On way out with DH. Doing the anti-feminist thing and wearing a real man-pleaser outfit - black lace up bodysuit, black coated skinnies, black suede D&G cage heels, rockstud bracelet and bag. Smoky eyes and nude lips.

shopafrolic · 12/03/2016 18:31

Oh shop so sorry to read about your DF, thinking of you all x

FedupNagging · 12/03/2016 18:45

Wow Amber, that's such a sexy look.

Fab shoes Lara

Dry can't open your link on my iPad so will look later.

We're off out to a fundraiser soon - all very casual so I'm wearing next flares with desert wedge boots, navy silk t shirt (French connection) and boden orange cropped cardi. Have big hair don't care and bright pink lips.

Dh and I will do our best to ensure the bar makes a profit Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 12/03/2016 19:13

We are in tonight - both spent a day doing DIY (him putting up a new curtain track and me painting a chest of drawers) so we're treating ourselves to a Japanese takeaway.

I tried the DVF again and this time I definitely adjusted it better, tighter - which made it sit a bit higher and feel more secure on the chest. It's a keeper!

Amber fab outfit, have fun!

Fedup you too, outfit sounds great.

Lara those shoes are so so nice, I've never seen them in black, love it.

Lib oh dear I bet the beautician loves to tell that story. My previous one who just left, waaaa always used to tell me about posh women who'd come in and scream and swear through the pain Grin

QueenC · 12/03/2016 19:39

Love to shop
Omg lara, seriously lush.
dry it might be a bit hot and uncomfortable in the heat? But nice dress.
In tonight nursing hangover still. Busy tomorrow morning so going to have a browse now...

QueenC · 12/03/2016 19:46

[Flowers] Shop

Fab shoes Lara. What are you planning on wearing them with?

Good news on the DvF Blair.

Did anyone see DMBL40 capsule wardrobe post she did for Hush? There were a couple of good tips.

Don't buy anything unless you can think of at least three occasions you'll wear it and don't buy anything unless it goes with at least three things in your wardrobe.

No fashion news from me as I'm deep in am dram world this weekend, darlings Grin.

Drinking wine on sofa waiting for the Trapped finale.

MarshaBrady · 12/03/2016 21:03

Good tips Stokey - stops the wardrobe creep, buying something and having to buy more

Lara wow. Incredible Chanel on the thread, beautiful

Shop hugs, hope all is ok x

Linus that would be really fabulous if came to the mu

Dry yes nice dress, but might feel uncomfy

KittyHello · 12/03/2016 21:12

Flowers for Shop and your dm sending lots of positive vibes for your df, wishing him a speedy recovery.

Thoroughly bored with winter wardrobe now, saw some spring like weather today whilst out and about with dc, felt great to be out and not be cold.

Bought this JCrew white shirt Saw it in store and instantly loved it, will wear with navy Boden bistro crop trousers. Quite like it in blue too but don't like the white buttons. these would complete the outfit but are sold out Sad

Topazandpearl · 12/03/2016 21:15

Best wishes shop Flowers

Enjoy nights out/in everyone.

shopafrolic · 12/03/2016 21:18

Thanks all. Home now. He is stable, need to keep him that way until they do the next CT scan on Monday to assess the bleed. I had to feed him with a spoon. Made me cry.
The sun will shine loads tomorrow. I'll be back on the ward. Need to see the sunshine so badly. I wore bright pink to hospital today. Need to get some colour in there.
And Lara thanks for sharing those beautiful shoes, I need to see lots of beautiful stuff please. Loads of lux while all the shit is happening.
Love you all and thanks as always for being fabulous MWAH

Longislandicetee · 12/03/2016 21:28

Bless you and the Shop family. Glad he's stable xxx

Larastheme · 12/03/2016 21:42

Oh shop, Flowers, your post made me cry, thinking of you and your family,

justasecond · 12/03/2016 21:45

Oh shop so sorry you are going through this Flowers and hugs, your poor df. Hope he will get better soon x

Karcheer · 12/03/2016 22:27

shop thinking of you and your family. I'm going through something similar with my mil, dh is in pieces. It's so horrible, thinking of you.

maradesbois · 12/03/2016 22:44

Oh Shop your poor df. Sending lots of love to you and your mum. Xx

I share the collective shoe love Lara, they are gorgeous.

Blair glad the dvf is a keeper.

Linus and Topaz hope you can make the mu. I should be ok for it.

Was at Liberty this afternoon. Had such an itch to buy something but was only really tempted by £££ bags so left empty handed and feeling very virtuous. Had a very civilised lunch in a cheese shop with dh and ds, nice relaxed day without any uni work and agree with you Kitty, felt like spring not far away.

Cranagh · 12/03/2016 23:30

Hi everyone.

Shop, so sorry about your DF.

QueenC, love the shoes and the colour.

Liberty, you made me laugh so much with the bush comment, and you know me well, I was, in fact, wearing skinny jeans and a Burberry bag that day. I used to dress up so much more for work but still a sahm so jeans are easy. Need to get back to work when DD2 starts school.

I'm a slap a bit of Immac on type! Not very hairy, the only bonus of being a pale Celt.

Lara, fab shoes!

Love the dress, Blair. I am under-endowed, ahem, but I still belt my DvF wrap dresses tight.

Gorgeous bag, Pony, I want one!
