Hello! I am so exhausted. my most challenging work week in months has just ended. I don't get that stressed but this week would have challenged anyone! think I will be going to bed early if I don't perk up!

lovely buys Sleep.

Mmm, just read the description again and it says 10% wool but doesn't mention the other fabrics. Maybe a typo?

That must be a typo surely, that 10% looks a bit lonely.

Just booked the dc in with the GPs too. So I'll be taking my grey suede Rossis out on Sat. Oh and dh too.

joke. I am really looking forward to it! Will be a blow out, as per usual.

See, I need some Rossis too but I just don't go out enough to justify the cpw.

and I prefer a round toe on heels any shoes

Out of interest, which Rossis are you talking about? The blue or the grey?

Really round toe! Linus what can I say I like both. But prefer round toe on flats I think. Let me ponder that, seems significant.

The grey! the grey the inaugural wear.

MU - need to add my name.

Nov 29th Sat - One, Liberty, Novice, Sleep, Shop, Marsha

Dec 6th One, Sleep, Shop (maybe) Mara

Dec 13th One, Novice, Sleep (she thinks), Shop, Mara, Marsha

So anyone else?

Mara if you could make the 29th Nov we'd be on to a winner! What are you doing on 29th?

Not round round but rounded like this

Pointy just looks odd on me I find. Those pink pointy Oasis flats look a bit wrong when I wear them.

Ah yep those, I like that shape

Pointy flats look wrong on me. I need the height to compensate for the increased size

Wher is the best place to buy Rossis in London? Might have to take DH as heels are the only shoes he wants to buy for me.

I think there's a Rossi store in London, oh yes Mount St. Conveniently next to Lanvin, Balenciaga and Stella and all those Linus

Dh isn't overly keen, thinks they're too high. But that's because I was blonde grunge light when he met me and he has fond memories of good old Cheap Mondays, a vagued out look and messed up hair.

Actually Vogue question. Has your style changed since you met your dh, how?

I used to be quite preppy when I met DH and whilst I still dress in a fairly classic way, I am more adventurous now. and I ditched the polo shirts with the collar turned up

lol! Before I moved into blonde-grunge-light I was Sloaney on other side of the world.

So pie crust collars, alice bands, blazers, scarves around the neck. Amazing

And collar turned up

Mine hasn't changed since I met Dp but has changed a lot since I was younger. I used to be very goth all corsets and fishnets haha

I was grunge light in between preppy phases! DM was not amused.

She almost had apoplexy when I told her wanted DM's.

One dh used to be best friends with a Spanish punk with the full mohawk, crazy outfits of incredible detail. We used to go out to that club in Angel and I'd put extra eyeliner on and mess up my hair a bit more

I worked at an investment bank when I met DH, so a much more classic dresser and off duty, prettier (clothes) I guess-now a bit tougher. My body is also very different now, I would wear lower cut tops and dresses pre-dc's (boobs were great then) but overall I am in better shape now so dress differently. Lifestyle obviously very different too! Great question Marsha! Lots to think about there .

lol Linus!

I didn't have DMs but I did wear lace up black ankle boots with knee high black socks.

Sleep your boobs are still great! Not that I looked of course!

OMG Marsha I can't picture you as a sloane ...,we need pics!

Oh I once dressed up as a Goth/Punk for a party when I was 17. Ripped tee with safety pins, ripped fishnet tights, shooort black skirt, black army boots, lots of black eyeliner and black fingernails.

Never had so much attention from the boys in my class......

Sleep a 17 year old Aussie Sloane practically living in the rural outback. What japes . All my photos are at home though! I must have something will think

Linus I bet
