Welcome back Mara nit that I've been around much!
Have just ordered this lovely Whistles bag and this Hush jacket. I also had a splurge in the Stories sale and ordered a load of sequin tops from Next as I fancy one to wear with jeans and heels for a night out. Will link if any of it is a keeper.
I'm finally coming out of the other side of the demise of my marriage, never thought I'd get over it but have started to enjoy life again and feel there may be a light at the end of what has been a long dark tunnel.
Although that now seems to mean I'm spending too much on clothes 😂

So good to hear that things are better for you Viva Smile. Nice buys - I think some indulgence is called for.

maradesbois · 22/10/2019 10:01

Lib this is my rains, is the olive green colour too but a much more casual shape as I wanted something for country walks etc. Absolutely love the shape of yours though.

QueenC lovely jumpers, great colours and really exciting to hear about your new home project, look forward to the decor updates. We are hoping to buy in 2020, Brexit situation permitting, gah.

Vegas lovely to hear from you. I was wondering how you were doing so good to hear you’re coming out the other side.

Btw the blue thing I bought was a painting not clothes, investing early in my future home!

QueenCoral · 22/10/2019 11:45

mara so good to see you!
vegas I am so so happy for you. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes the tunnel is just v v long. I feel such a weight off my shoulders although of course separation brings with it a whole new set of stresses. But it also brings a whole new load of excitement Wink Blush

Blingysolightly · 23/10/2019 22:34

Lovely to see you Mara!Smile

And you too Vegas, lovely bag you linked there. glad to hear you're over the other side of the end of your marriage.Smile

I wore the new fit and flare dress today from me & em which I bought last month. It was way too long for me so I kept it and had it altered, taking 6" off the bottom. Loved it!

shopafrolic · 24/10/2019 16:46

Can someone buy this please?

QueenCoral · 25/10/2019 12:52

Surely that’s one for you shop

Dreamqueen · 26/10/2019 18:58

Just bought this jaegar coat from the outlet shop near DS and Dil. Needed something smart for BIl funeral on Wednesday. It's lovely.

I'm up visiting new baby. She is so beautiful and happy.

No other news. Apologies for no comments on other posts. It's all baby with me at the moment Smile

Have a great time Dry
It’ll be the end of an era when that coat dies - I think that was my first ever find for you?

Have fun Dry, I think I remember that coat find classic

MarshaBradyo · 29/10/2019 14:01

Dream that’s lovely

Viva really pleased to hear that you deserve it, did you find some narrower boots? I’ve been thinking of you and them - can you do 50/50s? I saw some with a discount

shopafrolic · 29/10/2019 17:28

Not an exciting purchase but very necessary for watching miniShop play football new North Face coat

shopafrolic · 29/10/2019 17:34

I saw these AND/OR boots in-store which are a lovely blue/black snakeskin and look fab with cropped skinnies.
Also tried on this rather lovely bobble hat and this neon beanie but couldn't decide between the two so didn't get either. Please be impressed. In the old days I would have bought both Grin

libertyonhertravels · 29/10/2019 17:49

Super impressed at your restraint shop. I think get the neon beanie. The oversized bobbles while they look good are a PITA. Those boots are v v you. Love them.

Are you in London today Dry,? Is a replacement camel coat on your list?

shopafrolic · 29/10/2019 18:50

I do think that about bobbles Lib - I always feel a bit of a child
In other news you can now customise and personalise your own Barbour jacket

Back from my day shopping. I bought this skirt very flattering for a pleated skirt, longer on me than on the model, will be useful all year round.

Wanted to check out the Trinny London make up range. Very nice indeed and practical packaging ....got some of this that I accidentally called BFF cream. Much lighter than normal foundation.
