I go to NYU.

Right I'm proper back now for good, as Take That once said. I've been away because I have had a lot of partying to do, a 29th birthday party and 3 hen parties to be exact. All these events were extremely good fun but they all gave me hangovers from another level which meant I was unable to even write a text message let alone a blog entry.

Anyway I am now back to entertain you with my anecdotes and give you an insight to my slightly strange vintage wardrobe.

Let's go back to last weekend and Lindsay's hen weekend in sunny(ish) Falmouth. It all started off as quite a civilised event. Friday night we ate Rick Steins fish and chips, had afternoon tea and a lovely walk to a castle ruin on Saturday afternoon......and then the foam began! Yes, that's right ladies gentleman we went to a foam party and we all (well nearly all) got in and embraced the fairy liquid. I have to admit I was one the last to 'get in', so to speak, as I was head to toe in vintage and was worried about my black vintage hush puppies shoes. FYI they are amazing. It is quite interesting through what a few watered down vodkas and a couple of tequilas can do to your responsible self, as soon as the said liquor settled into my blood stream I didn't think twice about my hush puppies and dived right in. Glad I was too because I was right back to being 18 again living it up on the dance floor at Utopia. It was quite simply one of the best nights ever....and in case you are wondering the hush puppies dried out and still fit like a dream. So the moral of this story is....don't worry about the shoes they will survive, they are shoes after all.

Today is all about the Friday and how I love it so. I've gone for a peppy androgynous look with cobalt blue shorts from M&S Limited Edition, a vintage white shirt, Ralph Lauren jumper and brogues from New Look. If I was an American I would be 21, go to NYU have a bank balance like Blair Wardolf and my biggest daily decision would be 'do I take the Chanel or Mulberry'. Instead I live in uneventful Hertfordshire, am 29, have a bank balance that quite frankly doesn't even deserve an account number and my biggest daily decision is 'shall I stand up on the train or risk sitting down next to the smelly/loud/talking on the phone/listening to music loudly individual' (delete as appropriate). Miss Wardolf you do not know how lucky you are!

Today I am seriously lusting after these Charlotte Olympia cat ballet pumps. They are fairly old news now but I am still very much in need of them. Im not even a cat person but for these I make an exception and if Alexa Chung can wear them then I can too. How amazing these would be with some pastel trousers and a vintage knit. Come on kitty.

I have another lovely hen party this weekend. Sam, or Winners as I like to call her, is having her send of into married life and I for one cannot wait to help her celebrate. Go Winners!

I hope to be back tomorrow with some more tales to tell....so please stayed tuned.

Until next time xxxx
