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.

On way home from an early dinner. Crawling! 3 days of alcohol is taking its effect SmileSmile but have loved every minute of it.

libertydoddle · 15/05/2016 20:52

Man I have suffered today. Sore glands on both sides of neck. I used to be so much harder than this.

Trying to sort work outfit for tomorrow and see if I can avoid ironing...

QueenC · 15/05/2016 20:57

I'm dying. It's got worse as the day has gone on. Luckily dh finds it hilarious and is doing bedtimes so I don't have to.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2016 20:58

Mine got marginally better, and ended with actual exercise.

But no more drinking, no way... until next weekend.

MarshaBrady · 15/05/2016 20:59

Linus did you get home ok?

QueenC · 15/05/2016 20:59

Some great shopping yesterday. Love those Uniqlo dresses. Great TB jacket Blair.

I collected these today. Ordered them at a craft fair last month. Not sure how much I'll wear them but they appealed to my quirky side!!

Sunday night dilemma this shoe or or this one in black? The black is in my preferred heel height -85mm. The red I think is sexier and would jazz up a black dress for work or dinner but it is in my higher heel height, 100mm. I will still wear 100mm but I find them less practical. Eg I have sprinted for buses and trains in 85s as I find them comfy but not in 100s, so my 100s don't tend to come out of the wardrobe as much.

I am also thinking of getting them in the 65s which are practically flatsGrin so I would wear them casually with jeans if I was doing casual night out with girls or date with dh.

A lot of over thinking has gone into this!Blushwhat do you think?

LinusLovesBretons · 15/05/2016 21:16

Just got home! Night night...

KittyHello · 15/05/2016 21:45

I'm starting to perk up just as I'm about to go to bed, felt rough all day, it dawned on my that I think I consumed more liquid -booze- than food yesterday. Popped into M&S on the way back for a carb fest for the train home.

Linus glad you're home safely.

Blingy bugger they don't do the red in 85s. I'd say red as they look more special but it sounds like the heel height is posing a dilemma.

Mara thanks for the bag link, I saw something very similar in R&B almost my perfect bag but a tad too pale, I have seen another APC bag I like which I'm considering and will link if I buy it, thanks for putting me onto them.

Love the Equipment shirt Queen

Saw some great buys from you yesterday, hope they are keepers, I'm wearing the JCrew breton I bought, always a good sign.

KittyHello · 15/05/2016 21:46

Sorry for the many typos, I'm off to bed soon.

libertydoddle · 15/05/2016 21:50

Tricky blingy. They are fabulous in red and would really suit you but not much point if they are too high.

kitty I really liked that Breton.

QueenC · 15/05/2016 22:02

Love the red blingy but don't buy if you won't wear them
Night all.

AmberNectarine · 15/05/2016 22:20

That Equipment shirt is gorgeous - will keep an eye out for it in the sale! We'll overlook the fact I already have 4. I do like a shirt though.

I also love those boots!

Have just got into bed . IMO the best thing about a hangover is waking up the next day and just being so grateful not to feel like shit.

shopafrolic · 16/05/2016 09:33

42 inch ankles?! Marsha WTF! Grin

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 16/05/2016 09:34

10 large vac bags later and im half way through packing up my clothes! i knew ihad a lot, i knew i did but i didn't realise it was quite this many. i'm definitely on a spending ban from now on unless something's really special and i can't wait for it in caseit sells out or it's limited or something. I'm actually just a teeny bit embarrassed that i didn't know how much i've actually got, i have zero reason for ever declaring that i have nothing to wear!!

Hope all hangovers have abated now and everyone is feeling fresher

BerniceBobsHerHair · 16/05/2016 10:40

That Equipment shirt is lovely. So are those boots though much too high for me.

Blingy when you mentioned the 65 is that in red or black? I really like all of them, I think they look pretty special in black too. Agree with the others that the high reds might not be a good buy if you end up not wearing them much as they are too high.

I did admire that Asos dress on the restyle blog Stokey!

Amber were yours the TS heels with wraparound straps? They look nice.

Justa what was the consensus on your colours?

Lib I like those shoes!

It's nice to hear all the updates from the MU - sounds like it was the most well attended MU yet - I could only think of me, One and Viva who missed it. Apologies if I've forgotten anyone else. Hopefully we can make the next one.

Shop and Lib to answer your question, I will be around in the summer for a mini (or not so mini?) MU.

Dream I think I linked the Me and Em dress for you - glad you like it!! Think it would work well with converse.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/05/2016 12:09

Wow One, well done - didn't realise you were moving so soon. Exciting!

Blingy I agree with the others, red is very you but it comes down to comfort and the amount you'll wear them. Black ones are still super hot.

I am contemplating going on a spending ban to save up for a Burberry trench. Does anyone have any tips for getting the best price on one? Not sure about outlet quality, but I would be happy to buy one abroad or at an airport.

shopafrolic · 16/05/2016 12:10

Amazing Bernice PM me dates so we can work around you xxxx (you were so missed)
Blingy by the highest red shoes you can and make your DH's day Wink

AmberNectarine · 16/05/2016 12:41

Yes Bernice, the red Topshop ones. I am very fond of them already!

KittyHello · 16/05/2016 13:41

Wow One that's a lot of stuff, what will happen with your uni course? Will you be transferring?

I am feeling human today, phew, would love to meet Bernice One Viva and Lara* next time, a mighty MNV MU

VivaVegas · 16/05/2016 15:25

Would love to come next time, DHs weekend working can be a real pain at times!
Dream what's the sizing like on the stripy Uniqlo dress? I've never bought anything from there and don't have a store nearby. I'm normally a 10/12 in standard size shops for tops so am thinking a medium.
Bought some black culottes in Zara at lunch time, really nice with slots up the side but annoyingly I'm between sizes so have got both to take home and try, the M is very snug but the L seem huge and a bit baggy.

VivaVegas · 16/05/2016 15:29

culottes with slits not with slots!

Dreamqueen · 16/05/2016 15:41

Viva. I'm a 12. I bought medium.
