Aww Dream wait until new year that's when we all gush. Love this thread a lot too, a lot of fun and friendship.
So, another u turn ...,I'm going to return the Jigsaw olive leather a line skirt. Although I love it o think it's going to be to hard to style. Not really working which is sad but sensible.

Feel v full.

Amber I don't know how you do it!

Merry Christmas Voguettes! Hope you have all had lovely days! It's been a mixture of fantastic and family dramas - so the usual fare.

I have had some fantastic presents, though so far only from dh, sil and pils. Pils got me a beautiful oval shaped diamond necklace, sil got me a bag of goodies including a stunning Ted Baker dress and a Kate spade bangle that I love love love. Dh....well....he got me my usual bits and bobs - it's our thing. My main present has been locked in the safe since we got here and all the secrecy became clear when I unwrapped this necklace which matches the ring he got me 3 years ago. My face is still like this-->Xmas Shock

Oh wow Blingy. That is stunning! Love how you all do Christmas in style.

shopafrolic · 25/12/2016 20:09

Wow Blingy. Just. Wow.

shopafrolic · 25/12/2016 20:37

Dream save the gushing till NYE. That's when it gets super cheesy on here Xmas Grin I'm usually the worst

Everyonelovessparkles · 25/12/2016 22:24

Oh blingy that necklace is absolutely gorgeous. You lucky thing! Hope you are having a nice holiday and aren't feeling in too much pain.

Glad you had a nice time in Milan amber.

shop Hope you're DH is a bit better. What a tough year you've had. Flowers Wine

Glad the 10 in the gold skirt fitted blair, were you pleased with how it looked with the navy star jumper?

Sorry to miss lib and marsha on Wednesday. Glad you had a nice catch up. Loved the DVF dress you linked marsha.

Hope everyone has had a nice Christmas. Ours was really nice. DD has been so excited and I think it lived up to her expectations. Just ended on a sour note with DS puking everywhere. Hopefully it's just too many sweets rather than a virus as we are heading north tomorrow for a wedding.....

Drywhitethanks · 25/12/2016 22:48

WOW Blingy fantastic.......love your DH.

George Michael gone now. I was a massive fan. I remember tarting up denim jackets with bleach and pearls. So so sad.....

queencerulean · 26/12/2016 08:46

Wowsers blingy. You need to put some sort of homing device on it so that you never lose it!!, absolutely gorgeous.

I got the coach bag that I'd been lusting after in London. I hadn't wanted it at full price as it's more that I'd normally spend and was waiting to see if it went on sale but dh realised my panic when it kept selling out so bought it!

I've ordered a couple of pairs of boots in the sale (will link when they arrive). Grey biker style but they may be a bit too chunky or too taupe. I wear my black ones loads but only like them with black rather than blue jeans. Love my grey suede boots but they mark even in the lightest of rain showers.

queencerulean · 26/12/2016 08:47

coach bag

Longislandicetee · 26/12/2016 09:17

Afternoon all! Thanks for the necklace love. QueenC I suspect dh will become as annoying about it as he is about my engagement ring.Grin. Still have nooooo idea why he spent that much but he said I deserved it so who am I to argue?!

Shop, I posted on a GM thread that I can genuinely say that he is one of the very very few celebrities who has touched my life whether it was in joy, in pain or in inspiration.

FedupNagging · 26/12/2016 09:39

Very sad to hear about GM, 53 is no age. I loved his music.

Stunning necklace Blingy - have you worn it yet?

Hope you all had a good day yesterday. Ds2 has had a sick bug for the last 2 days so missed the main meal - he was gutted! hope you ds is better today Everyone.

Nice bag Queen, good move by dh.

We have a quiet day here today so I'll be browsing the sales online, eating chocolate and watching some Christmas TV.

shopafrolic · 26/12/2016 10:27

Off to see my DPs today and all the family - taking the ILs with us. This may not end well. Wish me luck.

Sending you luck and soothing vibes shop....

Slightly stressful morning here. Our flight to Ireland was cancelled. Got the text about 15 mins before the taxi arrived. Have thankfully managed to get another flight so just ordering brunch now at airport. Need to praise aer lingus. Cancellation was annoying but rebooking was handled well and we have been given food vouchers etc.

shopafrolic · 26/12/2016 14:49

So glad you got it sorted Lib - have a wonderful time xx

Drywhitethanks · 26/12/2016 16:02

Having a little lie down after a big Boxing Day lunch........food is taken v seriously in my family spectacular cheese boards, those who know me know I love my cheese before our big Dinner in approx 4hrs Xmas Shock

Can't even think about GM. I copied Pepsi and Shirley's outfits from the Wham Rap ? video.......white pencil skirt, white stilettos, K Hamnet logo t shirt, thought I was so cool with my perm. It's sad.

now on to packing and sorting again. my move is imminent now!

AmberNectarine · 26/12/2016 23:33

Totally ripped off QueenC and ordered this in the sales. I just love it!

AmberNectarine · 26/12/2016 23:34

Ah, one, I may be in the same boat too. Dreading the actual aggro of the move.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 27/12/2016 02:16

i'm both scared and excited amber it seems time has been moving so so slowly for ages and now it's just seemingly skipped a few months and now it;s only a matter of weeks until my move! just hope we get everything sorted in time for it as we've got the flat to be renting out as well so have to get that into shape to be ready for new people

Longislandicetee · 27/12/2016 09:03

love mcqueen bracelets one! I remember being excited 3 years ago about moving! The days of the move itself are best forgotten!!

I haven't worn either of my new necklaces yet. I wore my Kate spade bangle again last night. Today I am at the beach wearing blue polka dot bikini with Accessorize necklace and hapaenema bracelet that Lib gave me.

Wishing you lovely days!

queencerulean · 27/12/2016 12:54

Glad you got the bag amber. I was a bit peeved when I saw the price but I've already used it a few times so can't really be upset!

I need to go shopping today-I've ran out of washing up Liquid! Then it's to friends for fizz and nibbles. My liver needs a break!

Dreamqueen · 27/12/2016 18:27

My liver is pickling nicely. Can't type anything more sensible until tomorrow which will be a dry day. Happy holidays !

MarshaBrady · 27/12/2016 18:57

Me too Dream. I've stopped on the Christmas food tg can't take much more indulgence (just turkey left!) but enjoying some champers.

Blingy that is so pretty, what a gift.

shopafrolic · 27/12/2016 19:37
