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

Bernice thanks for the bag link, it's perfect

Shop I would love Sofia Coppola's wardrobe for its simplicity, I love her style along with Emma Willis's and Olivia Palermo's. Frankie Bridge's off duty non Saturday's look is pretty good at times too.

I also like the boyishness of Emmanuelle Alt and Cappuccino Safyurtlu but as they are a foot taller than me I can't do that look.

Have a great evening Fedup

KittyHello · 20/05/2016 20:49

Forgot yo say great Uniqlo buys Dream I think I may take a look at their site as I saw a few things on Saturday that caught my eye.

Watching The Commitments on tv, takes me way way back. Forgot how great the soundtrack still sounds.

KittyHello · 20/05/2016 20:52

Doh not Cappuccino, you know who I mean! Grin

Dreamqueen · 20/05/2016 21:03

i don't have a style celeb icon to follow. The truth is I'm not that stylish in real life ( i wish I had an icon)
In truth I follow instinct and my whims. ( prob why I make so many fashion mistakes)

For dinner out tonight I wore, an old Zara denim paper bag style dress with blue suede espadrilles. It covered a multitude of sins.

LinusLovesBretons · 20/05/2016 21:06

Lol at Cappucino!

kitty I used to have The Commitments cd as I loved the film and the music so much.

I agree re. Sofia Coppola, I like her simple but classic wardrobe.

HappyGirlNow · 20/05/2016 22:25

I love Diane Kruger, Naomi Watts, Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron Grin

HappyGirlNow · 20/05/2016 22:25

Oh and Rosie H-W..

QueenC · 21/05/2016 07:26

dream you looked gorgeous last week and are definitely stylish with your hair and glasses so no more talk like that please!
Love Sofia Coppola too-have a few of her looks pinned. And i have a bit of a crush on kirsten dunst-I think she's really pretty.

Longislandicetee · 21/05/2016 08:42

Morning! my lovely love latches (black 65) arrived and they are utterly awesome. I am so in love with them. So now I want to get the red ones either as a well done to myself because I get a job I want (and am obsessing over) or more likely as a consolation because I don't get it!

It's a huge deal chez Bling tonight as we are using a new baby sitter. I am terrified they will act up for her as neither of them likes going to bed and both are clingy with me. As a result dh and I have barely had a social Life over the last 8/9 months and so we have decided to break out of the funk. Wish me luck!

Happy Saturdays to everyone, off to the gym.

Longislandicetee · 21/05/2016 08:43

Dream, I agree with QueenC by the way. You looked lovely last week.

Stokey · 21/05/2016 08:55

Marsha I always think Cameron Diaz is quite you - that laidback surfer chick style that only tall blondes can do Envy

I love La Moss too, feel like we've grown up together and can channel her rock chick.

I missed Boden as was out last night, regretting not getting the ruched skirt but am cycling quite a bit at the moment which doesn't work well with tight skirts!

I think I need some cropped flares or culottes - anyone got any recommendations? Am in town for my course on Wednesday so could try some on.

Longislandicetee · 21/05/2016 11:24

I decided long ago that culottes and I were never meant to be!

I am wearing this Me & Em stripe top which I ordered after seeing how good Shop looked in a similar top last week. It's slightly blowy so I have my new leather jacket, Gap children's skinnier and converse. I am also using the Miu Miu bag which I changed my mind about!Blush

MarshaBrady · 21/05/2016 12:12

Oh I love your suggestions Stokey and Linus! Very nice indeed.

I do really like E Alt, Capucine S and Sofia C and Kate Moss and all mentioned here, they look good

Sounds nice Blingy

I want to go in to town to Marant, but I have Marant jumper (with a logo) and shoes on. If I go in I will have to hide the logo I reckon, and can't be bothered changing. Will see if I can muster up the impetus.

Going to a party tonight, going to see Amber there! and lots of other stylish people. Having a crisis of wardrobe. I have nothing - other than the Marant dress. argh. So I do want to go in to see if I can last minute shop.

MarshaBrady · 21/05/2016 12:16

Stokey culottes makes me think of Other Stories for some reason. What colour would you like?

Stokey · 21/05/2016 13:03

I'm thinking denim Marsha but want to check out skirts at &OS so may pop there anyway. Those do look good.

You should definitely go to Marant, its actually pretty muggy out there. Ditch the jumper?

Scary article in Times mag today about how leggings are the new skinnies. Apparently it's all about athleisure.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 21/05/2016 13:31

Marsha I think of the beachy, Californian vibe of Cameron Diaz for you too, but I don't know if I am being unimaginative and being influenced by your country of origin!

I've been keen on a pair of culottes for ages Stokey but haven't found any that suit. Having said that I can't think of any I've tried Confused - think Uniqlo a while ago and Atterley even longer ago (seeing as it is no longer with us).

Betty I have bought the same Boden bracelet as you - mine is on back order though, has yours arrived?

Lib loved the sound of your outfit yesterday. Are the culottes still available?

Blingy hope you have a great time tonight - will you be wearing the shoes?? Could you go out tonight after DC are asleep (so that they don't play up for the sitter) or would that be too late?

QueenC · 21/05/2016 13:44

stokey- have a look in warehouse-pretty sure last time I looked they had some denim culottes. On my phone at swimming at mo with rubbish wifi so can't check for you.

Those out tonight have fun.

Dreamqueen · 21/05/2016 13:52

I wrote a long post earlier but it's disappeared.Confused
Haven't got the energy to write it again hungover
Stokey I got some denim culottes in Uniqlo these ones They're much nicer in real life than in the picture.

FedupNagging · 21/05/2016 14:58

Last night I ended up wearing the white jeans and navy broderie top I wore to the MU last week but with 4'' silver wedges; I had some lovely comments about the outfit so was pleased.

Good luck in getting out of the house tonight Blingy - what are you wearing? Nice breton too.

Marsha and Amber your evening sounds fun - any chance of a bathroom selfie of you both? Grin

Stokey leggings are the latest fashion statement Shock - I can only pull the legging look off if I'm wearing a long tunic and knee high boots which is apparently frowned upon in MN style & beauty

Oh and I love my ootd - BR black crops, white l/s t under raspberry s/s batwing jumper (Jigsaw), giant scarf of assorted colours and Ash jordy's.

Stokey when I was last in Zara, they had lots of culottes:

Love these - tried them on but they were too long for culottes and too short for proper trousers

Denim culottes

In white - like the side button

Pirate trousers anyone?

Bernice here are my Uniqlo culottes. I got them in large. They are lovely on IMO, drape nicely. 96% poly but I've worn them several times and haven't had problems with feeling hot or with static. Several people have commented on how flattering they are. I have seen Dream's denim ones IRL too and they might be worth you trying too as they are great.

libertydoddle · 21/05/2016 15:47

Stokey I read that article about leggings too. When I was in NZ in February they were everywhere - all the staff in bars and cafes in trendy places like Queenstown had adopted them as uniforms and they just seemed the default wear for the young and uber cool. But like most fashion it's all about what it says - ie I am really fit and sporty and toned enough to carry this off!! Which means it will never be me... On a slightly TMI note though, I think pubic hair needs to get back into vogue too for anyone wearing these as the amount of camel toe on display was enough to put a girl off her flat white!

MarshaBrady · 21/05/2016 17:07

Ha Fedup will try!

Went quickly into town but couldn't find anything I wanted Marant, really lovely stuff, lots of prints, but I think more for Mara than me. I loved a bubblegum pink jumper but it was still fp sadly.

AmberNectarine · 21/05/2016 18:02

Drinking pre-game cocktails wearing this dress, gunmetal glitter Giuseppe Zanotti stilettos and Givenchy Rottweiler clutch!

libertydoddle · 21/05/2016 20:06

Great outfit amber Smile
