Evening!

DH is away skiing, so I'm taxi driver tonight why did I want gregarious children, don't know where they get it from, can't wait for DS to pass his test

QueenC you have bought your perfect shoe.....what did you do with the pink MD "pointy" ones? if you're a size 51/2 and want to sell them....

Liberty there have been many classic phrases on MNV and stroking your bush is definitely one that I'll remember Grin. It's ironic that I was terrified of, and willed myself out of, natural childbirth, but I'm quite happy to have a Brazilian. Hmm

I have my ticket for the MU.....got a bit over excited and am getting very early train so I can squeeze a bit of retail in before hand may find me asleep in a corner after a few proseccos. Linus are you over?

Where is everyone? I have a very large gin and very small tonic and was up for a chat!

Hope your little dd is better Amber

I'm off to do some fantasy shopping..........

FedupNagging · 11/03/2016 20:49

Oh, hello Dry waves; when ds passes his test, you'll have your very own taxi service, it's brilliant. Which reminds me, I need to book in ds2 for tomorrow evening!

FedupNagging · 11/03/2016 20:58

How gorgeous are these shoes?

D&G sandals - thought they looked daft until I saw them with the white dress

For the cruise dry? Grin

FedupNagging · 11/03/2016 21:11

Love the sleeves on this dress and how gorgeous is the pink?

DVF

Love this

How gorgeous are these rockstuds?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 11/03/2016 21:19

I'm here Fedup! Those Rossis are stunning, and even look comfy. The trousers... look comfy Grin

I'm sort of in for the MU, but it's the day after we get back from Asia so I'll need to see how I feel (and I'm not sure what time our flight lands, might be late in the evening). It sounds like it's going to be a biggie - and of course I would hate to miss meeting Dry again!

DVF dress arrived. I need to try it again, it wasn't instant love - possibly because I have the same issue as Stokey - boobs were very much on show. Not sure if a different bra would help as I'm not that big. But the colour is just right, and it's definitely the right size. Will do a proper try on in daylight tomorrow.

libertydoddle · 11/03/2016 21:32

The GR sandals are gorgeous fedup.

Good choice on the Oxfam dress Bernice. What shoes will you wear?

Beautiful shoes QueenC. I love LKB shoes.

Glad my bush comment caused such mirth. Blair I laughed when I read you had to stop at just bikini line. On one occasion I made a beautician stop after just doing one side of a bikini wax and refused to let her do the other side. She couldn't believe it!

libertydoddle · 11/03/2016 21:33

Meant to say I am in for MU too

FedupNagging · 11/03/2016 21:42

You're such a lightweight Lib Wink

Blair it may be a case of getting the right bra and/or a popper fitted just to keep it together.

I have managed to cut back on the lipbalm and only applied it twice so far today. Will get my next fix when I go to bed Grin

Drywhitethanks · 11/03/2016 23:26

Fedup those cruise trousers are bloody hideous, i wouldn't be seen dead in anything like that......

Grin...knew you were joking, but Ive always wanted to say something like that on a S and B thread Wink and throw a Biscuit

Haha good one Dry and Fedup

Am looking forward to the May mu!

QueenC · 12/03/2016 07:20

I was out. I have a sore head. A very sore head. And Dh has had to go to see FIL so I'm on my own with dc. Today could be hard!

AmberNectarine · 12/03/2016 08:11

My DVF wrap dress is actually a 10 to accommodate the boob issue Blair - I just cinch the waist in tightly.

DD is back on form thank goodness - she is such a sprightly little thing normally I was getting worried at her laying around all listless.

Drywhitethanks · 12/03/2016 08:25

Dropping off DS at school for exchange trip. My teenager friendly outfit is all black (skinnies etc) camel coat, Stans, bug plaid scarf, red lippy, sunnies ....was just going to wear gym kit but too vain Hmm

libertydoddle · 12/03/2016 10:26

Glad to hear DD is back on form amber.

Larastheme · 12/03/2016 12:55

Got these today after a long, long wait,

MNV Volume 68
justasecond · 12/03/2016 13:06

Swoon, I just spent a good minute drooling at those, they are seriously gorgeous.

AmberNectarine · 12/03/2016 14:12

They're lovely in the black lara I actually think the white ones are awful.

LinusLovesBretons · 12/03/2016 14:38

Those are stunning lara! Are they slingbacks?

Just got home from shopping with DM. Knackered! I didn't buy anything though as shopping with DM means the focus is completely on her. Hmm

dry your outfit sounds great. If it gives you confidence, why not dress up?

blair I have small boobs and I always make sure my wrap dress is very well cinched in at the waist. Mine is a New Julian II in a US 8.

I am going to do my best to come to the MU but have to look at flights first.

Longislandicetee · 12/03/2016 16:55

afternoon! it's been so long since I posted that I couldn't find the thread and when I do Lib is in some porn flick and dry is in The Graduate Shock

Topazandpearl · 12/03/2016 17:05

Gorgeous shoes lara.

Also like yours QueenC. In fact I considered ordering the navy, but decided the bow was not me. Before MNV, I wouldn't have realised that.

I am keeping the Whistles navy sweat (ootd with navy skinnies) and the daisy print tunic as I like both. However I am returning the navy drawstring bag as I didn't like it. The leather was too stiff; I had expected it to be soft and slouchy. It had 'fallen' into my basket on impulse anyway, so it is not like I need it-I'll hold fire for something else.

Would love to make the mu but need to check family commitments first.

shopafrolic · 12/03/2016 17:18

Evening all. I will be off thread for a while. My DF is seriously ill in hospital having fallen yesterday. Sending love to all. Think good thoughts for me.

FedupNagging · 12/03/2016 17:35

Oh Shop I'm so sorry to hear that. Flowers for you and your dm. Am sending masses of positive vibes your way. Xx
