marsha was watching the YSL show online earlier, very 80s influenced, loved it!

shopafrolic · 28/09/2016 21:49

I loved the new collection though Marsha did you see it?
I bought two Nina Garcia books. The One hundred (which I had read in my Kindle) but the illustrated hardback is so much nicer, and The Style Strategy. I had never clicked that she is the judge on project runway.
The ILs have arrived to help. MIL bought steak and wine and a homemade lasagne. She is going to do my ironing tomorrow while I visit DF in hospital. Amazing.

marsha
I tried those trousers Mara they hang very nicely but I wasn't sure how to wear so returned them. Love the shirt I have a similar embroidered one from there that I wear a lot that is also poly heavy but not 85%. Lovely dresses, very elegant but maybe a little safe for you esp from the front? I think you could carry off something a little more edgy.
happy thats a lovely and warm looking coat. I am defo a coat person but I spend most of my day in one in the winter months so can justify a new one at least every year Blush
dry that red dress is gorgeous, can totally see you in it.

I have decided to return my Hobbs loafers, they are just a bit too much on the classic side for me. Ordered a few things in the cos sale will link if any good.

MarshaBrady · 28/09/2016 22:01

I haven't seen it yet, I must. I'm glad it's still good as HS put YSL back on the map, so it's good if it keeps going

Big wave back to everyone! missing this lovely thread and you lovely lot, need to do some link opening

Longislandicetee · 28/09/2016 22:08

Dry nooooo you can't find your dress yet, what will we talk about for the next 2 months??Confused

Mara how annoying on the job interview.

Shop yay for the in laws! That's lovely of them.

So I was outside the Burberry store in Regent Street today and was sorely tempted to ditch the meeting I was supposed to attend and run in and get my trench!

libertydoddle · 29/09/2016 10:15

Morning all. Today I am wearing olive shirt dress, trench coat, leopard loafers and Jaeger coral tote bag.

Have only one meeting today which is a shocker after v full on month or so. I may have a little regent St browse!!!

Just quickly had to link this for Mara Grin

Bit out there but I think the colour could look fab with your hair.

AmberNectarine · 29/09/2016 10:44

Planning a big NAP order. I do love putting things in my basket!

Everyonelovessparkles · 29/09/2016 11:30

dry glad you liked the links. Hope the dress is nice IRL.

shop that's lovely of your ILs. Hope your DF is doing ok. Flowers

blingy Grin I have been known to rock up to a meeting abroad with a big Reiss or ted baker bag from the airport!

Happy shopping amber Smile

lib OOTD sounds nice.

Talking of coats, I'm thinking of getting this ted baker black jacket as am missing a smart black coat. I tried this on recently and it was so nice and I really liked the colour but realistically I know I'm not going to wear it much, whereas the jacket will get more wear long oxblood coat

QueenCobalt · 29/09/2016 12:17

mara, too classic???

Stokey · 29/09/2016 12:30

There's an article in T2 today about how Kate has upped her game with the Preen dress Mara, we know you spotted it first (or was it Lib?) Grin

HappyGirlNow · 29/09/2016 15:56

Oohs what are you buying from NAP amber ?

There's an YSL bag I am buying myself if I successfully complete Sober October.. That's an incentive to myself Grin

libertydoddle · 29/09/2016 15:58

It was ME!!!! I was linking dresses for various people and suggested mara and I would end up in a scrum for the Preen Grin

OP posts:
AmberNectarine · 29/09/2016 16:09

From NAP: boots, coat, tee and clutch

From Browns: bag

HappyGirlNow · 29/09/2016 16:15

What bag are you fancying amber ?

I'm either going for the YSL Sac Universite or the YSL Dylan

Currently erring towards the Dylan as think it'll be dressier for evening.. Grin

maradesbois · 29/09/2016 16:23

Stokey Grin, if only we had the designers falling at our feet to dress us lib, don't think it is Kate's thing but that is the one and only aspect of her role I would relish.

Blair and QueenC thanks for links, both are lovely but the deep red velvet is particularly gorgeous. Don't know what to do now, ghost dresses arrived and the green one is lovely, going to try on for dsis to get her opinion.

Did anyone hear the fashion news of the day, Vogue has declared war on bloggers. There's a good guardian article about it too.

Marsha, yup, its crap, so competitive and difficult even when you're offering to work for free!

maradesbois · 29/09/2016 16:26

Happy both are lovely. Btw you buy ysl bags more often than I buy apples Grin

Dreamqueen · 29/09/2016 16:30

Can't keep up with all the lovely links!!!!!!
Love the red velvet dress.

New Pistold have arrived & wore them this morning. So far so good with the zip.

HappyGirlNow · 29/09/2016 16:44

mara that made me laugh Grin

This is definitely my last for a while, it's just that the ones I just got, while lovely, are rather tight on space! Plus I'll need a treat after a month of no wine, what was I thinking????!!! Sad

HappyGirlNow · 29/09/2016 17:14

Can I ask for opinions on these Office boots please?

Merriboo · 29/09/2016 17:28

Afternoon all, just caught after a lil break, not been well (bad migraine) and my dog has been diagnosed with diabetes 😔
For anyone who recalls my bag question, I went for the Antigona
I also ordered these beauties which were butter soft leather and fitted perfectly on my feet.... On my skinny calves it was a different matter sadly they were too wide....😢

QueenCobalt · 29/09/2016 17:44

mara I've been reading about vogue v bloggers as I follow WIT on IG and she said something about it.
happy they're not to my personal taste. Do you read allwornout blog as eve has them if you want to see them on someone.

Will catch up properly later-just waiting for pasta to boil. All glamour here.

libertydoddle · 29/09/2016 17:59

They just haven't met us yet Mara Smile. The Ghost dress is a gorgeous colour. Interesting approach by Vogue eds to the bloggers. I do find the bloggers thing quite tiresome and hardly look at any now.

Merriboo great bag. Shame about the boots.

Happy I imagine those boots would really work well with your style.

I had a couple of hours in the shops today and bought yet another shirt dress, this Ines one and also this belt. The dress looks terrible on me without a belt but is completely different belted. That said I need to step away from Uniqlo as the amount I have from there is getting ridiculous!

Had a look in Zara too, this jumpsuit is lovely the lace detailing is really nice. I also saw Happy's faux fur leopard print jacket which looked great until I put it on Confused. Not good on me at all!

Lots of lovely things in Massimo Dutti which I am not going to link as I have them all on my secret 'wait for the sales' pinboard.

Has anyone found good nude tights? I have some M&S Autograph ones but they are rubbish, seem very obvious and keep bunching at my ankles - NOT the look I want. I'm going to have to shell out for Wolfords aren't I???

OP posts:
VivaVegas · 29/09/2016 18:34

Love that jumpsuit Liberty. No help on nude tights as still bare legged until I dig out my opaques, which I refuse to do until October!
No fashion news, my turn to be full of cold this week.

MarshaBrady · 29/09/2016 18:45

So much happening,

Happy you are doing well with the bag collection!

Mara I read that article, I found it really interesting.

Lib nice detailing on jumpsuit

But I am so intrigued, which was the Preen dress Kate wore?!

(My scrolling back skills are terrible these days.)
