So summer is around the corner probably and we're looking forward to crops, short sleeved tops and flipflops Grin

Come and tell us all about your summer purchases, high street or high end, we love it all.

QueenC · 15/05/2016 09:02

I havent finished but I need a lie down now!

shopafrolic · 15/05/2016 09:11

I have been charged for two cancelled Ubers when I was in Soho! WTF!
Morning all. :)

Stokey · 15/05/2016 09:16

A few sore heads this morning? I wish I'd been able to stay for longer, it looked great fun. Still I drew Germany in the Eurovision sweepstakes so won the wooden spoon, happy times.

I love that skirt QueenC, very me. Now I just need to find it with a high street price tag.

I was wearing my black Stans Mara as my new ones haven't arrived yet. Hopefully they'll come tomorrow.

My lipstick was Clinique Chubby stick Grandest Grape Justa, I think the colour would really suit you too

Got a children's party to go to this morning, yay the glamour. I think I may wear my new Cos top and white jeans with orange ghillies. But are white jeans bonkers for a 4 year old's party?

Good piece on The Guardian website with Sali Highes picking her best beauty buys for different age groups.

Drywhitethanks · 15/05/2016 09:21

That's bad Shop how can it happen?

In bed drinking tea.
May venture to the gym could be ugly .
Don't feel too bad tbh ....paracetamol at 2am Shock

Fedup I liked that bar at KC.

Is Blingy still going strong? Grin

Stokey · 15/05/2016 09:22

Also just saw your shoes Amber on this blog.

I like the Asos boho dress she's trying on, good for Bernice or me.

shopafrolic · 15/05/2016 09:36

I think it comes when you stroll through Soho yapping away with Mara drunkenly trying to see how much an Uber back to Hertfordshire would be instead of taking the train. I clearly hit book by mistake!
Still - even with the cancellation fee, the Uber was still cheaper back to my village from the station than a black cab would have been so it's not too bad.
I can't even begin to do a full review of you all - but it was such a fab MU. Thanks so much for arranging the venue Mara - next time we'll have to tell them we want the table for at least 6 hours Grin
So nice to meet new faces and so lovely to see everyone again - it had been an age since I'd seen you all. So raucous. I felt sorry for the two ladies at the next table Hmm

LinusLovesBretons · 15/05/2016 10:28

Morning!

Just had a lovely breakfast at Aubaine.

My head is ok but I stuck to my regimen of alternating one glass of booze with one of water and that definitely helped.

I did have to go to the loo a lot but it's worth it.

Ready for some more shopping once the shops open at 12.

Glorious day here so I'm going to walk to Knightsbridge.

FedupNagging · 15/05/2016 11:16

Amazingly I don't have a hangover but I do feel as if I need to spend the day lying on the sofa!

Great links Queen - look forward to the rest when you're more up to it Grin Love the stripe trousers and the GR pumps for Marsha are gorgeous.

These are my purchases from yesterday:
Banana Republic crops
BR blue/white strip t/s - can't find it online (thanks Queen for the discount code)
MD belt

Dream picked up some great dresses in Uniqlo which I completely missed in store so may have a look online later.

Mara I completely forgot to thank you for organising yesterday Blush

Yes I forgot my manners! Thank you Mara for doing the organising and making me feel so welcome.

maradesbois · 15/05/2016 13:29

Hello,

Oh no Shop re ubers, have a vague memory of the cancellations. I got the bus home, feet were very sore at the end, not used to walking in heels.

It was a fab mu, back to reality today doing my thesis proposal document.

Kitty this is the APC bag I was talking about. May be too pale for you but looks like the kind of leather that darkens as it ages, I love the size and shape but not sure about the hardware on front. Love the half moon bag too but not the current brown one, too dark.

Longislandicetee · 15/05/2016 16:18

Shop that uber story is sooo funny!Grin

As everyone has already said, it was a lovely MU! Even the pain I am in today is worth it. Everyone looked lovely. Things I was particularly inspired by but know wouldn't suit me at all were Linus' Chanel jacket (which Dry looked amazing in) and Marsha's shoes and jeans combo (oh to have those legs!).

I loved loved loved Ambers outfit, in that all the bits were something I would wear (white shirt, skinnies, neck tie and hot red strappy heels) but wouldn't think to put the combo together. Very lust worthy. Linus was dressed in same kind of thing but pulled it off in a different gorgeous way.

Had bag lust over Dry's long champ. It's a gorgeous gorgeous bag! Also had love for Linus' Chanel quilted bag and QueenC's MK version. Particularly impressed by QueenC's one.

Blairs TopShop lipstick just makes her lips look kissable. I had to step back so I didn't actually kiss her.Grin

And talking of lust. I arrived to be met by the glamazons that are Shop and Marsha. Shops outfit was so simple yet she looked H.O.T. As did Marsha, whom I sat next to and whose hair kept stroking. Before my first bottle glass of bubbles. Oh yes, I think i might have stroked Dry too. Mara had the good sense to sit far away as I lusted after her shiny hair.Grin

Loved the broderie anglaise tops that Dry and FedUp were wearing. I would love to be able to pull that off.

Everyone has mentioned Dream's eyebrows and justa's skin. Totally agree. Loved justa's top and disco too.

Love Stokey's sunnies, no way I would get them for myself! Same with Lib's skirt. I am too short for a long leather skirt!

By the time I finally talked to Kitty we were on the 3rd bottle of bubbles and I just remember her hair looking very curly.Blush

Some fantastic conversations ranging from the light hearted and funny to deep and personal. Thank you for such a great MU. It's been a hard few months and exactly what I needed.Flowers

Longislandicetee · 15/05/2016 16:20

Blinkin heck that was verbal diarrhoea!BlushGrin

AmberNectarine · 15/05/2016 16:59

Urgh. That is all.

Dreamqueen · 15/05/2016 17:21

My skirt that I bought yesterday is lovely on. It's full length on me though. Need to find a top to wear with it now.

This dress is too big, so I've ordered it (plus some more shopping) to collect from Westfield. This dress is perfect. I'm going to wear it tonight, if I can get rid of my still slightly fuzzy head. Wine

shopafrolic · 15/05/2016 17:24

I did the water thing too Linus so not in too bad a way. Have spent the afternoon in the garden. New roses and lavender to plant - aiming for English country garden......
Justa kudos to you for letting us 'do your colours' - we must have seemed like a bunch of drunk nutters. Grin
Blingy still laughing about burying your head in my chest!

LinusLovesBretons · 15/05/2016 17:25

At the airport waiting for my flight with a pair of bubbles.

Did loads of shops today but only bought things for the DC, stuff at Boots and some tea.

Oh and some Havs as my blasted IM trainers were rubbing my heels after a while and hobbling in Harrods, Harvey Nicks and Liberty is not a good look.

Had such a great time but I will be happy to be home with my family.

My MU roundup will come, promise!

LinusLovesBretons · 15/05/2016 17:26

Glass of bubbles! Not pair!

LinusLovesBretons · 15/05/2016 17:28

Btw, this was my lunch today. Yum!

shopafrolic · 15/05/2016 17:33

That looks delicious Linus - so glad you made the trip again. I really enjoyed your company. Smile

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 15/05/2016 17:41

I'm feeling a little delicate today too... think it's just tiredness, I crashed out at 10pm and woke up at 5.30 and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and started unpacking and putting washing on. But I'm so glad I made the effort yesterday, it was well worth it to see everyone! Thanks for the lipstick comments, especially Blingy Grin I've realised I look so much better with bright lips.

It really was so great to see everyone yesterday, I'm just gutted there were a few people I didn't really get to speak to. But it was fab having so many there!

I had a totally fantastic time on holiday and managed to make a few purchases. A beautiful red and gold cheongsam which I will take possession of next week, and a Uniqlo dress twice, in cream ponte and striped seersucker (QueenC bought the same one yesterday in ? dark green!). And yesterday bought this Ted Baker jacket.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2016 17:54
