Fur or feathers, leather or lace, suede or velvet, come & tell us what you're wearing as the festive season comes our way. What's on your Christmas wishlist and what are you saving for the sales?

From designer to downtown, all are very welcome for chats about fashion, frolics and whatever else tickles your fancy.

Just finished the 2nd bottle of wine - fingers crossed there's no hangover tomorrow. Oh, I didn't drink both, dh helped!

Strictly was fab tonight and now watching the jungle. lady c is a 'mare

Dry I'm like that on quiz nights - usually pissed by round 2 and no help whatsoever dh takes them far to one seriously

libertydoddle · 22/11/2015 08:00

No late night drunk post from shop! How was it??

blingy and dry. Thanks both of you for the idea of a tooth fairy note. It would not have occurred to me. DD was more excited about the card than the money - she absolutely loved it!

QueenCardi · 22/11/2015 08:34

lib if you get some glitter or edible glitter stuff used for cakes you can make fairy dust too. Trouble is they expect it every time.

What's everyone's plans today? I'm waiting for Dh to show his face (I'm assuming it was messy as there's evidence of late night chips in the kitchen Grin) and then will do some exercise. My plan is then trying on some work outfits so I know what I'm wearing this week.

But first, links....

QueenCardi · 22/11/2015 08:50

Wouldn't this be annoying?

Drywhitethanks · 22/11/2015 08:58

Plans today....take paracetamol and get to gym, catch up on Strictly and Jungle, make Star costume.

That would drive me mad queenc! I would probably get it caught everywhere and let it hang in the toilet bowl whilst flushing the loo. Wink

lib DS is about your DD's age and shows no signs of losing his milk teeth. He wants to though as his older cousin has lost loads.

I still shudder at the memory of DM pulling out my milk teeth once they started to get a bit loose. She used to be a nurse but forgot her bedside manner with her own DC. Hmm

Not dressed yet but I feel like wearing a skirt so I might wear my old Ossie Clarke one or maybe the black H&M midi one from last year. With a black Tippi jumper to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn.

The DC and DH are outside playing in the snow, there's not a lot but enough to keep them occupied for a bit and let me wake up in peace. Grin

Plans for the day - get up eventually, long dog walk, clear leaves in the garden, catch up on laundry, cook dinner, watch strictly and jungle, bed. God that is such an uninspiring day.....

Love the whole lace blouse outfit you have just pinned Queen.

I love those metallic Lanvin QueenC - going to look at them when the sales start.

Thanks for cardi comments. I also loved these Marant dark suede ankle boots. I didn't get them as it felt too indulgent but now I keep looking at them. What do you think? Please talk me out of them! or vice versa if you think so.

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2015 10:10

They wouldn't be fp btw

shopafrolic · 22/11/2015 11:13

Love those boots for you Marsha
Morning all! What an awesome night. The lovely Sleep and I went to see Faithless. Such a top evening. As we pulled up in the cab I bumped into a bunch of guys I used to go clubbing with 'back in the day' - what are the chances!? Faithless were incredible - lighting was amazing. Older crowd - all good.
I stayed at Sleep's and then drove back this morning - feeling fairly fresh so off with DH and DS to start some Christmas shopping. Wish me luck.
Hope everyone is having lovely weekends.

Morning! It's blinking cold! Have been out already as I run Sunday School at church once a month and it was my turn today. The car said the temperature was -1 when I was leaving so my outfit is identical to yesterday's one - gap skinnies (they're 25' high rise so only ever get to wear them when I am feeling slim!), my gorgeous primark Breton (several years old and slightly faded but it's the perfect fit) under this James Perse sweater. Bling was mix of what one might call religious and err not so religious! One of the mums came up to me at the end and asked me where my biker boots where from.Grin I wouldn't want Voguettes to think I was letting the side down at the crack of dawn in a freezing Sunday morning!Grin

Lib so so glad your dd loved the tooth fairy noteSmile Dry when I said was sorting out advent calendars, that wasn't an euphemism for anything!! Although I wish it were as dd turned up in our room at midnight when we just about to have sex.Hmm lets just say it killed the mood! I have brought out the big guns today - am wearing dh's favourite under all the layers.Wink

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 22/11/2015 11:39

hello all

it's freezing here so i'm bundled up in layers. I was absolutely tempted to put a onesie on as im not leaving the house today but i resisted so am instead in mid blue skinnies, grey nirvana tee and mid green ribbed boyfriend cardigan. nicely accessorised with rainbow stripe slippers and compression bandages haha

Dreamqueen · 22/11/2015 11:44

I love your links Queen Will use them as inspiration to stick to low carbing next week. I've gone slightly off the rails with carbs last week.
Have a lovely Sunday MN Voguettes!

Longislandicetee · 22/11/2015 12:01

Love those links QueenC. Love the Oscar de la Renta jacket and the Tom Ford top. Those Lavin pumps are perfect for Marsha.

Shop glad you and Sleep had such a great time. Photos looked great!
