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.

Brilliant thanks Hendrick’s has great reviews on there, actually they all do. Not keen on overly sweet either

Hendricks or Bathtub are favourites here. And Pink Pepper.

Cool thanks Hendrick’s has arrived. Last time I bought it was pre the gin revolution when people bought Tanqueray

How’s everyone doing?

Blair how’s miniBlair at nursery?

Mara missing your posts, haven’t seen you for ages (work looks good)

Marsha Tanqueray is good. When I went on gin tasting we tried the old traditionals too, Beefeater with orange slices is delicious, can’t beat Gordon’s either.

I have several favourites!
tanqueray Seville
Whitley Neil rhubarb and ginger
Bombay Sapphire
Slingsby Gooseberry

Love a nice G & T

My favourites are Hendricks and bloom

Vogue question: Speaking of vogue confessions (my link earlier) do you have any?

I’d wear this Gucci look on my feet and be happy

Vogue confession - forgive me fellow voguettes for I have sinned - I confess to a huge pile of tatty, holey t-shirts that I wear to the gym and hair that is overdue a cut and colour by at least 3 months.

MrDream is coming home on Thursday. To celebrate my lovely DB and DS in law are taking me out for dinner. I've got gin. Life is looking up.

Fantastic news Dream.

Oh Marsha this is going to be great....
Well.........there are my gardening clogs, hideous but cosy fleece dressing gown, Cath K apron I wear to cook and keep on for ages after because I can’t be arsed to take it off......cath K apron with gardening clogs (no socks) together is fantastic.....

Fabulous news dream!!

My vogue confessions...if I’m not going out at the weekend you’ll most likely find me in sweats and fleece.
If I’m exercising after the school run I turn up with no make up and wild hair (like this morning).

My Vogue confession is (I'll understand if you ban me from MNV) that I bought these yellow sandals this morning. I bought silver ones last year and thesy were a lifesaver when I had my broken toe. (hangs head in shame)

My vogue confession is I still have these Caterpillar boots for wearing in the garden. I bought them when I was a student and loved them so much I even rescued them after I trod in a massive poo.

Dream that is such good news, so happy for you and MrDream.

Forgive me MNV for I have sinned many times. I love a comfy shoe especially fit flops and am often found in old hoodies and sweatpants. There are more but not comfortable sharing

Excellent news that dh is coming home tomorrow Dream

Now going to read back what I've missed

Dream that’s such good news, I’m really pleased for you

Love the confessions

Seriously - I leave you lot alone for a few days and come back to this

Lol

We might need some purchases to atone for it

I like this but maybe something not quite right for me

Sleeves maybe too much

Found you all!

Forgive me the long absence, promise am back!

Dream so sorry about everything you and dh have been through but fantastic news to hear that he’s coming home.

Shop, I’m with T for a much needed haircut, he misses you! Xx

Marsha I have the same Marant green and white trainers as you, got them before Easter in the Matches offer, great minds! I was set to get the chunky ones I linked a while back but saw them irl in Liberty and wasn’t feeling it. Also got new
sunnies, love the pale tortoiseshell and shape.

Feeling lardy due to lack of exercise of late so mostly wearing loose Zara dresses while I address it but at least accessories game is strong! Disclaimer: I love Zara and think it is keeping the high street going but find poor quality hugely annoying. Have had all the private sale codes this week and invested in a summer bag from APC with 30% off. It is very me, works effortlessly with most of my wardrobe and a good size.

Regarding decidedly non-Vogue looks I give you my very old pair of pink floral cath kidston pj bottoms with a ripped hem to trip over, am on my way home to slip into them and couldn’t be happier

Btw Marsha I loved the clogs, just not sure about khaki green for you as have never seen you wear it rather than wouldn’t suit.

Shop congrats on dh’s promotion, woo hoo

Dry oh my eyes

Mara so pleased about all that, that we have the same Marants, those sunnies are sooo good, love them and the APC is perfect for you.

Lovely to see you back!

Voting day today, must remember
