Well, summer barely happened so we're ready to pack away the shorts and the kaftans and get excited about boots, cosy knits and anything new and shiny.
We're often scared to link what we're lusting after for fear of lurkers buying it before we have the chance. So if you're a lurker, come and join us.

Those links and your comments are hilariousQueenC Grin

Thanks for the bag love and the reminder to spray it!!

Glad to hear your insurance claim is sorted out Serenite

Hope you're feeling better Viva.

FedupNagging · 08/10/2017 13:21

Great links today Queen Hmm Apparently the sock and shoe look is a 'covetable combo'

Serenite my Mango order has still not arrived - after I've posted here I'm going to chase up. I ordered the black leather jacket - it will go with everything. Am pleased about the bag result - look forward to seeing what you replace it with.

Blingy your new bag is divine. I think I missed the promotion news so congratulations.

Viva hope you're feeling a bit better today.

I had a look in TK yesterday for some yoga gear - all brands I've not heard of but they look ok - Top - the only picture I can find.

If I up my workout sessions, I'll invest in better quality but if past experience is anything to by, I'll just be sticking with what I've got Grin

I'm loving my ootd today - very simple but looks nice - woolovers cotton & cashmere crewneck in blueberry, BR 7/8 crops in black and block heels - thanks again to the lovely Stokey for the link

BerniceBobsHerHair · 08/10/2017 17:51

Fedup I have finally ordered the shoes but in red

I think it may have been Everyone who linked them?

Love your new bag Blingy

Serenite I am no bag expert but thought this Aspinal one may fit the bill, but now I've linked it I see it is not quilted.

QueenC some of those links are out there, I love the coat for Amber and the dress though.

Serenite · 08/10/2017 20:10

I laughed at those links too queenc, some of them bring the story of the Emperor's New Clothes to mind. I did love the faux fur though, stunning!!

Fedup that's so irritating - definitely chase it and black is such a good colour to have in the wardrobe. I like Mango for leather jackets, I'm sure you'll love it when you receive it. I live the sound of your ootf, nice jewel colours are stunning this time of year. I've looked in Tk's for gym things and they have loads - I get overwhelmed in shops a lot (if too much choice, am indecisive) so I've not bought, but might give it another go. They are great for bargains, I bought some gold shoes in there last year for £20 and I prefer them over a lot of designer ones I own. They have a loyalty card now I've read but you have to go to the shop to pick one up, then register online - I guess I'll have to face the shops as I'd like one!

Viva I hope you are feeling a lot better now.

Thanks Bernice for linking that bag, it's lovely. I've never bought from that brand though I think there is a shop opened near me. Thing is, I lost a Chanel, so I want to replace it with Chanel. You'd think I'd be over the moon to be on the look out for a new Chanel but I just want the one that was stolen back - or very similar, it was a great bag. However I'm sure I'll get into looking, nothing like a new bag 😉 As I mentioned before I don't really love the current collection and most of the classic bags either aren't the right size or not cross body. I might look at preowned, it's a risk though - not for authenticity as I'd only buy from a reputable place, but that you don't try it on if buying online. Strange that as I buy nearly everything online but for bags I like to touch them/try them on first. First world problems I know 🙄 Am taking my child to a photographer tomorrow, hopefully to get some lovely family photos - I'm on my third glycolic mask of the day now, where's the glow 🤣

Longislandicetee · 08/10/2017 20:37

Aspinal is a good brand, I have a few bags from there.

Loved my OOTD. This Oasis sheer knit lace top with Gapkid jeans (dont know why i am obsessed with them at the moment!) and RB ballet flats. Watch was Thomas Sabo wrap around watch and my ring is a copy of the Duchess of Cambridge's ring.

DryWhiteagainW · 08/10/2017 22:56

Oh Bernice you reminded me, I'm looking for a big discount code for Very Exclusive if anyone sees one.

Picked up my Hobbs patent loafers ...its love.

Serenite · 09/10/2017 00:41

That's strange Dry I was just looking at something on VE this week!!
I'd never heard of the company but I googled the item I wanted and it came up. I phoned them (wouldn't recommend it unless you are a very patient lady 😉) and they said I could use the 20% new customer discount which is around for 'Very'. So I was pleased about that until I went to do it - you can only use it if you open an account with them, I'd wanted just to buy the item. It's probably a nonsense but I'm slightly reluctant to do that, though my husband says they are a reputable company so no real reason why, it just seems more of a hassle for some reason. Anyway, as it turned out, the size I needed is out of stock now. I'm going to keep an eye on it as I've ordered it full price elsewhere - to see if it's big/small fitting but if it comes back in to VE I'll return and get it discounted. Are you going to share what you are after? It's a dress I'm looking at but don't want to put on here - it's been like gold dust to source it (😱) Am going to pick up the one I've ordered tomorrow so I'll see then. Hope that code works, if you've trouble finding it let me know. Glad you love the shoes, they are beautiful, you've got lovely taste.
Loved that oasis top Blingy and I LOVE reading about your jewellery, always have 💕 I am going to have a peep at Gapkids jeans but I think I'm well and truly in woman's sizing!!!!

Everyonelovessparkles · 09/10/2017 09:29

Great links queenc. I can’t believe vetements think they can charge nearly £3k for that bag Shock . Though I bet some people buy it...

Great news on the insurance money serenite. It seems like you have an idea of what you want so just keep a look out.

I think it was me that linked the JL shoes fedup Smile . Glad you like them!

Hope your new belt comes soon kitty.

Have you seen the preen collection for LK Bennett? there seems to be some quite nice stuff. I like this dress

Have a good week everyone!

shopafrolic · 09/10/2017 17:06

If anyone is interested in a good preloved Whistles biker jacket then a size 10 one has just been posted for £85 on the #Trinnytribe clothes swap page on Facebook.

FedupNagging · 09/10/2017 20:54

Yes, I remember now it was you Everyone who linked the shoes - love them and they were on my feet again today.

The Mango order arrived today (finally)
Leather biker jacket - love it and
Black jumper - you can't really tell from the picture but it has batwing sleeves. Keeping both.

Hope you love the shoes as much as I do Bernice

Blingy nice oasis top

I can't remember if I mentioned a wardrobe clear out the other weekend - I got rid of a lot of clothes and shoes all basically 'you never know when I might wear it again' items. I feel strangely cleansed Grin

FedupNagging · 09/10/2017 20:55

Very pretty LKB dress Everyone

Longislandicetee · 09/10/2017 20:56

It's been a Chloé day. I used my new bag and wore the block heels with a navy Karen Millen knitted dress. Lots of compliments even from blokes. The bag has the lush factor.Grin

Longislandicetee · 09/10/2017 20:57

Those Chloé dupes look great. Are they comfy?

Longislandicetee · 10/10/2017 15:48

Where is everyone??!!Shock

Serenite · 10/10/2017 17:08

Hi, I'm here 😉
I bet your new bag hit highly admired Blingy, it's absolutely beautiful. The colour will stand out so well against so many colours of clothes and the navy dress with it sounds lush indeed.
Fedup I'm glad your leather jacket arrived and you love it, I've the same in a colour. I love the jumper too, I think batwing style is so flattering and easy to wear. I used to buy a lot of the phase eight Becca (I think they're called) jumpers, they are fine knit, slightly oversized and batwing - and I love them. They are all a bit big now....I'm envious of you sorting and getting rid of your old clothes - I've not made much progress on doing that and I have to. I've 3/4 of a big wardrobe full of clothes to go. It's just getting on with it.

I'm away now to collect the newbie I mentioned the other day when I was replying to Dry - an dying to see it and see if it's as beautiful as it looks online.

Everyone I love the Preen collaboration collection from Lk, a little bit different and I bet they'll fit beautifully.
Looking forward to hearing from you all checking in

queencerulean · 10/10/2017 17:57

I’m here blingy but struggling too much with the busy-ness of life at the moment to be sociable. I so need half term to step off the crazy wheel. The dc don’t do a huge amount of activities each but as there’s 3 of them it feels like something all the time. I’m reluctant to stop anything but equally I’m not sure I can continue constantly rushing here there and everywhere.

Doing what I always do in times of stress and reaching for food and credit card. Not good.

I am lurking but will post when I’m in a better frame of mind. Love to you all.

libertyonhertravels · 10/10/2017 19:23

Hugs for you queenc. I have been running around a lot catching up with people so not on line much. Need to catch up.

Serenite great news on the insurance payout. Enjoy the replacement hunt.

Am off out for dinner...will try and do my promised capsule round up before the weekend.

Everyonelovessparkles · 10/10/2017 19:44

Have a nice time lib. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself.

queenc sorry to hear things are a bit crazy with you. Hope things calm down soon. Flowers

Your outfit the other day sounded great blingy.

I’ve had a bit of a bad run of purchases recently. I ordered this watermelon print dress because I loved the print, but forgot that I am pasty and a bit dumpy rather than a tanned glamazonian, so it looked ridiculous on me grin. I also ordered this top as I thought it might be useful. I deliberated over it for ages, I liked the top, but it just didn’t seem quite right in me but I couldn’t figure out why not. In the end I figured if I didn’t love it it was best to send back. I also ordered a coat from warehouse that was thicker than my duvet and had a lions mane around the hood, so that went back. And I ordered the KG slouch boots but wasn’t keen on them either. I think this run of bad luck is a sign telling me to stop spending. Grin

MarshaBrady · 11/10/2017 10:45

Hello!

I'm here. I have a day off purely for deliveries, it's ace. Cracking through the list of the house - today the super king size bed rocks up and the superior Hungarian goose down duvet, soft as a cloud Wink and all the sheets

Huge garden delivery including a big David Austen roses order - went a bit mad

Still to come, beautiful big sofa and a desk I've always wanted. Need to keep track

Still loads to do - the big stuff decorating and architect, but getting there

Ok going to catch up now

MarshaBrady · 11/10/2017 10:51

Blingy I love that bag

Everyone interesting on the Preen x LKB, I wouldn't have thought they were a natural fit so going to check it out, love your Moschino order

Fedup great news on the Mango order, looks fab

Serenite great news on the insurance

QueenC big hug

Everyonelovessparkles · 11/10/2017 11:07

Glad the house stuff is starting to come together marsha, you have been busy!

I saw that bicester has had some renovations and a lot of new shops are opening - see by Chloe, Roksanda, Charlotte Olympia, Charlotte tilbury and the very high fashion ‘the north face’ to name a few!

FedupNagging · 11/10/2017 11:30

I love the watermelon dress Everyone, what a shame it doesn't look right. It's really disappointing when you want to buy clothes but can't actually find anything quite right.

Marsha, loving the sound of your house purchases especially the super cosy duvet, perfect for this chilly weather.

Queen only 2 weeks to half term - hope you have factored in at least 1 duvet day to do nothing.

One how are you doing? Hope you're feeling better.

When is your interview Shop?

The Anya Hindmarch crisp packet bags are on The Outnet - love the silver one but out of my price range sadly
