I'm on safari.

I got a bit stuck for todays trend so I've gone for a, and I quote Vogue on this, the 'Afrocentric' look. I had a nightmare journey getting home last night and had no time to think about what to wear today. This morning the decision was made at haste which is why today's outfit is a bit boring. I'm wearing a black dress I bought in LA and a vintage animal print jumper and a navajo print jacket which is about as waterproof as a sponge. Tomorrow I hope to try harder and actually look like I'm taking this challenge seriously.

 Onto todays proceedings, I'm not sure about anyone else but I have found today an extremely stressful one. I'm not sure if it's the weather or just my life, but the day has had a strange vibe to it. This rain is quite simply testing my patience and I hope it to stop very soon. I know this month is all about showers but this take the biscuit. April, my dear, you have made your point. I get it you're great at showers, but please can you now turn off the water, get out of the bathroom and put on the heating. Give the sun a chance, poor thing, it's his time to shine now.

 The only plus point of today is that I managed to get away with sitting in first class on the train into Paddington without any of the train people catching me. I feel such a rebel but let's face it I was born to be first class! 

Today's must must must have is this Valentino dress from the SS12 collection. Even though I could never look as good in it as this I can but dream. All I need is a hot summers day, a glamourous wedding and a hot man on my arm. As Gabrielle once said 'dreams can come true'.

Until tomorrow my fellow fashionistas xxx
