My Christmas nails

MNV Volume 75......the Christmas edition

Lovely nails Shop, try and enjoy the party, what are scented stars, I like the sound of those? I think I stumbled across your page on Pin today when I searched a Whistles shirt I had ordered in the sale yesterday, its a giraffe print one, is it nice? I've ordered the dress in the same print as well but only intend to keep one as there's only so much giraffe print a person needs!

shopafrolic · 23/12/2016 17:38

Viva the giraffe print shirt is fab. As is my latest giraffe print sweater but yes I need to stop now with the print Xmas Grin
Will find a link for the stars - they have gone down well. Hang on.

Hope you manage to enjoy the party tonight Shop; sounds tough all round. Fab nails.

Viva thinking of you too.

Happy a holiday in Dubai sounds lovely.

Hope you're having a good time Blingy

Marsha I love the dress you have ordered - not something I expected you to buy so love to see a pic. Have you worn it yet?

Lib I hope you have managed to sort all work woes and can now relax into christmas.

Queen do you have running water now?

Dry enjoy your family christmas.

My nails are wearing this gorgeous colour - it was in the advent calendar and I love it.

We are off out to friends soon so currently trying to decide what to wear. We will be walking home so flat boots will feature!

MarshaBrady · 24/12/2016 10:18

Fedup I tried it on and sent it back!

It is lovely, and great quality, but I am not a DvF person after all. Just slightly on the too natural side for me. The print too.

Longislandicetee · 24/12/2016 12:10

Oh no Marsha!!

Another day spent lazing in the sun here. I have been wearing this bikini today and as sun is going down I have just put this cover up on. I was dubious when I bought it last year but it works. A woman walked past me earlier and said I looked beautiful. I am still grinning.

We have Christmas Eve dinner at a celebrity chef restaurant so let's up the meal lives up to the price tag!Xmas Grin

hope your Christmas Eves are as relaxing!

queencerulean · 24/12/2016 14:14

Wow, I can't quite believe it's Christmas Eve.
fedup once I eventually got hold of a plumber, the problem was solved within minutes. Basically a pipe connector had broken.

Went to friends last night and wore navy lace blouse and navy velvet shoes. Going to the pub tonight and will wear glitter shoes.

Enjoy the rest of the day gorgeous voguettes x

LinusLovesBretons · 24/12/2016 16:03

Merry Christmas lovely MNVoguettes!

Here on the continent we celebrate on Christmas Eve so I am getting ready for an evening with my Dps.

I am probably going to wear an old Chinti & Parker dress with my Chanel jacket and necklace and my trusty Manolos.

And my new sapphire ring for a bit of extra bling Xmas Wink

Not sure yet what I'll wear for Christmas Day at DPils tomorrow but maybe a navy APC dress.

Have a lovely time and hugs to all of you who are missing a loved one at the table.

AmberNectarine · 24/12/2016 19:37

Evening all

Back from a whirlwind of a week - Milan was magical, great to spend time with DH but it has made today a challenge after our flight was delayed and I missed the grocery delivery . Anyway, all resolved now but I don't recommend the aggro! DS did a lovely reading at Christingle this evening, I was so proud!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Xmas and sorry to those of you who've been having a tricky run up.

Xxx

shopafrolic · 24/12/2016 22:04

Stopping by to wish you all a very Merry Christmas Voguettes.
Special thanks to Blingy for a lovely surprise today.
We've had a lovely evening with friends and family. Hope you all have a wonderful time xx

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 24/12/2016 22:07

Hi all and happy Christmas Eve Xmas Smile

We've had a super festive day with a bracing dog walk, Xmas market and ice rink, children's church service and finally mulled wine and pub.

Glad you had a good time in Milan Amber.

Shame about the dress Marsha, it looked so promising!

Blingy what a lovely compliment, we do know you have fab pool side style though Xmas Smile

Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow and all your Christmas wishes come true. You all deserve it! Cheers Wine

ps Looking forward to reports of glam Xmas outfits and stylish presents!

Merry Christmas lovely Voguettes Xmas Smile

We have had a lovely few days catching up with old friends and family. Hosted a party today, wore my new REDValentino white Victorian shirt with and navy wool VW tartan mini that is years old but got lots of compliments.

Hope you all have a good day tomorrow and that it's not too hard for those who are struggling, thinking of you Viva Flowers

Merry Christmas beautiful Voguettes!

Here's to a gorgeous and stylish Christmas for you all. Big love, mwah.

MarshaBrady · 25/12/2016 08:40

The dc are unbelievably excited but didn't wake before 6.30am, which was early enough considering one of them lay awake until midnight! -waiting for the stocking I suspect

queencerulean · 25/12/2016 08:47

Merry Christmas gorgeous ones.

Early start this morning from the 11yo-she's more excited than the younger two!!

Going for my annual Christmas run, shower then fizz!!!

shopafrolic · 25/12/2016 09:21

Merry Christmas Voguettes! Have a wonderful day full of fizz and suitably stylish gifts. Much love to all the miniVoguettes too. Xmas Smile

Merry Christmas everyone. In a supreamly non Vogue way I can announce that Gooey Louey is the hit of the morning in the Liberty household Grin.

AmberNectarine · 25/12/2016 11:09

Didn't get to bed until 4am! Up before 6 with kids Still, got a bit of an 'early Xmas present' from DH so was worth it, on balance

On to actual presents... I was very lucky to find the Sophia Webster sandals I have wanted for months, an Aspinal mini trunk clutch and a Bella Freud jumper under the tree, plus some tickets for lots of fun events next year. DH got an Armani tie, McQueen cufflinks, lots of CDs/DVDs etc and his trip to Milan. Both happy, I think!

Kids are going MENTAL. I am hiding in the bath with champagne.

FedupNagging · 25/12/2016 12:11

Merry Christmas voguettes, have a fab day, all of you.

No early start here thank goodness , Turkey cooking away, fizz chilling, all is calm and quiet.......

until the dgc's arrive (any minute now) and it will be the usual Christmas chaos Xmas Grin

libertydoddle · 25/12/2016 12:40

Gifts sound amazing amber.

Having a lovely day here. DD very happy with all her toys, DH also pleased with his gifts and smelling rather wonderful in his new Tom Ford cologne. I am very pleased with a yellow bag and marine blue cashmere scarf (both Boden).

And as a surprise present DH bought me a sewing machine which I am thrilled about!!! I keep talking about buying one but always put it off as I think I won't use it enough to justify etc. But I hand sewed a last minute Christmas top for DD a couple of weeks ago and he decided after watching me thoroughly enjoy myself doing it that it's a hobby I would really enjoy so he did a little research and bought one Smile. He's now cooking Xmas lunch which is duck with all the trimmings - yum.

Dreamqueen · 25/12/2016 16:13

Merry Christmas Voguettes.

will keep this short & sweet as I've had far too much champagne & gin to make much sense.

Finding this thread & meeting so many of you has enriched my life & style sense. I'm stopping now before i gush some more random musings.
