Oh nice one Dry

DryWhiteagainW · 04/07/2018 18:35

Fairy did you send me something once? (Trying to work out who you are!)

Fairylolly · 05/07/2018 06:28

Oh sorry I meant easy to recognise as I keep the Fairy part of my name!

shopafrolic · 05/07/2018 14:48

Thanks for the bag link Fairy I thought they had gone bust but clearly not?
I ended up buying this bag in the sale. A bit of fun (although I wish the YEAH was silver) and will work with all my dresses that I'm taking. I'm still going to keep my eye out for another totally plain envelope clutch though - it was such a useful bag.
I am wearing my navy Uniqlo jumpsuit today with silver Raybans and silver Birkies. Loads of compliments on these jumpsuits - I'm wearing them loads. Highly recommend, v comfy in this heat too.
Countdown is on for Majorca - leaving on the 13th :)

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2018 17:28

I bought some Celine sunnies today but they are going straight back
Did not go down well at home! Too wide. Comedy wide apparently

Nice bag Shop

shopafrolic · 05/07/2018 19:30

I liked the other ones Marsha but they were even wider right?
I so need some sunnies. The ones I bought withSleep and Lib after a boozy MU a few years back have had it.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 05/07/2018 19:36

I got new sunglasses this year, a pair of raybans. shame i have to have prescription ones because i see a lot that i like but with needing the prescriptions lenses, it cuts options down quite a lot. still, i do really like the ones i've got, they are comfy and i think they are stylish Smile

justasecond · 05/07/2018 20:12

I like that bag Shop!
What shape sunglasses do you suit? My best is round. I have my eye on another pair of ray ban clubround in mirror lenses.
Late to the party but love the outnet buys Marsha Did you keep the sandro skirt? I think it would look really good on you.

I am finding the weather very sartorially challenging Grin I am washing my poor By Malene Birger white shirt daily. It will be threadbare before long! Can't find a link to it but its the only white shirt that has ever worked for me.

Boring but useful alert: This sunscreen is excellent biore watery essence

Fairy I love those ts boots. I would totally buy them if I had anywhere to wear them Grin
Lib your house sounds lovely

justasecond · 05/07/2018 20:14

btw Kitty I will pm you with my number as I tried to send you a text and realised I was a digit short!

Also can someone send me/pin the mu group pic?

shopafrolic · 05/07/2018 20:15

There’s my problem Justa I don’t really know.
I haven’t great pair of aviators. And then my other good pair are straight along the top and kind of round at the bottom. I’m supposed to suit cats eye ones but I tried some as modelled by Laura on Love Island (I’m so classy!) and they looked awful on me!

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2018 20:17

Justa I did! Not the dress though

Shop think they’re the same shape dh said they looked good in the pic but i best show him in rl

Sunnies are very specific aren’t they - I definitely can’t do completely round, need width and oversize but not too much

MarshaBradyo · 05/07/2018 20:28

It’s also such a drag to take them back as I will probably take dd and can’t keep doing black cabs in and out of town, but they were not cheap so they need to be right

I think these are they Celine

Just had a look at oversize pics and they are massive on pretty much anyone. Will try on and show dh

justasecond · 05/07/2018 20:54

They dont look too big in the picture Marsha although they could have shown them on a model! I really like that style though

any of these any good shop

Love the first and last Justa
I wanted to look at the airport but we check in at 4am so not sure what will be open.

shopafrolic · 05/07/2018 22:23

I struggle with solid black though. Best by far have always had silver / grey to them. Just need to try loads.
Lib do you remember those hideous ones we all tried in Selfridges? Grin
Need a new thread soon.....

Dreamqueen · 06/07/2018 07:45

Shop most duty frees open at 4am.

DryWhiteagainW · 06/07/2018 07:52

I have a thing about tortoiseshell sunnies...love My Zadig and Voltaire from last year.

Yesterday I wore a bootilicious lined pencil skirt with a t shirt to work and very pointy silver flats.......BIG sartorial fail!too hot, too tight and v v sore feet.
All I want to wear at the moment are waftybdresses. My summer holiday wardrobe is getting a lot of wear for once. My usual work uniform of cropped trousers and sleeveless top is too hot.

MarshaBradyo · 06/07/2018 09:16

I love tortiseshell and a nice graduation in the lens. Can’t do completely black or too loud

shopafrolic · 06/07/2018 13:47

Does anyone know what these aviators are a copy of? I bought them as cheap for my girls weekend and they are fab - the gradient eases the black (top tip Marsha) but they are so cheap the quality is fairly lousy. Wondered if anyone had seen similar designer?

maradesbois · 06/07/2018 18:46

Chloé Shop, yours look good.

Have ordered 4 Rixo dresses to try for this wedding! Hope one of them is good. Can’t do the N&T polyester in this heat. On way home from rosé with work for champagne in the garden with dh, happy Friday! Smile

Love Rixo Mara, need an event to justify buying one.

Do you know Pyrus? Quite similar style/ price range. I've just treated myself to a snakeskin silk shirt, feel like Amber has similar.

Longislandicetee · 07/07/2018 10:02

Morning! Did a little Outnet order which I will link later. Shop when is your holiday?Envy

Stokey not heard of Pyrus before, nice to look at.

It's so warm already! Did an 8k run this morning. Slowly inching my way to being able to do 10k again. The dcs finished school yesterday so no school run for 2 months. Hurrah! We go on holiday in 6 weeks so I am going to use half the extra time catching up on sleep and the other getting bikini ready. It's a good formula!

Have a lovely morning Voguettes and special hugs to Mara

MarshaBradyo · 07/07/2018 12:02

Big mwah to Mara have a wonderful day Cake Flowers

I’m in Liberty having returned the sunnies

Wish I could find a dress for this heat, will have a look

Love coming here, people are so nice to dd, which is nice especially as the whole of central London is closed and she was sticking to me in the sling by the time we walked here

MarshaBradyo · 07/07/2018 12:04

Looking forward to the links Blingy and Mara bet they’re lovely

shopafrolic · 07/07/2018 16:06

Friday for first trip Blingy
