Love the yellow

Big wave to Dry.

Need to re- immerse. Will read forthwith!

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2017 20:34

Fedup great bag and dress, you are experiencing wardrobe creep ; Will you get a silver bag do you think?

Bling pleased you had such a lovely time away

Amber fab shoes

Dry have a great time in London

Mara great to see you back! Sounds like a gorgeous holiday. Incredible shopping, really love the Saloni in particular. And love your dh's gift.

Lib big hug, hope you're ok. So tough, but it will be amazing.

Everyone great yellow top, couldn't see the lace dress

Dream something from Liberty? Everyone loves a gift in a Liberty box don't they

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2017 20:38

I'm finding it really hard to find a new bikini, needs to be a certain style of bikini bottom (not quite boy short but nearly) and triangle top. Why so hard! I don't won't frills and fluff just plain.

And I fear I'm leaving it too late as we fly on Friday!

libertydoddle · 18/07/2017 22:01

amber get the fuchsia Gucci, it's gorgeous and so you.

Thanks for the hugs - I spent an hour writing lists and feel in control again. And a lovely, lovely friend has offered to organise my work going away night so that sorts out a big issue.

Dream a naice candle is always good in these situations I think or a bottle of good gin.

justasecond · 18/07/2017 22:44

Hi everyone
Lib sounds like a stressful time Flowers it will pass and will all be worth it xx
Great to have you back Mara really love that dress and although I couldn't see your bag on the link it sounds gorgeous
marsha eek, hope you find something soon.
queenc love your bag links for amber my vote is for a gucci marmont marmont this dionysus is a bit crazy but I love it dionysus

I am really struggling with shopping for holiday clothes, going somewhere v v hot and I have very little that is suitable. Ordered these trousers in various colours but not sure they are very flattering dd said they made me look like I have massive hips!zara cotton trousers need to try them on in daylight.

I have quite a few summer shirts/tops but most of them need a vest or something underneath. I need more one layer tops!

Went shopping at the weekend and bought this joseph jumper I think it looks better on
and these jeans paige hoxton I don't wear skinnies very much now but these are more of a slim crop unrolled on me.

DryWhiteagainW · 18/07/2017 22:58

Big hugs to Marsha now WHERE IS Shop?

Should have brought a dress to London.....its fabulously hot.

Great day today....even better tomorrow.

May sneak some shopping in if I get some time on my own..........

Hugs Lib, glad you're feeling better.Flowers

Amber, I have the ps11. I can see that suiting you!

Love the bag links QueenC and Mara, love your new bag and your chilled vibe.

Dry, too funny! GrinThankfully no burglary and rings back on fingers!!

Looking at the bag links has made me swoon over this Alaïa laser cut tote❤️

Dreamqueen · 19/07/2017 06:40

Marsha & Lib good ideas thank you.

Love the bags QueenC

Marsha My sister bought some bikinis from Seafolly when she was here. Same requirements, triangle top and non skimpy bottoms but had to order from both Figleaves and Surfdome to find her sizes. probably too late for Friday though.

Glad you're having a great time Dry Have you been to Balenciaga yet?

Everyonelovessparkles · 19/07/2017 07:31

marsha I was going to say seafolly too, they do have them in John Lewis if you have a Waitrose near you for next day delivery. There is also this website www.swimwear365.com they have next day delivery. There's this top in boden which isn't too patterned and they have these bottoms but maybe a bit too bright?? I got a bandeau bikini from
Boden this year and was pleased with it. I also got a cheap one from next in the sale last year which was good and try deliver next day. ASOS do next day delivery as well. Good luck! I hate swimwear shopping.

Gorgeous bag links queenc. The magenta marmont is gorgeous.

lib I really feel for you. This must be such a stressful and emotional time. Having no firm dates for anything just adds to all the stress. FlowersWine

Glad you are having a nice time dry.

Had a lovely afternoon tea at the langham yesterday. I love afternoon tea! Loads of thunder and lightning here last night so everything feels a bit fresher today.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 19/07/2017 12:42

That sounds lovely Everyone - you've reminded me I have a voucher for champagne afternoon tea at the Ritz. It was a joint Xmas present but now DH can't eat bread etc so I will probably get to take my sisters. Need to get that booked in! Can't remember if I said, but my sister got engaged, I'm very excited.

Fingers crossed you find the perfect bikini Marsha.

justa I got a few cotton/linen bits, including trousers, in H&M, worth a look?

Lib love a good list/spreadsheet, really helps. Make sure you squeeze in some downtime from thinking about it all, if you can :)

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2017 19:05

Thanks for bikini tips.

I do really like that Everyone, thinking asos may be best bet for delivery. The Langham sound brilliant

Blair thank goodness you remembered, The Ritz sounds lovely too

Justa fab shopping, really like the Joseph and I bet it does look much better on you than how they've styled it in the pic

Hunting on asos now. Realising I am so picky. The triangle top must tie behind the neck not have a bra shape and have a good shape triangle and the bottoms must be midi shape. And that's after you have to scroll past all the cut outs and frills

Everyonelovessparkles · 20/07/2017 11:01

Yes there are lots of complicated swimwear styles now. Surely most people just want a simple one?? Hope you find something marsha .

I saw this when I was browsing matches one for the cat lovers amber?? Grin I see that many of the D&G pasta print outfits are in the sale. Funny that...

Raining here now and very grey. For some reason I feel quite autumnal even though we still have about 6 weeks of summer left. I think I'm going to go to Bicester next week. Now that the sales are winding down and new stock is coming in, I figured Bicester might be getting new stock in. I'm on the look out for a dress for my birthday. It's a big birthday but not sure what to do. I'm not having a big party but expect will have something. I have seen these dresses on the outnet but thought I'd see where they had in store at Bicester black and white , navy lace and wavy. The lace feels the most special but not sure how much wear it will get.

Everyonelovessparkles · 20/07/2017 11:03

Ps shop the DVF dress you returned is in the clearance for £80 in case you were interested at that price.

libertydoddle · 20/07/2017 11:20

YOU HAVE ALL FORGOTTEN!!!!!

It's my birthday. Happy Birthday to me, I've just been to the gym (polishes halo).

Guess I'll just have to organise my own Wine and Cake bastards Grin

Everyonelovessparkles · 20/07/2017 12:36

LIB happy birthday. in fairness I didn't know. Hope you have a wonderful day filled with Flowers Cake 🎁 and 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

MarshaBrady · 20/07/2017 13:01

Happy birthday Lib have a wonderful day! Cake [fizz]

How have I not realised your birthday is one day before mine??!

Do you have the day off work? Hope so!

Dreamqueen · 20/07/2017 13:28

Happy birthday Lib Sorry Blush I didn't know. Hope you have a lovely day.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 20/07/2017 14:16

Happy birthday lovely lib i hope you have a fab day WineFlowersCakeStar😙😙

libertydoddle · 20/07/2017 14:18

Thanks Blush. My drama queenness has been suitably mollified!

I know Marsha - I think I only realised last year. Only doing a couple of hours work today.

Everyone TBH none of those DVF dresses is wowing me - will be good to see if Bicester has a good selection. What would you like so we can all go hunting for you?

I went into Comptoir yesterday and got these chinos. They are 'black olive' colour which is a fantastic really dark green (Blair your sister might like them). Great fit and so comfortable.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/07/2017 15:00

Happy Birthday Lib Cake Flowers Wine! So many Voguette birthdays this month.

Marsha any luck on the bikini front? I would have thought Asos would have a good mix and match range.

Lib I'll pass on the chinos link, they look lovely.

It's a colleague's 30th today so we have just been for a long lunch. I am stuffed!
