MN Vogue - vol 71

[shopafrolic]

The Summer Sale edition. Love fashion? Come join the chat.

Things that cover knees and shoulders Fedup. I quite like thin shirts and long skirts - either midi or maxi - with a vest underneath. Have a lovely holiday.

I'm wearing my cobalt "Good Days Ahead" sweatshirt - hope it doesn't make me look like a Brexiter!

Wow QueenC I live that burgundy lace top, beautiful and a fab colour.

Blair what a shame, beautiful car though.

I'm so excited...I've been invited to an autumn wedding in a castle....with a moat and its a hat do! Yipee, my favourite outfit option, if I could wear a hat/dress/heels combo every day I would.......could wear something I have already my Ascot outfit from last year, loved that hat so much...even though it gave me a head ache but I think if I fall in love with something I might treat myself because I need a dress for my birthday at the end of the year.........

Gosh, just realised it wasn't last year....2 years ago, where has the time gone?

Sounds brilliant Dry, I remember a fab wedding in a Scottish castle once

Ooo that sounds exciting Dry - a great excuse to go to town with the outfit.

Everyone I find Boden petite a good fit on me-I've 'voluptous' thighs too and so long as the fabric isn't too thin they look fine. I wear richmond crops, chino's and my favourite the ankle zip jeans. Also look at Banana Republic as they have a good selection of styles for all shapes.

Stokey I have a s/s cardigan which I thought I could wear over the strappy maxi dresses. Am also taking a large cotton scarf as a cover up.

Lovely, lovely car Blair, I hope the memory of that awful episode is fading fast.

I hope today went well shop.

Perfect opportunity, Dry, to indulge in your favourite type of dressing up!

Holiday outfits sound good fedup. I find myself making a beeline for JL loved & found section. Current reductions are good and there is quite a lot in natural fibres.

Evening,

Dry castle wedding sounds amazing, so fancy and indeed so you!

to Topaz. Was around your neck of the woods at the weekend.

My sympathies to those of you affected by floods, we had a big leak last week, water was pouring into the living room and school closed but no lasting damage.

Blair oh no poor you. Have lost countless hours of my life to waiting for breakdown trucks in the middle of nowhere thanks to petrolhead dh. Car looks great though.

Wish somebody would buy this dress. Gorgeous but too small for me although have lost half a stone over last few weeks and motivated to keep going for another. The weight crept up slowly and took me by surprise that it's of my summer clothes don't fit but am not buying anything new, can do this!

Fedup I second what Stokey said. Maybe midi skirts better than maxi as you are petite.

happy Hols Fedup, I go on Friday. I got the hol clothes out to sort through this morning & I have realised that I should have paid more attention to the pre hol diet [embarrassed] My plans of looking trim in a bikini never really got going thanks to too many gins and nights out.

My feet have started to swell & do weird things as soon as they hit hot climates. I'm going to town this morning to look for the perfect holiday footwear. Any suggestions welcome?

Fitflops Dream are best holiday footwear IMO.

Ordered a Hush jumpsuit on 25/6 and now they're doing 20% off. Do you think I can cancel & reorder? Or just send it back?

Give their CS a call Stokey they are normally quite helpful - ask if they'll honour the discount and if not, then reorder and send the other one back.

Any top tips on Zara footwear sizing? Are they usually TTS?

shop Zara footwear is normally ok but I have got the odd pair of shoes that have been tighter than normal..

I ended up ordering two sizes of these Happy

dry sounds great for you. Can I look at dresses for you?

I ordered this. Lovely top but looks awful on me!

QueenC you have 3 months to come up with the goods! ......need hat remember that one you pinned for me for Blair's wedding, loved that, you can go wild, I like to commit to a hat but prefer height to width you know my colours and style.

Finally got this dress sent to me in an XS (I am a UK12!). It's a keeper but talk about vanity sizing.

Nice espadrilles shop

My DVF bags came - absolutely LOVE them!

Can I get some help pls? Sorry for Daily Fail link but does anyone know where Kim's nude wedges are from?

The article says they are Burberry Happy

Oh sorry shop missed that!

No need to apologise Happy

Can't see them on their website.. But would probs be more than I would pay for shoes anyway..

Respect to her for pushing a buggy wraring those!

Whilst we are talking shoes can you talk to me about ballet flats....does anyone own expensive ones? I know marsha has lanvin. Anyone got repetto or similar? Basically I want to know if expensive ones last longer or whether at the end of the day they're just flimsy shoes like cheaper ones that only last a year...

dry I look forward to it. I'll have to start a pin board. Do I have a budget?

QueenC both Blingy and dry have Russell and Bromley ballet flats.

Black tie update. I met one of the organisers yestetday and she said full length dress expected!!

I have both R and B and French Sole ballet flats.....both have worn well although I have worn thr Fr S less.
I'll spend on the dress QueenC, need to think about budget......don't want to spend too much on the hat, £60 max perhaps, happy to hire
