After my driving lesson, I got home and was a bit bored so I decided t go to Oxford street for some retail therapy (again) Went to New Look and River Island but neither had what I was looking for. So I went to Primark and bought a dress, a t-shirt and lots of accessories (which I will show you later). Also stopped by Swarovski to say hello to my friend Leila and the rest of the team.
Got home, changed to something more comfy and made dinner. Now watching Sex and the City
planning to read the ladies: Elle and Vogue US
as well as paint my nails
Perfect girlie evening :-)

My perfect end to the...

Whilst Husband was sorting out of drive, planting new mini trees, I went to Knightsbridge to have a Starbucks lunch with my stepbrother. After the tour of the new beauty department, I went to H&M for some retail therapy and actually tried things on! I usually just buy the items I like and try them on at home and they almost always fit me ;-) But now that I am slightly bigger ;-) I need to try things on. I haven't bought much maternity wear, as they are still so ugly, I just buy items in bigger sizes and make it work. Whoever thoght that fashion-concious women would stop caring when they got pregnant, is losing out bigtime! I believe there is big money to be made, but what do I know? ;-)
Anyway, this is what I bought:
Hot pink blouse with a exposed zip at the back
Plain white shirt with lace on the shoulders and in the neck
A thinly knitted jumoer perfect for early autumn
I also took the 137 bus from Sloane street to Oxford street adn popped into Marks&Spencers for this slip I saw on their website months ago. Will look perfect under that cobalt blue dress I almost wore the other day but had nothing to wear underneath it
And the new L'oreal eyeshadow that is suposed to be waterproof. Still need to try it, just need an event for it :-)
Tomorrow I am going shopping again, this time with my 6-year old niece. I am picking her up at 10.30 and then we are going to the BIG Primark on Oxford Street and then to Claire's accessories and then I think I'll take her to Pizza Express for lunch, sounds like a good, girlie date right? I need some plian black and white t-shirts so I think I'll go the men's department in Primark. Shirin went to the ladies last week and looked for round neck t-shirts for me, but they were sold out.
Hope you have a great Sunday :-D

Friday's shopping

Went to Kent last night to have three course dinner at sister in law's. Met Husband at the station as he was in west London helping friends to install their new kitchen. We had a really good time, I was tired as usual, but I think the painting of the little room killed me :-S
I decided to dress up properly though to forget about the tiredness.
Dress: Vintage by Beyond Retro, bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs, heels: Christina Louboutin
Make up: Mascara and eyepencil: Lancome, foundation and eyeliner: Chanel, highlighter: Benefit, eyebrow shadow and lipstick: Dior
Earrings: Mikey Jewellery bought in Topshop
Rings: xoxo by Tiffany&co, Crystal ring: Holly Fulton for Atelier Swarovski
Watch: Michael Kors
Heels (close up): Christian Louboutin
Just doing some silly "fashion blogger" poses ;-)
Today's outfit is a little less glamorous
Dress: Vintage by Beyond Retro,
All jewellery today is by Links of London. Also wearing my Tiffany&co ring and Michael Kors watch. I have a driving lesson at 1pm and then I am doing nothing for the rest of the day!! Husband is heloing out with the kichen today as well and Shirin has moved to her own flat now so the house is empty apart from Dodger (who spends his days sleeping on a very comfortable blanket) and I.
Next post, which will be up as soon as I have finished with ths one, will feature last Friday's shopping..

Harrods new beauty department look like this, all glossy, sleek and shiny
And this is Selfridge's new Christmas shop which opened this week
I wasn't impressed at first but then I saw this cute little bauble which I might have to get :-) it's £9.95
have been to the local private hospital where we had a 3D scan of the baby who was smiling or having gas throughout the scan, very cute. Then we went to dinner at a pub in Wanstead called The Cuckfield
We had good food but ended up next to the loudest table ever. Next time we will go on a non-Friday :-)
I did some shopping today as well but will show you tomorrow

Here are a few things I am loving at the moment (might be more than a few hahaha) It is my birthday in September and I always celebrate it like a child with parties and afternoon teas and dinner with Husband. Starting from the top:
SWAROVSKI:
BUTLER&WILSON
TOPSHOP
NEW LOOK
RIVER ISLAND
They are all accessorise for obvious reasons as not a lot on the high street fits me at the moment. Which one is your favourite?
All pictures are from the individual company's websites and if you click on their names they are all linked :-)

These seperate collars are all from Asos and start at £10. I think they are all fabulous and I want them all now :-) They will look so good with a plain t-shirt. I now have to go out and buy some plain T's.
I made some last year that I only wore occassionally.
I never wore the first one and only wore the second one once. Just need to get some t-shirts and I'll be wearing them this autumn. I like the collar trend... All pictures (except the last two) are from Asos website

We went to B&Q last night and bought these two colours for the little room where the baby will sleep. We know the sex but want to keep the room as neutral as possible.
Going to add these photos as well, once I have ordered them in a canvas print
We think it will look really nice. Don't want to clutter the room up as it is very small and we have to fit the furniture in there as well...

The shelves as they have been looking for the last 2 and a half years. Messy and unpresentable
After: alot tidier and more presentable
Only problem: I now have 6 rubbish bags full of books that I need to get to a charity shop. Hopefully Husband can help me one of these days :-)
spent a few hours with the pregnant ladies and then took the tube to Wanstead and had a coffee and a panini in Starbucks. Grazia kept me company...
