First up an apology, DD2 has been a nightmare for 4 months so I have lurked but not posted in ages. I'm barely hanging in there with tiredness. The joys of the non-sleeper...

I have a challenge for next week. I'm off to a gig in London with some youngsters (all child free), I've got backstage passes and nothing but Uniqlo jumpers and jeans to fit at the moment.

What the heck do you were to a gig these days? My friends were all at the EMAs I'm Glasgow so you appreciate my dilemma Smile

The Zara lace or the pleather dress Littlepink?

If you mean the pleather, I have the medium, I'm 28-30E/F, on top I'm usually a 12, sometimes a 10, it's a good fit. V flattering on.

Pleather, I'm a 32E and a 12.

Just online doing the girls Chrimbo order so I might put it in my bag too, thanks!

How's the head today?

I was destroyed today! Destroyed! And sugar cravings all day. Had stollen for breakfast and the sugar theme continued for the day. I should be in bed at this stage really, but am stuck to the sofa.

How's the sleep in your house?

Oh don't mention stollen. I adore it.

Re sleep - I'm hungover and one of the girls crawled in w us just after 6am. About to hit the coffee machine again. Maybe the third time is the charm.

Trying to resist ordering the Zara blue lace dress, the & Other Stories green silk dress, and some Zara ankle boots.

Gosh I've been lazy with posting recently.

We are in tatters with lack of sleep but first nursery intro session today and the little rotter was great Smile

Zara pleather has arrived, I love it but I need an L rather than an M. It's a lot nicer than it looks online and it looks more expensive than it is.

It's a great dress isn't it? Zara sizes are v inconsistent. I wore it out on Friday, lots of compliments. I fancy a furry/pony hair/textured clutch with it. Maybe even a leopard print.
Thankfully all the stollen is well gone, otherwise I wouldn't be wearing the dress too often! I am still tempted by the Zara blue lace but have resisted so far. Don't need it but love it.

Good the nusrery session went well, hope the sleep settles for you soon.

It's a very nice dress.

DH is currently laughing at my jigsaw pom pom keyring. He doesn't understand it.

I don't either but it's cute. That's the point yes?

Quickly sharing this... Although after my Black Friday Gap code debacle (aka posted a code that didn't work) am a leetle nervous

Yes the pom pom is cute, no question!

Thanks for the Zara code Belinda. Zara aren't usually ones for blanket discounts, their sales can be mean. They don't exactly give away the farm.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this to wear with coated black skinny jeans. I am going out with my DH for for the first time in 18 months for a lunch and a dinner. Both are pretty smart places in Mayfair/Knightsbridge. I am agonising over what to wear...I don't want anything smart and Corporate-ish or very casual so that rules out my whole wardrobe pretty much.

Littlepinkpear · 28/11/2014 08:53

Butwhere - finally heading into town after 3 weeks of illness so will have a look.

Belinda - great recommendation on the maybelline colour drama pencils. They are excellent for £4 (tesco price) and smell amazing.

Well, despite my disappointment at the Zara 30% off being a technical error (Zara tweeted me), and it's just 20% off a selection of things, I'd recommend looking at this jacket

Oh and yes, I love the Maybelline lip pencils - wearing Red Essential today. I feel more glam than normal Enjoy!
