AWOL

It's been 27 whole days since my last entry - and no I haven't been in prison for clothes shopping without permission!

I've been shopping for something completely different!

A flat - not the perfect pair of ballet pumps but a proper actual flat to call my own and live in and decorate to my hearts desire!

I've found my flat, and now it's in the £125 per hour hands of the legal people (ouch!). I must wait patiently for searches to be done and secret wheeling and dealing...

It's obviously taken my mind off the challenge somewhat! Instead of trawling Vogue, it has gone untouched on the floor and replaced with Living Etc and various other home decor magazines. It's exciting looking at interior design, but scary too - a sofa is for life, not just for a season, so many many sofas need to be tried on before they're coming home with me! And then there is the colour scheme! No seasonal changes - it needs to be timeless and classic, so I will not tire easily from it - A change of accessory maybe to alter the mood, but that will be all.... I predict many hours to be spent trying out sofas!

Back to fashion, and these last few days have brought about a change in the weather - the smell of a season change and the throwing off of the wool scarves and leather gloves. I will need to search out the interim winter/spring garments from the underbed storage and see what will fit in with the upcoming seasons styles...

Glossybox

As you know, i'm a lover of not only fashion but of beauty products!

For my birthday last year, my very good friend Rach bought me a year's subscription to Glossybox.

Every month you receive 5 cosmetic samples in a glossybox. There is always one full size product - the brands vary and so far i've been please with the goodies I've received!

It's a lovely treat at this horridly cold time of year - much better than going round the shops -you get to try different products, and there are discount codes so if you want to buy a full size version, you can do, at a reduced price.

Here is this months..

ready to unwrap...

Yay goodies!!

Fab isn't it!

Mareridt

Tragedy occurred on Saturday

I carelessly put a 100% merino black By Malene Birger boyfriend cardigan in the washing machine. On a 40 degree wash.

I felt physically sick as I pulled a boiled wool miniature version of the cardigan out of the machine.

Nooooooooooooo - was literally what I said. I chose not to swear. I googled 'how to stretch shrunken wool' obviously  - I soaked the poor little thing in a bowl of water mixed with hair conditioner, but sadly, it will be passed on to my niece. Her first piece of Danish designer wear. 

How very apt for a poppet conceived in Copenhagen and named after the Danish queen!!!

She won't appreciate it - it will have jam all over it within 5 minutes.

The saddest thing about this 'Mareridt' (Danish for nightmare!), is that I can't even replace it because of this challenge....
