Hello Thursday, how are you? Well I hope. Thank you for visiting us, now go away and bring us Friday!
Now I do realise that I have been a bit quiet over the last few days but I'm back now and ready to tell you about last weekend. It was the lovely Gemma Wright's birthday last Saturday which was a fun filled day consisting of all day drinking, hat competitions and some questionable cologne from the birthday girls boyfriend. You know who you are and you know you wear man perfume! We had a great laugh and even set up our own restaurant!!! We know who we are! Oh the good times we have. We may be knocking on 30's door but we certainly don't act it, and quite rightly too. Why act old when you can act young!?
My outfits over the last few days have quite frankly been questionable, I know this because I have questioned them. This is why I have not included any photos of said outfits. You, my dear reader would lose faith in my wardrobe and we simply can't have that. So I promise to step up my game and return next week all vintage like and that.
I'm the count down to Laura H's hen weekend which the lovely Lisa Halls and Sam Purton have organised, Yes, that's right folks I'm on hen do number 2 and it's 80's themed (the rest is a secret so shhh) which is basically one of my favourite era's of fashion and probably won't even need to dress up. I look quite 'working girl' most days anyway!
Until tomorrow xxxx

The scales don't lie...
There has to be some kind of hot man balance scales that a higher power has control of. Yesterday I was given the hot man to sit next to, today I get B.O man. This man has not only fallen out with deodorant but is also arguing with shampoo and conditioner. Get this man to Boots, he can use my advantage points if he likes. Hopefully tomorrow the sales will tip back. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
Today I am quite spring like again and am wearing a vintage shirt dress from Rokit with my mint green pumps.
I am so pleased its Friday tomorrow because I am then one day closer to seeing my beloved friend Gemma to celebrate her 29th birthday. Welcome to the club old girl. An all day drinking session to celebrate you say? Where do I sign? More than excited.
Today's must have is the weekend. That's all.

Spring has sprung
Hello dear reader,
We have reached 'hump day, which means the weekend is in sight. I can see it on the horizon and by the looks of it, it looks pretty damn good!
I'd like it give a special warm welcome to the sunshine today. It's good to see you and I really hope you stay with us. Im wearing today and I think it goes well with hot and sunny, a vintage playsuit from Rokit, a pearl collar jumper and floral wedges from Office! I love a bit of print clash!
I naughtily bought some more vintage today in the name of a white broderie anglaise dress (very Louis Vitton SS12), a peach blouse and some black, pink and green open toe shoes from my faithful Sue Ryder shop. Keep your eye out for them because as soon as I get the old lady musty smell away then they will grace the pages of this here blog!
Tonight ladies and gents (not even sure if any men even read this blog?) ''The Apprentice' is back on our screens and I for one cannot wait. My only criticism is this; why oh why do the ladies insist on suiting and booting circa Next 1990? I'd like to see some well fitted dresses, chic short suits or some double print a la Mary Katranzou! Only time will tell, but I really hope there are some fashionista's amongst them.
Help, the really hot man who I sometimes see on the overland from Highbury & Islington sat next to me on the train tonight and while I'm sure he was texting his girlfriend I was texting my Mum, which isn't even cool when you're 18 let alone when you are 29! I was glad when he got off the train because I really couldn't handle the close proximity! Help is needed and pronto!
Today's must have is.....Eddie Redmayne on the front row of the Burberry AW12 show. This man belongs to me. The end.

Circa 1999
Hello one and all,
I hope you all enjoyed 'The Tube' as much as I did. I'm going to be quite sad next week when it ends. I wonder if they will give us a helpline number to call?
Today I have gone back to the 90's by wearing a cropped jumper over a long white shirt! The jumper is from Topshop, white shirt from ASOS, Topshop leggings and mint ballet pumps from Primark. As you can see there is no vintage today (ooops) however anything over 25 years is considered vintage so at 29 I'm vintage and a bit more!
Today's fashion must have is basically the whole of the Louis Vitton SS12 collection. I loved everything and will be heading to Zara for high street versions and Rokit for vintage fixes.

I love pastels for spring and cant wait for the sun to shine a bit more and the days to be longer so I sit in the pub in my favourite pastel vintage dresses drinking pinot with the girls. Come on spring show yourself!

Train Spotting
I don't care for Monday's. I always forget how long it takes me to get to work over the weekend. It's like the length of the commute has been erased from my mind as soon as Saturday morning comes along. Getting to work on a Monday is like a full time job in its self. Bad Monday!
Today I am wearing a cream vintage knitted dress from Rokit, vintage blue Bally shoes and my trusty grey cardigan from Topshop. This cardigan has history, it's an oldy but a goodie. It has numerous holes in the pockets and blue ink on the sleeve but I heart it so much. I love how imperfect I am sometimes. I tried to feel a bit more spring like today by wearing lighter colours but once I stepped outside this changed. It was cold and I was miserable.
I am however reminded that this evening at 9pm 'The Tube' will be on. I have become slightly obsessed with The London Underground since watching the documentary so much so that I have now started to bore the girls at work with all that I have learnt about 'The Tube'. Now that I think of it I do remember seeing a camera crew in the drivers cab one morning on the Bakerloo line, they must of been filming then. That is exciting for me. Sorry ill bore off now!
Back to fashion darling and all this week I will be sharing with you my most coveted items from the AW12 shows. Today's Monday must haves are the Chanel shoe boots. They are so amazing it almost hurts a little bit and I cant wait to see the high street versions of these. Please Topshop do some soon so this pain will go away. Although If anyone would like to buy the Chanel ones for me I wouldn't be offended. My shoe size is a 4 and any colour will be fine. Many thanks. Check out the perspex heels. Love, love, love.
Until tomorrow my friends, hope you all have a lovely evening and don't forget BBC2 9pm xxx

Let's cast today's blog back to Friday when I found myself in possession of a ipad and today's blog is coming straight from the said iPad. This means the following:
1. I will be able to blog on the move which means more posts, maybe even daily!
2. My technological journey has moved into 5th gear and I'm doing 70mph on the motorway. Considerising that this time 2 years ago I wasn't even on Facebook I have not only embraced technology but I'm having a full blown relationship with it! Facebook, Twitter, iPhone, iPad I'm like a technology geek in overdrive!
So yesterday was St Patricks day and being half Irish means that it's illegal for me not to go out and celebrate, and celebrate I did in true Irish style. I wore a black vintage dress, with a green belt and my Topshop colour block heels......oh and my new blonde hair! They say blondes have more fun and I certainly did. Here are a few photos from last night. I think you'll agree that I didn't let the Irish down at all.
Back to today and Mothers day. Me and Mum went to see the 'Exotic Marigold Hotel' and now I have 2 new obsessions; Bill Nighy and India. Both are beautiful, one is maybe a little old for me and one a long way from home but I would like both in my life please. So if anyone needs me I'll be in India with my mate Bill.
I then took Mum for lunch at Chiquito (me and Mum are pure class...you can take the girl out of Walthamstow but you cant take the Walthamstow out of the girl!) and to my delight the restaurant was running 'Mums eat for free' deal. Best news I had all day! For the said event I wore a vintage bunny jumper (its almost Easter so its OK) from Beyond Retro, Primark jeans and those mind green pumps again!
I hope you all had a lovely Mothering Sunday as I know I did. I would also like to say Happy Mother's Day to my dear Great Aunty Molly who not only is a wonderful lady but a strong one too and at 89 is still such an inspiration. Love you very much Aunty Molly and don't forget you have the luck of the Irish xxx
