I agree with you Shop! I am sure you're watching this MNHQ Poor ds, hope he recovers quickly. Which sparkly trousers?

I agree FedUp, those shoes are lovely!

Dry, sounds like you're going to have a great night, have fun!

We are at home tonight though ds has a party that i agreed to before i knew the time of the party..

I wondered why I couldn't see the boots, insane! Ones you've bought look great though Blingy

Thanks for the heads-up on the advent calendar Fedup - it had gone into my promos inbox so would never have seen it. I bought PJs for Dd2 & a velvet red pleated midi which will undoubtedly get sent back!

Like the sparkly leggings Dream. My pewter loafers aren't very comfy so I don't wear them much.

Good luck Dry, hope you make it.

I've got a house party to go to tonight & tickets for a club at which I don't know if we'll make. Got a babysitter booked til 2 - scary!

Not sure what to wear, pleather leggings or silver mini skirt. Both will be with silver flame boots & black velvet tee.

Hardcore Stokey! Have fun

Have fun Dry

Blingy it’s probably worth hunting down your favourites if you like them more than the others

I do think it’s bad to just let a pic disappear when out of stock - don’t they know —we— people link. Get with the programme

Now why didn’t that strikeout work - annoying

Dry oh no, hope you're on the road again! And have fun.

I didn't see the sold out boots either. Glad you ordered some though Blingy, good old R&B. I am wearing my shoe boots a lot as usual, hopefully you can get back to yours before the end of winter.

Out tonight too, wearing pink Equipment shirt and gold leather mini (so I think you should wear the silver one Stokey!) and black SW Highland rip offs with hoop earrings. I'm on the lookout for some decent gold hoops as these cost £2.50 - any ideas? Around about £100-£150.

QueenC so glad you got the bracelet you wanted. Hope you're doing ok

Have a lovely evening all :)

The M&S ones that Dream linked Blingy
I don't have much success with M&S - we'll see
Have fun Stokey my clubbing days well and truly ended when DS was born .
Love all the Saturday night outfits 💃🏻

Your outfit from last night sounded fab shop, hope you had a nice evening.

Sounds like a good night stokey! Enjoy!

blingy I know what you mean about m&s, their online stock control is dreadful, you can never get anything you want and it isn’t much better in store. I absolutely hate that Marble Arch store. If you like the red boots, maybe go for it at that price? Though I did see a rumour that the next 20% event is next Thursday....annoying about the r&b boots. Agree with marsha that it’s pretty bad to just let the picture disappear, don’t they plan on getting any more in stock???

Hi lib, hope you’re having a great time and the next location is a bit better.

Love the outfit blair, bet you look great.

Great news about the bracelet queenc, glad it all worked out.

Hope you weren’t delayed too much dry, how annoying. Have a great time and a large 🍷 when you get there.

The whistles black and gold dress came and I love it! I think when you get something you love, you just know and it reinforces those purchases that we have to think about probably aren’t right. No glamourous Saturday night plans for me. Watching LaLa land in my tracky...

So pleased you got your bracelet queenC. Hope you're bearing up ok cause

Meant to say, I agree QueenC, that's karma, fashion fate etc. So glad you got your bracelet.

So, I wore my black 3" stilettos for 12hrs yesterday. Walked a lot to get to the venue, danced a lot and then walked home.....guess how my feet feel today? worth it though

OTTD.....black leather skinnies, R and B black Chelsea boots, chunky long line camel sweater from Gap, animal print scarf, black Gucci Disco.....made an effort to visit DS at uni .....

Re shoes.....chatting to a man at party
"I really need to sit down my feet are killing"
"Why didn't you wear flats?"

is he not married???!!! Your ootd sounds lovely Dry

Mine is a travel outfit - gap kids blue jeggings, black me&em layering top and ysl cashmere breton. Bag is Balenciaga City. Loooong day ahead.

Just realised we haven't heard from Mara. Hope you're okay. X

Hi everyone, I've been catching up yesterday and this morning as I've been out of touch a while.
Love all the outfits suggested, the boots and that whistles dress is fab. Live that too from Wallis too, very easy to wear.
Loved those sparkly trousers from m&s, not something I'd ever look at but I might try them, will wait till Thursday to see if there is a discount code.
I got a red velvet pleated midi skirt from there this week - Stokey - probably the same one!!!!! I love it but I haven't a clue what to wear with it - and that for proportions I probably need some 'sock boots' to make it look current ......and haven't seen simple ones I like......or just return the skirt! What do you wear, if you wear midi skirts? It's an odd style to try as it's so loose around the waist (elasticated) and I usually need structure there as I can carry weight on my tummy but I think I like it. Can't wait to hear what you think of it!
Your ootd sounds gorgeous Dry, perfect for visiting your son and it sounded like you were looking gorgeous yesterday, heels for that length of time is no easy feat 🤣 I think it gets to the point where you know your feel will throb no matter what you change into so it's easier to keep going!! I love yours too Blingy, cosy, stylish and fab, are you travelling far?
Happy birthday to the birthday girls, I hope you all had a lovely day and you have a successful year to come.
Glad you are sounding so strong queenc - who ever wrote to you - get up, dress up and show up - I'm putting that on my fridge - no matter what's going on in our lives, there's up and down and that saying just really resonated with me, so thank you.
I'm still getting sorted for my upcoming wedding in couple of weeks - I now have a complete 2nd outfit as I worried the green massimo dutti dress wasn't 'weddingy' enough - or maybe the kind of style everyone would expect me to wear so I felt like shaking it up a bit - I absolutely love both of them, don't know which one to wear so no farther forward!
Hope things have settled down One next door and sounds like you are feeling and looking fantastic - any more instagram pictures?

Some fab outfits last night; mine was pj's accessorised with a glass of wine and walnut whips Having had a mad weekend last week and out 3 nights on the trot during the week, I needed to chill.

Dry glad you got to the party intact. Enjoy your day with ds.

Hope ds is feeling a bit better today Shop

Your ootd Blingy sounds cosy - shame you're working on the weekend though.

Forgot to say yesterday that I'm definitely up for a MU in Feb.

My outfit last night was similar Fedup but I accessorised with gin .

Party & heels sounds fab Dry.

Thats a great travel outfit Blingy Safe travel to wherever you're going.

OOTD is metallic breton, these black skinny trousers, metallic loafers & my trusty Massimo Dutti jacket. Using a Stella McCartney bag that my Dil gave me. She's staying with us at the moment for work so we're taking her for a casual lunch.

Enjoy your Sunday Voguettes.

Hope you're OK QueenC

Hiya Lib, is it lunchtime?

Hi blingy I have arrived in Auckland and it's 6.30pm so teatime as the kiwis say. What has you up at this ungodly hour???

I am so jetlagged....

Lib you’re there! Well done. I’ve had some horrendous jet lag on Aus holidays - up by 3am, falling asleep at the dinner table. The good thing is when you’re over it you’re there, rather than coming back too soon.

Hope the weather is lovely and spring like - how exciting

Glad you've arrived safely Lib

Need dress advice please voguettes. I'm going to a tropical wedding. Was thinking of this lace dress for the rehearsal dinner. Either red monsoon dress or Oasis red dress for the wedding. Opinions please? It's not until next march but I saw these & thought they'd be ok to wear over festive season also.

Lib glad you’ve made it - how exciting
So I have sinusitis and miniShop has laryngitis. We’re both feeling very sorry for ourselves.
I have just ordered 3 sequin tops to try from Warehouse to cheer myself up. I’ll only keep one.
My M&S trousers have arrived for me to collect but I probably won’t make it until later in the week now.

The drop waist dress looks hard to wear Dream but of the two red ones the Oasis one is my favourite for you.

Strangely Shop my favourite dress from the ones Dream posted is the drop waist one - I LOVE it, followed by the Monsoon one 🤣 But I've never met you all so I think you'd be in a better position to choose. I hope you and your little one feel better soon. Look forward to seeing your tops, which trousers have you ordered from m&s? I've a few things I want to get from there but going to wait till Thursday as I heard there will be a 20% discount.
Lib - your adventures just sound so amazing!!!
Blingy what were you up at that time, are you travelling in a different time zone, you did mention a travelling outfit yesterday.

Yay lib, you’re there! Hope the jet lag doesn’t take too long to get over.

Hope you and minishop aren’t feeling too bad shop, I hate sinusitis, that pounding headache is a killer.

What will the weather be like in March dream - pleasant or humid? Just wondering whether lace will be a bit warm? Also, would you want two lace dresses?

My rainbow dress came 🌈. I was expecting for it not to suit me but I was pleasantly surprised! I think I’m going to keep it. It’s quite thin (ie not structured) but not too clingy and doesn’t emphasise my mum tum as I feared. It’s just very cheerful and not too dressy so think it will get quite a lot of wear. It’s a shame they don’t do a jumper in the same pattern.

rushes in, look everyone jumper version
