Happy New Year MNV.
Heres to a great & stylish 2020.

Happy new year! Dfil passed away just before midnight so a bit glum here.

Shop those boots look like Grensons. I thought you already had a pair of those.

shopafrolic · 01/01/2020 10:19

Kitty I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s very sad.

kittyhello · 01/01/2020 12:19

Thanks Shop he'd been deteriorating for a while and it was only a matter of time.....

Anyway, here's something a bit more uplifting here's my Bicester Village Christmas money purchase

https://www.mulberry.com/gb/shop/seasonal-colours/darley-wallet-porcelain-blue-small-classic-grain Mulberry purse but in a lovely cerise pink colour]]

kittyhello · 01/01/2020 12:24

Oops link fail it's a bright pink medium Mulberry Darley purse.

I almost had buyer's remorse as I saw a red purse in Gucci which I liked for the same price. Only problem was I'd already bought the Mulberry and couldn't return it for a refund. The remorse only lasted for a nano second and I'm please with my pink one. Wink

Happy new year to everyone - may all your clothes be happy purchases

Kitty am so sorry for you loss - sending hugs.

I did a mahoosive sales order from various places but in the end only kept 2 items - am trying not to buy clothes too similar to what I have (loads of skinnies/jumpers/blacks/greys) but struggle to actually like anything else! I'd like more midi dresses as love the Zara one I bought a while back but so far none have floated my boat.

Keepers: Jumpsuit - wore last night with heels and naturally it's not cropped on me!
Hush jumper

Have just remembered I bought these western shoe boots back in November - love them.

Applefairy · 01/01/2020 15:10

Kitty very sad news and I’m so sorry for your loss.

Karcheer I’m a fan of Lanvin flats but I’m also wondering if they have ceased making them as as I haven’t seen any for a while now.

I’ll try to link some cute leopard kitten heeled GR’s that arrived recently.

Applefairy · 01/01/2020 15:17

here
I love them 😊

kittyhello · 01/01/2020 16:25

Apple I love love those shoes -

MrsMarv great purchases, love them all.

Dreamqueen · 01/01/2020 16:45

Sorry for your loss Kitty

Love your purchases MrsM Are the shoes larger or small fitting please? I'm very tempted, I vary between a 4.5 or a 5.

Goes off to google kittys Mulberry purchase.

Themarvellousmrsm · 01/01/2020 21:06

Dream I'd say they're true to size-I'm more a 4.5 but went for 5 as have wide feet. Did you see your dgd over Xmas?

Love those Lanvin kitten heels

Karcheer · 01/01/2020 21:10

@kittyhello sorry for your loss.

I went to bicester today too. I got these not the most exciting, but definitely classic and practical.

shopafrolic · 01/01/2020 22:35

I do need to go back to Bicester. I haven’t been for about 8 years.....

Karcheer · 02/01/2020 11:11

@shopafrolic you’re in for a shock, it’s changed beyond belief. I’ve been going for years and years, I remember when it was so much smaller and ended at Versace. I can remember being in my early 20s and dressed for work head to toe in rl purple label that was so cheap from there then. The person who decided to take bicester to the Chinese tourist board has a lot to answer for!

Dreamqueen · 02/01/2020 12:27

Not happy here. I did a huge Uniqlo order before Christmas mainly stuff to wear at home (smartening up casual clothes) & stuff for mini mini Dream. I got a tracking number & phoned them this morning because nothing has arrived. Hermes has lost the parcel somewhere, they are investigating but now I have to wait a minumus of 48 hours while they investigate & do a refund. I've reordered some of it but hermes are hopeless.

Thank you for shoe info MrsM

Love those boots Kitty

I've never been to Bicester. The length of the drive puts me off.

shopafrolic · 02/01/2020 14:40

Karcheer I used to work with them years ago (probably 12ish) and remember them telling me how they attract the Chinese tourists. Back then I used to get a discount and got some fab Boss black trousers that I adored (perfect fit and length). And loads of Mulberry bags and scarves.
Will definitely visit this year. Now that DS is at a different school with longer hours I reckon I could get there and back in a day.
Love the boots - perfect classic, and the kitten heels Apple, so pretty.

shopafrolic · 02/01/2020 15:28

Dream so annoying about delivery. Hermes have been lousy this Christmas.

MarshaBradyo · 02/01/2020 16:16

I know, hopeless. And Yodel who has lost a present but says delivered on tracking Hmm

kittyhello · 02/01/2020 16:30

I remember going to Bicester pre dc so > 14 years ago and couldn't believe how much it had changed. Justa put me onto it as I was admiring her Gucci scarf at a MU.

Dream it took about 2 hours to travel back from there, so perhaps a bit less for you. I went there as a detour on my way home from visiting my dm. Sorry to hear Hermes lost your stuff.

Marsha I hope your present turns up too.

MarshaBradyo · 02/01/2020 16:46

I’ve never been to Bicester! Like Shop though I had them as a client (so just worked with them not for them) on another project. They know who to target for sure.

MarshaBradyo · 02/01/2020 16:50

MrsM nice buys, love the jumpsuit in particular

Karcheer great boots really nice

Applefairy oh so pretty

Kitty I’m sorry to hear about your dfil Flowers
