@len those Sainsbury’s leather jackets are totally bargainous! If I was after just a “standard” black biker I’d definitely try. As it is it needs to be either a different colour (like the disappointing blue one we returned) or totally different like the star Hush one I wish @laska never pointed out to me

I have eaten my dinner (early, because I was hungry) Lemon Sole, broccoli and some sliced tomatoes (was lovely) , followed by small bowl of blueberries and Greek yoghurt.. MFP shows calories for today as 799!!

Evenings after dinner are always the danger time for me , though, especially the first few days of restarting a diet plan.. .. I want cheese!! ( and !!!)

I have iced water with a slice of lemon in ... .... It may have to be a really early night..

Sorry soy , what can I say ? ...

I’m just waiting for DD to come home from work, then we are having a (vast) bowl of mixed sautéed veggies (asparagus, pepper, aubergine, fine beans, onion, mushroom, tomatoes) with chilli salmon.

I’m admiring my ‘on point’ eyebrows and waxed legs which I had done today for the first time this year. I’ve also dragged out all my summer clothes to take back to England with me on Monday and discovered most of it doesn’t fit. All the tops are hanging off my shoulders. So a big ebay will need to happen. laska, Hush needs to employ you as an influencer :)

I’m really tired again, early night tonight.

Soy yy really are good if anyone was looking for black or stone.
I want a blue one, gutted that the BA one wasn’t right😢 I do love the black stud Hush one though, that naughty #LaskaHush pointed out.
😂 at the washing.
Dinners sounding lovely, I did sausage & mash with onion gravy peas n carrots for Dh & Ds I had a sausage & onion roll so very unexciting.

Wondering where @Huffthepuff and @DavetheCat2001 have got to? Haven't seen either for a while. Hope everything okay.

Your healthy dinners sound lovely and very inspiring! I've just had a big bowl of spag Bol followed by a mini caramel cheesecake and feeling very very full and a bit sick. Going to start trying to be more like you all as of tomorrow! Count down to summer wardrobe begins...

Will we get an Easter 10% do you think? I'd like to re-order the green shorts on the waitlist ( and if there's a 10% more the better!) ..

Hello! How nice to be remembered 🤗 thank you Ella. Are you all set for Rome?

I'm a thread behind unfortunately having been a bit snowed under with work. I hope you've all enjoyed the sale. Im delighted to see that the Layton dress and s/s Ivy I bought full price are in there 😒 although I've worn them both loads over the last few weeks so I can't complain really.

Soyyo it sounds like you've rebought the Keira's! Wonderful, such gorgeous trousers I'm glad. Just wish I wasn't between sizes so I could get them at the sale price too.

Hi Huff good to hear from you. I'm not at all ready for Rome, have been waiting to see what the weather forecast is like etc.
As it's likely to be warm I think I'm going to take a pair of Mom or boyfriend jeans, khaki paperbag trousers and a couple of nice tees/tops. Looking to get either a suitable sun dress or a pair of summery black culottes to wear with sandals or white trainers. I'll take my denim jacket.
I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of prescription sunglasses 😎 the pair I've got are 6 years old and I'm a bit bored of the frames.

Perfect, sounds just right. What about a bag? How do you feel about the straw style ones? I love the Topshop khaki trousers you got, they will look fabulous.
I'm lusting after a pair of the saltwater sliders in tan. Could be good for a holiday although I know you've got your leopard print sandals which are gorgeous.

Also loving these headbands borninthesun.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlbCmnrPV4QIVCr7tCh0QPAlJEAAYASAAEgIA9vD_BwE
For a glamorous touch with your new sunnies 😎

I'm useless at sundresses but will have a think...

@Huffthepuff I've got this cute little leather bag to take with me.

Loving the headbands, they are quite on trend right now, have seen lots of people wearing them. Also liking some of the hair clips on that site.

Saltwater sandals - unfortunately I had a pair last summer, loved them but had to sell on eBay as actually they were just a little bit too long at the toe but and I kept tripping up in them! I have my lovely TopShop leopard sandals and Hush white pumps and today ordered a pair of matt black Birkenstock Bali sandals - will see what they look like in the flesh.

Think this would suit you Ella. Unfortunately out of stock right now... https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-linen-camisole-top/p/p60257900?carousel=FUNHATTSIMILAREND

Ooh gorgeous bag! Love the colour

@Huffthepuff I Love that top! Now I just need it to be in stock because it's very 'me'.

Their stock changes day to day so you might get lucky 🙏 it would really suit you. This one is nice too https://www.marksandspencer.com/pure-linen-striped-short-sleeve-camisole-top/p/p60225388?image=SD011T4307022A4XXEC90&color=PINKMIX&prevPage=plp

@Huff nice to see you back! 😍 yes the Kiera culottes are fab and so glad I was able to repurchase. You must be so busy with a baby and work!

I’m nearly in London then Eurostar to Paris. Had a HUGE panic yesterday eve when I went on our travel work tool and saw my trip was cancelled! 😩 long story but the travel agents sorted me out with replacement tickets...unfortunately no seats left in the regular class so guess what? I’m travelling first class today and on the late train back to London tomorrow. Talk about every cloud has a silver lining!

I’m wearing blue Beatrice jumper with Boden Hampshire navy trousers, ankle boots and MV grey/silver Mac today, I’ve packed the Kiera culottes and the snake skirt for tomorrow with black tops, couldn’t decide so I’ll see what the weather is like in Paris tomorrow. I have an important presentation to make with my boss to the “top guy” and it’s the culmination of many months’ work...wish me luck!

Have a lovely day! X

Enjoy travelling first class Soyo - does that mean you'll get champagne for breakfast 🥂🍾
You work very hard - hope it all goes well in Paris.

Ps Soy - are the Kiera culottes quite heavy it would they be okay in warm weather?

Hi Ella yes apparently I get breakfast (and dinner on the way back) so no lugging pret coffee and baguette for me today to the train 😋 maybe champagne too? Also I get fastrack security so I’m hanging around as it’s a mild spring day in London and have 1 hour till train departure
The culottes are mid weight, perfect for spring. I think you should try them as Rome will not be that hot in April. In fact I don’t think they look “right” with tights and the reason for also packing the snake skirt tomorrow which does look okay with black opaques...just in case it’s too nippy in Paris tomorrow

Do size down to an 8 though. The 10 are right for me because the waist is half elasticated. No way on earth I’m a 10 bottom anywhere else!

Thanks Soyo

For anyone still contemplating denim wide crops that haven't given for the Moritz ones these Sainsbury's Tu ones are lovely

Am busy browsing on Lens recommendation

When do you go to Rome @Ellapaella
We went in August it was boiling!!
Don't worry too much about the shoulders, if it's hot and you're in a vest top or sleeveless dress, you can wear a scarf or a lightweight sarong round your shoulders to go inside places. I just had one tied to my bag. It also came in handy for shielding shoulders from the sun when it got too hot
Beware of fake gladiators trying to get pictures taken with you then extort £££ out of you. We were chased by a gladiator outside the colosseum

That's a good tip of gin thank you! I'll avoid all gladiators!
We go on the 26th April and the forecast is around 22 degrees which for me will feel hot, like the nicest kind of summers day we have over here. Perfect really, of course it may rain but I'll be taking a light weight Mac just in case.
