Ms B and you are a stylish pair,</p> <p>I think polls are wrong because of the demise of land lines..... I did hear Jacinda was the most trusted PM in an Australian poll:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028523 Sun, 19 May 2019 02:28:38 +0000 Alicewonderland 2028523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice trench and outfit for dog walking. Bumbags are good things. I like your plaid version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028515 Sun, 19 May 2019 02:02:46 +0000 Brooklyn 2028515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aquamarine, Shevia and Taylor. Ms B is indeed the star of any photo. Even when being uncooperative.</p> <p>Shevia, it was a surprise result. Polls getting it wrong seems to be the new norm in politics. But I won’t say anything more either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028509 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:49:46 +0000 taylor 2028509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous, bumbag and all!<br /> Miss B however is a scene stealer:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028503 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:45:34 +0000 Jaime 2028503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and Miss B look fabulous!

Yours is way more stylish! </p> <p>Also, great trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028287 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:45:37 +0000 Brooklyn 2028287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bennett, yes! Sara L never has this problem. Her cat is ALWAYS in the photo.</p> <p>Sterling, thanks! Actually I never abandoned the bum bag either. Too useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028284 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:41:01 +0000 Anonymous 2028284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ADORABLE dog!!! &nbsp;Both of you look happy and healthy. &nbsp;Of course your trench coat looks fabulous on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear fanny packs when I hike. &nbsp;They are extremely useful. &nbsp;I would never consider not owning one. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028283 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:39:10 +0000 Bennett 2028283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another reason to love cats: they ALWAYS want to be in&nbsp; the picture!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028280 Sat, 18 May 2019 14:35:03 +0000 Brooklyn 2028280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAileen. Mr Skunky looks adorable having a sleep in! Sooo relaxed. Ms B has a summer and a winter bed. She prefers the elevated trampoline bed during warmer weather. It’s been too warm to get out her snuggly winter bed. But we have one sitting here waiting for the cooler weather. New with tags still on :)</p> <p>Thanks Mainelady. Glad you like the plaid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028266 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:56:46 +0000 Mainelady 2028266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do in the trenches sooooo well! I like your bumbag.....and of course love the plaid. I would wear a fanny pack (what we call them here) across my chest and shoulders, but probably not around my waist.<br /> Ms. B is. Cutie....she looks like quite a love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028262 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:46:36 +0000 JAileen 2028262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your trench looks great, and your belt bag looks good too. But I’m impressed with Ms B’s bed - elevated and cushiony. It looks pretty relaxing. Here’s Mr Skunky sleeping in this AM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028257 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:38:44 +0000 Brooklyn 2028257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks suntiger. I think they are sometimes called belt bags now. Trying to disown that 90s fashion faux pas status I suspect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028244 Sat, 18 May 2019 13:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 2028244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww Ms B-what a nice pettable belly! And you made me laugh with the word bumbag Trench looks great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028241 Sat, 18 May 2019 12:54:05 +0000 Brooklyn 2028241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ChristeIJ, it’s a very fashion forward look. Not for the faint hearted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028238 Sat, 18 May 2019 12:49:05 +0000 ChristelJ 2028238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing it on you, the bum bag has become my new "must-have"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028229 Sat, 18 May 2019 12:30:00 +0000 Brooklyn 2028229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. That’s much cooler than here. We are expecting 26 on Tuesday. It’s nice that it’s no longer humid and it cools down at night. </p> <p>I love election night coverage. Ms B has lost interest (see pic). Antony Green for PM is say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028221 Sat, 18 May 2019 12:15:20 +0000 Bijou 2028221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look super stylish dog walking. I love the bum bag in particular and Mrs B is as gorgeous as ever. </p> <p>We have beautiful sunny days but cooler temps. Only a max of 17C here today. I am curled up on the sofa with Bijou and Margot watching the results too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-trenches-with-bijou-mainelady#post-2028190 Sat, 18 May 2019 10:07:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2028190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I wanted to participate in Bijou’s trench challenge but it’s still quite warm here. We are having daytime maximum temperatures of 21-24 C (mid 70s). However, it is much cooler at night. So I cheated and wore a trench tonight for my evening dog walk.</p> <p>This trench is from ASOS. It’s quite lightweight, so it’s good for my climate. I do have a lovely teal one from Hobbs but it’s a heavier material and it’s still too warm to wear it.</p> <p>In homage to Mainelady’s Burberry trench I wore my “Burberry” bumbag (I believe Americans call them fanny packs.) It’s actually by Monki (from ASOS) but the pattern is similar to the Burberry pattern. </p> <p>Now, I suspect most of you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a bumbag but I find them handy for dog walking when it’s good to be hands free and travel light. I wear mine draped side saddle across my back. It’s easier to access than a backpack because you can just swivel it around to reach into it rather than having to take it off your shoulders. The item description for the bumbag on ASOS was “fashion faux pas becomes fashion hero”. I wonder if others here would agree :)</p> <p>Bonus pics: me trying to persuade Ms B to pose for a mirror selfie with me and my trench coat. It’s harder than you think!</p> <p>Tonight is a big night for Aussies. We had a general election today and, like many, I will be staying up to watch the results. Hope all the Aussies here have a good night. And, to everyone else, have a good weekend </p>
