Update

On Friday we went to both Pizza Express (half price offer, I had the spicy Etna!), and then met friends in Sand Bar. I tried some of the Lindemans beers, my favourite was the raspberry aka Framboise one.

Onto the fashion part: Laura had the sailor coat I mentioned previously! She said she saw them in Topshop, but they all got bought by swindlers to sell on eBay at a profit, so when they were back in store she snapped one up, but they only had a size 12- bit big on her- but she says she likes it cuz she can pretend that it really belonged to a (man) sailor and she's pinched it.

In other news my sis visited last weekend (15th Jan), for a belated Christmas. I got an Anna Lou brooch! Not the robin (sold out), but a yacht-

*god I really need to get the hang of taking pictures with this camera...

apparently she & Jerry had been emailing each other- her asking him if there was anything in particular I'd like :>

Jerry received a Cath Kidston cowboy scarf... he hasn't worn it yet

What I wore today

In the course of my internet browsing whilst in work I happened to hear about this Flickr group:

This may just be the inspiration for me to pick up a pencil again! Especially seeing as how while Kate was here at the weekend we hooked up the scanner again for her--[however it is ginormous on the desk and a pain to use when the printer has no ink in it].

2010 wardrobe essentials no. 1: the white shirt

Wardrobe essentials for 2010 by wonderlake featuring Sweetbox blouses

Items in this set:
BLACK PEACE NOW Ribbon Blouse w/ Jabot (White), $159
D&G SS0237TN5 WHITE COTTON -, 87 GBP
Vanessa Bruno Tie neck shirt, 85 GBP
Sharp Shoulder Blouse, $58
White Shirt + Bow Tie(2 patterns), $35

Hmm, the white shirt. This is not an item I have in my wardrobe already, infact I don't think I have any blouses... I think mainly because I'm a D cup, petite so it's difficult to find one that fits without gaping buttons!

Also I think I particularly don't go for WHITE blouses as they remind me too much of school uniform. I don't have any other white clothes so I imagine it would be a pain to launder them and not have them end up looking greyish.

Furthermore I like to wear c o l o u r f u l underwear, so I'd either have to look trampy with a jazzy bra visible under the said white shirt, or invest in white/ nude underwear which won't show so badly...

However I did quite like Kelly Reilly/ "Anna Travis's" white shirt style in 'Above Suspicion' which has been on TV these past few nights. Maybe if I actually had a job where it mattered what I looked like/ wore I might consider taking a few style leaves out of her book
