Jeans look fab, I like that shirt too Mara

Ooh The Bodyguard was good in the end.

I have a question about silver. Want to buy DD a silver necklace. Does sterling silver tarnish eventually? If so can you get solid? What exactly is sterling? Guess I could just google.

Sterling silver is just silver - you want solid silver rather than plated. All silver tarnishes but v easy to clean with silver dip or a polishing cloth.

shopafrolic · 23/09/2018 22:52

Bodyguard was fab - glad Line of Duty is coming back next year too.

Shop I LOVED how blunt you are, I'm still giggling to myself in fact Grin
I am happy to share/bore you all with my skincare routine!
am
cerave cleanser
niod cais but as I said to mara i'm not sure what it does exactly
hylauronic acid serum
vit c serum this was the biggest game changer for me
Followed by a tiny bit of moisturiser I'm currently using up a Rodial Bee venom one but I don't really rate it.
spf50

pm
this for first cleanse
rodial cleanser second cleanse with a cloth. I have just started on this Omorovica cleanser some nights too thermal cleanser not been that impressed so far though.
retinol reface 3/4 times a week
hylauronic serum
niacinamide
night cream

on alternate nights I use glycolic pads as either a first step or just on its own with nothing else.

Hope I haven't made it sound too complicated because it really isn't!

justasecond · 23/09/2018 23:58

Mara I'm so pleased you bought that gorgeous shirt. I was hovering over the buy button since last night but then decided to be uncharacteristically sensible given the things I still need to buy for The Big Event Grin. Look forward to hearing what you think of it, it looks so lovely.

Shop the dds spent all their money! Can't think where they get their love of shopping from!

Longislandicetee · 24/09/2018 08:16

Morning everyone! What a whirlwind of a weekend! I had such a lovely time at the MU. Great conversation, decent food (you can’t go wrong at that place!) and free flowing prosecco. Many highlights for me. from feeling Shops boobs and arse (it’s —my— our thing), miniMarsha’s toothy grins, FedUps flatforms which turned out to really suit her (I loved our giggle over it), Mara describing her previous bossShock, and loved the fact that Mara and Kitty wore the same lovely top. My lowlights were it all went far too quickly and I didn’t get enough time to chat to Sleep, Justa or Dry.

I don’t know about anyone else but i always end up having a total style crush on someone each MU. This time it was Bernice who looked so utterly exquisite in that blue and black dress and lush hair. Wouldn’t suit me in a month of Sunday’s but I loved it! Also loved Dry’s outfit, is that Oasis top recent. You looked so good in it I am not sure I could pull it off!

This morning Everyone is my favourite mumsnetter as I am wearing my new R&B wedge boots in size 36.5s.Grin Slightly too big but feels more comfy than the 36s. Thank you for being so eagle eyed! They look great with my Hobbs Peggy skater knit dress (a a/w wardrobe favourite of about 6 years).

Have a lovely day Voguettes Smile

shopafrolic · 24/09/2018 08:25

Blingy you felt my boobs? Shock

maradesbois · 24/09/2018 09:21

Shop, Blingy pointed out to us with a demo that she is the perfect height for a Shop boob-nuzzle!!!

Happy with my ootd - mih frayed bottom jeans with white cotton hi-neck victorian shirt - stiffish cotton makes it sharper not flouncy as don’t do flounce. Mansur Gav heels (this type of outfit defo the way to wear them, they do look a bit frumpy with dresses), black blazer & red leather Gucci bag. Feel on it and ready to hit my new role running! It still feels that in-between weather here, not cold enough for coat or socks.

Vegas hope the weekend went well, big hand hold xx

justa thanks for writing down all the skincare stuff, i’d missed some! My eyes watered at the spend involved in your big event too!

shopafrolic · 24/09/2018 09:38

I remember that Mara - I just thought perhaps she'd abused me at another point and I'd missed it Grin

Everyonelovessparkles · 24/09/2018 09:58

Sounds like the MU was a great successs. Hopefully I’ll make the next one.

Enjoyed my friends birthday drinks. Wore my new 😀Boden dress with navy opaques and tan ankle boots. Felt terrible the next day. Not sure wine agrees with me.

blingy Blush glad the boots came and are a success.

Outfit sounds great mara good luck with the new role. I know what you mean about the weather. It’s a gorgeous sunny day but with an autumnal nip in the air.

This blue dress came at the weekend. I ordered a 10 and whereas it fittted fine, I’m not sure if I’d been better with a 12. Hopefully will try one on tomorrow and make my mind up.

Hope it went ok at the weekend viva. What did you wear in the end?

Great skincare list justa. Will have a look through properly. I feel like I ought to up my game now I’m in my 5th decade!

MarshaBradyo · 24/09/2018 10:18

ok dd asleep so I can do my roundup. I loved it so much, you are all brilliant and so very stylish (and good looking no joke Grin)

Kitty and Mara looked amazing in the very pretty apc print. Love that design

Fedup ace in a cream star print

Dry brought her hair A game as usual and loved the red coat

Shop rock chick awesome with black blazer. Brilliant baby whisper abilities and lovely kind words re dd

Sleep great look in a skirt and slouchy jumper, fab makeup and hair too

Blingy loved the black and red, great strong look

Bernice looked a million dollars in a sensational bold print dress, hair and earrings

Justa yes to the advice on skincare glowing, youthful and very pretty

Thanks for welcoming dd to our lovely group, really means a lot to me Flowers

Oh and yes to loving all the different styles, so so nice, loved it

MarshaBradyo · 24/09/2018 10:20

Everyone love that blue dress very much

Viva hope it went ok

Mara which Mansur Gav shoes do you have? I missed that!

shopafrolic · 24/09/2018 10:34

Viva how are things? I've been thinking of you.

libertyonhertravels · 24/09/2018 11:03

I'm dying to know what Justa's big event is??? PM me please!

And I want to see a link to Bernice's dress if possible and Kitty's top / Mara's dress...

Love the round ups. Great skin care list Justa.

Mara your work outfit sounds fantastic.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 24/09/2018 12:04

Morning! I am on a train into London for the first time since February - solo Grin it feels weird but nice. I'm going to see my dermatologist. My ankles are a bit sore (anyone else have that postpartum?) but my SPD went completely as soon as I gave birth, so this is the most walking I will have done for many months!

Love the MU round ups. I want to meet Marsha's DD, aka the newest voguette! And please let's have another meet before Christmas Smile

Viva thinking of you too.

One thanks for the jeans rec, I just never get the chance to go to primark really, I might do today though!

BerniceBobsHerHair · 24/09/2018 12:19

Hello all,
Have also got a sleeping baby Grin so able to post. Love how the round ups have become a thing though hard to be one of the last ones to post so apologies for the repeats.
And before I start, Lib you were missed! Exciting you are coming back this way next year.

Loved seeing miniMarsha (and Marsha) who really is a mini Marsha and her big grin when it was suggested she was tired was priceless!
Shop loved your current haircut, interested to hear if you do decide to go short and grey - you would suit it. And hope you manage to make it to M.
Enjoyed speaking with Dry properly for the first time despite being at quite a few MU together. Shame I missed the red coat.
Also didn't get to chat to Justa though I did clock the luminous skin from across the table! Love that Mara took notes regarding your skin care routine.

Mara looked lovely in APC dress and interesting chat about your industry and horrendous egotistical boss - well done for kicking him to the curb!
Kitty's short hair and APC top looked great.
Blingy lovely to chat about our continent in common (ish!), and try on some of the bling! I love how easy going you are about it.
And finally FedUp thanks a million times for reminding me about my train!!!! I made it by a whisker. BTW Very exclusive have their 30% promo at the moment. Also Hush have 10% off with AUT1018 if you are thinking of getting the other shirt.
That was my umbrella - will PM you.
And waves to Sleep though she's probably not reading - loved the skirt.
Everyone the dress you linked from Boden a while ago is in their sale. I have ordered it in the blue.
Lib this is my dress.

FedupNagging · 24/09/2018 15:13

Wow that is some skincare routine Justa - I have made notes but think a vit c serum is top of the list.

Lovely shirt you've ordered Mara and your ootd sounds fab.

Shop you were fine Grin

FedupNagging · 24/09/2018 15:25

Oops, hit post too soon!

Enjoy your day in town Blair but I bet you're really missing Babyblair

Lib, be brilliant if we could do a mu whilst you're in our hemisphere - maybe we could tempt Linus to fly in too?!

I think a few of you have Hudson boots? How is the fit esp width?A pair of Chelsea boots have caught my eye.

Thanks for the Veryexclusive reminder Bernice, I'll have a look now

shopafrolic · 24/09/2018 19:34

Kitty i’m watching that House music focus that was on BBC4. Thanks for the reminder.

DryWhiteagainW · 24/09/2018 20:23

Blingy this is the top Mara your outfit today sounds lovely, I love a bit of victoriana.....can you link the frayed edge jeans?

OP posts:
DryWhiteagainW · 24/09/2018 20:37

Can I waffle a bit about skirt lengths? I tend to wear my skirts either on the knee or just above in winter. With the security of black opaques (I know how much you love them Marsha Grin ) In summer I go a bit longer, perhaps it’s the footwear or bare legs but midi works for me in summer only. Keep trying for winter, with ankle boots (not enough leg shows) and knee length (look frumpy)......do I just ditch trying .....am worried I may be a bit long in the tooth for short skirt/ankle boot combo. Sorry for the long paragraph but my return button has stopped working.

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 24/09/2018 21:02

I think black opaques only work with short skirts. Maybe you need to try with flesh coloured? But I get that wouldn’t be as warm.

justasecond · 24/09/2018 21:32

I think you are right Shop as I have tried midi with opaques and it only looks good with my leopard trainers. Otherwise it looks better if you can see a bit of flesh. I do like the midi skirt and slouchy boot look though but I don't want to spend too much on them. You are defo not too old for short skirt and ankle boots Dry! My return button seems to have stopped working too...

justasecond · 24/09/2018 21:35

I'm tempted by these zara boots could they work with midi or maxi skirts and opaques? Will they be excruciatingly uncomfortable?

kittyhello · 24/09/2018 21:42

Great MU round up so won't bore you with what's already been said. It was so lovely to see you all again and I always come away with a huge smile on my face. Mara and Justa sum it up perfectly re: friendship. As per, everyone looked stylish rocking their own look with a Clic Clac here and a Goyard there and I loved twinning with Mara Lib this is the blouse APC but I can't link the dress. Next time I need to catch up with Bernice and Sleep Dry I too can't hit my return button either - annoying. Shop there's a follow on on Friday, will have to set a reminder. Sorry for the long one paragraph Blush
