Mumsnet Vogue vol.86 the spring/summer edition

[QueenCerise]

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.

Waiting for the train; will give Oxford st a miss & head to venue

Took a while to decide on outfit as usual! Looking forward to seeing everyone & will miss those that can't make it.

On train with no aircon! I'm considering walking to avoid the tube as it's only 20 mins but I may arrive slightly melted! Can't wait to see everyone

Enjoy the MU everyone. Sorry to be missing it but sat in a field listening to tunes with good friends so all good!

Gosh it is warm! On the bus but still nowhere near. Glad I wore linen

Sounds like bliss Vegas, enjoy!

Have an amazing time Voguettes - gutted not to be there. Send pics x

Blimey ladies , it’s all very quiet..... not a drunken round up in sight

I'm on the train Sal looking almost 99 per cent certain to miss my flight back to Ireland

Will round up later...

Lib good luck for another flight

I’ll round up when I get myself together, lazing around!

I’m on the train having just woken up dribbling . As usual, a fab day. The train is moving so quick I’m not sure I can write my round up...

home now. Great day although London was hideous especially by the evening traipsing over bottles/cans. blingy/bernice we lost you in the crowds so hope you got back ok.

It was so lovely to see lib and she looked lovely in her new arket dress.
blingy had legs to die for in tiny shorts but i was disappointed by the gold jewellery as I didn’t want to try anything on!
bernice looked amazing in a whistles dress and statement earrings
fedup I loved you hair (is the fringe new?) and love the new bag but shame about the chipped nails
marsha had gorgeous hair gently blowing in the air con breeze and looked far too tall in her heels!!
mara I felt like I didn’t see you much but loved the dress (pineapples?)
blair looked as gorgeous as ever and can definitely pull off a hat
justa was glowing as usual and loved the melon shirt and chic trousers. You are the epitome of polished.
sleep looked great in her pink dress and now I’m hankering after a white bag
dry had the most glamorous hair as always and loved the chambray dress

So save well as wanting either a white bag like sleep, a laser cut bag like fedup, I also want some Birkenstock’s. Saw so many people in them looking cool but I’m not not sure it’s a look I can pull off.

Well, I had such a wonderful day yesterday. Everything was perfect, venues and timing, the crazy party atmosphere of Gay Pride which I LOVED, fab weather and a great MU where I felt I really caught up with everyone......and the farewell hugs, twice round the table
Everyone looked fabulous as ever and I just felt the warmth of being surrounded by such a mixed group of lovely friends. (Missed Shop big time )
And I loved the gold bling being a gold woman and all........

And the gorgeous French waiter 😉

I didn’t so much liked the large drunk guy who slumped on me on the train home.......was brave and him off and swanned off down the carriage.....

Oh my goodness, he was totally lush. Can’t believe I told him how beautiful he was

QueenC please NEVER wear Birkenstock’s.

Marsha thank you so much for organising yesterday, it was so lovely catching up with everyone. I didn't dare touch loved your bag but missed where it's from? Feel like I should know or I'll be excommunicated from the thread!

Lib I didn't get a chance to mention how much I liked your hair that bit longer and your dress was the perfect colour for you Did you get your flight?
Dry we didn't get to chat as much as usual (next time) but I did like your Mango cardi/jacket
Queen you made me laugh so much (tit tape on order) and am now lusting after a quilted bag like yours
Bernice queen of the topknot and big earrings-loved the look
Justa your bag swoon

Blingy only you could look so stylish in basically a shorts and t shirt combo! So pleased you made it
Mara more bag love from me and such a pretty dress
Blair looking cool and serene as usual; really liked your dress
Sleep loved the pink dress and trainers look - super cool

Can't remember who said I should try arizona's but have ordered a pair and will let you know

In the cold light of a sober day, I still love the R&B bag - fastest bag purchase ever

Evening all!

I had a mild hangover this morning Thank you for such a lovely Saturday Voguettes. As many of you know i haven't had a lot to smile about recently, so it was lovely to see you all.

Lib - I am convinced that you should take the fact that you missed your flight as a sign - you should have given me the passport when i demanded it! Loving the longer, darker hair on you and your dress was lovely too. It was so good to see you my friend. It's weird, that it isn't actually weird that one of my besties lives 12,000 miles away and we talk all the time! Didn't feel like enough time though yesterday.

Yesterday was a glorious array of fantastic summer prints from almost all the Voguettes. I know I totally fan girl over Bernice every time i see her but OMG she looked amaaayzing! Loved the top knot - sooo chic and that dress and the earrings were just so swoon worthy fab on you! I was most in awe at how fabulous the 3 "new-ish" mums looked! Marsha looked so beautiful in her print dress and omg just how fresh faced did Blair look? As i said to you, you know how to do a good belt!

The people i least got to talk to were Mara, who looked beautiful in her dress and Justa who just delivers a chic outfit every single time. I loved every thing about your outfit, especially the way the scarf matched.

Dry, wore a blue chambray dress with a frill down the front which sounds nothing special when you describe it but it's a lovely dress, and as I said, the way you cinched it with the tan belt really showed off your fab figure. I would happily copy the look but am way too booby to carry it off!

Funnily enough, I can't remember what FedUp was wearing, but i do remember how gorgeous her hair looked. Have you done something different with it?

As always, QueenC had me just roaring with laughter. Seriously babe, you are just tooo funny - you flashing me/everyone else when i asked why you needed tit tape for your lovely dress...Pure comedy!

The two most casually dressed were Sleep in the beautiful pink dress with trainers, always love how she carries a casual look, and me in Veronica Beard shorts and a Karen Millen camisole!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend x

Ok voguettes.....day 3 of my solo trip down south. I’m meeting a friend I haven’t seen for about 12 years can’t wait. No pressure to look younger ...yikes! I’m just going to repeat my MU outfit, felt good in that. Obv a blow dry is about to happen, I need good hair

Lib Had the perfect autumn colour dress and fab glossy hair
Dry killed the hair situation and loved the chambray
QueenC so funny, ‘your skin is so soft’ to the waiter loved it and lol at hair in wind below 😂 loved your bright colours
Bernice great style as per, with print topknot and earrings
Justa beautiful muted colours, so stylish on you, you are the glossy opposite to a creased shirt
Blingy you made me go all street ‘damn girl’ and I hadn’t had any Prosecco yet. You did look damn good in those shorts!
Mara loved the print of your dress, so pretty, effortless
Blair killed the hat and preppy beat dress vibe, very impressive
Sleep loved the pink dress, very cool and perfect with your hair
Fedup loved your new bag purchase mid mu, great style!

I had a really fantastic time and feel so lucky to have you all as friends to do mus. so good!

Fedup it’s a Céline classic box, I love my colour very much but also on googling (Céline to get accent ) I love this colour too

I didn’t realise your shorts were Veronica Beard Blingy I’ve been eyeing up some of her stuff I like it

QueenC still laughing at not taking backing strip off TT

Marsha I can’t believe you just did a whole MU roundup and didn’t mention how much you missed me

Have a fab day Dry!

Saturday was great and so nice to see everyone for the first time in 2 years. I felt frumpy but everyone else looked so chic - highlights were:
Marsha looked like a model as usual, where was your dress from? I think I remember you linking it on here, was it DVF?
Lib the guest of honour was lovely and fresh in a new dress and with new (to us) hair, loved hearing about your new life and seeing the house pics.
Sleep was cool as ever, rocking the GG trainers which really suited her.
No one did much shopping beforehand as it was too hot but Fedup saved the day with her excellent R&B bag purchase later on - it's gorgeous!
Agree with everyone else Bernice looked so chic with her updo and amazing earrings.
QueenC was looking lovely in a Hush dress and made us all laugh lots (I didn't realise the barman was french! But his hair WAS too tall!)
mara had a beautiful APC bucket bag that was perfect for summer.
And speaking of bags I almost missed out on admiring Justa's stunning Loewe!
Blingy looked amazing and so young as usual (in a good way!) and it was funny chatting about the uni we both went to (can't believe i had forgotten about "G or M?" )
And finally Dry was very summery in her belted denim dress and we managed to rescue her suitcase at the station :)

I didn't drink too much which is always good, and well done again to Marsha for booking the wine bar

X post Shop everyone missed you lots and of course kitty, Everyone, Dream, Stokey, Viva, Amber and anyone else I've forgotten!
