Happy Birthday Shop and Linus! Have a lovely day.

Novice - try and smile, I'm sure DD will have recovered quickly once at school Sad.

Have just ordered this belt that I asked dh for and didn't get. Wish I'd bought it in London now as I've just had to pay 6 quid delivery Shock.

Linus and Shop

Happy Birthday To You Flowers and Cake and Wine !!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Am Freezing today- so cold. Am in geometric midnight blue and white Pencil skirt, woolly black tights, ACNE shoe boots (old), old Helmut T shirt with twisted neck line and a vintage YSL Rive Gauche needlecord Tux style jacket bought from a consignment store in Cambridge back in 2004. Very cold. Outfit works well w/ my silver Luella bag.

Had a sleep filled weekend as my umpteenth course of dental antibiotics have knocked me for six. I really am at the end of my tolerance. So sozed in a chair w/ a pile of old US Vogues from 2001-3. Some gorgeous Narcisso Rodriguez silk dresses and Talbot camel coats in the editorials. And veru nice to see women actually wearing their coats properly. I for one am heartily sick of this silly habit of 'shoulder robing' ones coat. It looks ludicrous. (IMO). Very few women can carry it off and when men do it- there are no words.

Queen Bet you looked hot and what a lovely belt- kind of a pebble blue-grey. Very versatile.

Champagne breakfast was accompanied by Elemis facial - lovely!
Lovely colour belt QueenC how are the shakes?

What horrible weather, but I have had a lovely day so far.

First opening my presents in bed with DH and DC. Smile

DH got me this and I love it. He has obviously been looking at my pinterest boards.

Mine looks a bit more blue IRL but maybe it's the lighting. I did have to go and exchange it for a smaller size, but DH had one put aside just in case.

And DMIL sent me a lovely Le Pliage shopper in a gorgeous plum colour. DM paid towards my bikers when I bought them in the summer and I have been wearing them today as it is so wet outside.

I had a quick lunch in town with a friend and then a make-over at Nars. I might have bought a bit too much make-up as a result. Blush

Oh and I managed to forget a shopping bag in a department store, but I rang them and they have found it. Phew. It only had three pairs of knickers in them but still relieved I can go and pick it up next time I'm in town.

I should try and do something about my hair before going out tonight but there's really no point as the rain will mess it all up again.

How was your lunch shop ?

novice (((hugs))) That must have been so hard on you and DD.

dry that is a lovely jacket you bought for DH. Oh and I saw your Christmas jumper at Zara and it looks lovely. They also had it in navy and a lovely anthracite grey.

queenc that is a great belt!

foxy fingers crossed about the sweater!

QueenCadbury · 04/11/2013 14:41

Shakes come and go. I'm having to eat very regularly to stop feeling so faint! I didn't think I'd drank that much as I can remember the whole evening Grin.

Glad you're having a good day though shop

hola mamma. stick around, bring link Grin

am just peeling myself up off the floor after the revelation that kitchen makers want £60 PER BASKET for the ones I presumed were included in our larder pantry. fucking hell! I'd expect it to be gold plated for that. or include a cashmere sweater or something.

off to check out pin queenc (sorry forgot to reply to pm but yes! Wink)

foxysocks · 04/11/2013 17:19

have commented. LOVE LOVE LOVE the bag but the lining makes me want to stick sharp pins in my eyes just so I never have to see it again. WHY, MJ, why on EARTH would you ruin your gorgeous squishy beautiful bags with this? TELL ME.
