Summertime, and the livin' is easy...some of us are basking on beaches, others are managing the madness that is school's out but work goes on...either way we want to look chic in the heat while it lasts

Come tell us what you are wearing on these balmy days...it's friendly here Smile

peachmama · 31/07/2016 20:06

Your HL is an absolute corker too amber - bet DH loves that dress!.

Everyonelovessparkles · 31/07/2016 20:26

bling navy or black Or another navy one but maybe they are too long??

AmberNectarine · 31/07/2016 20:37

peach you beauty! I think this could be the one!! Need to decide between plum, red or navy though!

AmberNectarine · 31/07/2016 20:39

My HL is this one if you did fancy it blingy.

AmberNectarine · 31/07/2016 20:50

Just seen they make any colour to order. Oh dear.

Everyonelovessparkles · 31/07/2016 21:05

QueenC1 · 31/07/2016 21:39

sequin but no model shot

QueenC1 · 31/07/2016 21:40

I know amber, but you should have seen some of the monstrosities that came up when I googled sequin dress!

QueenC1 · 31/07/2016 21:49

Gorgeous peaches, I want this one. amber the purple colour is divine

Longislandicetee · 31/07/2016 22:03

Ooh lots of links!Flowers

So Ambers first link, the papaya HL dress is a hit and its on its way to me! Totally love it, and showed it to dh who...err loved the idea probably a bit too much.Grin

Thank you so much for offering to lend me your blue one which is gorgeous. I am a sentimental pup (in case you hadn't guessed from my FB postsGrin) so want to keep the dress I get.

I love Everyone's Jenny Packham link. It's a gorgeous dress and my finger hovered over the buy button for a bit but it's probably too drapey for me, as when I have had a drink and am throwing shapes on the dance floor, I don't want to be conscious about revealing anything.

Love Peach's link but it's probably too serious for the occasion. However, omg, I love that website, and am going back in a minute to have a proper look around. How have I not heard of them before?!!

The navy Ralph Lauren is a contender too. Love that.

The Gucci dress is also on its way, QueenC to me though now I am worried that the sequins are too much. If I said it doesn't have to be sequinned but just a knock out party dress, would you have linked something else?

I should add, without wanting to give too much away that we will be doing a photo shoot with a photographer before the party begins hence my sudden panic about the dress . BlushLoses all her MNV friends

AmberNectarine · 31/07/2016 22:06

Totally get it blingy, I still have the outfit I was wearing when I had my first kiss with DH.

Glad you like the HL, I think you'll look amazing in that (and they're so flattering).

AmberNectarine · 31/07/2016 22:08

I really like that one too QueenC, also a contender!

peachmama · 01/08/2016 06:07

Amber that dress is gorgeous!. Chuffed I helped you to find it Grin. Have you decided on colour?.

Glad the website is a good one everyone and Queen. I have long drooled over some of the dresses but not had one yet.

Great you found great dresses blingy - hopefully just the right one is on its way to you.

Happy Monday one and all - may your week sparkle Flowers.

Baby peach and I are heading to see family for a few days, so probably radio silence from me. Back soon - happy shopping!.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/08/2016 10:09

Have fun peach!

I loved last night's dress chat, was reading but didn't post as it was after I suddenly felt very ill yesterday at a family party, luckily wasn't sick but nearly Blush, but anyway came home and had an early night. Blingy I think you will look AMAZING in the papaya HL, it is absolutely stunning and I'm not surprised at your DH's reaction! I don't think the Gucci is your colour.

I've looked at the gorgeous couture site before and also love the dresses, so looking forward to hearing your report Amber.

I can't remember who asked (sorry) but no, I'm not going to reorder the warehouse jumpsuit in a smaller size. It was so ridiculous that I think I'd need something like a 4!

Dreamqueen · 01/08/2016 10:25

Wow, so much to catch up on since yesterday morning. will look in a while.

I've just finished clearing up yesterdays carnage. I'm too embarrassed to take the empties to the bottle bank, I'd be there for ages dumping the 3 black bags of bottles. [blush[ [blush[
a good time was had by all & my indian food was a hit. I feel fine today Shock I stuck to gin, woke up clear headed at 6am & started tidying up.

QueenC1 · 01/08/2016 10:49

Can't wait to see what they look like blingy. Sequins were hard to find but I didn't really see anything else that jumped out at me as they were all too work-y.

dry I think your skirts will be fine and not too casual. Are the dc going with you? What's dd taking to wear?

Mixed weather here -not sure what to do today as don't want to go to far and get caught in rain....

BerniceBobsHerHair · 01/08/2016 13:33

Lots of lovely dress links.

Blingy you will look amazing in that red HL dress.

Blair I hope you are okay and maybe pregnant??!

Peach hope you have a good break away.

Shop sounds like you had a lovely family holiday. I really like Cyprus and can write an essay of things to do there

I've sent most of my recent orders back - the Maison Scotch jumpsuit was awful and I couldn't take it off quickly enough! Shame as it was a lovely print. I initially tried just the right foot of the leopard trainers and really liked them but when I got the left one out, the pattern didn't match at all! It would have annoyed me everytime I looked down, so back they went.

I have kept the Hudson boots - see pic.

We have started having people over for lunch more in an effort to be more sociable - always do something easy like slow cooked / roasted meat / chilli / curries which can mainly be done before hand. Takes some of the pressure off as does Wine

Pregnant?! - what/where? - how can I have missed this?!.

Thanks very much bernice - we leave in the morning so time for some time for a bit of MN'ing though should be packing

Queen - I just got very caught in the rain!. However, was wearing my not necessarily massively stylish waterproof at least.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 01/08/2016 17:16

Oh no, I'm starting rumours...Blush

Just that since Blair got married last year, some of us have been on pregnancy watch monitoring any mention of sickness, tiredness etc Grin
