I know you looked smashing!<br /> (OK, I have to google trilby now too :)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109669 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:21:48 +0000 Queen Mum 109669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>velvetychocolate- I had to google "trilby" too I feel more educated now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109667 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:14:41 +0000 Angie 109667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*. That's hilarious, Ele. I’d have *absolutely* sampled something from that creepy shop too. (I have an extremely sweet tooth. In fact, I don’t know anyone who has a sweeter tooth than I do. It sort of runs in my family. Unfortunately, we all have overly sweet teeth). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109664 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:10:18 +0000 Ele 109664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Angie- I never expected you to have tried one! I must admit, to my 17-year-old self it was delicious, though I'm not sure I'd feel the same today. In fact, I'd probably be too grossed out to try it- particularly as we bought them at a shop that advertised "Will deep-fry anything for £0.50" outside. Creepy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109662 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:02:07 +0000 Louise 109662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a fantastic party x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109656 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:25:54 +0000 Angie 109656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Ooooh! I’ve tried a deep fried Mars Bar! Sickeningly HEAVENLY).</p> <p>Juile, you are a fabulous story writer! Thanks for taking the time to write up a description of your wonderful day. I know you looked fabulous and am happy you were thanked for your hard work. Employers don’t always do that. Cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109649 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:50:51 +0000 velvetychocolate 109649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed reading about your experience at the staff holiday party - so richly detailed, I almost felt like I was sitting right next to you. I'm off to google 'trilby' - curious about the grey and burnt orange combo - sounds gorgeous. Also loved that tidbit about you feeling fabulous in your GAP dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109609 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:06:55 +0000 Queen Mum 109609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a fabulous time. I'm sitting here in my bathrobe, drinking my morning coffee living vicariously through you! Thanks for sharing. (and, I remember those days of coming in after an evening out and having kids up- kindof a let down after a nice relaxing evening, but that's life with wee ones!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109604 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:47:26 +0000 marianna 109604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Julie, sounds like an amazing time! And you are a talented writer. You have such an eloquent and beautiful writing style and your imagery is so vivid. Thanks for sharing with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109603 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:59:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 109603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never tried a deep fried Mars bar Ele, that was very brave. I'm so glad you survived to tell the tale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109601 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:53:02 +0000 Ele 109601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, I loved your description of your day- thank you! My sister went to university in Edinburgh for one year (she was on exchange from her uni in Canada) and the one week I spent visiting her was fantastic. There is such a sense of culture and vibrance in that city- we spent hours just walking around exploring. I remember one particularly delicious vegetarian restaurant (and that was way before I was veggie, so it must have been extra good!) that we ate at three times in two days. Oh, and I had my first (and last) deep-fried Mars bar </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109596 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:23:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 109596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your so sweet Agrace, I work in finance, numbers are my forte! Thank you again for asking about my night out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109594 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:19:13 +0000 agrace 109594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a wonderful telling! I felt like I was reading a little short story. Are you a writer? Anyways, great description. Really - felt like I was there. Sounds like an overall wonderful day. I particularly appreciate the 'real life' tidbit at the end about the two munchkins (that's what I call my two) being up....that is so something that would happen here. Sounds like you have a great time all around and I've no doubt you looked wonderful! Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109583 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 07:55:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 109583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agrace and Angie</p> <p>Thank you so much for thinking of me.</p> <p>We left the office at 11.00 am to take the short trip to Edinburgh, I wore my GAP silk dress, grey booties, black micro fishnets, pleated handbag and vintage style jet and diamante jewellery. I felt absolutely fabulous.</p> <p>We arrived in Edinburgh just before twelve and had a fabulous meal, I had steak frites and rum and raisin cheesecake which were both delicious. We where seated at an ideal table for people watching. George Street is very old money, the lady sitting next to me was wearing a Chanel Porcelain watch and Louboutins, I felt very proud to be holding my own wearing my half price GAP dress.</p> <p>The men loved the Ralph Lauren style of preppy look, lots of blue and white striped city shirts, worn with a blue v neck cashmere sweater, dark blue straight leg jeans and tan loafers. The ladies wore brightly coloured cashmere, pearls and cute puffers.</p> <p>In the evening we left the new town and visited the Grassmarket at the heart of the old town. In contrast to George Street the Grassmarket had a student, traveller vibe.</p> <p>The party at the APEX hotel was a real eye opener, the table next to our was loud and raucous. One of the girls was wearing a banded top as a dress and kept mooning to anyone all night. Best dressed of the evening was a lady wearing a grey felt sheath dress with a burnt orange trilby, she looked fabulous. </p> <p>I was true to my word and only drank four half glasses of champagne over the twelve hours and drank mostly water or lime and soda for the rest of the time. I think I will become t total from now as the alcohol did not add to the occasion for me. </p> <p>I arrived home at 1:00am to find both of the girls up. Emmy is teething and Teah had a nightmare. It took until after 3:00 am for the household to be sleeping soundly and I was so relieved I had consumed so little alcohol.</p> <p>Overall it was a fabulous day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109534 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 02:02:41 +0000 Angie 109534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Julie! Spill the beans about the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roseandjoan-holiday-party#post-109484 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:14:02 +0000 agrace 109484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgive me, as I cannot remember if it was this weekend or next weekend. But if it was this weekend, how did it go? Did your attire work out and did you find a good balance for the festive drinking? </p> <p>Just hoping you had a great time all around....but it may not be until next weekend. If that is the case, disregard! </p> <p>:) </p>
