MNV Volume 68

[Drywhitethanks]

Feeling a bit sick of winter clothes? Looking forward to Spring Summer? Dry (and not-so-dry) January is over. Come and join us for fashion links and more. It's friendly here.

Cheryl looked like an extra from The Wedding Singer.
Outfit sounds good Amber but know what you mean about irritations. That would bug me too.
No great style news here. School run mum uniform of Paige Jimmies, Pistols, winging it sweatshirt and GAP herringbone blazer with Bobbl hat. Feeling very stuck in a rut but I guess that's just life?

Mara I always think of you when I see Marni. You always sound such a stylish student. Sounds as though you are loving it. How long does the course last?

Oh dear! Is all I can say about the Brits! My iPad won't let me open the daily mail links, it tries but then closes. Surely Cheryl was wearing that dress for a bet?
The way vb is wearing her jumper makes me feel like she's very cold!

Ootd white h&m vest, ivory with a gold hand of Fatima sweatshirt from spiritual gangster, my new khaki j brands.
Not sure what boots yet.
I'm still sick, I've now got a dreadful headache as well, but I think that might be because I've cut out caffeine as this isn't good for the first problem :(

reduced Superstars in red if anyone is feeling brave.

They've edited that video of VB exiting the building . a couple of days ago they had footage of her where it cearly shows her inside the building talking with her people ,and then she walks back and disappears behind the corner then comes out gliding and strutting out ,like what models do , but more drmatic, ,it was the funniest thing I've seen ,

shop I feel I'm stuck too,

I want to shop, and I've seen some great things, but just feel so not into it,anyone feels the same?

We are watching the people VS OJ and its so interesting ,I remember the trial, it was all over TV, even in the small town we lived in back then, so surreal watching the car chase again, can't wait for the third episode

Shop am halfway through, need to start thinking about next step, eek. Yes, Marni is defo one of my favourite labels, shame it's a bloody expensive one fp! Btw as ruts go yours is a pretty cool one. I think that at this time of year as the evenings get lighter but it is still resolutely winter we have the itch to change wardrobes but the frustration of knowing its too soon to scratch.

True - I am definitely impatient for sunshine Mara :)

Remember the oj car chase too Lara it was so surreal. And the infamous bruno magli shoe.

Am watching new season of the good wife, you too dry? Think it is fab as ever, rare to keep going for so long without getting tired.

That would annoy me too amber.
shop it's the time of year. No point buying more winter stuff but can't wear spring stuff yet. I'm so sick of my black cords and boots for work but it's -1 in the mornings and just too cold for shoes.

Ootd is meh. Black cords, grey blouse, dark violet cardi. It's the grey blouse I hardly ever wear and the whole ensemble is too dark for me.

Glad it's not just me not interested in shopping.
All I have bought this month are some running socks and a belt to carry running gels! Not very exciting but I'm running the London Marathon in April and training for the next 5 weeks is pretty hardcore! Will definitely be needing a massage and pedicure after that!

Oh wow vegas that's amazing. We will be cheering you on. I would have loved to have done a marathon.

Why the past tense QueenC? You still could? Awesome Vegas
My DB is the marathon runner in my family - I'll leave the hard work to him

My hardcore running days are behind me shop. The last 10k I did before I had dc3 had me in back pain for 6 weeks!

Dd has just gone out looking very grown up in jeggings, wedges and lipgloss!

That's great Vegas, will definitely cheer you on from the comfort of my sofa

Ootd was newly dyed skinnies (again), pink boden jumper, giant pink & purple Paisley scarf and pettys.

We were having some work done on the house today and the noise was so loud we ended up going out for lunch in a dog friendly country pub complete with roaring log fire. 'Twas bliss.

Apart from summer dresses I'm also a bit meh about clothes shopping - just as well as I'm not spending this month!

Forgot to wave to Topaz

Mara yes I totally rock "done" always.....I guess Adele is a lot younger than me.....and TGW new series? On Netflix or TV?

QueenC I'm intrigued, what was down your trousers yesterday? a ferret? , spare shoe? Extra leg? Do elaborate.

Not so stuck in a rut as totally, mindnumbingly bored sick of winter clothes....I've done skinnies and boits/ooaques, skirt/dress and boots to DEATH and I'm desperate to get into my SS work uniform ankle grazers,pointy flats .....I guess I'll be sick to death of that too by September

So bored I can't even spell them.....

And my down coat......UGH

Latest TGW on TV Dry series before just released on Netflix

Think I'm up to date then.
Need to see if I've seen the latest HofC series on Netflix.
Heard that a picture of Kevin Spacey as Underwood replaced Obama's portrait at the Smithsonian for one day last week as a publicity stunt for the new season, Spacey was talking about it, quite cool. Imagine if we replaced the Queen with Helen Mirren

Never done one before so think this will be my first and last! The training is proving to be a challenge with a full time job and young DC. Am hoping for a huge sense of achievement if I can do it. If Eddie Izard can do 27 surely I can do 1!
Hush booklet arrived and some nice Spring/Summer stuff, although seems a bit premature when it's freezing outside!

ThanksMara and Shop realised I completely missed new season of TGW and only 2 days left to view episode 1 on More4. Phew, close!!!!!!

Love the colour of these Hush sandals

I saw those too vegas and loved the colour.

Feeling a bit low today, no particular reason. Ive put absolute 80s on full blast but can't decide whether Rick Astley is cheering me up or making me want to slash my wrists .

A delivery has slightly cheered me up though. Will link in a minute.

cardigan. It's been a while since I've bought a different coloured cardi and this is the perfect ice lavender/hyacinth shade. Gorgeous for spring.

Ipad is playing up but I also got the bell side shell top in navy.

Ooh, Feargal Sharkey now....
