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.

Mine are TTS Dream
Has anyone seen any red envelope clutch bags? Looking for a friend....

Drywhitethanks · 08/06/2016 16:13

Dream I'm a 5 1/2 bought child 5, they are fine

HappyGirlNow · 08/06/2016 17:19

bernice you are right, I have done that lots, bought something in 2 colours and only wore one.. I think, having said that, that I'd wear the tan and burgundy with totally different outfits so think I'll be ok.. I see me wearing the burgundy more with all black outfits and the tan with blue denim/cream and white tops type stuff... But then I like tan bag with all black too.. Ha maybe you're right here too Wink anyway.. Can't wait till Monday to get the burgundy Grin

I resigned! As if I wasn't sure I'd made the right choice it was a meeting I hate this afternoon that makes me want to lop off my own ears. I feel great! Amd everyone was so nice and said lovely things, I'll miss loads of them..

Another plus is that we've just submitted plans to the council for a large rear extension.. Husband took plans around to our next door neighbour who we thought would not be happy. And she was totally fine!

Anyhow, sun is shining up here, on train and nearly home, out on motorbikes tonight to clear cobwebs away.. Woohoo.. Exciting times Grin

Hope the sun is shining for all you too!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 08/06/2016 17:33

Yay Happy! Glad the resignation went well, and great news on the Drew and the extension Grin

Yes, Dream my Stans are true to size as well. (Well, me and shop do have the same ones!)

Bernice I am thinking about compiling a sales wishlist, but I need to try and save some £££ for New York as well. Though we've still not booked it... been buying a new car for me instead!

Dreamqueen · 08/06/2016 17:57

Thanks Blair , Shop &Dry
i think I'll order both sizes and send one back. Zalando very kindly reminded me that I'd once looked at them & it'd be rude to ignore them wouldn't it? Smile

maradesbois · 08/06/2016 18:24

Hello,

Wow, I've missed a lot! What a way to spend a bonus Happy, fabulous stuff. Love the Drew bag particularly.

Amber also love the print on your clutch...tempting.

Have done my own Gucci shop this week too, the package have been waiting for finally arrived a few days ago with these beauties. They are a bit of the moment maybe and the full loafer would be more classic but have been coveting them for ages and love, love even though dh hates them and said they look like his slippers Shock. They look good with cropped jeans and my navy Marant jacket with a red thread running through it, coordinated without being too matchy.

Marsha white cutout dress was 1996, I remember it well as was on my gap year and used to ogle it in the shop window near where I was living.

Dream for stans I usually go down half a size but for the pony hair ones I needed usual size.

FedupNagging · 08/06/2016 19:31

So pleased the resignation went ok Happy, it all sounds very exciting.

Gorgeous shoes Mara -ignore dh I usually ignore mine

Am pretty sure I heard on the radio earlier that shell suits are making a comeback?Shock Hmm not a trend I'll be buying into!

I've been pondering block heeled sandals - I need (a relative term, I know) a pair of heels for Saturday to go with white 7/8's. Dune seem to have the nicest these in the blue, grey or blush are top of the list.

I also really like these but not sure I'll be able to walk in them without breaking my neck. If anyone see's any caged heels with an 8cm heel, let me know.

Thanks Mara. I love those Gucci shoes.

shopafrolic · 08/06/2016 20:22

No-one seen any red clutches then.....?

Dreamqueen · 08/06/2016 20:25

Shop any budget for the red clutch?

LinusLovesBretons · 08/06/2016 20:47

shop this clutch is gorgeous but £££.

shopafrolic · 08/06/2016 21:07

Would guess max £150

Longislandicetee · 08/06/2016 21:59

Just nipped in to say hi. Looking forward to catching up. It's been somewhat of a very busy week.!

maradesbois · 08/06/2016 22:00

Shop I can see you with a Pierre Hardy pouch. Not sure about the shade of red as haven't seen the colour way irl but a friend has it in medium size cobalt and black and it looks fab.

Fedup the dune ones look really nice. Love the shape and pastel colours, wouldn't go higher you won't wear them nearly so much.

AmberNectarine · 08/06/2016 22:02

After realising with horror that I don't own any metallic heels, I have purchased these beauties.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 08/06/2016 22:13

Amber I LOVE them! They are gorgeous.

Drywhitethanks · 08/06/2016 22:19

WOW fab shoes tonight all.
Feup I ADOREvthe Dune red caged sandals sits on hands . I bought some black block herled sandals a couple of summers ago, work hard and a good inbetween heel I find. Love the pastel blue and silver....tempted too.

Mara just fantastic......

Amber wow, beautiful gold sandals, a bit unusual.....gorgeous, gorgeous.

My Office red loafers are so comfy.....wore them to work today, felt like slippers.

HappyGirlNow · 08/06/2016 22:20

mara LOVE those Gucci's Grin

Stokey · 08/06/2016 22:21

Love the stars Amber.

Fedup I wore a pair of wooden block heels to the pub last night, I've had them for years but they worked well with cropped flares & peasant blouse.

Heard Dd crying in the utility room this evening and walked in to find she'd tried on my new silver Gigis (worn once), then had an accident and peed all over them. I'm not having a good week clothes wise! And not very handy with needle & thread Bernice 😭

Stokey · 08/06/2016 22:22

Forgot to say congratulations on resigning Happy and loved the bag reveal and fantastic haul.

And great Gucci's Mara, very you.

HappyGirlNow · 08/06/2016 22:31

Thanks stokey Grin

Drywhitethanks · 08/06/2016 22:33

Fedup looks hat you made me do Grin don't dare look at Gucci Grin

QueenC1 · 08/06/2016 22:34

Wow, so much to catch up on!
happy you sound really happy about the resignation which is great. And wow, all those bags. Love the gucci tote.
mara can totally see you in those gucci loafers
shop haven't seen any red clutches
amber love the stars

Whoever asked about sales wishlists...I am keeping an eye on a blouse.

Had a meeting today with someone I'd never met and she's my new girl style crush. Ballet flats, skinny chinos, lovely spotty blouse and 2 cardigans Grin. Sounds awful but it worked (although why she needed 2 cardigans in this heat is beyond me). One was a thin normal Cardi and on top was a sort of holey one so you could see the other one underneath.

Drywhitethanks · 08/06/2016 22:35

Stokey give them a good spray with anti BAC stuff and leave out in sun to dry, they'll be fine.
Where exactly did your dress rip? Along a seam? Could it be mended?

libertydoddle · 08/06/2016 23:29

Gosh it is a shoe night! Great buys Mara and amber!

dry I think I might get your red loafers and we can continue being shoe twins (R&B tan boots, black petty boots etc)

Bernice I am getting a grip about my colours. One of the reasons I post the OOTD is that it makes me realise I have lovely clothes. Somehow in the mirror I think 'meh' but then when I write it down it makes me realise I look OK - that probably makes no sense.

shop will have a look for a red clutch!

Got a new phone today. I like it but such a pita downloading apps, sorting out how everything works, etc. Will take me blooming ages.

happy well done on resignation. You sound so excited!
