Good morning ladies!

Bright and early (for me!)

Off to the hairdressers this morning and a chance to read this month's "Conde Nast Traveller" from cover to cover without having to buy it!.......well I can dream, can't I?!!:D

Layering on my black jumper dress from TU, £6 sale bargain, long flecked cardi/coat/ brown OTK boots and my luxurious (feel the difference!)John Lewis black opaques that are usually saved for 'best' but are the only intact pair I can find this morning!

There's a Thorntons a few doors away from the hairdressers.....might just have to pop in afterwardsfor some stocking fillers!

Enjoy the day!

Morning ladies!

Alex - gorgeous top. Well done on your weight loss, absolutely fantastic. I've got several friends who constantly try and fail with their diets so I understand how difficult it must be.:T

LiR and Daisy - good luck at the Doc's!

Bronnie - Have a lovely pamper at the hairdressers.

I've had a yoga session this morning and am popping over to my mum's later to rummage in her loft. When I left home 24 years ago:eek: I left some of my best vintage gear behind (too scared to leave it hanging around in some of the dodgy shared houses I lived in) and it appears to have vanished without trace, she swears it's bagged up and in the house somewhere - I'd be sooooo excited if we could find it!

Today's uninspired outfit (feels so boring after my Amy Winehouse number):

Purple hareems (Car boot)
Black long sleeved skinny top (Mango via Car boot)
Washed out Ramones teeshirt (Jumble sale)
Silver tribal jewellery (India)
Peacock feather earrings (Urban Outfitters via Car boot)
Hair up in a big messy bun, transfer tattoos still intact!

Have a happy monday!!

That was so lovely and so in the spirit of what Christmas should be about!

If I find those clothes I'll post 'em on my blog later - fingers crossed!

My mum is a ridiculous horder now but strangely wasn't back in the day. I shudder to think of all the Biba stuff she's binned.

My mother had amazing clothes in the 50s, 60s and 70s, but thats mainly gone....she has some horrors left from the eighties though:rolleyes:.

Just quickly popping in - Daisybella, hope you are OK after the nurse. You'd think they'd be gentle after you brought them sweets.

Goan I hope you find your clothes. It drives me crazy looking for thinks that I know are somewhere in the house. I have lost a lovely folky pair of peacock knee high suede boots (I would never have thrown them away) and I now have some clothes that they would look fantastic with but they are nowhere to be found.

Have a good Monday everyone xx

Lostinrates - that so sounds like my mum! It's like an 80's timewarp in her bedroom.
Vicki - hope you find your boots, sound fab.
Min- Hope the ball was a success. What did you wear?

I'm in a mad panic - BA are now on strike from 22nd Dec through to 2nd Jan - no holiday for me! I'm frantically searching the net for comparable flight deals and BF's tying to get a refund....arghhhhh!
