Vol85 was far too slow and hopefully a shiny new thread will get us all excited again.

Lots has been going on with lots of stress for many of us but our love of fashion and friendship keeps us here.

Viva Dress is a couple of inches above my knee but I have 30/31 inch legs. Measurements are on the page if you click on further details

QueenCatalina · 15/06/2019 16:46

Your legs are way longer than thatbshop

VivaVegas · 15/06/2019 19:21

And definitely way longer than mine!
I'll have a look again if they have any left after June!

shopafrolic · 15/06/2019 20:58

33” leg is too long for me Queen so I was sure I was a 31?

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 04:46

Gah, it’s 4 o’clock and I’m wide awake. I had a very late night on friday, a stinking hangover yesterday and now my sleep is all over the place! I absolutely developed a girl crush whilst in the restaurant. Someone was wearing a gorgeous green dress and a head band and she looked divine. You could tell she was ‘expensive’ and then I clocked the chanel earrings! Lush. It made me want a head band.

shop I wear 30 length jeans and just assumed your legs were so much longer.

Hello! Just wanted to pop by to say look forward to seeing you all at the meet up soon. Sorry for not keeping up with the thread.

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 09:48

Yay Bernice, good to see you!!!

I did a John Lewis order in the middle of the night Grin

MarshaBradyo · 16/06/2019 09:49

Bernice brilliant so nice to see you!

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 10:26

for dry

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 10:31

For blingy Grin

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 10:34

for shop

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/06/2019 10:35

Well what did you order QueenC? Don't keep us hanging!

Bernice lovely that you will be at the MU! Only 3 weeks to go.

Shop I want to know how long your legs are now, I think you should measure Wink

Dry your outfit for the rainy do sounded excellent. Thanks for the reusable pads link, I have never thought about that before (I just use one a day but think I'll invest in them too!)

Dream how's MrDream and how are you getting on? :)

I'm still holding out for further discounts on NAP sale and have started making a rough list of holiday clothes as I'm not going until the end of August, in case I can get things in the sales now. DS is fully better and life has been a lot nicer the last few days Grin except for the weather, it's just miserable!

DryWhiteagainW · 16/06/2019 12:14

QueenC those shoes are divine

QueenCatalina · 16/06/2019 13:58

blair I decided I needed a black blouse (blame the weather) so ordered this and this. I then got excited by the huge discounts on j crew that I ordered some jeans too Grin

Please let the weather be better than this in 3 weeks. I’ve got 2 dresses or a jumpsuit that I want to wear to mu but if it’s like this I can’t and I have no idea what I’ll wear.

justasecond · 16/06/2019 17:20

Hello ladies, so sorry I've been awol. Took a break while I was fasting but back now and determined to keep up and post more. Have missed you all and am really looking forward to the Big MU!
Like many of you, fed up with the weather. Have hardly bought anything but at the same time fed up with my 'old' stuff. Have ordered a few things in the sales will link if any good. I am a bit heavier after Ramadan (too many samosas) so need to get back into a healthy eating routine!
Back with links later! Xx

shopafrolic · 17/06/2019 07:58

Waving to Bernice and Justa Looking forward to seeing you both x

libertyonhertravels · 17/06/2019 10:22

Great to see you here again Bernice and Justa and can't wait to see you at MU!

Weather over there better improve!! I had dress and sandals lined up for MU.

shopafrolic · 17/06/2019 11:05

After a suggestion from the lovely Lib I have ordered a couple of blazer jumpsuits to try:
This was the one Lib sent me to look at
and this was the other one I spotted
Not sure if I am brave enough but worth a try.

libertyonhertravels · 17/06/2019 11:52

Oh I love it when a Voguette orders something I suggest!

MarshaBradyo · 17/06/2019 12:37

Big wave to Justa

I’ve booked the usual from 1.00. It’s the same place as we went to last time, please let me know if you’re not sure where this is, and I’ll pm

kittyhello · 17/06/2019 14:56

Justa and Bernice lovely to see you both back on here, beenswondering where you were along with Every come back Every

Great finds for Shop there Lib

I like your blouses Queen and was quite tempted myself but kept myself in check and didn't succumb. Did you buy black? Shock

I've been tentatively looking at sales stuff, I don't really need anything so I don't want to be tempted to but something just because it's a good price but........ Grin

I did buy this[[https://www.24s.com/en-gb/erwin-top-a-p-c_V7HHQ?defaultSku=V7HHQBLKWF040&color=noir APC blouse]] but will send back as it's quite long and too bulky to tuck into jeans/trousers but too long to wear it out. Such a shame as it's really nice.

I also needed to replace my red flats which I've worn to death, they really life an all black outfit, so have bought these smarter ones red shoes

Due to the rubbish weather I've also worn my pink Hush long sleeve tee shirt a lot so have bought it in another colour it's like a thin sweat shirt without the heaviness Hush raglan marigold

This is what I want what I really really want
Chloe blouse but would have to be reduced by 90% Grin

shopafrolic · 17/06/2019 20:18

Love all those links Kitty shame about the APC
I ordered these R&B sandals but they just don’t look good on my long feet. Back they go.

MarshaBradyo · 17/06/2019 20:22

Kitty I love all those for you, fabulous. And the Chloe is beautiful

Shop good call

justasecond · 18/06/2019 20:00

Shame about the sandals shop they looked very you and I'm sure you will look amazing in the playsuits too with your long slim legs.
kitty apc top is lovely but I see what you mean about the length. I would be all over it if it had long sleeves though! Love the red shoes. Will keep fingers crossed the chloe goes down to a bargain price!
I ordered a few things from the Massimo Dutti sale. Most will go back but keeping this shirt and probably floral print trousers to wear on holiday. Not sure about the bold floral but the black border makes them look better. I tried them on with a fine knit nude jumper and white nicholas kirkwood loafers and it looked nice.
bought the Golden Goose trainers I was on about ages ago as well and have worn them loads trainers they are not as distressed as they look!

Struggling to think of what else I have bought. I think I buy more skincare than clothes these days Smile

justasecond · 18/06/2019 20:04

Has anyone been watching Riviera btw? A bit ropey story line wise but love the clothes esp Julia Stile's character. I would wear it all in my imaginary life as the wife of a billionaire
