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.

Waiting to see Bond. V excited but v tired so hoping I can stay awake!

AmberNectarine · 01/11/2015 21:02

I went yesterday and was knackered but ended up gripped.

Early to bed for me tonight. Had a lovely night last night, great company and food all turned out well. Have been very tired today (head feels fine as I drank loads of water alongside my prosecco and wine, but definitely feeling the effects). Had a lazy day - realised it was the first day of doing nothing since we moved in early September. I have loved having this week off and we have made real progress with the house. It s beginning to feel like 'ours' though it will be a while before it properly feels like 'home'.

I wore slobby tracksuit and tshirt today and no make-up. I think that probably contributed to my feeling of lethargy.

Had a lovely day tomorrow Marsha.

I hope you stayed awake for Bond QueenC and, like Amber, you enjoyed it. I want to see it, must work out when.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/11/2015 21:47

I saw it yesterday too and wasn't expecting it to be great, it was very formulaic but it was actually really good.

Anyone else had mist and fog all day today? We did adventure golf this afternoon, the course was decorated for halloween, so between that and the smoke machines and the weather it was very atmospheric! Really fun.

Glad everyone had a good and safe Halloween.

I think I'd have to pick my Zarita from the cocktail board Grin My LBD plans fell through in the end, the DVF went back (it was nice, but slightly too long and a bit "safe") and I ordered a scuba+lace really cheap pencil dress (£18 cheap!) but that had an exposed back zip that wouldn't lay flat. And now I think one of my Xmas parties may not be happening anyway, boo.

Your day tomorrow sounds lovely Marsha, hope it's really fun.

Dry only you Grin! Don't know what I would do actually.

No time to catch up on all the links and posts but just wanted to wish QueenC a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Flowers Cake Wine

FedupNagging · 02/11/2015 08:10

Morning all - did we all have early nights last night?

Hope you managed to stay awake Queen - we're going to see it on Weds at an Imax cinema.

Marsha, enjoy your day today. The SL dress you linked is soooo lush.

Am a bit miffed as the 3 pairs of trousers I wanted from Boden are all sold out in my size. Will check back later as they may have restocked.

Love this jumper - any autumns out there? Its also available in khaki and camel.

Also love this jumper I thought it was a silver grey (perfect for the festive season) but it says white - and dry clean only.

Lovely clutch - sold out though.

love this

QueenCardi · 02/11/2015 08:39

I stayed awake and I loved it. When I grow up I want to be a Bond girl. DC is just so damn sexy! I had to not take it too seriously as othetwise you constantly wonder where he gets all his guns from and how he's got the perfect outfits for wherever in the world he ends up but I loved Madeleine's outfits and spotted the chloe bag.

QueenCardi · 02/11/2015 08:41

Just caught up on links. You can't have the Ricci marsha as its mine Grin

QueenCardi · 02/11/2015 08:42

Otherwise, I'm loving everyones choices and we would look fabulous.

FedupNagging · 02/11/2015 08:51

Happy Birthday Queen Wine - enjoy your day.

I had my eye on thisdenim jacket last summer - it was retailing in store at £99 which I decided wasn't worth it. As its now in bargain catagory, its winging its way.

As is
This peasant style blouse to wear with flares.

Happy Birthday QueenC - channel your inner Bond Girl!

& have a lovely shop Marsha

Great denim jacket Fedup.

Anyone got some nice coated jeans they'd recommend? I tried on the Topshop Joni ones which I liked but felt a bit cropped so thought I'd get the longer length, which are sold out now in my size.

Longislandicetee · 02/11/2015 10:38

No time to catch up properly as back at work after a lovely week off.
Some lovely links.
Happy birthday Queen, I'm following closely behind with a birthday on Friday
Glad Bond is good, hoping to get to see it at the weekend.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/11/2015 11:38

Happy birthday QueenC!! Cake Flowers Have a lovely day!

Can anyone recommend any Indian fine dining restaurants in central London? DH fancies that sort of meal for his birthday later this month. :)

LinusLovesBretons · 02/11/2015 13:01

Veeraswamy used to be nice but I haven't been in years.

And DH has been to Benares as raved about it. I think it has 1 Michelin star.

LinusLovesBretons · 02/11/2015 13:02
  • and raved about it
AmberNectarine · 02/11/2015 14:55

I really like Tamarind Blair

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/11/2015 16:12

Thanks Linus and Amber. I've seen Veeraswamy and Tamarind (and Amaya) but not heard of Benares, will check it out too. Flowers

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/11/2015 16:44

Booked Benares - DH's reply when I told him was "AWESOME" and a curry emoji Grin

shopafrolic · 02/11/2015 18:22

I'm really sorry but this is SOOOOO BAD Mulberry
