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.

Eeek Shop! Shock Glad you're okay though!

Lib, I know i ought to ask myself this question more but before i enable you to get it Grin on what occasion would you wear it?

KittyHello · 04/11/2015 14:49

Happy birthday Shop and Linus hope you are both having wonderful days. Cake Wine

Will pop back later for a proper catch up.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 04/11/2015 15:39

happiest of happy birthdays to Shop and linus Thanks Wine Cake [fizz]

hope you aren't too badly bruised Shop

no fashion news to report here, i'm still feeling unwell so just have no energy for anything atm

Larastheme · 04/11/2015 15:49

Oh no! shop,poor you!
oh I remember when I had an accident moving a table base in the storage room at work, blood started gushing and spraying from my foot,like you see in the movies, but I was more concerned about the chanel tweed flats I had on, I acted on reflex and kicked it off, was reunited with the pair a few days later, I had visions of the one pair in a dark storage area with blood surrounding it, like a crime scene!

blair, no ,not excited about it, looks good, it has got the Kadashian written all over it,

stokey, haven't watched season two yet, will do this weekend,can't wait, although the setting will be in the 70s, maybe it will be about Molly's dad and that accident he mentioned to lorne malvo in the diner,

lib sleep on it,and it will pass, its something out of your comfort zone, and probably you will feel self conscious about it as its not in your colours, but if you still can't get it out of your head then go for it, maybe its a hit!

shopafrolic · 04/11/2015 16:55

party boots :) If only I was 25!

LinusLovesBretons · 04/11/2015 17:21

Evening!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! It's been an, ahem, interesting birthday but I am on the bubbles right now so every so slightly tipsy and all's well with the world.

Ouch shop! Sounds like something I would do. I like that everyone is more concerned about the shoes than about your leg.

shopafrolic · 04/11/2015 17:42

Clinks glass with Linus "you shall go to the ball........pit"

shopafrolic · 04/11/2015 17:44

Longislandicetee · 04/11/2015 17:46

Hope you have a nice evening Linus!

Shop those sparkly boots need to be kept away from me and I am erm a bit older than 25!Grin

Drywhitethanks · 04/11/2015 17:48

Gosh linus apologies, Happy Birthday to you too Wine [santa] because I'm feeling Christmassy

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 04/11/2015 17:57

oh! if i could stand to wear heels i would LOVE those boots. Dsis would despair of me in them but i would wear them all the time hahaha

shopafrolic · 04/11/2015 18:14

I actually love them and if they were pointy (and not broke) I would buy them immediately

shopafrolic · 04/11/2015 18:19

and I wasn't broke

libertydoddle · 04/11/2015 21:39

blingy I think I would wear the dress at weekends. Would be good alternative to jeans all the time. Lara I am going to sleep on it for a day or two!

I love those boots shop Smile

dry I am feeling christmassy too! As we are going away at the end of this month I have to have Christmas organised before I go so I am in full present buying mode and plan to write my cards this weekend.

FedupNagging · 04/11/2015 22:16

Fabulous sparkly boots Shop

Am not really a James Bond fan (last time I watched a James Bond film was 1985 Blush ) but Spectre was suprisingly brilliant on imax and even if the story line is a little shaky the special effects are fantastic.

Have had a quick look at the Balmain collection but can't really see me wearing any of it except maybe these clutches so won't be clamouring to get online at 9am tomorrow.

Lib re your dress, sensible advice from Lara - let us know what you decide tomorrow. Is it one for the sales wish list maybe?

I have drunk far too much Chardonnay so heading to bed - its taken me ages to post this as keep making typos!

Oh noooooo liberty you've reminded me! Now I have to have my annual rant about how much I hate chridtmas cards Grin [santa]

Feeling a bit tired of guests, it was easy when I worked P/T. Spanish exchange student now. Quite a pressure looking after someone else's teen, hoping they're ok and not homesick and keeping them busy and not just slobbing out like my two . We have Spanish exchange + guests this weekend, not quite sure how I'm going to get everything done feeling mildly stressed, have invested in a lot of Gaviscon my heart burn is going nuts

Longislandicetee · 04/11/2015 22:32

Lib if you're sure you would wear it then get it and at least try it on. I am really trying to wear occasional bits that are out of my comfort zone so understand the feeling.

Dry do I have your address? I am determined to send you a card this year!Grin I am determined to have my cards written and posted (big feat!) by early December.

maradesbois · 04/11/2015 22:40

Evening Voguettes,

Just popping in to wish the lovely Linus and Shop a very happy birthday. Both gorgeous stylish girls who it's been a pleasure to meet irl.

Lib I say go for it, am trying to wear jeans less too.

Blair didn't see the H&M collab but would be wary. Think it's always H&M quality/factories which is fine at the normal price but not when they add ££.

Dry good luck, am exhausted just reading that!

Drywhitethanks · 04/11/2015 22:56

Grin I know your game Bling, you're going to get my address to "send a Christmas card", next thing I know you'll be on my doorstep with your large suitcase Grin drinking all my wine, messing up my cushions, feet on coffee table, loosing your diamonds.......Grin....... Infact, when can you come?

libertydoddle · 04/11/2015 23:02

Oh yeah... I need your address too dry Wink plans sneaky trip in time for the next knees up in the dry summer house

libertydoddle · 04/11/2015 23:07

And a number of people already have said yes to a lunchtime MU on Sat 23rd Jan in London. So far me, Blingy, Sleep, Marsha, Mara, Amber, Blair and Fedup (sorry if I have forgotten anyone).

Anyone else able to make it? All very welcome Smile

libertydoddle · 04/11/2015 23:11

Topazandpearl · 05/11/2015 06:45

Belated birthday wishes to Linus and Shop. Hope you both had a great day. Working late yesterday and it was a tough day, so it was lovely to hear that another mu is being planned. Having a catch up now with my morning coffee before work. Have a lovely day everyone.

Topazandpearl · 05/11/2015 06:52
