I was just wishing I had a heated steering wheel in my car yesterday - Dh's car has heated seats which are lush.

Brilliant question Bernice which I will now attempt to answer:
Blingy - raindance ring & RM dresses
Mara- Birkin and fab hair
One - dm's & quirky t shirts
Amber - Rotweiler clutch & bright lips
Marsha - Rossi's and pastels
Lib - autumn colours & leather skirt
Queen - navy spots
*SoYo8 - muuba jackets
Karcheer - yoga pants
Sleep - rock chic
Bernice - hippy style dresses
Dry - ankle skimmers and heels (not together!)
Shop - leather skinnies and heels
Topaz - Me & Em dresses

Thats it for the moment!

I am so pleased to be home, so pleased!

Jetlagged, it's very late in HK. But a nice feeling to be back and dazey.

Love all these style posts, great question, will get home and catch up and do mine.

I thought of some more whilst buying wine doing a food shop:

Blair - pencil skirts and fitted dresses
Lara - Chanel boy bag
Linus - Dresses & opaques
Stokey - cosy chunky jumpers

Am way too invested in this question Grin

Sorry you're feeling so poorly Shop - a good excuse to do nothing if you can. I'm still not feeling great so contemplating a return trip to the GP. Have cancelled going out for the second weekend in a row Sad

Meant to add 'welcome home' Marsha

In the bath sipping champagne before getting ready for dinner with DH

Karcheer · 05/03/2016 16:58

Sounds lovely amber, enjoy!

Topazandpearl · 05/03/2016 17:25

Hope you feel better soon Shop and Fedup.
Welcome home Marsha.
Enjoy your evening Amber.

Have ordered this Whistles sweatshirt.

Topazandpearl · 05/03/2016 17:28

Also this top

Topazandpearl · 05/03/2016 17:36

And this bag.
I'm hopeful for the sweatshirt, less sure about the top and the bag, but I feel that I need a bit of an update!

this dress which may do for work dressed down and I'm wearing tonight with opaques and my really high suede black shoe boots, Gucci Disco and camel coat. Sick of wearing jeans to go out, this is me and I feel great.

Get well soon shop and fedup.

Welcome home Marsha. Get plenty of sleep tonight.

I love that sweater topaz and the bag. Top could be lovely but definitely one to try on. I must have a look at Whistles while the code is valid.

Evening ladies ... some help required please! For the last four days I hve been gazing at and playing with two Mini Marcies in grey and nut and cannot choose between them. My procrastination comes down to both being beautiful, the grey being perhaps a bit more on-trend now, maybe the nut looks a bit fuddy-duddy - I really don't know. Either way, it's a bit of an investment and I'm hoping it will be a long time before it looks 'last year' .... so which colour do you ladies think will have the best lifespan? Need to make a decision and return the one I decide not to keep.

Opinions very much appreciated! Thanks!

libertydoddle · 05/03/2016 20:15

Nice decision to be grappling with Pony. Personally I would go for the Nut but I wear a lot of colours that it would work with. What colour shoes, coats etc do you usually wear? I think the grey looks like a summer bag and would work best with paler colours. The nut colour would work all year around IMO.

Ponymagic · 05/03/2016 20:25

Thanks Liberty! Yes, it's a great dilemma to have! Coats are navy, black and a dark green (don't wear that too often) ... oh and a red summer jacket. Shoes - tan ankle boots, dark grey ankle boots, black boots. Spring/summer - need to replace so colour can be anything. The nut is beautiful - they both are - maybe more wearable as you say. Only thing is, because it's so teeny, I also plan to buy another, roomier bag so grey could come in there (this will be cheaper though!).

libertydoddle · 05/03/2016 20:59

I think I would still say nut Pony. I had a quick browse on Pin and a lot of the pictures show the grey with predominately grey or white outfits - very summery look. Have you tried the bags on with different coats etc? An expensive bag really needs to work with as much of your current wardrobe as possible otherwise you just won't get the use out of it.

Ponymagic · 05/03/2016 21:08

Oh that's good advise about trying with coats Liberty, thank you. Haven't done that but will do so tomorrow. I think the nut would be my instinctive choice ame tbh would probably go with more in my wardrobe.

Topazandpearl · 05/03/2016 21:09

I love both Pony but agree with Liberty that the nut is a more all year colour. However if the grey makes your heart skip, it is the one to go for.

QueenC · 05/03/2016 21:46

topaz I love that sweatshirt and was v v tempted when the code came out but decided that I couldn't justify it after buying the flamingo one. I hope it's as lovely irl.

pony for me it would be thevgrey but that because for me grey bags go with everything.

Karcheer · 05/03/2016 22:33

Has anyone been to the chiltern firehouse? If so, any tips on what to wear?

Drywhitethanks · 05/03/2016 23:44
