Wasn't today a gorgeous day? Hope you've had a lovely start to the week.
I had today off and spent it in the west end with my mummy. We had a lovely day in the sunshine. Met up around 10am (well, probably more nearer 10:30am cos of course i was late) and didn't get home til 8:30pm which for my mum is a really really long day cos bless her cotton socks she's not getting any younger. And it was extra special cos when i was a care free youngster living at home we use to go out shopping quite often (I get my shopping bug from both parents) but since I've moved out we've only been a handful of times (to do what i consider 'proper' shopping which means several hours of pounding the pavement as opposed to a quick trip to lakeside in the car - that's for wimps).
We ate KFC for breakfast (cos that's how we roll!) lol and for dinner we ate at Wong Kei's in China Town (a day out with my mum always ends at China Town - it's our homing instinct lol!). It was so hot that I wasn't at all peckish (actually I had a jam doughnut on the tube in the morning) but we got through tons and tons of water and (Diet) coke.
The worst part of my day was when i was alone on the way to meet her. It probably didn't help that I had slathered myself in baby oil because i looked like a walking talking orange highlighter but people were staring at me, pointing and laughing. I was mortified. And then when i et with my mum I had to endure more staring and she laughed til she cried. Cow. Got more stares on the tube (i tried to hide my feet under my handbag) but once we got to the west end it was ok.
[Me....not blatantly orange thank god!]First stop was Victoria to exchange the shirts I got for my dad for fathers day and i also got my mum a t shirt. And then we got the bus to Marble Arch and that's where we got down to business.
I will do a seperate haul on what I brought but here's a quick update on the status of yesterday's 'July' shopping list....
Searched and searched every Boots for a hair doughnut but no luck. But no worries, will just grab one from Claire's Accessories. Amazingly what I did get my hands on were a maxi dress and shoes....aka the most random stuff off my list!
The maxi dress is a black strapless one, £9 from primark. Erm, not much to say really, it's long, black with no straps(!) I'm not sure if it's a keeper, only because i hate my arms and not sure if I'm confident to wear it out on the street. Definitely can't wear it at the moment because if you think the 'tan' on my limbs are bad you should check out my chest and back. Basically you can see the hand marks where i stopped applying the tan. I hope my 'tan' fades before summer ends!
Shoes....on my list I put clogs and I did see beautiful clogs,,,
[Above: Clogs from Office. Gorgeous! But not a practical buy. Can't walk in them. And what would I wear them with? And where would I wear them? And they weren't cheap either]
[Below: Clogs from Primark. Came in different colours (black, tan and a denim but slightly different style from the one below - a bargain £20 - if I'm still craving clogs I'll get these]
...but they were toooooo high so I got these.
[Above and below: shoes from Evans. Actually one that I saw online on my dreaded ASOS night so not just a impulse buy. They were marked down, £20 instead of £35, and when I got to the till they were £10!!!!! BARGAIN!!!]
And i LOVE them. Not sure if I can walk in them, I've got a bit of a overweight Bambi waddle when I'm in heels but nevermind they are gorg! So even though they are not clogs I think I'm satisfied - they tick my chunky clunky footwear.
That's it for now,
Ciao!
(Ooooh! Quick ASOS update: the deliver came just before 3pm but i missed it (got a card in my mailbox) - it says they will try to delvier again tomorrow, fingers crossed i don't miss it!!!)
