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.

ouch lib you poor thing, that looks very painful, hope they calm down soon

Longislandicetee · 02/12/2015 20:56

Omg Lib you poor thing! the little buggers like to chomp on me too, but don't think I have ever had 10 at once.

Mara, I also feel the love for your course in your posts. It's lovely.

In theory I have a free afternoon to shop or sightsee but the weather is miserable and have a ton of work plus online shopping to do.

Thanks for the Xmas love FedUp. Am quite excited by a couple of the presents I have bought. This necklace is my current favourite which I bought for one dsis, and have bought the other some KG boots. Also love this Calvin Klein watch for one dsil and the chemise I linked last week for the other. Also love this Espirit watch which I got for dbil. I may struggle to hand these things over!

I have a question for everyone...what do male teachers normally get at Xmas? I have combination of White Company candles and Parks gift sets for the female teachers, TAs, activity teachers etc.

MarshaBrady · 02/12/2015 21:08

Evening lovely voguettes.

lol Dry at hand near your head. Sometimes my engagement ring flashes diamond-y flashes of sparkle. Have to wave the hand around a bit only bling I have, I am the inverse Novice!

Mara how exciting about the MNV shirt, I love it. Will really suit you too. How is the essay going? Navy and burgundy are fab colours.

Justa not madness I don't think, I am on the second orange slightly bigger Céline trio and would probably get a third for my next bag! I agree with you about the strap on the AH.

Happy I felt the same, felt good to see someone put December at the front of a work thing.

Blair you poor thing, I hope you have some answers soon and feel better too. Love the sound of your outnet order.

Stokey the theatre thing sounds great.

One that's great news.

Shop how's the kitchen?

Lib I hope those mossies go away.

Dh is good with work stuff, NOT good at passport applications oth, he didn't sign the blinking thing. Even the guy at the passport office said you had better not tell your wife. Arg! Might be an issue for Christmas. Need to get them for the dc before we book.

MarshaBrady · 02/12/2015 21:09

Blingy not sure, ds had a male teacher but it was a while ago and I can't recall what we bought.

Karcheer · 02/12/2015 21:23

Evening, the VB dress is going back, it's huge!

QueenCardi · 02/12/2015 21:29

I feel like ive been awol for ages and ive really missed chatting to you all. Work gets in the way! Really enjoying it though and after week 2 I seem to be getting into the routine. Went out for Christmas pizza today with people in the office which was good although I think I must be the oldest. A lot are straight out of uni!

lib I feel your pain. The bastards go for me too and I got loads in majorca. The stronger over the counter spray worked though so hopefully your prescription stuff will too.
dry primark have those elf shoes if you're tempted.....
mara I'm sure you'll get the essay done. Just don't beat yourself up if it's not as good a mark as last time as its a really busy time of year
blair glad the crop top is good
one fabulous news for you both
justa if you think you'll use another colour then go for it. You know you love the style and that it works for you.

Apologies if I've forgotten anyone. I'm close to passing out with tiredness!

Drywhitethanks · 02/12/2015 21:30

Blingy wine? I don't know a man who dislikes chocolate. Mug for his fav football team. Will have a think.......

Drywhitethanks · 02/12/2015 21:49

It's been a year of changes and achievements on here hasnt it? Jobs, studying, moving etc. everyone's had something. Cheers friends.

MarshaBrady · 02/12/2015 21:58

It has . cheers to you all

Karcheer · 02/12/2015 22:11

I need to study or get a new job next year...

Drywhitethanks · 02/12/2015 22:19

QueenC pm

Drywhitethanks · 02/12/2015 22:20

Noooo Karcheer I'm just feeling sentimental. This is normally what happens around NYD on here, a massive MNV love fest ........

MarshaBrady · 02/12/2015 22:34

Haha I'm feeling it already too

Karcheer · 02/12/2015 22:38

Oh no, I really do. I need some refocus. But right now need to concentrate on the building work.

Drywhitethanks · 02/12/2015 22:46

That's an achievement in itself....were you. Around last year when I was extending?

Karcheer · 02/12/2015 22:55

I'm not sure. I think so. It takes up so much time and effort - all good though.

VivaVegas · 02/12/2015 23:25

Just passing through, far too busy with everything, could do with a month off work to do what I want/need to do!

MarshaBrady · 03/12/2015 00:08

I've stayed up to do lots of little planning things for Christmas etc. Am beat! But feels good that I've got some things of the list

MarshaBrady · 03/12/2015 08:45

I feel good in this outfit today - Marant Fiji jumper, Rag&Bone skinnies, and Lanvin boots. Marant check scarf. Always a win when I wear something other than my Marant ankle boots as they're so easy and I wear them loads.

Oh and no coat! I left it at work as ran home, but I'm fine without it, so mild.

What's everyone wearing today?

AmberNectarine · 03/12/2015 08:50

I'm doing Dolce & Gabbana style today in Rosemunde black lace long sleeved top, M&S black high waisted pencil skirt with zip all the way down the back, burgundy MK heels, gold z by accessorize medallion and red lip, of course!

Karcheer · 03/12/2015 09:19

Currently in white company pjs and dressing gown and just sheepskin boot slippers, I've been up all night being sick, I've given myself food poisoning I think. No food today!

maradesbois · 03/12/2015 10:04

Morning,

Oh no Karcheer, get well soon.

Marsha snap for the marant boots, so comfy I wear them nearly every day atm. And they work with nearly everything. Trying to diversify too. Acne colts today with marrakesh as need the heel height for long jeans but they are really too high for daytime. I got the bus to the tube today (only 3 stops ). 30% student travel discount though

maradesbois · 03/12/2015 10:06

And tea cheers to you too Dry, it has been a busy year for everyone. Shame Christmas mu didn't work out and don't think I can do the jan one if its still the date that was talked about. Miss my Voguettes!

shopafrolic · 03/12/2015 10:26

Morning all - kitchen coming along - handles going on today :) Templating the granite on Monday I think. Might get the oak worktop installed this week. Starting to see it now. Exciting.
Low style stakes today as am having major dental work at midday (think of me) so black GAP skinnies, black GAP merino crew neck and new black biker boots which I am so pleased I bought.
Lib I met a seasoned traveller in GC who swore that old fashioned cologne works to repel the mozzies better than Deet repellant. Never got to try it but I was eaten alive - sending sympathetic hugs and anti itch vibes.

QueenCardi · 03/12/2015 12:41

I'm still in my sports gear from this morning. Ive had so many chores to do in and out of the house that I thought I'd shower before the afternoon school run.
Hope you feel better soon karcheer
Thinking of you shop
