No improvement Fedup but thanks for asking. Another fall today :(
In beauty news I bought the new Hourglass mascara which is AMAZING.

Everyonelovessparkles · 30/08/2018 13:11

Glad you had a good weekend dry and that your outfits all worked out.

Love the pointy boots too blingy. I’ve worn my red hush cardigan jacket several times since it arrived, so it was definitely a good buy.

Glad the flatworms and canvas supergas worked out for you fedup.

Sorry to hear about your DF shop. Did you ever try the brightening pencil in the end? Thanks for the mascara recommendation, I’m always on the look out for a new mascara. My current one is the max factor lash crown, which has been pretty good.

Looks like a good turn out for the MU. I’m still planning on coming just waiting to hear from my friend what her birthday drinks plans are which are on the same day.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 31/08/2018 09:55

Please add me to the MU list Shop - just booked my ticket.

shopafrolic · 31/08/2018 12:03

Everyone pencil is still on my list. Need to get to Liberty but not sure when
Bernice YAY Smile

AmberNectarine · 31/08/2018 13:57

I have a bag purchase to report...

Also got these shoes and a black Burberry trench. Can you tell someone just got paid??

FedupNagging · 31/08/2018 14:08

Way to go Amber; those shoes are fierce!

Shop sorry to hear that df's recovery is not actually progressing very smoothly.

Viva how are things?

My fashion news today is that I've inadvertently matched my lipstick to my scarf Grin

Stokey · 31/08/2018 18:42

I'm a definite maybe Shop

Missing the sun, have forgotten how to dress when it's not 30 degrees.

Am not ready to go back to tights.

Longislandicetee · 31/08/2018 21:04

Evening! Just had the most blissful pampering day and am floating home.Smile.

Amber love the purchases especially the bag! I am also currently looking at a cross body bag I like but it's a fraction of the price of your one!Grin.

FedUp how are those flatforms not really chunky on lil ole you?!Grin

Everyone I am wearing our Hush cardigan this evening with black and white jigsaw Breton top, gapkids jean leggings, R&B kids ballerina flats and carrying my R&B blue laser cut tote. Despite being half dressed from the kiddies section the cardigan really pulls it together.

Bernice that's fab! Look forward to seeing you all!

AmberNectarine · 31/08/2018 23:50

It was a bit of a splurge blingy, but hey, what are bonuses for?! I nearly got the camera bag style one because it was cheaper, but the heart wants what it wants. It was between this and a Chloe Faye but DH said this was more me, so for once I listened to him.

Fairysnow · 01/09/2018 07:36

Amber 😍😍😍

kittyhello · 01/09/2018 08:09

Amber that is my perfect bag EnvyEnvyEnvyEnvy
I love the shoes too, they're very you.

Shop Thanks

Absolutely no fashion news to report and don't have an a/w wish list - yet. In fact I don't even want to look as it's an admission that summer is officially over 😥

Longislandicetee · 01/09/2018 08:42

Amber, i agree with your dh. I have also been looking at the Chloé Faye too. I am torn between the backpack and the wallet bag which is similar to the Gucci camera.

MarshaBradyo · 01/09/2018 08:47

Big hello from holiday
So nice here, can’t believe we’ve made it to September!
Still perfect weather will be hard to return to jeans, may have to try other things
Resort is lovely, just a big wave will catch up when back

AmberNectarine · 01/09/2018 10:19

The Faye is BEAUTIFUL, Blingy, but it's a real 'grown ups' bag, which I am not, and probably wouldn't tolerate the abuse I give my bags. I do love it though, and will probably get one at some point.

Next on my list is a mock croc APC half moon bag though. After not buying a bag since my Neverfull a year ago, I now want about five.

AmberNectarine · 01/09/2018 10:20

Total bullshit: I got a Saint Laurent clutch at Christmas.

QueenCelestial · 01/09/2018 15:41

Just popping in to say hello. Last few hours of holiday and I don’t want to leave. It’s been an amazing week. As it’s our second holiday I am v brown although went a bit laissez fair with the suncream today so am a little bit red.

Not looking forward to getting back into the routine of school next week. I’ve ordered some Levi and oasis straight crops to try to get me through the week! The weather looks about 20 degrees next week so hoping I may still be able to wear dresses and not jeans (although possibly kidding myself!).

Will catch up properly when back.

DryWhiteagainW · 01/09/2018 17:13

Hellooooooo
Can't believe it's a week since my epic packing weekend. Anyway, party tonight (then I'm retiring, I'm pooped) on grass, smart casual. Heat tech best will probably be involved. As will block heels and loads of layers.

Very excited as I have my red coat not often I have success in Zara but this is a gem, lovely quality and fit and some nice top stitch detailing too. I'm excited to wear it with my grey MJ bag and cashmere mulberry scarf.

Amber what a fabulous bag.

V much looking forward to seeing everyone (and EveryoneGrin) at the MU

libertyonhertravels · 01/09/2018 23:21

Line up for the MU sounds great - will need lots of updates!

Amber that bag and shoes are sensational. Enjoy!

Blingy try as I might I cannot see you with a backpack no matter how high end Grin. The wallet bag though would be great for you.

I'm waiting for this camel coat to arrive from Zara (snap Dry). Zara have some great looking coats atm - like this parka and this kakhi trench which I am really tempted to order.

I'm considering these yellow loafers Opinions welcome! I wouldn't do the fold down back.

House is really progressing down, we've ripped out part of the kitchen to get a better feel for how we want to organise it which has been a good idea. There are horrible cork tiles in the kitchen and sadly we found when we went to take them up that the original Rimu floorboards underneath are in a bad state (old borer infestation) so we have to remove the entire floor and put down a new one which is a shame as I was hoping to have a beautiful original floor.

Have also found a fantastic painter/decorator who has given us great tips on colours and styles. The age of the house means that wallpaper is a better option for most of the rooms so I'm really enjoying picking those. We've had ceilings repaired which makes the place look so much better even without them being painted yet.

Just had a gorgeous weekend here, beautiful blue skies, 16C but apparently blizzards are on the way tonight Shock, just as I thought winter was over.

libertyonhertravels · 01/09/2018 23:22

'progressing down' Confused that should be 'progressing well' Smile

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 02/09/2018 00:56

fabulous bag amber

Sorry to hear you DF has fallen again Shop it must be very tough going on you all Thanks

i can't make the MU as mil is down that day to visit and it would be rude of me to not see her

sounds like things are going well with the house lib which is great news and I like the yellow loafers, i think they are lovely though i can't wear yellow myself as it makes me look green ( not such an issue with shoes of course!) and doesn't go with anything else i wear Smile

really not feeling it clothes wise, i just can't find anything i like apart from graphic print tees of comic books things etc and i have plenty of those already and really don't need anymore but when has that ever stopped me, plus i feel fat and hideous as I just can't shift any weight despite really really trying. just doesn't budge no matter how much i move and how little i eat, destined to be a fatty it seems Sad

Fairysnow · 02/09/2018 04:54

One, I’m an I’m again off again lurker but wanted to say I know how you feel re weight. Sometimes you need to give yourself a break from feeling bad about it. You cope with a lot as it is. I think about my weight constantly and I’m 47 FGS - I don’t know why it is on my mind so much.

The most stylish woman in my office is a size 22 - she nails it clothes wise Every Single Day (and has for years...) from the receptionist to the CEO, we are all her fashion fangirls Grin

QueenCelestial · 02/09/2018 11:12

Good god, I can’t believe it’s only 11am. We’ve been up for 9 hours and travelling home. It’s going to be a looong day. I will be browsing soon to keep myself awake....

lib house sounds fab although shame about the floor. I like the loafers but will the backs work up? Also will you do bare legs or tights?

one/fairy my weight gets me down too. Since being on hrt I’ve definitely put on weight and have to accept that I’m about 7lb heavier than I’d like to be. However I try and focus on being fit and toned. The only thing that gets me down about exercise is that however much I work out and focus on abdominals my stomach area still looks awful. But all week I’ve worn a bikini and wondered round the resort in it as I want to try and promote body confidence to the dc.

QueenCelestial · 02/09/2018 11:19

I hope these don’t become a thing!

QueenCelestial · 02/09/2018 11:26

bonkers shoe

I was surprised at how many people were wearing furry slides on holiday so maybe these will become a thing

QueenCelestial · 02/09/2018 11:34

love!!!
