Very Trying

What a week! Busy like I've never known! They say always ask a busy person to do something and it will get done. How true! With a streaming cold I've been running around like a lunatic but have done everything. And the weather has been strange - hot one day cool the next then hot again!

My brown mascara has been noticed, as has my lack of black eyeshadow and lines. Interesting developments - I'm liking this look on me a lot. Am going to try with a strong lip soon see how that works...

Just realised that due to my busy week and a cold I've not been to the gym for nearly a week! Wow - good job my cold has prevented full on eating otherwise I'd be rolling down the street.

I was invited to view the new Bamford shop on South Audley Street so off I went. I parked outside the new Erdem shop, so naturally popped in. There they were. Lots of my big, Italian skirts and beautiful long dresses. May have to go back to try on... Then on to Bamford. Now, if you’re a constant reader of me then you'll remember I was invited to a breakfast at the Bamford studios earlier on this year. This time the manager, who came from Mui Mui, called me. He remembered my one inquiry about a blouse which I never even tried on (actually I did, in Dover Street - terrible fit!!!) And my name etc... Very impressive! That's how it's done, a personal connection and an ease of manners. Will I buy Bamford?! Maybe… Erdem - it may benefit by location…

Football! Yes I follow, but I must say now that I'm a pretty fair-weather follower (only if my club is doing well!) and my club is Chelsea… What a disastrous start to the season they're having. Poor Jose - what to do, as in life... Abandon ship? Soldier on? My question is actually what's gone wrong? As I'm not privy to the dressing room I've no idea but reading him in the Times this morning he's going to battle through. So should we all! Work the problem out and push on...

My big Italian skirt made its debut last weekend to huge applause! But my other big skirt (a Dior number) I took with me, to try the jewelled trainers with. You had to laugh. My Mother was crying, I looked so funny! Yes, if you 18-24 and stick-thin and trendy. Not if you an ever-so-slightly mature women who's not stick-thin. Well, at least I satisfied myself without bursting the bank. Remember it costs nothing to try !!!! 

Rain Rain go away! Please...

Happy Shopping
