Just spent our lunch-hour sitting outside the pub across from the office, with the sun beating down on my back while eating a huge chicken salad........ we were SOOOOOOOO tempted to order a big cold pint of beer but probably would have spent the afternoon :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: so thought better of it! :lol:
This is what is ahead of us ladies!!!!!!!! :cool: :)
Answer:
It's dull and overcast here in Bristol. :boohoo: Where's the sun gone?
Answer:
We did that last week when the weather was really nice Shiny. It makes you REALLY not want to come back to work though doesn't it !!
Although we did buy a huge glass of wine so that could have something to do with it !:whistle:
It's not very warm here today though :(
Answer:

GATC and anyone else who has the Office 'Emily' boot
What do you wear them with?
Mine have just arrived and I love them, but am a bit :cmdunno: about how to wear them. I know that's it's nearly summer now so not boot-buying season, but I've been lusting after them all winter and gave in when they were reduced.
GATC- I'm not imagining you having a pair am I? :yaright:
Answer:
When I first saw the title to this, I thought "Emily boot", nah never heard of them, I didn't realise that's what they are called :o
Woo hooo yes I have Emily boots in the grey, like your pic. I wore them to the Brum meet so that's where you would have seen them.
I have forgotton about them actually but when I've worn them in the past it's been grey/black or indigo skinnies tucked into them. I would also wear shorts or pretty little dresses with them.
I really love them and they are so comfy, far better IRL than in the pic IMO. I was tempted to get them in another colour actually.
Answer:
Hurrah, I didn't imagine it :yay:
I was wondering about them with skirts and dresses but wasn't sure if they'd make my legs look chunky by covering up my ankles.
I think I need to have a mass trying on session :think:
Thanks lovely :kiss:
Answer:
I also have them (Well, the primarni version which are exactly the same) and wear them with skirts/dresses or skinnies
they are very versatile and I'm sure you'll get more wear out of them this winter if it's too warm just now
Answer:
Hi shiniaholics :wave: , I bought them in teal a year ago and they're my favourite boots! I wear them with skirts and dresses and they look really cute, they don't make legs chunky at all! I love them because they look vintage and they're so comfy. ;)
Cant find the shoes I want
NO.3. ask :
Cant find the shoes I want
In my head I know exactly what I want but just cant find them!!
Wedges or Thick soles (Mary jane style chunky). Not too high as I want them for day to day use.
Brown/Tan (or could go blue).
Perhaps a strap with a cute button.
Not too expensive (but havent even managed to find many expensive ones either).
Checked out all the usual suspects but just cant seem to find what I would have thought would have been a popular style.
Any ideas?
Answer:
Would this kind of thing do?
they are from topshop, quite old but some shops still have them and there are always plenty on ebay
Answer:
I looked at something slightly similar today in NL, but wasn't sure about the suede. Do you have them? Are they comfy?
Answer:
What about the ones that some of the girls have from peacocks? think they are only £12.
Think it was Sammeh who has recently got some :)
Answer:
I did see on the shoe porn thread some yellow ones - they'd be cute in another colour (dont really own anything yellow!). Might check Peacocks tomorrow, as I missed it out today.
Floaty / Hippy Long Dress - Miss Selfridge??
NO.4. ask :
Floaty / Hippy Long Dress - Miss Selfridge??
I need to find a picture that I actually saw on here - it was a long floaty/hippy style dress and I thnk it was from Miss Selfridge - can anybody find the pic for me?
If not of that - then similar - have a friends wedding on 4 May - and seeing as though I have knees that resemble Farleys Rusk (yes you read right) - I prefer all my dresses to cover the said rusks!!! :lol:
Thanks for your help!
Answer:
Was it the festival dress?
Answer:
How about this one from Primark? I have been stupidly lusting over this for the past couple of days!
Answer:
That Primark one is gorgeous - is it in stores yet?
Answer:
I don't know!! :boohoo: I'm going tomorrow, I'll let you know if I find it!
Why is it that...

.... whenever I'm about to meet a bagger I get spots :eek:
I never get spots on my chest, yet now the sun is shining and I was going to wear my lovely new sundress into Brum I wake up looking like Harry Enfield in Kevin and Perry?
Tis all you Birmingham baggers faults :head:
Answer:
LOL its sods law isnt it, I always seem to get spots before a night out.
Answer:
Sods law exactly *nods*
To make it worse, my next day delivery DP order isn't here and the website doesn't recognise my tracking number. I need the order for tomorrow as it has the crops I want to wear in it.
Now I have a spotty chest and no trousers :head:
Answer:
Aww bloody sod's law...it's rubbish isn't it? It's for the same reason that you wait in *all* day for a delivery, and it comes the minute you decide to pop to the corner shop, as happened to me this morning :lol:
I'm sure you'll look gorgeous whatever you wear hun! What are your DP crops like? I bought some cropped skinny jeans from DP the other day and I am *so* impressed with them! They've got some lovely clothes in lately :great:
Answer:
I've even checked in case they left it on the doorstep or behind the wheelie bin, which is what they did last time even though I was home!
Grrrr...
What colour crops did you get from DP GJ? They had so many lovely ones on the site it was hard to choose!
I went for one pair of crops and one pair of ankle length jeans:
I'm so short of summer clothes at the moment!
