Stokey · 14/05/2016 17:37

Sorry got off the tube not the rubber obvs so had to post an incomplete summary. Next time One, it would be nice to meet you.

So
Blingy looked fab in white top, loved her double cuff, one red, one brown and gorgeous vintage Paddington.
Linus also had a gorgeous red cuff, aforementioned stunning Chanel jacket matched only by a stunning Chanel bag, lovely to meet her and top work on flying in for the MU, true dedication.
Marsha looked lovely as always in cream top, great bargain Mih pale blue skinnies and gorgeous pale blue heels - were they the GRs?
Shop rocked her dramatic style with red & white striped tee, black jeans - can't believe I didn't check out her boots. I really like your hair a bit longer, I meant to say!
Dry looked cool in her cream lace top (and even cooler in the Chanel jacket, you need to get this!)
QueenC was also rocking the lace in a navy top with lacy sleeves, loved the silver shoes
Justa lovely to meet you. I loved the black disco, and a very pretty silk? patterened top.
Mara who did amazing organising looked fab in her a blue flowered loose vest, I loved the neckline.
Dream nice to meet you too, the black Me & Em dress really suits you
Kitty I loved chatting to you - my mind is a complete blank as to what you were wearing - a cream top and jeans? - but loved the leopardskin Gigis.
Blair was also in cream, not looking remotely jet-lagged, sorry we didn't get to chat much
Fedup looked cool in black and white, great new Kate Spade bag.
Amber looked fab as always in white shirt with blue & red neck scarf and amazing red block heel shoes, love them.
Lib we didn't get to chat much either but I love your leather skirt and shirt, high fives fellow skirt wearer.

Phew - it really was the MU to end all MUs, sorry for slightly vague descriptions, my brain was not on form today. Hope everyone enjoyed the rest of the day, look forward to hearing what went on in the basement Grin

Dreamqueen · 14/05/2016 17:48

JustA did I really say before alcohol ' you feel lovely'? Grin

maradesbois · 14/05/2016 20:56

Hello,

Am on the bus home, had a great mu. Can't believe we've been out since 12.30. A great day that I really needed. Mini roundup:

Lovely to meet justa and dream, former with the most beautiful glowing skin and fellow lover of good prints and latter with great eyebrows and fab all black outfit. Meant to say did I spy gold juste un clou bangle?

Shop looking gorgeous in skinnies and black blazer, love, love, love the longer hair. Perfect length for you.

Dry loved our dinner service chat too! This stuff matters even if we don't have the requisite 24 plates. Great outfit as already described on thread. Love the red bag.

maradesbois · 14/05/2016 21:07

Continuing,

Linus Chanel jacket and woc go without saying. Lovely swishy blow dry and glad I got a proper chat with you in second place, sorry for missing a proper goodbye.

Fedup and blair great stans, think the feet were recorded for posterity? Kudos to blair for making it after just landing.

QueenC gorgeous silver shoes glad we had a good catch up sitting opposite.

Marsha gorgeous as ever, sporting pale blue rossis with insouciance.

Amber loved your wavy hair and red heels, sorry we didn't get to chat more, next time.

Blingy looking gorgeous too, sporting her chloé Paddington and various casual bling including hermès watch iirc.

Kitty beautiful curls, thought your shoes were a bit beachy tho Grin

Stokey looked fresh and gorgeous, not hungover at all. Didn't see your feet, were you wearing cobalt stans? Am still tempted.

maradesbois · 14/05/2016 21:09

And last but by no means least the lovely Lib in her Autumn colours, leopard loafers and looked great in my funny coloured scarf.

maradesbois · 14/05/2016 21:11

Over use of gorgeous there but sums up my fellow Voguettes.

I had such a good time today and loved seeing you all - old friends and new.

Thanks to Dry Grin i did miss my train but dh agreed to pick me up from another station so no hanging around.

Obviously I need to do the obligatory roundup - hope I don't miss anyone!

Justa loved the bag and you having your colours done in the restaurant!

Amber fab shoes - meant to ask where they are from?
Blair great colour lipstick on you and how on earth do you look so fresh faced after a long haul flight?!

libertydoddle · 14/05/2016 22:58

OK

libertydoddle · 14/05/2016 23:01

Linus that should be "lust* not " list "!!!/

Dreamqueen · 15/05/2016 07:04

Morning All.
I'm so impressed with all the attention to detail in the previuos posts, sorry I can't do a post like them.my memories of the day are all jumbled together 9might have something to do with the amount of gin I drank.WineWineWine
It was overwhelming but in a good way. You all looked so beautiful & stylish. Had so many lovely chats.
I'm very happy to have woken up with a clear head Smile

KittyHello · 15/05/2016 07:36

Great round up, I'm drinking water like it's going out of fashion.
Loved bumping into Dry looking classy and chic in camel coat. Loved the red bag Queen in trademark navy top and silver shoes and Fedup looking good in white jeans and Stans in JCrew.
Was great to see Blair looking fresh faced and not a bit jet lagged.
Linus in double Chanel looking gorgeous. Wish I'd tried you jacket when offered but I was feeling a bit 'glowy' at the time. Needed the AC on, next time though?
Dream was lovely to meet you and your amazing eyebrows, they looked fab
Enjoyed stroking Justa's Gucci Disco. Loved how you were getting a colour diagnosis, could only happen at a MNV MU
Finally got to meet La Shop loved your hair
Amber loved the simplicity of the white shirt and scarf. Such a great look
Loved chatting to Stokey short but sweet
Marsha looking effortlessly cool in pale colours
Blingy who can make a lot of bling look classy and not over done. I believe there are not many people who could do that
Was lovely to chat to Lib* looking fab in leather. That whole outfit looked great on you.
Mara great Stella McCartney top and your scarf, such a perfect colour for you.

Was a great and busy MU but managed to speak to everyone I think. Thanks again Mara for organising. xx

VivaVegas · 15/05/2016 08:01

Sounds like you had a great day/evening! Hope there aren't too many 'Prosecco heads' this morning!

libertydoddle · 15/05/2016 08:22

And in my round up I forgot to say Bernice really missed you too. Hopefully see you over the summer Smile

I do have a sore head this morning. Have been off alcohol for the last month. Yesterday was a shock to the system! Back to sobriety today. DH has taken pity and is making breakfast.

QueenC · 15/05/2016 08:33

Morning, agree with everyone, it was a lovely day. I'm not going to do a round up as its all been said already except to say justa and dream it was great to meet you both.
My head is very sore, I blame amber with the aperol spritz'. My memory of the last aperol spritz and getting to Paddington is very hazy but it involved a veggie burger and scuffing my lovely shoes Sad. Fell asleep on the train but luckily didn't end up in Wales!!

I'm going to do my usual Sunday morning links and hopefully find something for everyone....
