Phew, ive had a morning of rushing around and now I'm going to treat myself to an hour of unadulteted ME time on the iPad Smile.

Yes to wearing that shop. Or have the pink boots had an outing yet?
one sounds pretty miserable poor you. That reminds me-I'm still to send the pixi toner!
fedup some gorgeous stuff on ted baker. Another shop that ive never bought from before.

The warehouse dresses came and I'm pretty sure there's a keeper....

this one. My initial reticence was the boob issue as it possibly looked a bit matronly but I think ive sorted that with a different bra that flattens them down a bit!! But I love it and it makes me want to twirl around Grin

This dress is gorgeous but didn't do me any favours as the waist sat too high. Also not very vegas-y but would be lovely on someone else for a different occasion.

Love the "keeper" dress QueenC! I've missed most of the dress hunt, but I am very excited about you going to Vegas and can't wait to hear all about it when you go Envy

Fedup I am ok thanks, just think I caught a very mild cold from a colleague last week, and this week I've just been unbelievably tired, like going to bed at 9.30 every night and waking up at 7 wishing for more hours. Work is busy too. On the plus side I had some blood tests a few days ago and I know my liver is back to normal well I knew that after the MU Grin

One sorry to hear you've not been well, shoulder sounds painful! Hope all is ok now.

We are at PILs this weekend, it's DFIL's birthday tomorrow and they are having a gathering so I have an outfit to plan. Might wear the navy MK dress, their house is always tropical!

QueenC · 05/02/2016 13:56

Gah, ive given up trying to paste the other one. overall I was really impressed. Warehouse had been off my radar for a while but is now firmly back on.

All I need now is shoes grin

I forgot to say a massive thank you to all for linkng dresses. It made me try on and order different styles.

I'm trying to link the so called " granny shoes" ie ballet flats with heels? What's the verdict on here? I actually really like the grey topshop ones but if I see one more blogger with them on IG I may scream Grin

Lovely dress Queen. I too am also jealous about Vegas, we used to go every year pre DC (hence my MN name). I take it you are leaving the DC at home?!

QueenC · 05/02/2016 14:14

Absolutely vegas!!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/02/2016 14:22

QueenC I can still give you tips! Also I'm sure fedup went a few months after I did? Plus vegas of course! (So jealous of going every year, did you always stay at the same place?)

BerniceBobsHerHair · 05/02/2016 14:28

I like the dress you picked QC.

I kind of like those granny shoes but I don't think they will have much longevity. I don't think you should wear them to Vegas either!!

I love these chanel ones. Are they the ones you have Amber? Envy

I quite like this tribute from office.

One hope you feel better soon.

Shop I like your tried and tested formula.

Stokey · 05/02/2016 15:15

Love that dress QueenC, I can really picture you in it.

Funny how shops fall on and off the radar.

Thanks for the leggings link Viva, i wouldn't have thought of Next.

Summer holiday is coming together, feel like I need sunshine right now though. OOTD R&B skinnies, pale grey silk mix shirt, coablt fluffy Hush jumper, purple scarf & black Stans.

Dh remarked how much he liked the seams on my jeans Shop! Reminded me of you asking about them.

VivaVegas · 05/02/2016 15:17

Blair we stayed at lots of different places, some of which have since been knocked down!
Crazy times, have been back once since DC on a girls trip but doubt we will be able to go together again until the DC old enough to be left which is ages away.
I've also developed a fear of flying that I never used to have which I really need to sort out!

Karcheer · 05/02/2016 15:44

viva I'm a lot more nervous about flying now than I used to be.
blair how did I miss that you were going to Vegas? What fun! Sophora on the strip, helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, I was going to say clubbing at tryst, but it's closed and being opened as something else #gettingold. Pool parties, you must see a show.
Where are you staying?

AmberNectarine · 05/02/2016 16:12

A friend has that warehouse dress QueenC, it's gorgeous!

QueenC · 05/02/2016 16:17

bernice don't worry, I wasn't planning on buying them or wearing them to vegas Grin. Their popularity actually puts me off them as I wonder if people buy them because they like them or because they think they should. Even eve worn out has pretty much admitted she panic bought the gold ones.

amber what shoes/sandals does your friend wear with it? It needs a heel but I don't want anything too high.

Beautiful dress QueenC can see why you want to twirl

shopafrolic · 05/02/2016 22:56

Stokey my DH would never notice the seams on my jeans. Impressive Grin

Drywhitethanks · 05/02/2016 23:24

QueenC I LOVE the dress, very nice. Warehouse has always worked for me. Really really nice.

Ok, MNV, bit bored so I tried on all my summer stuff and can state that I don't need any more summer clothes for my holiday Hmm, even formal nights unless I double in size before AugustGrin .

MarshaBrady · 06/02/2016 07:09

QueenC love the dress you've chosen. Really pretty and perfect for you.

I remember being in Vegas when I was mid 20s, we stayed at Circus Circus, was a blast.

VivaVegas · 06/02/2016 08:17

What sort of shoes are you looking for to wear with the dress Queen?
These navy/black heels any good?

MarshaBrady · 06/02/2016 09:52

I'm really excited about going to Hong Kong and Singapore soon. Business class Grin Blingy look away at my flying innocence. Will be good fun with the people going.

But what do I wear?! It's hot isn't it, so I need smart, warm weather stuff.

What's good? I feel really under prepared. Have a couple of weeks to get some stuff.

Longislandicetee · 06/02/2016 09:55

Morning! Love the final choice of dress QueenC! You and Dry always remind me to go back to warehouse, i think will have a little look later.

It's been a busy work week and dealing with dd has sapped my energy so I haven't been here. Style wise, I got my blue Balenciaga City bag and Valentino shoe boots out and that's influenced my clothes all week. Much of which has been different navys and Blues including this gorgeous Me and Em dress which I just bought for £30 and this lovely Armani dress which cost me considerably more than that! Dress down yesterday, which always nearly brings me out in hives as I used to get it very wrong. But loved my choice of this j crew starburst top with grey Austin Reed trousers. Quite interesting to theme the whole week around a bag and a pair of shoes. I might try it again next week with something else. For today, my already beloved Mulberry Roxanne is coming out to play.Smile

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 06/02/2016 12:44

thanks all

blingy you always sound so well put together, hope DD is okay

queen the keeper dress is fab, I used to really rate warehouse but haven't looked for ages, maybe I should as the last thing i bought from there is still going strong now.

Singapore sounds exciting marsha have you ever been before?

blair hope you're looking after yourself

QueenC · 06/02/2016 13:35

Glad you all like the dress. vegas those are nice and the sort of thing I've been looking at. It needs a shoe/sandal that's not too heavy looking. I don't do really pointy things though or really high heels. I've got a few weeks so I'm sure I'll find something.
marsha that sounds really exciting. You may need layers though as they may have icy cold air con?
