That's so quirky Shop. I have a pineapple (should have bought 2) but it's nowhere near as cool as your artichoke Grin. Hope you're ok?

Love love Claud's dress; she was wearing a similar one in black a few weeks back.

shopafrolic · 26/11/2018 07:04

DF back in hospital overnight with suspected heart failure. Good vibes my way please.

So sorry to hear that Shop, sending positive vibes and hugs your way Shop

shop sending love and good vibes your way Flowers
Btw - love the artichoke!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 26/11/2018 12:01

So today I am at work and I'm wearing this Banana Republic knit dress that I bought last winter but have only just been able to wear, with black knee high heeled boots. It's really elegant and I love it!

I bought a bikini from J crew last week for baby swimming (this top and these bottoms). It didn't arrive in time so I had to wear my old bikini for the first session, then when it did, I realised it didn't suit me as well as my old one (this Melissa Odabash one), even with my stomach out Confused I think because it is a dark colour it made me look really stumpy, which I found really interesting!

shopafrolic · 26/11/2018 15:44

Thanks all - am at the hospital. DF sleeping so i’m Surfing the net.

Shop positive vibes and a squeeze from me too Flowers are you still at the hospital, how are things?

Blair good work on wearing old bikini will you keep the new one?

Red we get together every six months or so for a very long lunch and Prosecco (not compulsory ; ) and have a great time and a laugh
If you’re not bored with the thread by then and fancy it you’re very welcome! It’s in central London usually at not an overly expensive place

Redandblue11 · 26/11/2018 19:59

marsha thanks, that is 2 March, that is DH birthday so I do not think it will be a good move to go lunching with fellow mns lovers of fashion Grin
Will see next time if I am still round and have not bored as you say x

MarshaBradyo · 26/11/2018 20:02

Brilliant for next one, yes he might question it somewhat ;
Ps I just realised I made the thread sound boring which of course it isn’t Grin

justasecond · 26/11/2018 20:47

Sorry to hear that shop Flowers I hope all will be well soon, your poor Df has been through a lot. xx (ps I will pm you re who the you know who is!)

Blair the navy dress is lovely and I can't imagine you looking stumpy!

My Stories order arrived yesterday, can't believe the delivery was so quick. The jumper is going back its completely different to the picture. The cord trousers looked lovely on. Very flattering but they are so wide and I just can't see myself wearing them anywhere. The velvet trousers are lovely, definite keepers. Flattering fit and just the right length. I think they may be a little short for you shop I can measure the inside leg if you like?

Stokey · 26/11/2018 21:35

Shop thinking of you and DF & sending masses of positivity your way - adore the artichoke.

Justa I have those cord trousers in navy. I get lots of compliments when I wear them. Normally with trainers or ankle boots and fitted top or jumper. They are quite high waisted, have to make sure I don't eat too much!

maradesbois · 27/11/2018 19:24

Hello Voguettes,

Sorry for my protracted absence from thread, no reason apart from life and work but saw we are half way down page 2 of S&B. I was worried Vogue had died and that I was partly to blame Sad. Must do better.

Shop sorry to hear that df is back in hospital Flowers.

Blair Is it a Kit day or are you back properly?

Stokey love the sound of you in navy wide leg cords.

justa I’ve been following more of your skincare advice, am now using an oil cleanser as you pointed out the oil is only in contact with your skin for a minimal amount of time. A dermaquest one, its a revelation. Also using the niod vit C serum. Feels a bit sticky but is only for nighttime and doing a good job so far so I can live with the texture.

I did a very Vogue thing today, got a cab home from work as it’s raining and had forgotten to spray my suede Acne boots.

I saw matches private sale has started and NAP (with measly 25%) but am being sensible and avoiding. A blue velvet Staud handbag I bought this time last year and have worn zero times is a good reminder (although I don’t regret it and will defo use it one day).

I’d love to join the 2nd March MU btw for whoever is organising. Xx

Stokey · 27/11/2018 20:21

Waves to true voguette taxi lady Mara. I've heard good things about the GOW vit C from Victoria's health. Not sure where in your skin routine it should go though, Justa ? #MNVskinguru

Hope DF is ok Shop

Nothing from me fashion wise except crazy hat - party like a Russian!

MarshaBradyo · 27/11/2018 20:26

That’s brilliant Stokey can really see you looking ace in that hat

Mara I like your style, good vogueing

Amazing hat Stokey! Love it.
Yay! Mara is back Smile taxi sounds very sensible I'm sure it would cost a lot more to replace ruined Acne boots. I keep an old pair of shoes in my boot just in case.
Stokey you are making me regret sending the cords back. I'm sure you can carry them off much better than me though.

Not sure about being a skincare guru Blush I forgot to put moisturiser on today before foundation. I looked dry and cakey all day! I use this vitamin c. I use it in the mornings after hylauronic acid followed by moisturiser. Its not sticky or greasy at all. I don't use it at night as I tend to use retinol and niacinamide and they can cause sensitivity used with vit c.

No Matches or NAP preview for me Sad they never send me anything. Prob for the best though

Shop hope your df is doing better today. x

FedupNagging · 28/11/2018 08:28

Have made a note of your serum Justa as need a new one. Am waiting to see what is in the M&S advent calendar before I buy any more beauty products though.

Shop, have been thinking about you this week. Stay strong.

The March MU will be great, sad not sad I can't make it but will be in warmer climes. Am always up for a mini/weekday mu.

Am currently drinking coffee deciding on ootd; think it will be grey stripe wide legged trousers (m&s), grey Jagaer polo and stans. It's a miserable day here but seeing lots of lovely people at work will make up for it.

FedupNagging · 28/11/2018 08:34

Here's a pic of what I'll look like today 😂😂

FedupNagging · 28/11/2018 08:35

Oh and apols to Dry for the misspelling - should have checked Grin

Redandblue11 · 28/11/2018 09:19

justa stokey I love the sound of those corduroy trousers! I need to wait a few weeks to justify any purchase tough.

Maybe Xmas sales?

I am also following closely the skin care advice here ... listening for the mo and maybe in 3 months when my current products run out I will try a change.
I have been using at night the L Occitane overnight reset serum but I really cannot see difference... in the past I used the Khiel one and was much better for me .
I suppose I am just looking for for radiant and youthful look Grin

MarshaBradyo · 28/11/2018 11:56

Fedup love that look
We’ll miss you at the mu but will also be nice that you will be in the warmth and sun!

shopafrolic · 28/11/2018 16:23

Looks good Fedup Shame you can't make MU but there'll always be others.
Waves to Mara
My artichoke has arrived and is fabulous. I don't want to put it away for Christmas!
Been to see DF. He is improved but we're working from a low base I think. Still a long way to go.
