Guesses

It was such a glorious day in London today!  The weather was absolutely amazing! Went for a pretty long walk across Central London and this was one the first saturdays in ages where I haven’t had to fight off a hangover with food so it was an all round brill day I'd say. Stopped for a little crayfish and avocado salad with French bread baton from Pret-a-manger (so yummy!) and popped into Starbucks for a ‘Strawberries and Cream’ frappucino. Mmmmmm....refreshing! 

Wandered into Selfridges where I promptly ‘bought myself a little happy’! It was so unplanned and so unexpected but hey it was pay day yesterday (Woohoo!!!) and so I figured why not. I'm so happy right now but will probably have to live off baked beans and water for the rest of the month! And now, the fun part (for me anyway, hehehe!)– guess what I bought!

A little clue (my favourite item was from shop below) and look through previous posts to get a sense of what stuff I really like. 

Look forward to hearing your guesses…

Oh Britney!

So apparently, Britney Spears reads my blog… Okay, fine! I don’t know that she does and maybe it’s the half a bottle of wine I’ve gone through already (we’re on our way out to celebrate my new job) but I do believe I have proof (*I say in Sherlock Holmes voice*). I was watching her new video today for “I wanna go” (I’m so ambivalent about the song) and I noticed that she had on the same pair of Louboutins I blogged about here. See the pictures below -

You can also watch the music video here (the shoes show up around the 5 – 9 seconds mark)

I definitely think I deserve some Celebrity Stylist credit here, don’t you think? Hehehe!

Anyway, In other ‘shoes news’, I just discovered these Louboutin Ballet Shoes!

Hot as they are, unless they come with “teeth replacement insurance”, I think it’s probably best I steer well clear of them. On a good day, I’m pretty clumsy and with heels that high – that’s just an accident waiting to happen.

I got no teeth but boy do my feet look fabulous!

Anyway, I’m starting to get too drunk to type properly. Thou shall get thy party on! Catch you later….

These are a few of my favourite things…

Well, 10 of them anyway! And so, in no particular order, my 10 favourites things this week are…

1.) A pair of Louboutins - *day dreams* How can anybody say no to these babies? I like the simple, classic black ones but these pair give you an edge. It looks fantastic while making you stand out just that little bit extra... (plus they look alluring and kinda dangerous - imagine being kicked by a pair!)

2.) Beyonce - Run the world (girls) video - YES WE DO! (Sorry guys!) Queen Bee is back and while I'm not entirely sure of the sound, the video blows me away. She can move like no one else can. Way to go Bee! I've been obsessing over the dance moves in this video. I refuse to have another embarrassing debacle attempting them so I'm just gonna appreciate them from the comfort of my sofa.

3.) Chocolate - Enough said...

4.) Merlot - I'm usually not a fan of red wine for so many reasons - ruined dresses (and carpets - which for some reason, core contents insurance doesn't cover), hangovers which feel like your head is being gnawed by a pitbull and near-immediate wine stained teeth. As a result, I avoid red wine most of the time, especially so on a night out but for some reason, I'm really into Merlot now...especially with a lovely meal. If you're not a convert, try it on a quiet night in. (You're welcome!)

5.) Hot Men (underwear optional) - Once again, enough said!

6.) Tate Modern - I love the Tate Modern. Granted, I don't understand what half of the art is about but the other half I do (kinda sometimes) get makes it so worth it! They have so many old pieces I'd only ever seen in magazines or read about in books - Monet, Matisse, Warhol, Picasso... to mention but a few. And the view of London from restaurant is priceless (well, maybe not so priceless... a 3 course meal will set you back about £28 or you could opt for a light lunch at around £8.50). It's one of my favourite hideways in London.

7.) Vinyl Record Players - Why in the world did people stop using them?! I'm so into them at the moment. They're such a throwback and I absolutely love the way it contrast with all the mod cons I have. Armed with a decent Merlot, they make for such a lovely night in.

8.) Gossip Magazines - Ask me in public and I will deny every laying eyes (let alone hands) on them however I do love them my gossip magazines. Not enough to buy them mind, but enough to pester people who have bought them to pass them on to me when they're done. I have to admit though, some of the stories in them are more comic than gossip. Like the one about Kim Khardasian (did I spell that right?) being pregnant. The magazine in question went ahead to say that Kim had been gushing about expecting a baby and put specific details about what she'd said as part of the magazine cover. Two hours after I saw this cover, Kim Khardasian herself denied being pregnant! Like where in the world do they get this information from???!!! (Okay, I'm in a bit of a quandry with this 'favourite thing'). 

9.) Prada Black Patent Leather Quilted Handbag - I fell in love with this as soon as I laid eyes on it. I've got the Prada Crocodile skin purse and this handbag goes with anything. Anything! Yes, even that! (Whatever it is you're thinking of...). Infact, I'll stop talking and let you feast your eyes on it.. Enjoy!

10.) Black cabs - because this always symbols the start or the end of a fabulously raucous night out in London!
