I really need a new bag to replace my Chloé marcie mini which I’ve worn and worn to death, I just don’t use bigger bags, I love the fact I have both my hands available to do something. Anyone any ideas on what to get?

@Applefairy I’m not sure, I can’t remember just looked at my notes from my days and it doesn’t say, how can I tell? I’m also a natural ingenue.

@Themarvellousmrsm yes I quite like mustard, I’ll keep a look out. I tend to keep to cream, taupe, greens, browns in the winter.

@Blingysolightly I think Holland and Cooper started as an equestrian brand, they do lots of jackets, some similar to the infamous Balmain shape.

We went to a lovely galvin country pub for lunch, ootd was my new jumper, AG blue skinnies, tan H belt, some very old carvela tan lace up ankle boots (love it when a fashion comes around again) and my MK brown leather jacket.

Karcheer how about a Celine trio? If they still exist, not sure

Dry MrsM great outfits

Shop good call on hats

MarshaBradyo · 04/11/2019 08:39

Exciting Stokey bet it feels brilliant to be close or will very soon

Yes re Tom guy, his acting is brilliant, although I changed my at end of s2 and liked him!

shopafrolic · 04/11/2019 09:04

Karcheer I'm impressed you have notes?! Welcome back to you and Applefairy
Thanks to you all I have just downloaded season 5 of the Affair which I hadn't realised had happened.
miniShop back to school today, DH has taken the day off to spend my birthday with me so we're off for a long walk and a pub lunch later.
Lots of great gifts including the cobalt blue Stories roll neck that I linked a while back but it looks MASSIVE Hmm

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/11/2019 09:56

Happy birthday shop Cake Wine hope you have a lovely day!

Is the jumper meant to be oversized?

I am currently obsessing over Xmas party outfits, got 4-5 things to go to, and I've only bought off eBay so far Halo returned a Ted Baker outfit that just wasn't worth the £180 after discount, let alone the £260 full price, which is a shame because I love Ted clothes.

Karcheer welcome back! Dry and I both have the Marc Jacobs Recruit saddle bag, which is a similar shape to the mini marcie but a bit bigger. I love mine and have been using it non stop for nearly 2 years! I am not sure if they make it any more but you might find one discounted, it really is a fab bag if you like that shape.

MarshaBradyo · 04/11/2019 11:26

Happy birthday Shop have a fantastic day 🎂🥂

MarshaBradyo · 04/11/2019 11:27

Good shopping Blair

Blingysolightly · 04/11/2019 11:27

Happy birthday Shop. I know today will be a bittersweet day so well done to MrShop for taking the day off. Hope you have a lovely day.CakeFlowersWine

Karcheer have you looked at the Gucci Disco? Or Chloé Faye? Or Chloé with the C (can’t remember what it’s called but I like to gaze at itGrin)

Dreamqueen · 04/11/2019 11:48

Happy birthday Shop Flowers Wine

Karcheer · 04/11/2019 12:08

Happy birthday @shopafrolic
Yes I kept the two little books she gave me of the colour and style day.

Thanks all for the bag recommendations I’ll take a look, @Blingysolightly I had always thought of a Disco, but wonder if they are a bit over/everywhere now.

I’m going to order some Topshop jeans today, I need some new basic skinnies for dog walking.

VivaVegas · 04/11/2019 14:44

Happy Birthday Shop, I tried that jumper on last week and even the XS was very big, it's a beautiful colour though and I was tempted.

Karcheer · 04/11/2019 17:47

I got carried away on the Mint Velvet website and ordered their faux leather leggings, black and blue jeans and two jumpers.
no idea what their jeans are like,so ill see...

shopafrolic · 04/11/2019 18:55

Unfortunately the cobalt jumper is going back. It is enormous, and the neck is very high and thick so it looks a bit like a neck brace on me - not a good look Grin

Themarvellousmrsm · 04/11/2019 18:59

Happy birthday Shop, hope you enjoyed your day which was exactly the same as ours! dh needed an afternoon nap after all the excitement 🤣 Just about to watch a film now. Love the colour of that &os jumper

Love a bit of MV Karcheer, think Viva tends to buy from there too.

Has anyone bought the M&S advent calendar? I wasn't going to bother this year but somehow ended up ordering one anyway! I'd like to open everything now - no willpower whatsoever

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/11/2019 20:40

I've got the MV coated leggings Karcheer. They are great.

shopafrolic · 05/11/2019 18:07

take me to Studio 54 immediately I bet this looks fab on a dance floor.

Karcheer · 05/11/2019 20:15

I’ve ordered a few bits...

Boots
khaki trousers
jumper in sand...

DryWhiteagainW · 05/11/2019 22:37

Gucci Disco “over/everywhere“ Karcheer Shock Sad............

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/11/2019 22:52

You started the trend Dry! I remember when you got yours, you had it at the first MU I ever went to :)

Karcheer · 06/11/2019 08:42

@DryWhiteagainW I’ll take that as a definite “no it’s ok” then!?!? 😆

maradesbois · 06/11/2019 10:03

Hi Voguettes,

Disco definitely not dead Dry and Karcheer! 💃

Belated happy birthday darling Shop Flowers🥂

On my way to work in Zara leopard-print maxi, honey-coloured arket boxy cardigan, thick black tights (heist, did anyone try? They are good) and square-toe Gucci horsebit flats. Square is officially back à la bottega veneta. For coat am still in trench but feeling the morning chill. My dream and wardrobe gap is max Mara camel coat, found the perfect one but mega spendy. Dry are you replacing your camel? Let me know how you get on.

shopafrolic · 06/11/2019 17:08

Thanks Mara
I read your post as you were on your way to work in Zara - there's my head going "WOW?! That's a career change I didn't expect" Grin

shopafrolic · 06/11/2019 17:08

P.S. Having sent the blue Stories sweater back I may have bought the snakeskin AND/OR boots instead Hmm

DryWhiteagainW · 06/11/2019 20:41

Haha Shop

Mara I wore my new Arket black pleated midi (maxi on me) to work with black opaques, Hobbs patent loafers, Uniqlo grey fine merino round mech over a Me and Em white layering shirt.....felt quite preppy, felt great , lots of positive comments at work. I’ll replace my camel next year or in the sales after Xmas. No rush, I have a lot of coats.

Latest Me + Em brochure is awful, normally I love their styles but this time nothing, and the model’s shoes are too big (and hideous), disappointing.
