Hi Voguettes,
Checking in from my holiday terrace to say hi. Am trying for a mindful digital detox and to relax with a book instead of mindless scrolling but also nice to catch up on the thread. I realised at the last mu that I haven’t been around enough lately to know what everyone is up to so felt a bit out of the loop.
lib hope you had a safe trip back. Although heartbreaking to hear comments like that am sure dd will be fine when she sees all her NZ friends again. Although we are only just few hours from our old home ds gets a bit like that every time we go back - friends and family are so happy to see him he’s centre of attention and is normally holiday time with late nights and endless fun so I have to remind him that his cousins and friends don’t always live like that and have their day to day of school, homework etc.
Dream sorry to hear MrD is still going through the mill. Is the treatment a combination of medication and special diet?
Shop love the sound of your Lutyens bench and thanks for bra tip. I hate underwired so will check it out.
Am sharing my holiday packing list and love it when others do this. I tried to pack light and went with only dresses as follows:
2 x beach cover ups (Zara); - one short white and voile-like, the other long and paisley with slits which does beach to bar.
3x linen midi dresses; 1 is strappy navy (Whistles), 2 is short puffy sleeve floral print (Sleeper) which I wore to the mu and 3 is black marant long sleeved but super loose and cooling.
2 x striped loose shirt dresses; 1 is blue and white above knee with matching belt (Max Mara beach), the other is green and white midi with beige belt from a Japanese brand Tomorrowland - found it in Liberty sale.
1 x black wrapover mini (&OS), downgraded from day to beach.
Evening: Equipment navy silk floral sleeveless mini (plus Charlotte Olympia white strappy sandals) and Zara belted cream maxi with beige spots (plus Chloé Lauren block heels in neutral). Would have been good to manage only 1 pair of heels but the sandals have bits of yellow and orange that don’t work with the Zara dress.
Other shoes are 2 x Ancient Greek sandals in black and neutral plus cream supergas for travel and havianas for the beach. Bags are the APC plus straw beach bag and a cult Gaia raffia round top handle I picked up in the sales. Swimwear is a black hunza g 1 piece plus green bikini (Cos)
Also have a long silk printed skirt and a couple of white vest tops and that’s it. Normally I bring far too much and still forget things so was good to give it a bit more thought.
