Phew! here you are lost you all for a minute

DryWhiteagainW · 02/03/2020 22:42

wow

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2020 22:44

They are nice!

As an aside I get the fashion shows on Instagram and I’ve noticed an uptick in shoes that models can barely walk in

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2020 22:47

Apple I used to shop in second hand stores and even made my own stuff way back in early twenties. I liked the creativity too.

Everyonelovessparkles · 03/03/2020 10:15

Love those red shoes dry.

Does any one have any experience of Sergio Rossi shoes? I’ve seen These and am really tempted as have fancied a pair of like this for ages. I was going to try the LK bennet ones as there is 25% off but some reviews I read said they weren’t worth the money so don’t mind spending more of it’s worth it.

Applefairy · 03/03/2020 12:27

Everyone, I have those SR shoes in a warm grey. I like them - classic, safe - they haven’t dated. Also not too high (for me anyway). They are quite conservative (good for me for work) and less dramatic/softer in statement than, say, a Gianvito Rossi or Jimmy Choo shoe in a similar style.

For this price, you should be getting the perfect court shoe - feeling super flattering and elegant on you.

Everyonelovessparkles · 03/03/2020 13:08

Thanks apple. Are they true to size or do you recommend sizing up a half size?

Applefairy · 03/03/2020 14:27

I have two pairs of SRs (the others are sandals) - both are true to size in my normal size 35.

Everyonelovessparkles · 03/03/2020 14:59

Thanks apple. I’ve ordered a pair Grin now, just went for my normal size.

kittyhello · 03/03/2020 18:26

Every I love those SR shoes, I have the LKB ones, Florissa I think, they no longer do them I've had them for years and they still look great but if I had the option the GR ones would be my shoe of choice. Let us know how they are.

Apple i also love your GR shoes too ,such a classic style.

Caroline sorry to hear you are still poorly and hope you recover soon. Flowers

Marvellous gorgeous Loewe bag link

Fab links Dry

I've just bought some boring basic staples

www.johnlewis.com/and-or-tank-top-cotton-t-shirt/white/p3899610tanks I bought them in white, grey and black they're thin, non fleece sweatshirt type material.

This ruffle blouse

I'm buying more for my top half than my bottom half as I need to shift 1/2 a stone and then I can wear more of my wardrobe. That's also another reason I haven't bought much as I need to shift those pounds first!

kittyhello · 03/03/2020 18:28

messed up the link

justasecond · 03/03/2020 20:01

Lovely ruffle blouse kitty very you!
I have similar SR heels Every totally worth paying the extra imo (although mine were a bargain from Bicester) I really notice the difference between those and ones ones I have from LK Bennett. I can walk for ages in the SR. The Lk ones just look nice Smile
I have broken my no spending run. Have ordered a load of slim/straight jeans from Arket, Stories, Topshop and Mango. Have already tried and sent back the Weekday ones I linked a while back, horribly unflattering on me. Will link any keepers when they arrive.
Have also bought these 3 eyebrow products which are all great
prefer this to glossier boy brow
a long time favourite
good for sparser brows
Have had a slightly eye watering quote for new kitchen so I am still reigning in spending until I know how much its all going to cost Shock

Hope you feel better soon caroline

CarolineBingley · 03/03/2020 20:06

I love those shoes Everyone. My only point I that don't keep them if they're too pointy and uncomfortable. They look beautiful though.❤️

Thanks Kitty. I thought I had escaped this winter with only one bout of illness but never mind.

CarolineBingley · 03/03/2020 20:17

I would love to be able to wear that blouse. It's very you Kitty!

Justa you have great eyebrows so I bet that's a good recommendationGrin

kittyhello · 03/03/2020 20:29

Thanks Caroline you and Karcheer were ahead of the curve

Scarlett Moffatt in her white mules brr her feet must have been cold.

and again

I'm a wuss my feet are firmly covered up in layers of socks and boots etc I saw a woman on Sunday wearing sandals. It's not quite spring yet!

Everyonelovessparkles · 04/03/2020 09:50

Sorry, I realised I hadn’t posted for ages then came on with a post all about me Blush.

Hope you are feeling better caroline I had a cold the other week that just wouldn’t go. Ye, will definitely only keep the shoes if they are comfortable - life is too short to have sore feet Grin.

Nice buys kitty. You always look really good in a nice blouse and jeans.

Good luck with the jeans justa. I like the Marion straight style from lee. They are a bit more fitted on me than the model but I find them quite flattering.

Well done on the no / less spend months to justa and mrsm. I always find it difficult at this time of year as it’s the sale dregs so the chance to bag a ‘bargain’ as well as the new summery stuff that is cheerful after the miserable winter weather, that I often use new purchases as a way to cheer myself up.

Themarvellousmrsm · 04/03/2020 15:42

Not sure on those white mules but do like Scarlet’s cream jacket.

Nice blouse Kitty and lovely classic courts Everyone

I came across this podcast recently and it’s definitely worth a listen - I know we all love Trinny - she’s episode 5

I’m having an anti ageing facial later - a Xmas gift Hmm. Have had a chat with my beautician and will be having microdermabrasion but she suggested waiting until the autumn.

Karcheer · 04/03/2020 21:02

Hello,

I had a feeling those shoes would come a thing.

*ever

Karcheer · 04/03/2020 21:07

@Everyonelovessparkles I’ve a couple of SRs find them very comfy.

My big news is! We went via Heathrow to Sri Lanka and I might’ve popped into Chanel and got [[

Karcheer · 04/03/2020 21:07

The Black and Tan ballet flats 😊

MarshaBradyo · 04/03/2020 21:14

Wooh Karcheer

MarshaBradyo · 04/03/2020 21:16

Kitty you are so good with blouses

MrsM how was it? (Beautician)

MarshaBradyo · 04/03/2020 21:18

Everyone very nice, did they arrive?

kittyhello · 04/03/2020 22:06

Cmon Karcheer link your shoes! I need to swoon. Am feeling decidedly left out that I haven't got any tan and black shoes. Grin

DryWhiteagainW · 04/03/2020 22:36

I’m jealous Karcheer fab
