Join us to talk all things fashion and beauty. The clocks go forward next Sunday (who's bright idea was it to organise that on Mother's Day?!). Longer days and hopefully some sunshine - we're dying to get our ankles out.
All welcome :)

That's amazing shop!! Want a photo please.

I've been doing a massive try on session. My hips are huge and can't even fit into some of my jeans so I have some old ones to charity shop. I'm still left with 13 though!! Also getting rid of a few other bits which feels good.

kittyhello · 15/05/2017 13:48

Well done Shop sadly I don't have an office near me

Amber good luck with the move today and please rest up as much as you can Flowers

Blingy ootd yesterday sounded fab

Dream I've been looking for a tree shoe thingy for ages, I've pinned your one from Lakeland

Picked up sandals yesterday and they look good and not plasticky.

I really like those boots Bernice and given the current inclement weather you'll be wearing those boots a lot more than I'll be wearing my sandals.

shopafrolic · 15/05/2017 13:54

Dream order that shoe thing quick if you want it - it is Last Chance To Buy
Amber what everyone else said. Rest. Impossible I know. I hope the move goes well and you'll all be super happy in the new Towers.

Well done shop love a happy ending!!

I'm on the hunt for a replacement panama hat... they're not cheap :( but I do need it. Found this really nice one, might go for it.

We are meeting some dogs tonight through borrow my doggy after being on it a few months. Very excited as they are 2 little sausage dogs :)

shopafrolic · 15/05/2017 17:28

Are you thinking of getting a dog then Blair?

Amber really hope you coped today and the move went well. Flowers for your new home and for you - try to take it easy.

Blingy gorgeous dress and fierce watch - love both.

Great news on the boots Shop -a bargain too good to turn down too.

I love the personalised basket Everyone; am pretty sure someone on here bought one a couple of years ago - Linus maybe?

Waves to Marsha

Classic panama hat Blair - J Crew quite often have nice hats too
Panama with navy band - marginally cheaper!

Sounds like you're having a very therapeutic clearout Queen - more room for new goodies enables

I keep my nice/designer bags in dust jackets in a slide out drawer thingy under the bed. The others are piled in a basket in a cupboard. I now want a DVF clutch....

shopafrolic · 15/05/2017 19:18

So I've found the boots...... now can anyone find me the t-shirt?

OP posts:
queencerulean · 15/05/2017 20:25

shop I've sent you a text.
fedup clearing out has made me realise how much stuff I own. And I'm diligent at getting rid of things twice yearly. Its made me realise that I don't need anything more. I tried a dress on at the weekend that I was going to order but am going to be good.

justasecond · 15/05/2017 21:51

well done shop those boots are lovely as is the tshirt. No idea where it's from but I wonder whether it could be from a men's range as I have seen some a bit like that on asos men's. I take it Levis didn't get back to you?

Amber hope the move has gone well and you are ok. Sounds horrible Flowers

waves to marsha!

queenc sounds like a good clearout. I need someone to come and be ruthless with my wardrobe!

lib I have that dvf clutch too in a slightly different colour and have been really pleased with it but I see what you mean about the strap. I am sure there is a slightly larger size with a strap that it might be worth looking out for.

dream I like that shoe thingy, I'm desperately trying to think of places it will fit. I keep all my shoes in their boxes at the back of my wardrobes and under my bed and the dc's beds

I store my bags in their dust covers on the top shelf of my wardrobes which is hard to reach without a stool so I don't change my bags as often as I would like. I have been using this <a class="break-all" href="//oneuk.pinterest.com/pin/343329171567114152/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AH Tote since last October. It was a Bicester bargain too good to miss and it has been a really good buy as it goes with everything and is just the right size for everyday. Its a shame she has gone all weird with her novelty designs now, not my cup of tea at all.

bernice love those boots, think you could wear them now, they would be perfect for the weather.

blair glad you can finally wear your belt now. Funnily enough inspired by you I bought the £5 H&M copy one a while back and finally got round to getting extra holes punched in it yesterday!

justasecond · 15/05/2017 22:04

Doh! The tshirt is from Levis
www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/levi/p/295720000

looks like all sizes apart from small are available

AmberNectarine · 15/05/2017 23:09

I was about to say, it's quite easy to Find that tee!

Am in! Has been a fucking slog of a day, but we made it. Kids very happy with their new bedrooms and, after sulking for a few hours, the cat is exploring his new home. Enjoying the additional wardrobe space in our interim bedroom (we are converting the loft space). Slightly saddened by the fact I didn't label properly and now have eight boxes marked 'Amber shoes'. Better than DH though who labelled most boxes 'random stuff'. WHY?

Anyway, enough about me - normal service will resume shortly!

shopafrolic · 16/05/2017 09:55

All the best in the new pad Amber
Tee ordered - thanks all. When I searched on their website for red and blue striped tee it didn't come up so I left it. Am a bit concerned as it is 70% MMF but it was free delivery and returns so worth a try.

It's bedlam in there. On way to work looking like I'm interviewing for a job in 1993. Black suit, grey satin shirt and kitten heels. I can't find ANYTHING!

shopafrolic · 16/05/2017 14:16

REST WOMAN.

Wishing you a happy life in your new house Amber As Shop said why are you going to work when you're ill?

Hope the t shirt is a keeper Shop need to see pic of the boots now!.

Justa I really want the shoe thing but I've measured various spaces & am not sure that it'll work for me.Sad

Agree amber-you should be resting. Glad the move went ok though.
Have you worn them today shop?

I need new boots. I don't think I said on here but I had to return the Hudson boots as they got water marks on the front and looked awful. Luckily office took them back and refunded them for me but now I need new grey leather boots.

justa I'll come round and sort your wardrobe!

Is it raining with everyone? Grey and wet here.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/05/2017 15:30

God I'm knackered today. The dog lady took us on a walk for 3 hours up the river and back (Dry we walked PAST your neck of the woods and beyond...!), finishing at 10pm! But the doggies are very cute and we are going to their house at the weekend :)

Fedup that J crew hat is the one I used to have which got chewed up! Sad times. The recent reviews suggest the quality has dropped off a cliff, or I'd just order another.

justa I adore that AH bag, love the leather detailing. I know the belt you mean too, I saw it on the H&M website weeks ago on a dress and tried to find it on the site a couple of times but couldn't.

Glad you got through yesterday Amber, congrats on the new house.

The boots look fabulous shop!

shopafrolic · 16/05/2017 15:47

I haven't worn them yet QueenC - I have ordered some grosgrain ribbon to sort the zip pulls at the back and will then get them straight on (although torrential rain due here tomorrow).
I have spent the morning at my parent's house sorting out tax returns and going through over 5,000 emails that my Dad had accumulated. Brain. Dead.

AmberNectarine · 16/05/2017 15:48

I would have worked from home but no internet until Friday and I'm already so behind, I really can't afford to take time off.

blair assuming that's where dry is from originally, rather than where she is now, or that is an awful lot of miles, unless I'm misinformed? V jeal, btw, I am a dog lover but stupid DH is allergic.

NaP sent me a sale preview so I might have ordered this which has now gratifyingly sold out.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/05/2017 16:23

Yes hopefully Dry knows where I mean Grin I'm not a stalker who walked past her actual house haha!

Ooh cool clutch.

Everyonelovessparkles · 16/05/2017 16:32

Lovely bag amber. Glad you are all moved in, hope you aren't feeling too worn out.

You did well with the boots shop and at that price you don't need to feel guilty if you don't wear them all the time.

Well done queenc on refraining to buy the dress. You could always keep an eye out for it in the sale if you still like it in a few months?

Had to pop out to collect a next order for the DC and was just going to go in my lazy casual work from home outfit but gave myself a talking too and put on a decent top and redid my make up and I felt so much better. I bought this flamingo tshirt I thought £30 was a bit steep for a t'shirt but then thought it probably will get a lot of wear so gave in Grin Oasis was full of flamingo print, pricing what we all know, that amber is always ahead of the trends! Smile

Everyonelovessparkles · 16/05/2017 16:33

Proving not pricing - stupid phone.

Everyonelovessparkles · 16/05/2017 16:36

M&s are finally having a 20% off this week starting on thurs if anyone has their eye on anything. Annoyingly monsoon did one after I had bought the lace top and jeans. Just my luck. Hmm

Dreamqueen · 16/05/2017 18:10

Lovely boots Shop

Thanks for the M&S heads up Everyone I have my eye on a few holes bits & it the 20% off includes beauty, it could be spendy. Love the flamingo tee.

I've got a hair apointment on Thurs & don't know what to do with it. i quite like having it long enogh to tie up for the gym & housework. I think it's gotten slightly too long. But if I wanted a change what would you MNV experts suggest please?
