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.

I'm in for May 14th QueenC. Not keen on backless loafers but could be tempted by an off the shoulder top.

justa grey mini Marcie for me too.

Thanks for setting up new thread Dry, and hilarious cruise ship fashion. I do find the way the passengers swarm around in packs at ports rather unappealingly.

I tried on an off the shoulder top last summer and found it very flattering. I do struggle to find supportive enough strapless bras though to wear under. Cold shoulder also very flattering.

I'm still after a dress for March wedding. Have you found anything Dry?

If anyone sees anything while browsing, let me know. Has to be High St prices and accommodate curvy body and skinny shoulders.

Oh and 14 May looking good so far QueenC

love thos picks for me queenC again i've been absent as my left hand went int spasm the other day and i'm struggling to type. ive barely been out of pjs tbh as getting dressed is a real pain with only one working properly hand! the only time ive been out in the last five days was to go to the doctors for treatment so now i'm dosed up on muscle relaxants, hopefully it'll ease off soon

Morning! So a spendy start to the day for me. I finally got the the Givenchy Antigona. It's been on my lust list for a year.

I spent yesterday with a raging hangover after going on an 8 hour bender the night before including clubbing. I only went out for a cheeky post work drink!!!!

Tonight dh and I are going out for dinner. Not sure where as it's a surprise. Think I might wear new dress and shoes plus full on bling. Excited!

Thanks Dry marking place for later.

I love that bag blingy. If you ever have a handbag clear outmof that remember me

Big dd and I have got horrendous colds which are gradually getting worse throughout that day. So lots of ipad time for us.

dry I found this top for you.

Well, as usual, when you have some cash to splash, you don't find anything to splash it on.

I finally tried on some black IM Dicker boots and they were ok but not for me. The heel being in a different colour will always bother me.

I also tried on a Brunello Cucinelli dress but it was the wrong size and the style wasn't really suited to my shape either.

Same thing with a heavily discounted Saint-Laurent dress which made me look pregnant.

I tried on a gorgeous Chanel jacket but don't have that kind of cash to splash yet

As I expected there were no Constance bags in store but I put my name down in case they get one so they can call me. Not holding my breath though.

lara I saw your Chloé cardicoat and picked it up and it was sooo heavy. Lovely though.

Bought some Ladurée macarons, Aesop handcream and a Lush bathbomb for the DC so I didn't leave completely emptyhanded.

Oh and I had a lovely solo lunch with a glass of bubbles. Eating in peace and quiet a meal I haven't cooked myself is a true luxury nowadays.

Will try and catch up later!

Does anyone have envy experience of BrandAlley? Discounted Guccis.. Are they genuine, what's service like?

dry I agree re disco logo.. Because its embossed in the leather and not hardware I am fine with it.. When I went for my Saint Laurent clutch I got the ligne Y one and not the one with the full YSL logo.. Too much.

QueenC ...backless loafers are ok, but just ok.
Off the shoulder tops.....I like a cheeky bit of shoulder on show , prefer a real slash neck that "accidentally" slides off. Think collar bone is a very nice feature to show. Saw a SA in Whistles with a lovely navy/cream sweater on with shoulders cut out, looked fab.
Dream by the sounds of your OOTD your game is already up
Ootd is jimmies, navy and white striped l/s top red JV slippers.....I'm staying indoors and plan to open some prosecco with DH soon

Me and Em layering shirt has arrived. I know it's pricey but I love it and will get loads of wear out of it. I can't believe the design hasn't been copied cheaper because it's genius, fits beautifully under even the finest, most fitted merino fine knit.

How annoying Linus - still lovely to be out browsing.
Count me in for the 14th May Queen
Met friends for lunch at a local cosy gastro pub. Wore black merino polo neck, black R&B skinnies, Pistols and my coatigan from Anna that I got with Sleep. Then home for a board games marathon by the fire. 3 degrees here today. Brrrrr.

Hi all, thank you dry for setting up new thread.

QueenC I'm up for the meet up on 14th May!

Re. off shoulder top, I don't think I'd ever buy but I love this

Otherwise a more practical choice would be this but I hate wearing strapless bras to accommodate!

OOTD Saint James Breton under Uniqlo IDLF cashmere hoodie, R13 jeans and silver trainers. (boring)

Safety lovely top, beautiful colour....but those dangly bits would drive me nuts, imagine unloading the dishwasher in that

Snort Dry.

Happy Valentine's day everyone! Mine got off to a flying start when I realised dh already had the present I gave him.

Waves to Lib - hope you're having a fab time.

Gorgeous bag Blingy - love a grey bag.

I really loved my backless loafers (pink & turquoise) years ago so if I found the right pair, I may be persuaded to wear them again.

You all may laugh a Dry's fanny pack and zipped trousers but our holiday is now booked and it looks like I'll be needing both sob. I will be needing lots of help styling this holiday. This outfit teamed with
this hat is what dm thinks I should be wearing.

I'd quite like to rock this look although chances are slim

Meant to say to Dry let me know how your Me&em layering shirt wears - it would be perfect for me if it was sleeveless.

Also, I can make the 14th May at the moment.

Since I'm out of action (hurt arm & shoulder and should be resting it), thought I'd do some Sunday am links:

Morning, thanks for new thread Dry.

Work dress for Blingy - love both the navy and red

Love this ring and its gorgeous in amethyst too

Definitey need a tan belt

Hello, thank you for the new thread :)
I loved the two yellow dresses.

We went out for dinner last night which was lovely. I wore my red strapless midi dress from Gucci, my ivory blazer from Stella McCartney, little gold strappy heels from jimmy choo and used the little black bag from inside my celine tie bag as a clutch as I couldn't get to any of my clutches, as there is too much rubbish piled up in the room where I keep them due to the builders!
Went bare legged!

Also I got this

Love the camo look Fedup (and your DH's interpretation). Where are you off to?

That ring is fab, in another life!

Great bracelet Karcheer, your outfit sounded perfect - if a bit chilly!

I'm still fighting off stinking cold so we didn't leave the house yesterday, and today have just been hanging with the dc in the park. But I have a Valentines dinner in credit for when I can taste. And Dh got me a watch which is rather quirky and I love.

Hope everyone is having lurverly days.

Lovely v day gifts Stokey and Karcheer

For Amber love it

Love that Marsha the shape is perfect, shame about the colour and price, if anyone sees similar in a winter colour do shout!
