Fashionistas daily thread, Friday 26th June.

[Kaz2904]

Morning lovelies! Right now I'm in nasty nylon.
In about 4 hours I'll be in nowt because it's blimmin boiling.
In 11 hours I'll be in my red/white matalan dress because it's boiling! I'll wear my silver pumps and probably forget jewellery.
I had a little mooch around the French connection sale last night (that I accidently discovered!) and may have found some dresses to buy. About £50 worth but originally much much more!
It depends on whether they're still available when I get home today!
See you later......

[Floss]

Hello - I thought I was early today, but Kaz beat me to it!

Slightly more casual today, as I have a 240 mile drive facing me after work.....and then am away until next week, so I will have lots of catching up to do when I get home!

Black linen trousers (Next clearance sale)
White sleeveless top (M & S via charity shop)
Striped 3/4 sleeved shrug (Per Una via Ebay)
Cream leather slip-ons (Asda)

I'm not listing fully whats in my case, but there are jeans, crops, t-shirts, vest tops, a chiffon tunic, a couple of cardi/shrugs, dress, undies, fleece & hoodie + Converse, trainers, wedge sandals & walking shoes! I've got a busy few days planned - visiting OH in South Wales, then driving to the Big Smoke to help move DS2 from one side of town to the other, then driving back up to the Lancashire coast on Wednesday.

Have a great day & a fab weekend!

[Cinny91]

Morning!
Finally debt free from my parents so I'm heading to the sales to find a bargain. Need a new dress in celebration!

[floss2]

That's a lot of driving Floss, I hope you have plenty of sweeties......

Sweeties, bananas, sandwich, cereal bars, water, radio & CD's.......leaving at 5pm, should arrive about 10ish, depending on traffic! Not sure about going to London tho...am hoping to be there by lunchtime but have no real idea how far or how long I'm looking at :confused:

[floss2]

....Floss - Jealous of your holiday, hope you have fun! Not so jealous of the 240mile drive though, best crack the werthers out!

I'm not sure that helping a 21 yr old to pack his stuff the day after he gets home from Glastonbury & 10 days before he goes to South America for the summer is really going to be fun, plus I've never driven across London before (Kingston to Forest Gate - anyone got any clues?).....hey ho, won't just be Werthers, might even be Starbursts too! (now they were PROPER car sweets when I was a kid, under their real name of course!)

[Phudge]

Morning girls! You're all sounding fabulous today :T Kaz, you were up so early!! And Floss, have a good trip x

Today I am wearing white linen wide leg trousers, white vest top and turquoise and white kaftan thingy and aqua/turquoise resin necklace. White leather bag and turquoise pumps. Not really the weather for white linen as it stormed last night but as it wasn't raining this morning I wore them anyway....

I've been to have a pedicure and an eyebrow shape which was a really nice treat and my tootsies are looking very lovely if I say so myself :D

Weather's fab again today, ds1(nearly 14) is off to do his duke of edinburgh this weekend (sob, sob) so have been sorting his stuff this morning, ready for him to pack when he gets in from school. I will miss him, but i'm sure he won't miss me lol (clingy mum syndrome) the house will be very quiet without him, the other three will miss him aswell.

Today i am wearing my maxi dress from peacocks (after much discussion with hubs/sis/friend) i don't look pregnant in it!! Ohh the releif!!! got my silver toeposts from barratts and lots of mis-matched bangles. Havn't really got a handbag, just took my twiggy m&s out with me when i went shopping.

As it is friday i'm going round to my friends later for a natter and a couple of glasses of wine. Havn't really got any plans for the weekend but i'm sure something will crop up.

Floss, hope you have air con for your 240 mile trip!!

Bye for now Sharron xx

[FairyShazza]

Today I am wearing a brown v neck top from M & S with a skirt from Peacocks which has different colours of brown in a floral pattern on it and black shoes. First time I’ve worn the skirt and the top and I am loving them together :D Have accessorised with some silver earrings which have brown discs hanging from them from Asda.

Having a BBQ for hubbys birthday tomorrow so need to think about what I want to wear. Need to look casual but still as fabulous as possible as I will be the hostess – just hope this rain which is currently upon us has gone by then!

Everyone’s outfits sound great today :)

Never enough bags you know:rotfl:Off the top of my head I will try to list them

2 Chloe paddington - one black, one beige (beige one has a burnt handle from catching alight on a candle, I tie a scarf round it to cover it but its put me off the bag cos when it burst into flames it scared me:()

1 Chanel chainmail
1 white Fendi spybag
1 Gucci shopper
1 Fendi clutch
1 Fendi Shopper
1 LV baguette
1 LV rectangular (small) (daughter has stolen this)
1 LV rectangular (med) new summer style, has orange underneath and lots of holes
1 LV cream patent bowling bag
1 Prada nylon across the body (daughter has also stolen this)
about 5 different burberry bags (I used to live near the warehouse)

Various other bags from French Connection, Hobbs and one from next.

I am going to start a Mulberry collection next.

I don't think theres space to include purses (which of course have to match the bag) and weekend bags:rotfl:.

I moved house 2 years ago and had a huge clearout, this is the paired down version to say the least, I have very happy friends;)

[floss2]

Never enough bags you know:rotfl:Off the top of my head I will try to list them.....

I've just started a thread about this question!

[sharronloves2spend]

woweeeeeeeeeeee glowgirl i wish i was your (non virtual) friend, that's impressive how long did it take you to collect that many??? And where do you usually buy them from??? And does yor other half know????

So many questions........

can u remember ur virtual friends when u next feel the need to offload lol

[tara747]

Ooooh so many designer handbags... how much did they all cost? I will take some off your hands if you ever run out of space. :D

[glowgirl]

I've been a bag lady all my life, even as a kid but only had the means to go designer in the past 10 years or so, sometimes I save up, sometimes I buy second hand and sometimes I exchange. Before I moved I had a lot of contacts who would have samples etc and sell them to me for good prices and of course there is always the sales.


And does yor other half know????


He cant really miss them:rotfl:I pay for them myself and we're not sitting here starving because of my bag addiction so no problem:)

[Kaz2904]

Have to admit to having been spectacularly cheesed off with DH last night. I'd marked 2 dresses on the French Connection sale and hadn't had a chance to complete the sale. I phoned him from work at about 9 to ask him to just finish buying them and he refused to do it. He was already on the computer he just couldn't be bothered. I told him that I would be lucky if they were still there by the time I got home this morning and he poo pooed me. Our internet lets us shop from 4-5.30 at work so I checked it then and the dress was gone.
Not a happy bunny. So I've been on ebay and done a BIN on a BNWT for £13.50 (only that's so cheap and there were 2 that I bought both but shh!). I will resell one or both. I think I can make a little bit of a profit on the £13.50 I paid.
I'm not wearing my dress, I've got my cropped jeans (tesco £10) with a pale pink topshop cotton cap sleeve top (free) and my silver pumps (asda £8).
Later on will be back into the scrubs.

[sharronloves2spend]

Hope you've packed his waterproof....and some sweeties for the midnight feast!

Yes, lots of sweeties packed, just seen him off, he's like 'go mum' and i'm close to tears. made sure he had muscle rub too, i'm sure he will need it!! Am gonna miss him tho:confused: even tho he's highly irritating most of the time, hormones eh..

[sharronloves2spend]

glowgirl, i only ask as i think my dh wouldn't even notice and as he earns the money and i spend it, he wouldn't even notice the credit card bill lol

Kaz, men eh?? they really don't get it!!

Don't know if i mentioned that i'd ordered a cape from asos, well it came and it's beautiful!! Purpley cashmere lined with patterned silk, can't wait for winter!!! (of course i'm joking)

Sharron xx

Hello everyone

Weather was a bit weird here today, cloudy but very close and muggy.
Anyway, my outfit today was
Black Skinny jeans (DP's)
All different colour pinks patterned long vest tunic top (New look)
Pink short cardigan (New look)
Black ballerina pumps
Black beads
Silver stud earrings
Silver tissot watch
Black shoulder bag

About bags...... I'm not fanatical about them and i dont even have many. I tend to use the same one all the time. Don't buy expensve ones either. Think its because I'm just generally carp at putting things together.
