I think you could wear that top blingy it's so pretty. Try it. Maybe with a scoop neck top under it?

Get your sister on the thread Dream

I’m there for July 6th

I’m defo on for 6th July.

Cartier bags? like Porsche 4x4s that’s wrong! (Nice though)

I’m having a chino moment. So bored with jeans. Bought khaki last year and have added navy last week.

Another holiday purchase bag don’t want anything more expensive for 2 weeks.

Marsha add me to the 6th July MU please

Lovely Cartier bag Blingy I think you can wear that blouse a la Mara with a polo neck underneath.

Shop how's df now

Dream will be great to meet your sister.

I would love to wear that top the way Mara wore hers. Only other problem is I am short waisted (my height is all in my legs) so some things easily make me look frumpy.

So Voguettes, choice of the day....I have this R&B Clara tote in blue and it was my bag of last summer, as in used it more often than any other bag last summer and absolutely loved it. R&B have now brought out this version and in fact a number of versions including the mini. But I quite the alaia tote too. So the question is which one or should I just say sod it get both? (Neither not an option!)

Blingy I adore the Alaia and think you should get that

Ok will update list later

Hmm.. I like them both Blingy but they are too similar in color and style to get both. The Alaia looks really special. You already have the R&B one in blue so maybe go for the Alaia instead? Do you love the Alaia enough to pay the big price difference for it?

Blingy go for the Alaia you already have the R&B version so go for something a bit different this time.

Same bag in 2 colours? Nah (says the repeat buyer )

Thank you everyone! Alaia it is then, unless someone comes running on to the thread at 100mph to tell me not to spend an extra £1,500 on the Alaia!

Sadly think I'm going to a festival that weekend, which will be fun but will miss you lot.

Lib let me know if you fancy doing an evening drink while you're over.

Mara went to the Tom Dixon shop in Kings Cross on Friday to look at their floor, not obsessed or anything ..... It was better than Tiffany's but it's much newer!

Ladies - I need your help please. The Dressing Room have very kindly agreed to give me a full refund on my Sam Edelman boots
They have been super comfy but the studs are falling off.
Assuming there is no point in buying another pair, has anyone seen anything similar for around £120?

My goodness, I can’t believe it’s been over a week since I was last on here. And I didn’t even give my round up!! Basically it was lovely to see you all and I would love you all if you turned up in sweat pants.

Just doing a quick catch up.
I’m in for 6 July. lib are you staying over? I’m tempted to get a hotel if people stay out later than last week.
blingy I love the Alain’s and you must definitely get it. You’ll always regret it if you get the r&b insyead.
justa you most definitely do not need Botox. Please do not mess with that beautiful face of yours.

I bought some new jeans last week-straight leg cropped from Topshop and a couple of new tops (j crew and Claudie Pierlot). Can’t link as just on my phone on work lunch break.
I have my eye on a couple more things for summer but figured that with mother’s day coming up there’ll be some discount codes around soon!

Another vote for the Alaia :)

shop I have found 2 that are either side of your budget but nothing around it:
Carvela
Office
That's so annoying about the SE ones!

Queen did you get reimbursed for the overpayment of the CP blouse?

Shop shame about the SE's as they really suited you How about these look pretty fierce from Zara and under budget

Dune

That's all I could find.

Is anyone going to try out the large hairband trend? I have just ordered this from Asos because I know it will sell out and I weirdly love it and soon will need something to cover up all my sprouting baby hairs. I can really see Mara in one of the big velvet ones and justa in an embellished or brocade one.

Yoo hoo, I'm back! And despite the fact a headband can subtly pull your skin taut, but they also have a youthful association that can liven up an outfit (actual quote I kid you not) it is not a trend I'll be embracing

Am definitely coming to the MU in July so add my name to the list please Marsha

Lib have you seen Which is the tastiest Protestant traybake thread? It's the best thread on MN atm (apart from us natch) and you'll love it although it may make you a touch homesick!

I am loving the mini clara especially in the yellow but I suspect the Alaia would suit you so much better Blingy

Whilst checking out the headband link I had a quick look for boots for you Shop - Steve Madden
and
Sofie Schnoor

Thanks all. I have sent my boots back, and decided to risk ordering a repeat pair but this time from John Lewis as I love them so much. The added win is that they are now under £90 when I originally paid £140. Hopefully these will last as they were sooooo comfy and I love the style.

Hmm, not sure I can do a headband. Best left to the under 40s I think! There’s a lot of trends I’m not sure about this season-headbands, beige, barely there sandals, resin earrings. I may be able to get on board with tie dye to unleash my inner hippy and that’s about it. Bootcuts make me shudder a bit as I feel a bit like been there, done that. I’m getting old aren’t I
kitty they never got back to me and on the website it was the price I paid so I assume the ticket was wrong and I can’t be arsed to quibble over it.

At least you got the lower price Shop! Let's hope that it was a "defective" one.

Blair, i think that lovely headband is for other people, not me.

I have ordered the Alaia bag. Will report back when it arrives!

This is a bit random, but I am trying to find a cross pendant that looks like this Tiffany one but instead with black crystals. If anyone has the first clue where i could find one, please let me know?
