Pretty pass

I don't know on the one hand I do not believe how lucky I am to have a partner that accepts me for who I am but then again on the other hand it comes to a pretty pass when she asks if she can borrow a pair of my holdups!

Not thirteen just one

Dear Ted,
Mr Baker why is it that I enter your concession emporium in Fenwicks Brent Cross and find a lovely frock with mark you, a matching handbag and then fail to find it on your website? This is not the first time this has occurred. Now I know that there are many places that list more on their websites than they have in their shop, I can see the reasoning, I can see the financial implications and the issues of space but why have something in a shop you cannot buy online? To the best of my knowledge, and believe me I look almost everytime I go out, these items are not old stock.
It is also a shame that you have another rather large outlet that disposes of old stock at Bicester whose stock you hide from view on your website?
yours etc, etc

More shopping

Off to the West End again today. Breakfast in M&S. Cross the road into Selfridges and a nice stroll through the shoe department and ladies fashions. So much begging to be bought, so much totally unaffordable. Do I care? No, of course not, I love to window shop, its things that are just out of reach that get to me not things that dreams are made of.

A visit to W.H. Smith in Selfridges for a Radio Times resulted in buying Tatler as they were giving away a rather nice pair of sunglasses.

We are off up there again tomorrow, John Lewis and the Kurt Geiger shop in South Moulton Street. Talking of Kurt Geiger shoes I located the flats I was looking for in Selfridges shoe department. Very nice and yes I would have bought them and been nearly £100 poorer.

Two wanderings

Off we go this a.m. to the Hill Gardens. Weather forecast was not auspicious and proved correct. Still we got a few pictures done before it started to spit with rain and we retreated homeward. It seemed that half-terms have started so a few children about but nothing to bother us. Aaaanyway we had lunch then took ourselves off to Brent Cross. Oh my it was sooo busy but again no problem for us. So many nice frocks. Heard as two women passed us in Fenwicks, "was that two men?". Well that's an improvement, she wasn't sure. LOL

Popped into Curry's, not that I'd ever actually buy anything in there but I wanted to get my mucky paws on a Nikon D5100 as I thought it might be too small. The trusty old D90 is coming to the end of its useful life. It was a shame that they didn't have a D5200 to try. I would go for the D7000 but it is even heavier than the D90 and that is one reason I don't carry it everywhere. I was not that impressed with the speed of its focusing but then that is down to the lens it had not the body and I'd only be buying the body.

Got them, wet and Poppies

Well the shoes arrived this morning. Thank you Kurt Geiger and Parcelforce. A trip to Camden today, a wet trip. Raining when we got there and raining when we left. Still we had a nice wander, a look at the new frocks in the Collectif and very nice they were too. Could be a purchase there, the only problem being that I have absolutely no wardrobe space left and horror of horrors no space to put a new wardrobe into, if I had I would.

We visited Eclipse tattoo and piercing as Stephanie wants a small tattoo but being under instructions from my son to only see John we find that he is not in today, damn. A nice lunch in the revamped chippy in Hawley Crescent, reopened by Poppies. Now we know Poppies from Hanbury Street in Spitalfields. Aaaanyway it was rather nice and provided a respite from the rain.

Naughty, naughty

Anyone with a Flickr account? Well if you have be careful. Gone are the days when you logged out you got a link to log out of Yahoo. If you logout of Flickr you are still logged into Yahoo. You HAVE to go to Yahoo and log out there as well. This has only happened since they revamped Flickr into the appaulling shite that it is today.

Mind you this site isn't much better. Log in here and click on View Site and what happens, it shows your blog BUT look at the top right. It says log in. But you already are. So if you think you are not tracking your own visits, I've got news for you, you are.

Bargain !

Sooo lovelies I was after a nice pair of flats, shoes that is. A totally delish pair on the Kurt Geiger site a mere £120. Well a trip to Brent Cross drew a blank. Not in the Kurt Geiger shop, not in Fenwicks, not in John Lewis. So do I order them online. I don't really like buying online unless I have to. So I have another look and I see a similar pair, on sale, £120 down to...... £29!!! Ordered them, tooo right my dears.
