Come and chat about fashion, make up and anything glittery and frivolous. We'll take your bad hair day seriously and you never have to apologise for a new bag Grin

And if you happen to know where I can find comfortable but stylish trainers in kakhi or dark brown you are particularly welcome (Blatant abuse of thread setting up privileges) Wink

Someone buy this flamingo tee, it's so cute.

I'm really really struggling to stay awake hence browsing the web...

Hi all
sounds like you had a great time queenc and marsha and great shopping too queenc
glad the trainers worked out linus they are lovely.
Can't see your links either viva but sound lovely.
Hope you feel better soon Lib I second almonds as a snack also dates are great and full of energy. I also quite like the Naked cashew cookie which is just cashew nuts and dates with nothing else added. I am not sleeping well at all atm either. It started with changing our duvet and pillows and being too hot. I have since bought another thinner duvet and I still can't sleep. I am boiling all night I think it might be hormonal.
On the shopping front I have bought some topshop Dree crop kickflare jeans www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/moto-dree-crop-kick-flares-5143936?bi=0&ps=20&Ntt=dree I got the tall version so they are just on my ankle. Dh is baffled by them but I think they look good with mid heels and ankle strap shoes plus they are so comfortable. Will wear when its warmer.
Also got a cashmere jumper from uniqlo in cobalt blue www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/151953 am wearing it today as it is so freezing.
will catch up properly now.

AmberNectarine · 09/04/2016 20:25

I ordered those jeans but returned yesterday justa - I got the regular length and they just weren't right. Have a pair of MiH cropped flares anyway so I don't really need them in any event.

QueenC · 09/04/2016 20:35

Love the jumper and the jeans justa. I really wanted to get the gap cropped flares in the US as they had a denim shade that I hadn't seen hete in the uk but I wasn't perpared to pay full price ( they only had money off tops at the time I went shopping). But I'm going to get my flares shortened as I never wear them. Just can't decide on the exact length to go.

for lib

justasecond · 09/04/2016 20:40

Was it the length you didn't like Amber? I think maybe a longer crop looks better. Mine are about this length on me www.glamour.com/images/fashion/2015/04/january-jones-flares-jeans-w352.jpg That sounds like a good plan queenc

QueenC · 09/04/2016 20:42

for amber

QueenC · 09/04/2016 20:43

They're a lovely length justa

justasecond · 09/04/2016 20:46

I might even wear them to the MU queenc Wink

Drywhitethanks · 09/04/2016 22:55

Marsha welcome home too Smile

Drywhitethanks · 10/04/2016 10:30

justa I love that JJ look with the cropped jeans. Think I'll hold onto my old Gap straight cut jeans that I wear turned up an cropped in SS having seen that, it's a look ive been wearing for about 5yrs and thought they weren't looking tight enough on the ankle......seems I'll be on trend inadvertently this year Grin

QueenC · 10/04/2016 13:47

Where is everyone...?

Feeling pretty crap today. This virus has made me vomit, made me totally washed out and now seems to be turning into a cold. Great. So, I'm catching up with stuff on the high St....

for bernice

QueenC · 10/04/2016 13:49

If anyne wants an off the shoukder top this looks good.

QueenC · 10/04/2016 13:51

cotton top

BerniceBobsHerHair · 10/04/2016 13:55

Hello

Justa I am another fan of those jeans. I only like cropped jeans v slightly cropped - all the ones I have tried have revealed too much ankle for my taste!

That flamingo t is really nice QueenC.

I have a new pair of shoes - think they will be a bit of a marmite item - these. Wearing them today with a grey midi dress - and tights. Still cold here though sunny.

Blair congratulations for your one year anniversary. Which stans did you get? I seem to have missed them somehow.

Marsha welcome back. Also wondering where you went?

Vegas very impressed by your marathon plans - good luck!

Lib I like that shirt, tempted by it in blue.

Stokey Flowers - are DC back at school tomorrow? What happened with regards to the job you were going for?

Linus glad IM trainers are keepers!

Waves to everyone else.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 10/04/2016 13:56

Cross post with QueenC - sorry you are feeling under the weather.

QueenC · 10/04/2016 14:22

Can totally see you in those shoes bernice.

How lovely is this jacket

FedupNagging · 10/04/2016 17:08

I love, love that Jaeger jacket Queen . Sorry you're feeling so rough, feel better soon Flowers

Flowers and sanatogen for Lib and Vegas, sounds like both of you have a lot to contend with atm. I love walnuts and dates and liquorice as an alternative to a chocolate energy boost. I appreciate they're all full of sugar but a lettuce leaf just doesn't cut it!

Welcome back from your hols Marsha

Can't believe its a year already Blair, congratulations.

Oh and the zebra shirt someone linked earlier - Vegas?, I love that too.

We had a great time yesterday (thanks for the outfit love) but the restaurant wasn't great so we left before ordering and ended up in our MNV MU favourite and all was right with the worldGrin

MarshaBrady · 10/04/2016 17:25

Thanks everyone! Have had a nice weekend back in London, still feels like holidays.

Viva and Bernice we went to the Algarve. Spent many days on this beach and near the pool or at tennis.

It was a risk with the weather at this time of year, but we got lucky in the end.

MarshaBrady · 10/04/2016 17:37

QueenC great shopping in Vegas. Sounds brilliant. really like the flamingo t

Dry love the blazer, congrats

Linus so pleased you have the IM trainers too,

Lib sorry to hear work is stressful atm, must make NZ seem even more a draw

Blair well done for doing the week away for work, it is full on isn't it.

Viva I hope things calm down for you too, am very impressed with marathon training plus work

Fedup love that you ended up there.

Really like cropped skinnies for spring, might have to get some more

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 10/04/2016 17:55

Thanks all :) our anniversary is actually tomorrow, I can't believe it's been a year either!

Bernice I got these Stans, just tried them on with a few things including a dress and they're definitely keepers, I love them.

Gorgeous beach Marsha, welcome back, your holiday sounds fab!

I wish I could wear cropped trousers, and those billowy off the shoulder tops, but they don't suit me. Lots of lovely stuff on the high st at the moment though, I seem to want everything from Topshop and Asos. In terms of fashiony stuff, I'd like to get some ladylike shoes a la the Chanel slingbacks, and a pyjama style silk blouse.

FedupNagging · 10/04/2016 18:26

Oh that beach looks heavenly Marsha

Blair am pleased the stans are keepers - will you wear them on holiday?

I ordered navy and white stans the other day so hope I love them as much as Blair.

AmberNectarine · 10/04/2016 19:06

I tried these the other day Blair, gorgeous, but too ladylike for me!

AmberNectarine · 10/04/2016 19:11

Instead I bought these and this which I actually quite liked worn together. Now off to two rounds of killer body to facilitate this!!

QueenC · 10/04/2016 19:58

I like those stans. Talking of shoes has reminded me that I did a little middle of the night jet lagged purchase the other night! Will link when they arrive.

FedupNagging · 10/04/2016 20:02

How stunning is this dress? Sorry for copyright halfway down, the other option was a dm link!
