Sorry lib I ummed and aahed about posting as I didn't want to make you go over your 10 items!

I'm sore. Circuits will be interesting Grin.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 07/03/2016 07:42

brrrr, it's cold this morning. Hopefully my outfit of thermals plus more thermals will keep me warm. There are normal clothes as well so I'm not going out in thermals! NO one needs to see that Grin

libertydoddle · 07/03/2016 08:34

Grin at one!!

I definitely won't keep it all QueenC. Good luck with circuits.

AmberNectarine · 07/03/2016 08:49

Cracking out the killer body DVD myself this morning QueenC - good luck with circuits!

QueenC · 07/03/2016 10:27

That was hard! Just waiting for the bath to run to ease those poor muscles!! Then meeting friends for lunch.

QueenC · 07/03/2016 10:33

Just come across this website on myfashionable40s. Some nice cheap and cheerful bits.

shopafrolic · 07/03/2016 16:09

Flowers to whoever recommended the bagainous Uniqlo black trousers. I wasn't sure about them at first but tried them again today with Stans and a grey tee and they're great. Weird to have the elastic waist though. Am hoping they stay in shape?
The Whistles ones were a little too snug in the 12 and I didn't love them enough to size up when the Uniqlo ones cost so much less.

libertydoddle · 07/03/2016 18:05

justa recommended them shop. I ordered the navy ones with my huge uniqlo order yesterday Blush.

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:22

So beautiful

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:25

socks are big ATM, just wear them with any style of footwear,

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:30

the look on the driver's face Grin

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:38

love the whole look,the coat reminds me of a wallpaper I once used, very tame look for PFW, but it makes her more unique amongst all the craziness going around

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:43

I love this dior jacket,

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 19:58

I know its ADR but come on!

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 20:07

hello?
its me
im in California dreaming of how we used to be

when we were younger and free Sad

Where is everyone? What happened to MNV? We used to be so chatty, #bring the old MNV back!

shopafrolic · 07/03/2016 20:25

Vibe's changed hasn't it Lara? On my part it's because I'm poorly. Normal service will resume shortly.

Did anyone see VW rescue that poor exposed model on the catwalk? PR stunt or real?

shopafrolic · 07/03/2016 20:29

my current favourite website filling my Instagram feed with inspiration everyday.

FedupNagging · 07/03/2016 20:30

Hi Lara I'm here! Although not for long - am binge watching HOC s4. MNV has been quiet of late - we're all either ill or busy or not purchasing!

Gorgeous shoes hideous styling and loved the lace dress Arizona Muse is wearing.

Lib I can definitely see you in that khaki dress and yes I have a few pairs of I&C skinnies, a cardigan and a tunic dress/top long since ebayed.

Hope you had a good lunch today Queen what did you wear?

Ootd was all high street and several years old (worked today so dug out some old workwear): Laura Ashley purple cord knee length skirt, black Next round neck jumper with lace faux collar, giant paisley pink and purple scarf (new) and otk boots.

AmberNectarine · 07/03/2016 20:47

Well I'm working (deep joy).

Have ordered a couple of bits - will link if they are any good! Also ordered some Retin A cream and made an apt for more Botox.

libertydoddle · 07/03/2016 20:51

Lara my excuse is a month long holiday, followed by jet lag, followed now by a busy period of catching up with work...I am missing the usual MNV chat too Sad. Report writing here while listening to a radio 4 programme about local government rock and roll it's hard not to go virtual shopping.

That Dsquared coat is insane!!!

Larastheme · 07/03/2016 20:52

shop great website, some lovely pics and some really scary ones! I'm all for originality but the old lady is just a bit scary too much

fedup ooh! How I want to see HOC4 ! Wonder what will Claire do? The lady made my head spin in season 3 ,is she trying to trying to give frank a taste of his own medicine? Or is it just pure selfishness? Ambitious?

amber, you can't possibly need more Botox! Shock, you have no wrinkles or anything!

have not shopped for anything yet, I got my chloe trackies and I love them, but I'm getting them in smaller size ,they are really oversized,so have sent them back on Friday and still waiting for the smaller size to arrive,

KittyHello · 07/03/2016 20:55

Lara Grin I've been absent too, did a long post on Saturday night then I went and lost the bugger and have sulked for two days Angry

Shop I didn't recommend the Uniqlo trousers but I have them in charcoal and they are great, love the elasticated waist band

M&S cropped trousers went back, they were awful so stuck to my tried and tested Boden Bistro crop, somethings never change...... Am toying with a JCrew shirt, will link if/when I buy it. I don't know what size to buy and no free returns hence my hesitation. I emailed them about how much it would cost to return to USA and they reckon a fiver, is that right? Does anyone know? Lurkers please delurk if you know

QueenC · 07/03/2016 21:02

I'm here but Monday evenings I basically become a taxi service for dc activities. Finally back from the last pick up and in my pjs. Bliss.
fedup I wore a navy blouse and Cardi of course Grin. As it felt vaguely springlike I got my chinese blue cardi out of the cupboard. It was lovely wearing it again after it's been away for the winter.
lara love that picture of the cab drivers face!

I'm getting really annoyed by the cold weather now. I don't expect it too hot but just not needing scarves and gloves would be good. Apparently we are due snow at Easter Shock

Karcheer · 07/03/2016 21:04

I need some more Botox it's over a year since I had my last lot! I'm not doing it till the house is straighter straight. I'll also eat better and exercise.
