Oh for those who haven't met me, 12 on top, 14 bottom so flared/ a-line shapes are better.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/06/2016 19:35

Ooh Lib how exciting! Will get on the search...

Happy I too am going to the lake district this weekend! We are just doing a stop off on the way back from Glasgow, where we are flying to to pick up my new car yes, we're crazy like that. I don't have accommodation yet either! Hope the weather is nice for us both.

Mara beautiful shoes, the sale sounds fab. Sometimes you can find pics of previous season items on pinterest if others have pinned them in the past.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/06/2016 20:07

Some teal/green/blue ones...
Lace in teal or forest green
Banana Republic
Tibi but you'd need a cover up.

Stokey · 22/06/2016 20:45

Wow that bag is a bargain everyone, I quite fancy it in red.... and it's my birthday soon.

Popped into All Saints & Zara today but was very uninspired. In fact I hate Zara at sales time, it just becomes a jumble sale. Bought some cheap make-up at Kiko though, a brand I haven't tried before, so will see how it goes.

Worried about tomorrow, this whole thing has been so divisive.

libertydoddle · 22/06/2016 21:00

Oh Blair thank you. Love the first two. The Tibi is lovely too but I think in the environment I"d be self conscious in strapless.

Stokey me too. Feeling v anxious tbh. The implications are huge.

HappyGirlNow · 22/06/2016 21:13

Ooh What car are you getting blair? Grin

We're staying in Grasmere, just heading down on the bikes on Saturday morning with another couple we're friends with and meeting a third couple, our friends from Hull.. Staying in Grasmere. Ride out on the bikes and nice meal and few drinks at night, back home on the Sunday.. So yes, fingers crossed for nice weather!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/06/2016 21:26

I'm glad the referendum hasn't been brought up on here until today there's been enough of it on facebook tbh but I've been checking this daily to stop me sinking into worry and misery Wink glad it will be over this time tomorrow.

A few more dresses from Monsoon Lib:
Issa designer
Dusky colours
Pale grey

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/06/2016 21:30

Happy I think we want to stay in Pooley Bridge, as it's near the motorway. I love the area, my grandparents lived there so I went lots growing up. Going on bikes sounds awesome!

I'm getting a BMW Z4 M coupe . DH and I are petrolheads :)

Everyonelovessparkles · 22/06/2016 21:38

lib do you want long or short? Not sure what Autumn colours are Blush but thought this was pretty Jenny packham

Everyonelovessparkles · 22/06/2016 21:42

or this one. Jenny Peckham at debenhams in case links don't work as on phone Jenny packham 2

HappyGirlNow · 22/06/2016 21:44

Yup love the lakes blair

Ooh love that BMW, what colour? such a girl Grin

We are petrolheads too - umpteen bikes and cars.. I have an SL, love it..

AmberNectarine · 22/06/2016 21:46

I've got a few bits from Kiko stokey, not bad at all.

Exciting about the car Blair.

Work has been mental this week, but DS totally on the mend which is such a relief.

Off to sunny Bristol with DH for a night away this weekend. Looking forward to unwinding.

In shopping news I bought this top because I love my dress version and I like a bit of orange in the summer. I have had lots of wang this season .

libertydoddle · 22/06/2016 22:49

Thanks Blair, of the second 3 my favourite is the floral dusky one. Envy at your new wheels.

Everyone those dresses are lovely and great shape for me. Autumn colours are forest green, teal, petrol, cream, gold, brick red, cherry, browns of all tones, mustard etc and colours that tone with those.

Amber good to hear that DS is better.

Anyway after saying keep it cheap on here I've been off looking at Matches etc and am now in a sulk that I can't afford Oscar de la Renta

But have decided definitely want knee length or just below knee not full length.

maradesbois · 23/06/2016 00:13

lib I know you said don't want full length but if you want to borrow this let me know. Think we are similar size/shape and I find it flattering. The skirt is terracotta so good for autumns.

Drywhitethanks · 23/06/2016 06:56

Ah it all makes sense now Blair, you're a car person, I suspected so when I mentioned my heated steering wheel. The Lakes are not so far from me, beautiful beautiful beautiful. Happy have a fab time too.

Lib I'm so excited for you, need to open links, they sound fab.

I'm chuffed with my outfit today perhaps it will be weather appropriate, I've either frozen or boiled this week

Banana R Sloane fit ankle grazers in caramel
BR olive green round necked, sleeveless top with ruffles
Snake skin block heeled sandals
Brown and gold wrap Chan Lu style bracelet
V Autumn

Feeling nervous about today too

shopafrolic · 23/06/2016 07:45

I feel sick about today. Have kept quiet on here but please vote Voguettes. Regardless of your opinion, please vote.

Not so sure its sunny amber

HappyGirlNow · 23/06/2016 08:43

Love the sound of your outfit dry lovely colour combo Grin

I feel nervous today too.. Sad

libertydoddle · 23/06/2016 09:32

Have voted. Fingers crossed.

Mara that is beautiful and so lovely of you to offer to lend it. I'll be in touch. Flowers

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/06/2016 10:35

Dry Grin

Happy it's dark blue! Envy of the SL. DH has an M3 and a Yamaha so we're going to be an M family. I've just booked somewhere in Penrith for Saturday... hope you find somewhere.

Mara that dress is beautiful and so you. Lib I love some of QueenC's choices on pinterest too.

Will be voting tonight and popping out to dinner after. I was going to stay up for the results, but I'm knackered because DH woke me up at 3am as water was dripping onto our bed from the ceiling Hmm Bloody rain!

Everyonelovessparkles · 23/06/2016 10:39

dry your outfit sounds very stylish

I'm knackered after a night on flood watch. The garden is submerged and at one point I thought the house would flood Shock. lib's dress search is keeping my mind off it!

Another one for you! [[www.johnlewis.com/l-k-bennett-prula-graphic-floral-dress-peach/p2581298 lk bennet]

libertydoddle · 23/06/2016 10:59

Oh no everyone. That sounds awful. Hope it subsides a bit today.

I love that LK Bennett dress, gorgeous. On my shortlist!

AmberNectarine · 23/06/2016 12:13

Well, it took me 2.5h to drive the normally 4m school run because the town is flooded, so it can't be worse than here QueenC!

Have voted though.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 23/06/2016 12:42

Amber dp never said anything about flooding! I hope he managed to get to work okay Confused

Stokey · 23/06/2016 13:28

I've voted, last night did feel like an apocalyptic judgement day.

We're OK but they're flooded just down the road with a school closed. Hope your's doesn't encroach further everyone.

I'm wearing my Cos midi skirt with Kindred tee shirt and white & cobalt Stans (and of course waterproof jacket). Hot & wet is so hard to dress for.

Have you looked at Coast or Karen Millen Lib? There's normally the odd gem to be found amongst their stuff. Also Baukjen is having its sale but may be too casual.
