous lace blouse

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 19:43

Loving Claudia's outfit tonight. And her glossy fringe - she looks fab with her hair up.
ST Style mag recommending Uniqlo, M&S and GAP cashmere. They say buy men's size M crew necks and wear with party jeans. What the hell are party jeans?!

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 19:44

Cross post Dry she looks fab!

libertydoddle · 25/10/2015 19:49

Grin blingy I couldn't resist the text. I figured it probably wasn't your DH but was just hilarious hearing this guy go on about how his wife keeps losing jewellery! He even said to his mate 'and she has 3 jewellery boxes, and I bought them too'!!! I was in stitches! Great evening. Better than yesterday in a way as we didn't care who won so could just enjoy the rugby and eavesdrop on other people's conversations

DH looking for final tickets now...

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 19:54

I think I really need that blouse bet it's ££££ and Ress is working the sparkly heels too

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 19:54

Tess!

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 19:55

Her dress last night was from Matches. Might be worth a look on there but she'll probably tweet it later.

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 20:17

Looks like it's Sandro Dry

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 20:25

Can't find it anywhere

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 20:28

Might not be current. She just tweeted it.

FedupNagging · 25/10/2015 20:44

I came on here to say the same - Claudia looked fab tonight and love the lace blouse.

Herecomesthesun - the heels are pretty comfy - I danced for hours last night and feet were fine. They are a tad fiddly to do up but its worth it!

I googled party jeans (as the thought also crossed my mind)and this is what appeared. Now, who amongst us would wear them? def not me or Dry at a guess!

Lib I thought today's match was great only caught second half though. Dh is at next weeks final. I suspect today's hangover will still be very fresh in his memory. He still looks awful.Hmm Today must have been cold! Yesterday was okay, only got colder late at night (we got home at midnight!). I was so chuffed I managed to put together an outfit that was both warm and quite nice.

With dh out of action Hmm I have had to entertain the dcs alone. We started decorating the house for Halloween. They were so over excited I realised within 5 minutes that it was a huuuge mistake!!

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 20:51

Bet it looks amazing though Blingy

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 20:51

this would do nicely Smile

Fedup Grin

FedupNagging · 25/10/2015 20:54

Oh dear Blingy hope dh's hangover has cleared by tomorrow.

Can't remember who linked the Whistles boots earlier but I really like them. I saw someone wearing a very similar pair (but with laces) last night with opaques and a very floaty dress and looked great.

pretty

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 21:01

swoon

LinusLovesBretons · 25/10/2015 21:05

According to the Daily Mail this is the dress Claudia was wearing.

Loved those Whistles boots linked earlier as well. I love my grey ones from last year but they're not really to walk very far in.

FedupNagging · 25/10/2015 21:05

Lace blouse

Very pretty but very see-through]]

shopafrolic · 25/10/2015 21:08

Good find Linus - I was searching for a blouse not a dress

Drywhitethanks · 25/10/2015 21:12

Me too, shame it's not a blouse.
Fedup I really like the first one, and it's cotton, may order to try.............

FedupNagging · 25/10/2015 21:15

Fabulous colour

Well done Linus - think I've seen a similar dress somewhere - Boden maybe?
