MN Vogue Vol. 69

[libertydoddle]

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

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)

Continuing from [[http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/2570047-MNV-Volume-68 here]]

They are so you shop!

Wearing my Fling jeans again with another one of my Bretons.

I love them so much I have ordered a corduroy pair on The Outnet. I suspect they will be too hot to wear now but they'll keep until next Autumn.

Hi all :)

It's not just you One, I feel like I'm constantly AWOL atm, work is just manic! Am in the office now, but I'm the only one so I can justify an MN break

Bernice we fly next Thursday evening! I've got the day off for manicure and packing - I'm like you, I hate taking too much stuff, so I've had a list ready for weeks and bought things to fill the gaps of what I thought I'd need.

Fab shoes shop, hope you feel better soon.

Dream that is rubbish, hope it gets warmer there!

Dry and Linus my MIL does confit duck with bean cassoulet, where can you buy confit duck in the uk? I haven't seen it but maybe I just haven't looked in the right aisles in Waitrose

Mara shame about the bags but you need to be able to use them! They were both gorgeous though.

I have no buys to report, though I did go and try on my potential birthday present at the weekend (a watch). I'm really craving a shopping trip!

Doc called this afternoon and confirmed it is definitely a Strep A infection so will be on the antibiotics for a while longer.

Devastated about Prince. Just devastated. I remember stitching strings of pearls to my denim jacket and trying to copy the Sign of the Times logo in marker pen. Just a genius. We've lost too many this year. :(

Oh no Prince is dead! I loved his music he really was one of a kind.

Oh no!

I have such good memories of what I felt like when listening to his music. Going out with friends, dressing up, feel brilliant. So sad

Me too Marsha I can picture snapshots of my life, getting ready for nights out with friends, customising clothes, talking about boys with his soundtrack in the background, watching him on screen, his facial expressions, his guitar playing, the raw sexual nature of him. So so so so gutted.

Gutted here too, weirdly the guy was hugely charismatic, his music was huge for me. Feeling sad.

Wore my nude R and B Quilty ballet flats today, felt like a duck, more used to pointy shoes now.

I remember dancing to Cream in my DF's study (obviously when my parents weren't home) as he had one of the first CD players in our town and the sound was amazing.

That orgasmic scream in the intro!!

And Purple Rain was a favourite slow dance, nice and long so you could stay glued to your dancing partner for a long time.

Little Red Corvette was good too

I loved Cream, my favourite. Still takes me back when I hear it on the radio,.

Raspberry Beret, Cream and Alphabet Street for me. "Cat. We need you to rap"

Oh Raspberry Beret! "And when it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more"

I can't believe it what a huge loss.

gutted about Prince. Really am. such a sad loss tot he music world, such a hugely talented man and im sure he had so much more to offer. Find it very disrespectful that people are speculating about whether he had certain illnesses or not. It shouldn't matter whether he did or didn't. Let him rest in peace fgs

When doves cry for me. What an incredible legacy he leaves behind.

Quick question shop if you are there. Which Phillips Lumea model did you get? dsil is very interested in getting one for her and dneices. thanks x

this one Justa

justa I was in Cos briefly today and they had a really nice long lightweight camel coat. Immediately thought of you.

That sounds nice Lib I was just thinking today how I was bored of my light coats. Will check it out!
Thanks shop I thought that might be the one

Forgot to say I got these at the weekend. Not usually a fan of converse but like the minimalism of these
converse leather

I just ordered this

what about these trousers linus

Did you find any trainers Lib? I saw these in store and thought they looked like the Russell and Bromley slip ons

Cool T shop.

justa I bought some beige Superga in TKMaxx. I tried those MD ones on but they felt a bit strange across the top of my foot. I also noticed that all the staff were wearing the navy version and all the shoes were very creased across the top so that put me off. I was disappointed as they do look lovely.

*Justa8 I've got those converse, had had them for a few years & they are super comfy. I wear them a lot with dresses in the better weather especially if I'm doing a fair bit of walking. They are also my tralling shoe of choice because I find them very versatile.
