MNV-Vol 66. The Christmas Edition.

[QueenC]

It's that time of year again.....blingy and dry have already been wearing their Christmas jumpers.
Come and join in the festivities. All welcome, new and old. Just bring your sparkly links.

Hand a stone, eh? I've put on HALF a stone

Thanks for the Boden discount tip off Queen. I've also just done a big trouser order. These boots look lovely so have chucked in a pair too along with a couple of cotton summer dresses.

Snow boots on order - loved the silver but decided that colour is not too practical for tramping through muddy woods and football pitches.

Cheers Stokey, I'm on the white - dry Jan didn't really work for me, I lasted until Tuesday

I've always fancied silver moon boots.

My Jemima Vine red suede pointy slippers arrived and it's another win for my stylist Shop. Love them and they immediately feel comfortable. V happy now v skint but have 2 pairs of red shoes, 2 broderie tops to my name

Mara I've had Shellac manicures on since the beginning of December, they last longer on me. Just love how polished a manicure makes me feel. Could get addicted. Beautiful nails x

Am really enjoying hearing about the OOTDs, can we make this a joint NY resolution?

Doing Dry Jan , not bad yet. Even the half drunk bottle of prosecco in the fridge since 29/12 hasn't called me yet

shop be my stylist too.
dry I have shellac every week without fail.

Ootd uniqlo therma cream top, turquoise prada jumper, zara skinnies, pink mud coloured nikes.

I bought a new Lancôme mascara in brown today. Plus loads of stuff for my college course.

Karcheer have just done a full night out on the Karen boots and they are v comfy but style wise more night than daytime I think
Fan night. Too many cocktails. Back tomorrow with a sore head.
Dry I knew they'd be prefect for you x

I wear my Karen boots to work/at the weekend and find them pretty comfy.

Morning everyone! Have been unwell for the last week with sinusitis with no end in sight. Was in bed all day yesterday and think that's where I will be today too. Lovely catching up with the thread.

Morning. I managed to avoid the booze at book club last week but have woken up with the most hideous headache. Dh reckons I'm withdrawing from booze .
Nice boots fedup. Am tempted by the silver. Happy to be enabling with the boden code. Jigsaw and mint velvet usually have boots similar to jalouse but still ££
shop glad you had a good night
dry I don't get with gel nails and shellac as they still chip on me. I prefer vinulyx.

Just a lazy day here. About to take dd to netball so had better get out of my dressing gown. As predicted im a little sore so making myself do the shred when I get back will be hard.

Yuk. Just yuk. That is all really. DS woke me at 6am (I got in at 1am). Fab night.

Looks like it was worth it though Shop

Im ready for spring now, really miss ankle grazers and pointy flats

Me too. I'd still love some pale blue skinnies I didn't get last year.

Morning!

Ouch shop! Sounds like you had a fab night though.

blingy I hope you feel better soon.

fedup what size are you in the Jalouses. I have been thinking of getting rid of mine as I don't wear them much anymore as I feel they are too pointy for me. I think I'm a 38 but I'll have to check. You can have them if it's your size.

Does anyone have a White Company code lying around? I want to buy DS some pj's but hate paying fp for something he'll grow out of in no time.

Blingy I can sympathise as I still have flu, been out of action for 4 days now and just eaten something for the first time since Tuesday, I'm hoping the worst has passed.
Loving the links to browse and OOTD as there is none of that going on here! DH has just taken the DC to their swimming lessons so I'm going to make a bit of an effort and shower and get dressed. Then it'll probably be another day of sofa/bed.

Oh no Viva that sounds awful. I had flu before I got glandular fever and my non eating period was about 4 days as well, so hopefully you're on the mend now. Lots of water and painkillers helped me.

Blingy hope you feel better soon too. to you both.

shop less sympathy for you as self inflicted... glad you had a good time, your outfit sounded fab and you looked tres chic in the photos!

Goal for the weekend - buy new curtain pole to replace dodgy one, put it up and hang new curtains made by lovely MIL. I'll probably just be "helping" DH do it, but DIY makes me so anxious!

And I'm going to start my new colouring book - yay.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Morning, 6am sounds very painful Shop but looked fun.

Thanks for the Outnet heads-up. I've got two pairs of R&B - a mid-rise skinny and high-rise skinny- and high-rise skinny 7FAM winging their way here. I had to size up on the R&B as there were none in my size so will see how they go, at least 2 will be going back!

OOTD is new Hush jumper, black skinnies & probably black Stans when I go out. A local production company are doing Oliver! & auditions are today so DD1 & I are going along.. "I'd do anything.... " la la

Once I get out if smelly gym kit my OOTD will be black skinnies, black slouchy sweater over white TS shirt, camel coat and white SS....
Going to the gym is funny in Jan, lots of newbies taking my spot and loads of shiny new trainers....making me want a new pair too.

Blingy and Viva sorry to hear you arte both still poorly, not good, hope you both perk up soon

Karcheer what course are you doing? Pm if you don't want to say on here. I'm popping into town later and may probably buy some brown Lance mascara too.

Stokey which part are you auditioning for?

Again lovely to hear everyone's ootd. Mine is black JCrew Dannie pants, I try not to wear jeans at the weekend and olive Me&Em top, will put on grey shearling pistols, and black funnel coat when I go out. It's raining and I haven't protected my bag so will use R&B quilted bag instead.

Talking of protecting bags what do you use, I think Shop I've heard you mention Colonil, which one do you use as there are loads on Amazon?

Typo central are and Lancome

hi kitty,

I'm doing a HND in interior design :)

Thanks everyone. Viva didn't realise you were still sick too. Poor you.

OOTD is a La Perla nightie. Its like this one but in beige. Dh had a smile for about a millisecond then remembered I am sick. Bless. I went down for lunch and covered up in a pink la senza dressing gown. If I had any energy I would shop to pass the time!

BTW Shop you looked very sexy last night.

Hello everyone. Decided to take the plunge with the local tailor on the playsuit, he seems to know his stuff and he undercharged me as my first order. Fingers crossed it's going to turn out OK.

Still thinking about this sweater, now half price. Is it a no no for petites?

Viva and Blingy hope you feel better soon.

Shop looked like a fab night

Ok have been busy but need to make a decision.

The Lanvins are nude, nude. I'd say the colour of American mid tan tights. Not blush pink.

I love them as an idea but when I put them on it's hard to see them! Ie they are nearly the same colour as me.

Here's the flats, will try and find an equivalent on

Well done Safety the playsuit was ace

This is the MyTheresa colour so slightly different, lighter, more like blush
