I went to Westfield's shopping centre to day to meet up with Karen. As I was a bit early I did my shopping before I meet her so we could have a nice long Starbucks, which btw was buy one get one free, or BOGOF as people in the retail industry call it ;-) as Karen had a coupon. I like free things :-)

Today

I usually write in the morning but today I got out of bed at a decent time for a change and went to Canada Water and Decathlon. As we are going to Italy on Saturday I needed to buy a warm, down coat and so I found one in the sale and it looked decent as well. Don't think I'll be wearing it often so don't really care :-) It is black and puffy. Not going to show a picture as it was a boring shopping trip, also bought three pairs of skiing socks and a pair of knitted, cold weather gloves, Boring , ...

correction

this beautiful, cool dress is not £75 from Topshop it's actually £55, even better right?

tonight

hey again,
have just finished a long long conversation with Shirin about life. Life in Tensta and life in London, how different it is and how much harder it is in London than in Stockholm, in general. But how much I'd rather live in London than in Sweden. It's good that we come from the same place, almost the same background and the fact that we know what the the other one is talking about  and that the other one understands as no-one else will ever know what we are talking ab...

Devon

Am off to Canary Wharf in half an hour. I have these horrible cracks on my left and they are starting to hurt as well, so need to go to Boots the chemist to see if I can find a cream to sort it out.
Then I need to start packing for a long weekend in Devon. Going to see our friends Mark and Terry, who makes husbands race car. The plan is for the girls to go shopping tomorrow as the boys are talking cars and then dinner out and on Saturday we are all planning to go to a spa/adventure place, ...

Been unpacking the huuuge Tesco delivery this morning and thought I'd sit down with a lovely cup of Rooibos cacti tea and take a look at Elleuk.com and see what the fash-pack is saying about the latest trends as a treat for being such a good housewife and keeping my husband well fed :-) and this is what I found:

London today

I am finally home after trying to get Shirin a bank account!!! must be the most difficult thing to open here. Tried in three branches, and they finally gave in after we spoke to a manager who then spoke to the audit manager who approves the paper work, bloody hell!! So after a lot of travelling, from Redbridge to Canary Wharf to Marylebone road to Baker Street, little girl finally has a bank account and can be paid!!!!!

This is the next cool collection from H&M and their collaborations with designers. Following the lingerie collection by Sonia Rykiel, France's queen of cool, late last year, next Saturday is the launch day for her knitwear collection and looking at the H&M website I can see that there will be a big queue outside the selected stores and a rush to get them from the well dressed and in the know ladies of London and the rest of the world. Here is a link:

One of two lovely Mojitos me and Husband had at Sandersons Bar.

Westfield

So have been to Westfield for the third time in as many days. Husband needed ski boots for when we go to Italy and we also had a spontaneous lunch at Wagamama's with Piric family. Got home half an hour ago and am now getting ready for the great romantic dinner at Latium tonight. My lovely husband proposed to me on Valentine's day in New York 8 years ago and therefore we make a point of always celebrating it in style with presents, dinner and a few glasses/bottles of bubbly :-) think it;s a lovel...

Lady Gaga

Isn't this picture of Lady Gaga and Cindy Lauper amazing? I love that LG has the confidence to go out in public looking like that. Not even in  my own house would I be brave enough to wear briefs and boots :-) and Cindy Lauper, I mean how often have we seen anyone wear yellow leggings and yes, would not look good on everyone, but she definitely rocks them.

todays purchase...

Today I woke up at 11.45 this morning, well rested. Had a lovely shower to wash off last nights poker evening. and then I went to Westfield's shopping centre in West London and went window shopping with Helena. Was supposed to buy these shoes I've been eying up, but they were sold out. Even went to Aldo's both stores on Oxford street, with no luck :-( So instead after leaving Helena to take the bus home and recover from her cold I went to John Lewis on Oxford street and bought two new Chanel nai...

Dior Lipbalm

has any one tired this lip balm? Its amazing, very light and tastes of absolutely nothing. I bought it in Heathrow when i was flying to Stockholm a few weeks ago and I'm loving it and it looks good in your handbag. A little bit of Dior goes a long way ;-)

birthday party

So after yesterdays karaoke party, where I did sing but with everyone to else to Livin' on a prayer, I got very drunk. We took a cab home and I was called a crumpet :-) I think that is a complement and that is how I will take it ;-) Today we are going to Husbands nephew's 7th birthday party and even though there will be alcohol there I will try to not drink any and if I do I will try to stick to just one glass and remember to eat, I had no dinner last night and drinking four glasses of Rioja on ...

Spring cleaning

In trying not to spend any money, I today decided to spring-clean the house!! Since it's sunny and blue skies outside I pretended spring has arrived. So the house is now shining, I'm doing this weeks laundry and I have spent £0 today so far and it's 3.20 pm. I didn't do all the cleaning myself, had help from my little protoge Shirin and I'm not done yet, I have left the biggest, most time consuming job to last: My Wardrobe!!! It is in desperate need to be sorted out, it's just so big that it wil...

adore!!!

these are a cute, cheaper option to the Chanel clogs which start from £470, these ones are from Miu Miu and are £285. I wonder how I can get them into my wardrobe. Dont think my husband is linking me that much this week or any week for that matter :-)

Last night

Went out to dinner with 4 friends of ours to a place called Santa Maria del Sur which according to Gordon Ramsay is his best local steak restaurant. it was featured in the F word and went all the way to the semi final. It was a very nice place. i didn't book it for me as im not a big steak fan, but Husband is and he enjoyed it loads :-) me, i enjoyed the wine :-) a little too much i think as i think i got a bit drunk!! so no more alcohol for me this week, don't want to turn into a full-time alco...
