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.

Well done Dry good work esp in this heat

Too hot in loft bedroom Dh wants to buy a Dyson fan, I don’t know only a couple more days. Does anyone have one?

MarshaBradyo · 25/08/2019 21:02

Thanks for info MrsM

Welcome back Blingy

DryWhiteagainW · 25/08/2019 21:02

I’m knackered....still so much stuff though. Shop you should do this as a job....

DryWhiteagainW · 25/08/2019 21:03

Grin at tapping at windows Marsha.....I’m in

shopafrolic · 25/08/2019 21:14

We’ve got two Dyson fans - they’re ace. Especially good around little people as no blades to tempt little hands.

shopafrolic · 25/08/2019 21:15

I would love to do it as a job but people don’t want to spend money on it - they need the cash to shop.

Blingysolightly · 25/08/2019 22:34

Tapping at windowsGrin

Even my cleaner was telling me the other day that it was time for one of my clear outs.Grin Poor thing has the job of sorting out my wardrobes and my bling. She pointed me towards this Coach handbag that I had bought early in the summer that she thought I had forgotten about as I hadn't used it.Blush

Themarvellousmrsm · 25/08/2019 22:55

I just returned that same bag Blingy - love, love the colour but didn't like the short shoulder strap & no zip - am super fussy. Anyway, lovely to see you back. Was thinking about you this week.

My friend paid about £500 for a wardrobe makeover a few years ago. The stylist spent a lot of time with her and she was very happy with the whole experience.

Have been perusing Hush & Uniqlo and have a shortlist - watch this space!

libertyonhertravels · 26/08/2019 08:38

Hoping the picture works - very happy with my latest purchase which was a $50 vintage shop find!

Trying to catch up...
Well done on the weight loss one and good to have you back posting on here.

*Marsha" those Dyson fans seem pretty good!

Dry well done on the clear out. Have you got a shopping list now?

I'd join the gang at the window for the blingy clear out.

Looking forward to your links marvelous.

QueenCoral · 26/08/2019 09:35

Hello!!!!! I’ve been awol for a bit as stuff going on at home and have been spending my time in relationships rather than s&b. But I’m back!!! Because of the stuff going on at home I need to save money so therefore buy less but I’ve got a bit left this month so am going to treat myself to a few new things to get me through the coming months.
blingy only you could forget about a new bag Grin
dry wardrobe clear out sounds good. I do mine twice a year when the seasons change
dream v exciting about a squishy baby!
marsha we have dyson fans at work and they are good
viva glad your holiday was good. Love that blue dress except the collar wouldn’t suit me

QueenCoral · 26/08/2019 09:40

I’ve just ordered this blouse as I had a hush code. AUT19 if anyone wants 10% off before the end of the month.

I’ve got my eye on a couple of other things but waiting for discount codes.

QueenCoral · 26/08/2019 09:42

I bought this dress just before it i went on holiday and love it. I haven’t worn red for years but if anyone sees a red jumper/blouse for me let me know.

QueenCoral · 26/08/2019 09:47

viva this one from whistle stop may be a better length for you

DryWhiteagainW · 26/08/2019 13:05

Lovely purchases QueenC especially like the red dress.

I don’t have a shopping list, I have plenty of clothes !!! (But I’m sure I’ll find stuff indeed)

Themarvellousmrsm · 26/08/2019 19:21

pops in to see who's around, rushes out to get Hush order done - thanks for the heads up Queen

Themarvellousmrsm · 26/08/2019 19:53

Nice vintage find Lib - looks in excellent condition and good quality. Its a bag I can imagine Mrs Maisel using.

Lovely blouse Queen and here's a red jumper - it was in my basket but took it out and now wish I hadn't

My order:
Pleated culottes - not sure about these but will give them a go
Camo Leopard shirt
Cherry jumper - have been eyeing this up all summer so for £30 it's in the bag

Themarvellousmrsm · 26/08/2019 20:07

Re the Uniqlo order, I'm waiting for the IDLF collection to drop later this week as there are a couple of things I like.
So far in my basket are:
Wine blouse
Knitted coat
Fleece coat
Check Scarf
What I'd really like is one of these cashmere scarves in red but i have a habit of shrinking delicate fabrics so the grey check may be safer.

Blingysolightly · 27/08/2019 08:08

Good morning Voguettes! I love that bag Lib, such a great bargain! Also love QueenC's red dress and Marvellous' cherry jumper. I can't take the coats seriously at the moment!

I hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend. We haven't spent time together as a family this summer and the dcs are back at school next week (the 2 months summer break has gone so quicklySad) so this weekend we had 2 family days out and then had a lovely bbq with friends at home yesterday. I have worn the same Gap boyfriend denim shorts all bh weekend paired with different tops each day. I think one more wear today and I can pack them away for next yearGrin

DryWhiteagainW · 27/08/2019 08:11

Blingy I’ve been in my Gap boyfriend shorts all weekend too....great style
