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.

Oh ffs, I've just lost a really long and probably boring post

Edited version:
One how exciting; I've sent you a pm
Blingy love, love, love the red shoes but black (still gorgeous) more practical

Loved the Asos dress too

Flamingo shirt - really lovely

There is a large round mark on the Massimo Dutti belt I bought on Sat - where the security tag was - am about to phone their cs in the hope they'll send another.

Smaller boden trousers are a good fit but no belt loops - can't decide whether to keep or not

Afternoon,

One those vacuum bags are great aren't they? Am going to store my winter jumpers in one once I get round to handwashing everything. Good moth protection!

Blingy my heart says the red ones but not sure you'd use for work? 8.5 cm is the perfect heel height imho though so guess am on fence and no help for the decision making.

Have achieved loads today, was worried last week that I was becoming lazy and possibly deficient in something that was making me lethargic but back on form, have even fitted in a quick shop in between appointments. Bought the cobalt pony hair stans plus the following from Marant:

peasant shirt. This is quite billowy but more fitted at bottom so designed to be tucked in.

denim dress. I love the fit around shoulders and the frayed neckline. Will wear this loads.

Going past Zara on the bus I spotted lots of blue and white stuff in window that looked good plus still thinking about APC bags and summer shoes. Have the being excessive feeling, albeit softened by great Marant discount, need to calm myself down and rein it in Blush Smile

QueenC · 16/05/2016 17:38

I still feel shite! Cant wait for my bed later.....

shop/bernice I'd be up for a mu over the summer if you're meeting anywhere although my eldest dc might be a bit bored I guess as I think you all have little ones.

MarshaBrady · 16/05/2016 19:24

Blingy in the words of TDWP, they are completely different, and you should get both.

Mara so jealous you made it to Marant! Cold sweats at nothing left. Love both

Shop I laughed out loud at your post at work and couldn't reply. 42 inch legs! Grin

FedupNagging · 16/05/2016 19:42

Ha ha Marsha that was the gist of my lost post - get both pairs, but I cba to type it all out again!

Mara I love both marant purchases.

Dh & I have just had a glass of wine catching the last of the sun in our garden- it's been a really sunny day here today.

Queen think you need an early night again

Linus I seem to remember your dh whipping up a cocktail using passoa, i'd love the name of it/recipe if you remember please.

OP posts:
LinusLovesBretons · 16/05/2016 20:03

fedup here you go:

Put in a cocktail shaker, shake and strain in a glass:

1 measure Pasoa (passion fruit liqueur)
1 measure lemon juice
2 measures Tanqueray 10 gin
1/2 passion fruit (optional)
Splash of Angostura Bitters
Crushed ice

Spent the day doing nothing as DH and the DC were home as it was a public holiday here.

Dreamqueen · 16/05/2016 20:20

Queen shop Berenice loving the thought of another meet up. I enjoyed Saturday so much. Girly stuff isn't my usual thing but you lot are so amazing that I might have to change my mind SmileSmileSmileSmile

Have had a very hard day but am very happy to be returning to the normal world. (Those of you who I chatted to about what I've been soon will know what I'm talking about). Glad that the most difficult thing I'll have to decide tomorrow is what to wear!

My uniqlo extra shopping has arrived at Westfield Stratford so going there tomorrow.

Stokey · 16/05/2016 20:24

Evening all,

I love the red heels too Blingy but would probably buy the black for the height.

I need to pick up my cobalt Stans, I think they're at the post office. Would you recommend Marant Mara? I'm in town on Wednesday so could pop in for a browse but might be a bit late.

Anyone bought anything nice from Boden recently? I've got a £10 voucher & 20% off to use by Friday.

KittyHello · 16/05/2016 21:33

Thanks Stokey for reminding me about the Boden voucher, just ordered a navy/green resin bangle and some shorts for dc. The code on the voucher gave me less of a discount than the one that was already there on screen.

justasecond · 16/05/2016 21:42

Hope you are all feeling better today Grin I was obv fresh as a daisy yesterday Grin
I think the black shoes Blingy the red are totally gorgeous too but would not get as much wear?
Bernice shame you couldn't make it, hope we can meet at the next one and One and Viva lara and cranagh
I think most of us agreed on Autumn for my colours?? I was wearing an autumn colour though which may have confused matters, will wear a more winter shade next time for comparison. I had so much fun trying on everyone's lipsticks, why can't grown ups do that sort of stuff more often?!
Mara love both of those and now that I have met you can totally picture you in them! there was a nice white with blue embroidery tunic/dress on the zara website last week with the same vibe as that top. I was going to order to see how it looked with skinnies but I blinked and its gone.
off to watch marcella. Did anyone watch Undercover? what on earth was that ending about Confused

Longislandicetee · 16/05/2016 21:52

Thank you everyone!!!! I am going to get the black in 65 and hold out for them doing the red in 85 at some point. I was soooo drawn to the but can't work out if it's a result of spending time with Marsha and her foxy pumps on Saturday.Grin

HappyGirlNow · 16/05/2016 21:56

Love the Valentinos Blingy..

Longislandicetee · 16/05/2016 21:57

Hello Happy! Long time?

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 16/05/2016 21:58

another bag bites the dust! this time its a bag of stuff for the charity shop though, not a packed up bag. theres already a bin bag of clothes to go to my other sister as well so i think i'm doing okay. seem to be getting into a sort of rhythm with it now and have a better idea of what i want to keep vs get rid of. trying not to hold onto things just for purely sentimental reasons unless its something very special

Drywhitethanks · 16/05/2016 22:45

Blingy WAIT!............you know which ones I love the best don't you ? Grin

Totally buzzing today thinking about Saturday.

Drywhitethanks · 16/05/2016 22:46

And so nice ton tu face cto Just Kitty and Dream now. linus glad you got back safely

Drywhitethanks · 16/05/2016 22:47

Ummmm and again "to put faces to....." Confused

Longislandicetee · 16/05/2016 22:56

The red Dry?Grin

Longislandicetee · 16/05/2016 23:02

love these but they're 4" again!

VivaVegas · 16/05/2016 23:05

Gorgeous shoes Blingy, I really like the lower heel.

maradesbois · 16/05/2016 23:21

Good call Blingy, very decisive.

Stokey would say worth popping in if you're in the vicinity, discount is 40%, it was pretty busy when I was there this afternoon after rushing the end of my proposal to get down there asap but they seemed to have plenty of stock.

justa am just about to watch marcella, should really go to bed but need to know what happens.

libertydoddle · 16/05/2016 23:21

Good work on the packing / clearing out one.

Thanks for the shoe love Bernice Smile.

Great choice on the Valentino's Blingy. That red pair you have just linked are beautiful too.

AmberNectarine · 17/05/2016 07:57

Good choice on the shoes blingy - I'm wearing my beloved burgundy rockstuds today. Will get a heeled pair at some point. Also wearing burgundy twist front dress, leopard print trench and burgundy Pashli (which weighs a ton but good for my biceps, I guess)!

Have just about recovered from Saturday! Am trying to have a week of abstinence before Saturday but in reality I'll be pleased if I make it to Thursday!

Dreamqueen · 17/05/2016 08:56

Just taken my new nude uniqlo skirt to be shortened. Tried it on sober last night and it's slightly trailing on the ground. They're only charging £11 for the alteration. Thought it wold be more expensive. I've ordered the same skirt in black too but will wait and see how the new hem looks before getting that one chopped off.

Had a dodgy tummy and vomit episode last night do feel quite tough today. I think I might have had far too much drink and not enough food over the weekend. Going to try tee total until Saturday.

KittyHello · 17/05/2016 11:36

Love the black 65 Valentino's Blingy

Need 1 or 2 steroid injections in my shoulder tomorrow, am a bit apprehensive but as it's throbbing at the moment I'm looking forward to being pain free in it. Hope it works.

Just shortened the strap of my G Darel black bag to make it a shoulder bag, to wear on other arm rather than cross body. it dawned on me that is exactly what I need to be able to do with a tan one, should I ever come across the right bag at the right shade at the right price.
