"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.

There are no words Shop. I am speechless at how utterly shite that is Shock

justasecond · 02/11/2015 19:09

Happy birthday QueenC hope you are having a good day.
That Mulberry ad is so crap
Blair DH and I are planning to go to Benares on our next night out without the kids. We went to Tamarind a couple of months ago, we loved it. Do report back what you think.

Stokey · 02/11/2015 19:20

Bit late but I like Cinnamon Club too in the posh Indian range.

Viva you share a birthday with DD1, she's going to be 6 and is super excited.

AmberNectarine · 02/11/2015 19:31

Erm, they may offend some Christians with that!

Maje sparkly dress arrived. Really love it - bit different to my usual style but a change is as good as a rest, right?

LinusLovesBretons · 02/11/2015 20:09

That ad is really crap! It could actually have worked with a better script and better actors but this is the kind of ad you expect from Argos or Currys, not Mulberry.

QueenCardi · 02/11/2015 20:39

Confused at the mulberry ad.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Am absolutely knackered so heading to bed shortly. Just one quick question-how do you store your jewellery? Especially those of you that have delicate necklaces?

MarshaBrady · 02/11/2015 20:57

I have my first Christmas do dress. It feels not too dressy for drinks etc, I really like it! Just need to sort out shoes.

Isabel Marant crepe

Going to watch the Mulberry ad

LinusLovesBretons · 02/11/2015 21:30

Oooh I love that dress marsha! But what about you not wearing black?! Hmm

Oh and where is mara? Has she been swallowed by her books? Wink

shopafrolic · 02/11/2015 21:42

Can't wait to hear your thoughts Marsha
Great dress

MarshaBrady · 02/11/2015 21:43

Ooh I know! I said that once didn't I! Maybe it was seasonal, no idea now. Can I do LBD at Christmas?!

VivaVegas · 02/11/2015 21:44

Birthdays are so exciting at that age Stokey, sadly I'm a few years older than her!
Lovely dress Marsha.

MarshaBrady · 02/11/2015 21:47

Shop no idea what is going on with that Mulberry ad?! Wonder who did it!

Viva and Stokey exciting re upcoming birthdays.

shopafrolic · 02/11/2015 22:00

Adam & Eve DDB apparently

shopafrolic · 02/11/2015 22:02

Linus and I have a birthday this week too. Loving all the Scorpios on here......

MarshaBrady · 02/11/2015 22:03

Blimey even I've heard of them - thought they could do no wrong.

shopafrolic · 02/11/2015 22:04

They did the JL stuff. This is so bad.....

LinusLovesBretons · 02/11/2015 22:08

It looks like something "John From Accounts" put together to show at the Mulberry staff Christmas party, not something you show to customers.

Drywhitethanks · 02/11/2015 22:33

QueenC im very late, but Happy Birthday xxxxxx

That Ad is terrible.....how coukd they get it so right for John Lewis and so so badly wrong for Mulberry?

Marsha I love that dress for you.

Longislandicetee · 02/11/2015 22:33

Evening! Am knackered from persuading the mini blingys to go to sleep this evening! But not too knackered to say a Huuuge thank you to Amber. The size 4 Lucy Choi's arrived from The Outnet today. They were massive on me. So I went on to the website you linked and got the size 3s (my usual size) for £55 after the discount and delivery charges. ThanksGrin

FedupNagging · 02/11/2015 22:39

Lovely dress Marsha - what shoes will you wear with it?

Can't get the add to run on the iPad atm so will look tomorrow.

Sparkly dress sounds good Amber - did I miss a link somewhere?

Dh, dsis and 2 gf's all have birthdays this week - 2 on the same day as Viva. hmm, wonder if there is some strange reason.....?

Have just had an email saying my MV order is being delivered tomorrow morning - how fast is that?

Shop did you get any further response from Mih? I think you were waiting on a call back from a manager. (Apologies if I've missed it)

Hello!

Linus nearly Grin. Had big deadline to meet so crazy busy with that and now we are away for a few days in Italy with course.

Sunshine and pizza are not condusive to work though, nor is proximity of the shops to our hotel. Got the tod's brogues I've been hankering after for ages in London at the weekend but should've waited to be here. Love them though.

QueenC happy birthday!! SmileFlowersWineCake. Love the cocktail board and will be donning the green Stella please. Have it on a pin board already but it's one for the realms of fantasy am afraid.

Stokey I have ts coated skinnies, Jamie I think. Got extra long too, 34 leg so can wear with ankle boots.

Topaz glad all is going well with the new house. Are you and dh now in agreement on colour schemes etc?

Love hearing about Lib and Blingy mu with dc plus wardrobe tour.

Marsha love the dress. So you did keep marant coat too?

Mulberry ad is cringeworthy bad, can't believe their pr sanctioned it

Have to go now,so tired my eyes are closing. Night all.

QueenCardi · 03/11/2015 07:54

I'm now thinking that mulberry have been very clever. Look how many of us have watched it who wouldnt normally and we're discussing it. If it gets traffic to the website that's good for them surely?

Can I ask again about you all store jewellery as you seemed to have ignored me Grin. Do you put delicate chains in a jewellery box or hang them?

QueenCardi · 03/11/2015 07:55

Btw also love your dress marsha

libertydoddle · 03/11/2015 08:00

Can't believe the same as people did JL and that Mulberry one Shock Maybe they had their good people on the JL account and fobbed Mulberry off with the interns. But ultimately poor call by mulberry running with it.

Right ladies. I need good vibes sent my way today. V difficult meeting this afternoon and period due. Lots of deep breathing....

LinusLovesBretons · 03/11/2015 08:03

Morning!

mara a 'schooltrip' to Italy sounds lovely. Do you have a curfew? Grin

queenc I am very bad at storing my jewelry so I usually store the more expensive items in their own little pouch.

Re Mulberry, I haven't been tempted to buy anything from them in years and this ad is certainly not going to change my mind.
