Fabulous Amber

libertydoddle · 20/11/2016 19:02

Love those amber. Is anyone else getting pop up ads on the mobile site that cover half the thread? Makes MN unusable IMO Angry

HappyGirlNow · 20/11/2016 21:25

Love the trousers amber !!

maradesbois · 20/11/2016 22:56

Evening,

Hope everyone had good weekends. I just saw the new Tom Ford film Nocturnal Animals, was terrified, clutched my dsis's arm for most of it. Really good though and the modernist chic setting of curzon Mayfair was very fitting for Tom!

Dh got a call from Goyard confirming that my birthday handbag is ready! He'll pick it up when next in Paris, will have it before Christmas though.

Topaz bargain sheepskin boots, love a trip to Costco too. Our local butcher has some gorgeous sheepskin rugs atm, am tempted to get one for my bedroom.

Everyone think Gucci just did their price rise, some things I was looking at a couple of months ago have just gone up by around £100.

lib, no I didn't see those pop ups.

blair oh no, that's shit. Bet you've lost all sympathy for dh about his teeth now too! Can you take fedup's advice and go straight to British Gas?

Bernice and Dream great M&S buys. Think the Alexa stuff is doing them some good. Like how the coat is styled with cropped trousers and dm-type boots too, looks very you Bernice.

Blingy get well soon.

Shop meant to say love the look of the curry you linked the other day, have bookmarked it to make one night this week.

Nice trousers Amber, love the colour. I took advantage of Outnet 20% today too:

camo equipment shirt. Unusual choice for me maybe but would wear for low key nights out with my skinny marrakesh and black fendi ankle boots I wore to mu. Will see.

cream jumper. Have this already in navy and love the shape and side split.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/11/2016 12:12

Great news about the bag Mara, looking forward to seeing pics when you get it :)

We already tried British Gas last weekend and we would have been happy to take out a contract too, but they couldn't come until Wednesday whereas this guy came on Monday. We might try them again though. DH is handling it (least he can do!)

QueenCobalt · 21/11/2016 12:40

Still no joy, blair? You must be freezing.
mara great news on the bag

Utterly p'ing it down here. Also have ds off sick (dd was off last week). Luckily dm is coming down so I don't need to worry about childcare this week.

libertydoddle · 21/11/2016 13:45

Remember the DHL man story...I only got around to booking return collection for today as I have been busy - DH answered the door and the cheeky sod just went 'told you!' to DH. DH is Grin x 10 while I am Blush. I can never face the man again.

Chucking it down here too QueenC and so dark - bloody miserable.

Longislandicetee · 21/11/2016 14:01

Lib that is soooooo funny!Grin

My weekend was a write off. My illness ended up getting worse so I ended up in hospital. I am now at home sporting crutches as my new fashion accessories. And my outfits have been pjs. Today a polka for one from M&S. I would get my coat to leave the thread if I could reach it!Hmm

Dreamqueen · 21/11/2016 14:33

Get well soon Blingy

Fingers crossed Blair that you have heating back quickly.

Mara can't waut to see your v posh bag.

Grin Lib at the DHL man.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/11/2016 14:46

Oh no Blingy, that sounds awful! Hope you are on the mend now Flowers

Lib lol you were probably the highlight of his day!

Strangely the house being cold has been bearable, with one electric heater in the living room. We are mid terrace which helps.

AmberNectarine · 21/11/2016 14:47

So, the SJP shoes arrived and are exquisite. So, so pleased with them.

Also, saw the house today and I LOVE it, so I think we will put ours on the market pronto and make an offer. I can't believe I may one day live there

Blingy, that sounds awful. Please take care x

shopafrolic · 21/11/2016 16:23

Blingy REST UP PLEASE
Blair glad you aren't too chilly - hope all gets sorted soon
Amber yay for lovely house and lovely shoes
Do any of you follow Trinny Woodall on Insta? Absolutely hilarious - and also finds some excellent goodies in TS.
Horrible wet and gloomy day here. I took the dog out for a walk an even she looked at me to say "WTF are we doing out" so I turned round and headed home. I watched the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix before pick up - very strange story.
No real fashion news to report - need to start thinking about what to wear on Christmas day as I will now be entertaining when I had hoped I wouldn't be........

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 21/11/2016 16:45

blingy please PLEASE make sure you rest, please. you need to look after yourself or you'll be back in the hospital lovey. take care of yourself, you hear?! [thank]

blair hope the heatings sorted soon, it's only getting colder and you don't want to spend christmas with no heating, i did once and i was alone to boot and it was absolutely freezing and miserable!

amber exciting about the house, hope it works out.

Everyonelovessparkles · 21/11/2016 17:10

Love the colour of those trousers amber and exciting news about the house. Hope it all works out. Am very Envy at the prospect of a dressing room.

Yes I think Gucci have just done their price increase with their new in stuff. Annoying! Though I read that other European fashion houses may do be same in the near future after they've finished milking the flood of U.K. sales from overseas visitors enjoying the weak pound

Nice jumper mara and very exciting about your bag!

blingy hope you are feeling better. Take it easy. Flowers

The weather is mis today. shop your walk with the dog sounds like me yesterday, we took the kids out for run around and jump in puddles but I underestimated how bitter it was and was very grumpy!

Fingers crossed the boiler gets mended soon blair. I had to join a gym once when we had boiler problems, just so I could use their showers!

Drywhitethanks · 21/11/2016 19:49

Thank god for my Seasalt coat, unbelievable weather today, looks like my village will flood .

Amber that's so exciting...keeping fingers crossed for you.
Blingy listen to Shop, you need to rest.

kittyhello · 21/11/2016 21:27

Mara was thinking about your Goyard bag as I've been coveting Louise Redknapp's monochrome one which she's been using for Strictly. Glad you're going to be re-united with it soon. Love the camo shirt btw.

Blingy hope you start to feel better soon.

Lara beautiful Celine

Amber great trousers and SJP sandals, house move sounds exciting.

Lib that's so funny about the DHL man.

Blair really hope your boiler is fixed soon, how's dh?

Dream loved the valet M&S skirt and I was toying with the metallic one but wondered if it would be too long as I'm only short, I was hoping they'd do it petite.

Inspired by your leather leggings chat, I decided to dip my toe, I didn't go for leather as I wasn't sure I'd wear them much so went for leather look leggings they actually look better on than I thought. Will give them an outing at the weekend.

Longislandicetee · 21/11/2016 21:35

Don't worry all, I have spent all of today (and the last 4 days) in bed, much of it sleeping. Kitty those leggings look nice. Amber ditto the sjp. Am a long way off from wearing heels! Blair really hope your boiler situation is sorted.

maradesbois · 21/11/2016 22:12

Evening,

Blingy FlowersBrew. Glad you are resting up, sounds horrendous.

Lib Grin at dh/dhl man bromance at your expense!! Your post reminded me though that I shouldn't have ordered from Outnet as fell out with dhl big time in October after they messed up hugely, I called the delivery guy a liar and all sorts because he is and made a complaint to head office, got NAP involved and basically flounced saying I would never use them again Blush. Oh well, will have to see how this one goes.

Kitty the leggings look good. Do you have link to Louise R goyard bag?

Sales are starting already, 25% at NAP.

Wanted to share a lovely link, tried this coat on today. Is gorgeous, fits like a glove. Was wearing a yellow jumper and even that didn't kill it! Have taken all the details in case dh needs ideas for Christmas gift, would look brilliant with my new bag...

Drywhitethanks · 21/11/2016 23:01

Gosh that's stunning Mara

libertydoddle · 22/11/2016 07:55

Gorgeous cost mara. You would look fabulous in that.
I have zero fashion mojo today. Roll on Christmas. I need a couple of weeks of fun!

QueenCobalt · 22/11/2016 08:26

Thank goodness the weather is dry today-I wasn't looking forward to getting to work in that rain.
mara divine coat-hope you get it
kitty those look good. Have been debating coated jeans but not sure they're really my style.
amber exciting news in the house. Is it in the same place? There's some gorgeous houses round there. Glad shoes are good too.

No fashion news here-wearing my favourite Toast top today with lots of layers on top for cycling!

maradesbois · 22/11/2016 10:22

Morning,

QueenC I like topshop jamie coated skinnies. Need a new pair for this winter.

Ootd is grey ts skinnies with cream Zara silk shirt under navy Marant jumper with the side split.

Blair pls could you re-link your obi belt? I remember it looked good, am looking for one to wear over my velvet party dress.

kittyhello · 22/11/2016 13:25

Mara here are LR's bags:

monochrome tote

Love this blue one too excuse the DM link

I quite like her style at times and that too of Emma Thatcher. Here's their lifestyle blog a style album

Everyonelovessparkles · 22/11/2016 13:43

Love that coat mara, hope your DH gets the hint Grin Those topshop skinnies look good. I'm always on the look out for some black trousers / jeans as feel this is a gap in my wardrobe. Your OOTD sounds lovely. I really like the navy and cream combo.

lib that is so funny about your DH and the delivery guy!

Nice leggings kitty, you will look really good in those.

In the office today, OOTD is black polo, black sparkley beads and a black satin skirt with grey and purple block stripe round the bottom from ted baker years ago. I'm quite pleased as it hasn't fit for a while post babies, but I managed to get into it today easily. Shoes are the patent flats and bag is the grey radley tote.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/11/2016 14:12

Hi all

Mara that coat is so beautiful, I hope your DH gets it for you for Christmas. Here's my belt, a few colours to choose from.

kitty omg I've seen that blog before and thought "she looks like Louise Redknapp" haha! Must be quite fun to do a joint blog.

How exciting about the house Amber, fingers crossed you get it. Are you moving far? Not too far from TK Maxx I hope Wink

In today's house related rant, we've booked British Gas to come next Monday, the other plumber is still trying to get the part apparently Hmm Last night our microwave broke and the house roof and conservatory roof both leaked. However today I have got back our repaired sofa cushion and bought a new bed and mattress (we're in dire need and couldn't put it off any longer). Christmas? What Christmas?!
