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 have never had and never will have a Brazilian!!! Am wincing and clenching thighs together at the thought... resists the urge to stroke my bush lovingly and tell it not to worry, it's safe

So what are we all wearing today?? I am wearing black brogues, black opaques, black Boden flared skirt, dark brown Uniqlo fine knit merino sweater, leopard print scarf with orange trim, kingfisher blue Hobbs coat.

Oh QueenC what did you buy??

That's all wrong lib because now I have an image of you stroking your bush !!

these. It was fashion fate as I'd been stalking for a while and yesterday they were there in my size (well, what I think is my size-never tried lkb shoes). I don't need pink shoes but they're just soooo pretty. They'll have to be perfect for that price though.

Ooh QueenC they're gorgeous and very you.

My last post should have said 4-weekly. I never had 4 Brazilians a week

Perfect shoes for you QueenC - bargain too

Only 15 degrees at the moment but hoping for 20s in Tenerife.

those are lovely queenc beautiful colour. Hope you feel better soon.
Love that print on the scarf and bag shop I love a dark floral
Your ootd sounds lovely Lib and glad the uniqlo bargain trousers are working out .Haven't worn mine yet waiting for it to get warmer so I can wear them with brogues and loafers. Too cold to go sockless.
I bought a silk epil epilator last year, best money I ever spent. I haven't had a problem with ingrown hairs and the hair on my legs is v sparse now. Too much of a wuss to try it anywhere else though! Being asian I think I got lucky with my dad's non hairy genes as dm and dsis are much hairier as are most of the women in my family.
Having a day at home today and a clearout of the dc's clothes they have all grown esp dd2 who is now taller than dd1!

Shop I like all the McQ stuff, the clutch looks really good, can see you with it.

Lib enjoyed your uniqlo round up. I think the trousers are going to be the MNV trousers this season as I am thinking of ordering a pair. Selling out fast in the black.

Love the shoes QC beautiful colour. Did you ever break the M Dutti ones in?

Blair I missed the dress action. I would imagine the wrap shape would suit you. I like one you chose. Initially my fave was definitely the palm leaves / navy one. Your holiday sounds great, no wonder you are excited.

Karcheer how annoying. Hope you can go back.

One Shop and Linus hope you all feel better soon.

I never updated about my dress for the wedding bet you were all on tenterhooks but I have decided to go with the Oxfam one. The Me and Em dresses were lovely and great quality for the price, but too short for me. I think I will get the top version at some point. Love the jumpsuit too.

I am boringly dressed in green flannel shirt, navy skinnies, suede ankle boots and burgundy blazer. Very much my usual outfit and comfort zone yawn

lib your bush remark was sooo funny but it also reminded me to book a brazilian appointment for myself as some deforestation is required.

I am not a big fan of epilators as they hurt but that's not half as bad as the noise they make. The noise just makes it worse.

shop those McQ items are so you, especially the clutch.

queenc love the colour of those shoes. I hope they are perfect for you.

My OOTD is too boring to even mention on here. I just hope that the arrival of spring will mean I get my fashion mojo back.

I am still not 100% better either so that doesn't help either.

I NEED VITAMIN D PEOPLE! So give me more than 10 minutes of sunshine per day, dammit!

I am craving Spring now. So bored of my clothes, getting lazy with make up and hair. Need a kick up the fashion backside.

Hope the shoes fit after all this love. Speedy delivery-theyre due this afternoon.
bernice lovely colour ox fam dress. What will you wear with it? Ive been wearing the MD shoes round the house trying to wear them in and they finally feel that they're softening up but I can't help but think that they're too pointy for me. I may sell them.

Spring was short lived here. Looks grey outside now. Ootd whistles flamingo sweat and skinnies. topaz what's the navy whistles sweat like?

I love them. They are keepers. Ive already decided it had better be dry in May as I want to wear them to the meet up!

Hello,

lib

linus could never do an epilator either, seems like a torture instrument.

lara does the laser treatment hurt?

Am nursing a sore head today, had port last night so blame that. Out again tonight (doing an Amber ) straight from school, ootd is Marni dot print dress with black stans and hermès leather wrap bracelet. Is so nice to see blue sky and sunshine albeit through the library window.

Bernice I really liked the oxfam dress, very you.

QueenC I still remember Shop's comment at the mu last summer 'you call that a pointy toe'!! I love those shoes for you, think hard before selling.

Mara I've got a gob on me haven't I?!
I love those shoes QueenC shame they're not kind to your feet.

Perfect dress for you Bernice. I'm waiting for a smaller size in the Me + EM as the one I tried was very big round the shoulders.

Outfit sounds great Mara, and the 1990 Dom, what a treat.

How annoying about the Chiltern Firehouse Karcheer. I've never been but I love the chef, Pablo Nunes. Dh & I went to his new place in Spitalfields a couple of weeks ago, Yummy.

I have considered laser for bikini line, but worried about pain & price. I wax but interested in other solutions. The annoying thing abut waxing is that in between phase when you're waiting for growth.

Great shoes QueenC and good to hear you're getting good wear from the Whistles sweat.

It did feel very springlike today,we went to a reservoir and it was great for the kids to be able to play outside.

Your dds sound like mine Justa, they have the same size feet despite a 2.5yr age gap. I'm just waiting for dd2 to takeover dd1!

Shop, we wouldn't have you any other way!

Glad they are keepers QueenC. Is there a date for May mu?

Actually am only pretending to be doing an amber with my 2 consecutive nights out, don't think I can take the pace, cup of may help

Bit the bullet and ordered this etre cecile tee, I really wanted the sweatshirt but dithered too long and it is sold out everywhere in my size.

Bernice I reckon you'll look stunning in that Oxfam dress. Great colour for you. :)

Meet up is 14 May. dry and I are definitely confirmed as we've booked our trains.

14th May is MU I think Mara

Cross post QUeenC I'll be there too

have been awake since 6am yesterday thanks to little DD having a tummy bug. She seems to be on the mend now so there is hopefully light at the end of the tunnel. Have ordered a load of random shit in a sleep deprived attempt to cheer myself up!

I might be out tomorrow night, assuming I can keep my eyes open, but for tonight I have a date with the sofa and a glass of fizz.

I'll be at the MU too.

at your earlier comment Lib

I've been waxing sine my early 20's so consequently have virtually no regrowth legs, underarms and bikini. My beautician rarely charges me fp (if she charges at all)

Love the EC T Shop and the clutch too.

Karcheer how annoying, hope you get back there soon. I'd be furious too

Mara sounds like you had a lovely evening last night - at the champers. Enjoy tonight.

Love the pink LKB's Queen - hope they're keepers.

Ootd is I&C navy skinnies, BR cream silk shirt and silver grey cross back jumper. Wasn't so keen on my Aldo heeled black boots though, the pettys would have been better.

Am coming to the MU too.
