    Love the cardi lost :) I'm really struggling to find a nice longish chunky knit cardi. Have been all over the place looking for one and they're all either a weird cut or really shoddily made. I'm hoping M&S might have something.

    The F&F couture stuff is nice isn't it? They had some really lovely bits in the sale last time I looked but it's still awfully pricey.

    Char - love that dress! I had a very similar skirt back in my teens and loved it.

    My only problem with party dresses is the lack of sleeves as I still hate showing my arms off and don't like covering the dress up with a cardi or shrug. Might have found the perfect thing in Primark though, it's a gorgeous teal 60's style dress with chiffon sleeves and embellishment round the neckline and cuffs. Just need an opportunity to wear it now though!

    I've worked the Halloween event at work for the past 5 years and I'm definitely not doing it this year. I'm going in to do all the decorating because I'm apparently quite the whiz with fake cobwebs, but I am not working the evening part. I'm doing something very unhalloweeny like going out for dinner or something.
