Nothing from Saint Laurent that I'd want Hmm

So I'll go for the classic thing I've wanted, Céline box and I'll take the Marant jumper in the pic too

Shop nice to go for longer, we are too, makes a difference

Lib I hope you're feeling better. Soon this will all be a distant memory for you and you'll be enjoying your amazing new life and travels. :)

Dry and QueenC hope the Gin Wine helped and you feel better today too.

I don't know what I would buy with £10k... what is wrong with me?! Probably a ring and a bag though.

I am off to Henley Regatta tomorrow (with work) and will be wearing this Finery dress but not sure what shoes and bag yet. The weather looks dry but a bit gloomy and cold so I probably won't bother with a hat.

My Ralph Lauren order arrived and it's love, I haven't had as much success with online shopping in ages. I am tempted to go back for more! Everything is lovely fabric, fits well and is very me. The only thing is some items have been further reduced now, so fingers crossed a phone call will sort that out!

And I also ordered this jumper from the dressing room because the colour is just so divine and I don't own anything purple.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 28/06/2017 11:24

Stokey forgot to say have you heard back? Fingers crossed for you! :)

libertydoddle · 28/06/2017 12:01

Jumper link not working for me Blair - good work on the RL order - I must check it out. DH is a big RL fan - he gets lots from TK Maxx.

OK - MU has been booked. I'll pm details to all. I have booked a table for 10 - Shop, Kitty, QueenC, Dry, Justa, Bernice, Marsha, Blingy and Fedup (and me!). Let me know if I have missed anyone or if any changes.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 28/06/2017 12:23

That's odd, not sure why it doesn't work, trying again here

Stokey · 28/06/2017 12:30

Thanks Blair. I've had an email saying they've had to defer some interviews so won't hear til the end of next week ...

I love that Finery dress. At least it looks like the rain will hold off. I can't get your jumper link to work either.

Sorry to be missing the MU, sounds like a lovely group. Hope you get your exchange date sorted Lib, it must be stressful not knowing.

& good luck with your hunt Marsha.

Hope you're feeling a bit better QueenC, the first weeks of pregnancy feeling sounds hellish. Still hopefully it'll be short term pain for long term gain.

Back in dungarees today - is that it, summer??

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 28/06/2017 12:52

Ok here is a Pinterest link! The colour is so beautiful I must show you all Grin

End of next week, nooo that's ages. Glad it went well though.

Stokey · 28/06/2017 12:56

I'm just looking through some sale shopping - apologies for stream of consciousness post

I love these Isabel Marant Etoile python flats

When did Boden start charging £200+ for a dress?

This LK Bennett skirt would suit Marsha but I'd team with flats.

I like these 7FAM boyfriend jeans - sadly they're out in my size.

I love this KG swimsuit but worry that my (still baby fat tummy despite my youngest being 5) would be just where the cut out is.

Said 5 year old has a swimsuit that I love in this style. But she has no hips or boobs. Wonder if it'll work on curves?

kittyhello · 28/06/2017 19:58

Lib Flowers hope the yoga helped a little to relieve the stress

Dry Flowers hope all is good now

Queen Flowers love the grey/silver Chanel swoon

Marsha good luck with the move

As I've hardly, bought anything this year I've decided to splash out on a Mulberry Bayswater not this colour though! It's love, it arrived today and it's just made me smile. It's definitely a keeper.

Everyonelovessparkles · 28/06/2017 20:11

Glad the RL order was good blair. Nice jumper too. Have a good time at Henley, hope it stays dry.

What a lovely treat purchase kitty. Nice Denim skirt too.

Hope you're feeling a bit better lib and have had some house news or at least know when there might be news.

I impulse purchased this navy sundress and this flowered dress. Am collecting from Waitrose tomorrow.

I binge watched the rest of riviera today. I won't mention any spoilers. Clothes and settings still good viewing but the plot is a bit Hmm

kittyhello · 28/06/2017 20:36

Love your dresses Every the flowered one reminds me of this top Holly W was wearing. She wore it with black trousers and it looked fab Finery ruffle shirt

Holly W

I too am watching Riviera but have lost the plot - literally! Am now only watching for location and clothes. I loved the green dress she wore in episode 2 or 3.

DryWhiteagainW · 28/06/2017 21:20

Back to normal .....

But......

Living with teenagers.......

I've been sucked into Love Island Shock

Woke up at stupid o'clock today & as I couldn't get back to sleep thought I'd have a catch up.

Lib, Queen & Dry Flowers

Loving the links - I'll have this vintage Chanel please, which leaves a lot of change for more shoes and bags!

Kitty love your new bag, it's such a classic.

Blair enjoy Henley today; love the colour of your jumper.

I managed to get my hands on the Hush dress I was after - big disappointment - the armholes are huge, it's just not flattering. I thought about getting the dress altered but at £60 it's not worth it. Wondering whether to size down as the dress was very roomy.

On the other side of the coin, I accidentally ordered a dress a size too big from M&S which turned out to be a snug fit Hmm as well as see through. Back it went!

libertydoddle · 29/06/2017 09:31

Nice treat kitty. Will you bring it to the MU?

Fedup I wouldn't bother trying to alter the Hush dress. Maybe size down? M&S sizing and cuts are not working on me at all ATM. Have ordered several things recently and they have all gone back.

Jumper is gorgeous Blair.

Yoga and some personal trainer sessions are definitely helping with the stress along with AD's and wine Grin

shopafrolic · 29/06/2017 10:05

Morning all. Loving all the links. Shame about all the returns Fedup - sizing seems to be all over the place nowadays.
Stokey I love the Stories swimsuit - really nice.
Kitty lovely Bayswater - a classic - I had one years ago that I bought for under £500. it was really heavy and eventually I stopped using it. Sold it on EBAY a couple of years ago for about £150 more than I paid for it :) Definitely an investment bag.
QueenC I'll have this bag please

queencerulean · 29/06/2017 14:18

Ooh very you shop

Normal service has resumed here as I've started popping ADs daily again. Too much going on at the moment to go through withdrawals. So looking forward to next Saturday!!

Everyonelovessparkles · 29/06/2017 14:28

Glad lib, queenc and dry are all feeling better.

My whistles order is going back. There was something about the flowered dress that didn't fit right and the navy linen one was lovely from the front but a bit gappy at the back and side. I did contemplate keeping it and getting it altered but not at £110. I might keep my eye on it and if it reduces more then I may repurchase and get it altered.

Really sorry to be missing the MU next week. I could do with a good prosecco session!

Anyone got a free delivery code for boden? There's a couple of things for DD I would like but don't want to pay the delivery. Couldn't find any on the promo thread either. Flowers

shopafrolic · 29/06/2017 17:39

Sorry Everyone not sure they do codes during sale?
QueenC sounds like the best decision for now.
So my question is....... where can I find a bag of the same quality, size / shape as the Gucci disco, in a similar price point but with silver hardware. Anyone seen anything fab recently?

AmberNectarine · 29/06/2017 19:16

Evening all

Lovely bag kitty - I have a navy cracked metallic bays which DH got me when I had DS. I didn't use it for ages but I've into the habit of using it a bit more again.

Not much to report style wise - I bought two pairs of Levi's 711s - white and mid blue - which I'm finding great. I also bought a few fun summer bits from ASOS, which have livened up my wardrobe - a Pom Pom maxi dress, a yellow t-shirt dress and a leopard print long kimono for a festival we're going to. I also got a crazy tropical print culottes jumpsuit from Zara which DH HATES but I love to bits 😄

Otherwise slim pickings really!

queencerulean · 29/06/2017 19:47

shop there was a Marc Jacob's one I linked recently that looked like the disco.

I'm meant to be going out tonight. I'm currently wrapped in a towel on mumsnet. It's a school thing-will probably be fun once I get there but just not sure I've got the energy.

shopafrolic · 29/06/2017 20:25

Can't find the link QueenC?

shopafrolic · 29/06/2017 20:27

Amber are you a jewel winter? And you do yellow? I used to love yellow but have avoided since getting my colours done. Any tips?

libertydoddle · 30/06/2017 09:36

Didn't amber have a neon yellow Zarita dress? Looked amazing on her. A really bright yellow would look great on you shop.

In a dress down office today. Wearing Boden cropped jeans, See by Chloe brown cotton/linen mix shirt, R&B flat sandals, coral Jaeger tote bag. Sunnies to hide the hungover eyes!

Oh and the SE Trina sandals arrived yesterday. They are lovely but not enough foot coverage for me so going to return them.

Everyonelovessparkles · 30/06/2017 09:53

shop here's the bag link it was a Marc jacobs on my Theresa.

Everyonelovessparkles · 30/06/2017 10:01

Shame about the SE sandals lib but if they're not right then you won't wear them so best to return. I think you and I must return 75% off what we order, glad it's not just me Grin. I think I am getting more particular, in the past I would just keep something if it was ok whereas now unless it's perfect and I love it, I won't keep it.

Isn't it blair who has the yellow zarita??

I like the idea of yellow in summer but think I'm too pink for it look good.

Off out today with mum's from nursery. Just somewhere local, so is pretty casual. Not sure what to wear yet as it's not overly warm or summery today.....

Ordered this dvf dress yesterday as there was free delivery Smile. Ordered a UK 12 so will see how it looks.

Happy Friday voguettes!
