(Not intending to wear them together)

BendyBusBuggy · 23/01/2016 19:52

I love Topazandpearl's Uniqlo haul

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/01/2016 20:15

On train home, after a lovely afternoon/evening of good food and lots of fizz. It was so nice to see everyone, quite a cosy MU with just the 6 of us but that actually meant it was easier to chat Grin and we'll have a big one next time I'm sure.

Sleep was looking lovely in a beaded dress and with fab gold bag.
fedup had on her new sparkly c de c jumper and great jewellery.
Amber had her fab Valentino bag, cropped flares and rocked the red lipstick.
Lib was looking autumnal in R&B Chelsea boots and leather skirt with sparkly j crew top.
And Marsha and I went casual in jeans, heeled ankle boots (her rag and bone me pistols).

It was really hot in the restaurant!! But a good time was had by all.

And when I left Lib I somehow managed to go straight into LK Bennett and buy the brown riding boots she bought Blush they are gorgeous!!

Longislandicetee · 23/01/2016 20:18

Hello Bendy! Of course you can barge in. I like the suit. Where did you get it? I am afraid you will have to wait for Lib for some brogue love. I just don't get them!Grin

libertydoddle · 23/01/2016 20:31

Marni brogues! Two of my favourite words. Love them bendy and welcome.

Lovely MU. Usual great round of chat and everyone looking fab! I'll try and pick up anything Blair missed on outfits....

Marsha's hair looked really good!
I so want a cape exactly like Blair's. Just lovely. In fact her outfit from today with the new LKB boots will be perfect.
I am going to buy lou's bag. Just means we can never go out at night together again Grin
To match her lippy amber rocked a very gorgeous red McQueen scarf.
fedup should always wear pink. Suits her so well. And has made me want some occataine perfume...

Lots of fun as always. We must book in another one asap.

MarshaBrady · 23/01/2016 20:35

Blair that is impressive!

Blair looked classically gorgeous in a cape - a great look for people like Blair who can
Sleep had an ace dress on
Amber had stripes and fabulous lipstick
Lib look awesome in mustard
Fedup look really good in Maje (was it?) hot pink

It was really good fun. I was casual, but that's fine I may need new clothes. We should book another in soon

MarshaBrady · 23/01/2016 20:36

Lib, Blair Fedup did you just leave?

AmberNectarine · 23/01/2016 21:17

I can't believe no one mentioned the kitty flats!

Loved Lib's boots, sleep's parka, Marsha's hair, Blair's watch and FedUp's bag. Lovely afternoon spent in great company. Agree it was nice to get to chat to everyone properly, but the rest of you were missed! Smile

Hope QueenC is having a lovely break and that Shop and Mara's parties went off without a hitch!

KittyHello · 23/01/2016 21:20

Sounds like a lovely mu, great sounding outfits, really hope I can make the next one. Went out for a family meal for dh's birthday.

Longislandicetee · 23/01/2016 21:28

Sounds like a great MU!Envy

Bendy, I knew you would get brogue love from Lib!!

Had I been there today, I would have been using my "new" Mulberry Roxanne. It is love!

Longislandicetee · 23/01/2016 21:33

Kitty I think it was you that asked about the bag. Here's a pic. Love I tell you, love! Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/01/2016 21:39

I liked fedup's bag too, where is it from?

So funny about the cape, when I tried on the riding boots I looked like a highwayman. Then I remembered that is what HoC say that the Romantic (I think?) style personality should use as inspiration Grin

Amber how could we forget the kitty flats? So cute, One would love them.

Hello Bendy, like the brogues :)

shopafrolic · 23/01/2016 21:42

So tired. One happy DS. Pics on FB and Insta. DH is home Grin back tomorrow Smile

shopafrolic · 23/01/2016 22:14

BTW Mother sweatshirt arrived in time for the party and is just brill. Really long sleeves - perfect.

Drywhitethanks · 23/01/2016 22:18

Well done Shop

MU sounds fab.....next time.

Bendy welcome Smile nice trouser suit. Tell us about yourself, love a newbie......fashion personality? still searching for mine

Karcheer · 23/01/2016 22:28

blingy I always wanted one of those! gorgeous!

KittyHello · 23/01/2016 22:35

Love the bag Blingy and the colour, I could never understand why they discontinued it, it's such a great bag.

Btw it was Safety who posted about the block shoes, boots? not me.

Shop glad the party was a success but they're knackering too

Mara how did your party go?

Hello Bendy come back and tell about your style

Dry are you feeling better now?

Amber I was wondering what footwear you wore with your cropped flares, I like the sound of them.

BendyBusBuggy · 23/01/2016 22:49

Hello, thank you Lib, Blair, Dry and Kitty.

The suit is from Yoox, it's a Dolce & Gabbana bought in the sale with extra discount - bargain! (Otherwise it would have been decidedly out of my budget)

Hmm, my style.
Casual dresser when at home - jeans, t-shirt and jumper or cardi. Skirts in summer. I don't think dresses flatter me, but like them very much on other people.
At work - lots of black trousers and silk shirts, some skirts and some suits. I love heels but have a limit at just short of 4 inches in that I cannot walk in higher ones which has restricted me in the last couple of years because most of the heels were really high.
I don't own any boots except a pair of black desert boots.

I do most of my shopping online, a lot at the outnet, brora, last underwear haul was agent provocateur (with a terrible success rate in terms of actual fit!)

Sorry this is long

BendyBusBuggy · 23/01/2016 22:51

Blngy, the bag is lovely!

BendyBusBuggy · 23/01/2016 23:13

Example recent purchases

shirt

another shirt

trousers

Drywhitethanks · 23/01/2016 23:39

Great purchases Bendy....... I LOVE the silk turquoise shirt especially

Topazandpearl · 24/01/2016 06:49

Sorry Kitty and safety for getting mixed up on the shoes Blush.

Welcome Bendy, great bargains, especially on the turquoise silk and the trousers.

I'm glad the mu went so well. Here's to the next one.

Really lovely bag Blingy. I love my Mulberry Araline all the more because it has been discontinued.

Excellent timing that the sweatshirt arrived on time for the party shop. I bet it got many compliments.

MarshaBrady · 24/01/2016 08:15

Welcome Bendy love your links. I bought some MiH Paris from Yoox recently - I should have another look for work stuff.

Blingy great bag

VivaVegas · 24/01/2016 08:34

Morning all!
Finally back in the land of the living, horrible flu, really knocked me out. Hope those who haven't been feeling great this week are on the mend.
Glad the MU was good, hope to be able to make one.
Shop what's the sizing like on the sweatshirt and is it a true red as opposed to an orangey red? I get their feed on my fb and have liked the look of the sweats.
Not much fashion news, all of my Hush sale order went back, just didn't like any of it on me and I normally do well with their stuff.
Got this [[http://pin.it/xyOatfL
Massimo Dutti top]] which I've kept, quite nice for a casual evening out.
Needing to do an underwear bulk buy next as mine is a disgrace but other than that not sure I need anything else at the moment, famous last words...........

FedupNagging · 24/01/2016 09:22

Morning all,

Great MU yesterday, it was lovely to have a good chat to everyone. We definitely missed those that couldn't make it though. Obviously I have to do a MU roundup:

Lib looked great in her autumn colours and leather skirt - thanks for organising
Marsha loved the checked shirt (forgot to tell you), very disappointed you didn't want us to help you spend your Liberty vouchers after several bottles of fizz!
Sleep rocked the boho rock chic look and fab bag
Amber Loved the red lips and looked amazing despite being hungover a little tired
Blair really lovely MK cape and blue definitely suits you. Good work on the boot purchase.

Thanks for the bag love - its a Kate Spade.

One last thing, I just wanted to say that despite our whittering on here about lovely clothes, shoes and whispers expensive bags, the vogue ladies are so much more than that; all are well educated, have good jobs, lovely families and amazingly, can hold a conversation on subjects besides fashion!
