MNV- Vol 85 The Winter Warmer Edition

[FedupNagging]

Christmas and the sales are sadly over but winter is still here for a few months yet.

Come and show us your cosy knits and woolly hats whilst we dream of summer - everyone welcome, the more the merrier.

Just a quick message to say am planning on coming to the July mu.
blingy not sure but Thomas sabo popped into my head.

Blingy Thomas Sabo and Swarovski both have them x

Headband?
I used to wear a black velvet one, pearls, a knitted wrap with grilled edge and....

Some R and B chain link ballet flats. It was my Sloane Ranger phase......I had a permanent headache in the mid 80s and looked like a prat.....

“Frilled” edge obv

Ohhhh I want a headband

Good call on the Alaia blingy - it's gorgeous!

I'm so excited so many of you can make the July MU. QueenC I was thinking about a hotel that night - I'll message you.

Glad you got replacement boots shop. Fingers crossed no issues with the studs.

Fedup that traybake thread is brilliant - love it! Thanks for linking.

So excited to see lib!

Blingy good choice, think only the Alaia would have scratched that itch!

Stokey . Was it at coal drops yard? I like it there. Also like looking at things you wouldn’t normally notice. Floor heaven is Céline on Mount St, made up of strips of different marble. Obvs not the look you are going for but well worth a visit if you’re ever in the vicinity!

Dry can so imagine the junior you in that Sloaney ‘80s Diana look!

Am knackered, worked all weekend at a work event but loads of fun. Looking forward to a long weekend away soon with dh, ages since we did that.

justa am still thinking about those marant trainers and found them somewhere with a hefty discount but yes, hardly the £100 price cap. Also still thinking about the gorgeous green Arket dress.

Shop worth another go and if they fall apart again at least it is John Lewis.

Seriously Mara aged 18, at my party, I LOOKED like Di. Frill neck collar, flicks, blue eyeliner.....what a disaster! .....then I got a perm....god knows how I have any hair left < whispers I even had tartan pedal pushers> ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnns awaaaaaaaaaay

Dry you’ll need to share a pic of that perm at the next MU

Mara I really liked those Marant trainers, I’d like some new ones but without the big logo from this year’s. Sorry! I had about two seconds to post the list

We were little Sloaneys too at 16 / 17 and wore velvet head bands, pie crust collars, turned up collars, blazers and hostess scarves. Possible even pearls for evening stuff

OMG Marsha I will. I loved my perm. Felt v dizzy with it. My hair had so much mousse and hair spray (Superdrug ultimate hold) it was solid for about 4 years, no wonder I never had a boyfriend Took Years for my hair to recover.

love it

Plus you already have such thick hair (lucky lucky). Brilliant. 😂

dry and msra I can totally imagine you both as sloanes. I too, had hair stuck together with mousse and hairspray to perfect my lady di flick. I then moved onto sun-in and to anyone that knows me I really don’t need it!! My dm never let me have a perm which I was gutted about.

After thinking I’d found my perfect summer jeans I’m not so sure. The top shop jeans I bought in London fit great but because they’re so high waisted I’m not sure if they accentuate my tummy. I’m really long between my tummy button and crotch and so if I tuck something in there’s just a great expanse of a denim tum. I’ve ordered another 3 pairs from Levi. They’ll be refusing my orders soon as I’ve tried so many

QueenC have you tried the Levi's Mile High Cropped Flares? Esther Coren from The Spike is raving about them.

Just back from a 3 night away work trip. So tired now.

Loving the Sloane and headband chat. Reckon it's fairly obvious that neither are my thing!
Awful week here with DF, he is home but it's been awful and I've been crying every day - not helped by DH being in Nice on business (drinking rosé in the sunshine).
I ordered replacement SE Jennifer boots from John Lewis, despite taking their sizing advice they sent me the wrong US size so I have had to return them, and have no re-ordered in a UK 7 and 8 as they can't tell me which of those might get me a US 9.5 which is what I had before.
The good news is that they are reduced to clear at £79 now, the original pair from the Dressing Room were over £140! Fingers crossed one or other pair fits, and that the studs stay put.
In an effort to look less knackered I bought a new foundation and concealer today. [[https://www.johnlewis.com/dior-forever-foundation-matte/2n-neutral/p3915255 Dior foundation]] Dior concealer
The lady who did my makeup gave brilliant advice. Apparently my skin is dehydrated - probably all the booze and chocolate I've been mainlining this week.

Bargains in both colours for anyone who likes the hiking boot trend

lib no idea what styles I’ve just ordered. It was 501s and wedgies I tried last time. Almost perfect but not quite. I will find my perfect pair...

Sending hugs shop. I'm not surprised you are so tired. Things have been relentless for you.

Horrible day for NZ. I'm in bed trying and failing to get to sleep. Mind whirling after a busy week and today's appalling events.

Waking up to that news made me cry a bit

So so awful

Lib and Shop big hugs

I agree, what awful news to wake up to 😥

Shop such a tough time your family are going through. xx

Just bought a Kate Spade wallet, Bodas pjs, Frame skinnies, Duffy cashmere and a skirt in the new to sale on the outnet - saving £700 apparently. Will link if any good!

Sad and depressing news today I'm reminded of a lovely bunch of NZers I met on hajj a few years ago. They told me about their small but close community there.I hope they are safe today.

Stay strong shop . Glad you re-bought the boots, they looked lovely on you.

I keep losing my posts so I'll be brief today!

Shocking news from NZ yesterday. My thoughts are with you Lib and everyone in NZ (including friends)

for you Shop

Hope you find a pair of jeans that work Queen; I find trousers in general a pain to buy being such a short arse. Have a look at Maison Scotch jeans/skinnies

Looking forward to seeing your links Marsha

I bought a few items a couple of weeks ago which I didn't get a chance to link

Jigsaw Red stripe breton (I paid fp fgs!)

And this whole outfit from Hush - way outside my comfort zone esp the slogan t which I wore a few times last week. Might be tempted to buy another...

The silver havaianas I ordered didn't arrive but luckily I've been refunded so will reorder.
