Online Blingy but not from Burberry website. I was about to pm you, but checked back first and they only have sizes 12 and 14 left :(

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 31/12/2016 16:53

X post kitty I'll pm you!

HappyGirlNow · 31/12/2016 16:53

Happy New Year to all when it comes! Grin

Longislandicetee · 31/12/2016 17:14

happy new year to you too Happy

Oh lucky you Blair! I think i have resigned myself to paying full price for it as I have wanted it for over a year now.

Feel very tired today. The plane journey has done me in and I am in pain too so have spent most of it lying down. The dcs have been...dcs. Over excited about the unopened presents under the Christmas tree and I just haven't had the energy to cope. Not my finest parenting day!

queencerulean · 31/12/2016 17:32

Oh don't beat yourself up blngy, we all have days like that.
Fab news on the coat blair

Just wanted to quickly send love to all as I may not get a chance to post later. Having a great time away but mil and bil are doing my head in! Mwah mwah 💕💕🍸🍹🎉🎉🎉

LinusLovesBretons · 31/12/2016 17:42

Well done one the coat blair!

I am wearing my Burberry trench today as it's pouring down and I still love it as much as when I bought it three years ago. It really is one of my best purchases ever.

blingy you need to look after yourself and it won't hurt the DC to spend the day watching tv and eating nothing but crisps. Wink

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2016 17:46

Well done Blair what a buy! I think I might want a Burberry trench one day too. Such a classic, think I'd have to go for navy. What colour did you get?

Blingy not surprising, take it as easy as you can

I'll be back later for my NYC love in post!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 31/12/2016 17:57

Thanks all. Marsha I got Honey, classic colour! I think I'll be the same Linus, will love it well into the future.

Blingy coming back from holiday is tiring even when you're well, you definitely deserve a rest day.

We have started on the cocktails, just made a couple of French 75s, tasty!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 31/12/2016 18:00

Also this is random, but I got DH an Amazon Echo Dot for Christmas and yesterday we got ourselves a late present of some Philips Hue smart light bulbs. Anyone else got these?! It's so fun, can just tell it to change colour or dim or even do a rotation of colours! Feels all futuristic Grin

Longislandicetee · 31/12/2016 18:05

thank you lovely Voguettes. Always the best when I am feeling rubbish.😙

I want the honey trench too.Xmas Envy It might be my first 2017 buy. Hope Kitty gets it.

LinusLovesBretons · 31/12/2016 19:23

My trench is navy with a hood so a bit more casual than the classic trench.

blair you would get on with DH as he installed Hue lightbulbs in our dining room ceiling lights in our previous house.

I hated it felt like I was living in a brothel or a nightclub but he loved it. Thank God the ceiling light doesn't work here so we put it into storage. Grin

The kids also loved playing with it!

He has also installed a kind of led strip light all along the top of our four poster bed which lights up in different kinds of white light. Hmm

LinusLovesBretons · 31/12/2016 19:39

Talking of Burberry made me have a look at their website and I saw this

I absolutely love it and would consider buying it if it wasn't for the massive Burberry logo on the back. WHY?! It just looks wrong!

MarshaBrady · 31/12/2016 19:46

What a pity! Massive advertising. Should have left it off

Karcheer · 31/12/2016 20:16

Crazy would've been so nice and cosy without the ad.

shopafrolic · 31/12/2016 20:25

Right ladies. I'm doing this early. This year has been absolutely lousy for me. Too much time spent in hospitals. Too many scary scenarios with DF and now DH. But what has been solid, consistent and truly fabulous are the friendships I've made on here. Thanks for being there, for being stylish, and for helping me put my armour one very day. Love you all. See you in 2017 Voguettes. MWAH.

libertydoddle · 31/12/2016 21:02

Such a shame about that branding.

I am curled up on the sofa in front of the log burner in my brothers house. Quiet night planned with DB, SIL and our parents. Hope all the lovely Voguettes have a great NYE whatever you are doing and looking forward to lots of stylish chat, friendship and hopefully some prosecco fueled MUs in 2017 Wink

Karcheer · 31/12/2016 21:19

Just ordered these

kittyhello · 31/12/2016 22:03

Happy new year Voguettes, here's to an even better 2017. xx

maradesbois · 31/12/2016 22:33

Hi Voguettes,

Popping in to wish you all health, happiness and success for a stylish 2017. At friends in wine country, frosty and misty but so atmospheric. Ootn is party classic of the season: Marant velvet dress with long Chanel necklace, opaques and gold sparkly choos.

Let's keep the thread and the friendships going strong, much love. Xx

Larastheme · 31/12/2016 22:43

Not 2017 here yet, wish you all a very stylish and happy new year.xx

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 31/12/2016 22:59

Happy new year Voguettes! Here's to a happy, healthy and stylish 2017, and yes to more fabulous meet ups. Soppy moment - sometimes I (personally) feel a bit odd being (as yet) childless on MN, but I'd never regret it as I love being on this thread so much. Everyone is just so lovely, and I credit you all with helping me feel more stylish over the last few years! Cheers!

Mara your outfit sounds perfect!

Wine xx

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 31/12/2016 23:29

Happy New Year my lovelies! Here's to fun, fizz and friendship which i know there is in abundance on this thread. I hope 2017 brings you all everything you hope for

shopafrolic · 01/01/2017 00:07

Happy New Year - I am the only one still awake here. DH went to bed ages ago. I think this is the first time I've managed to stay up for years! Fireworks are good........

libertydoddle · 01/01/2017 00:11
