week in the life of me, vol. 6

the rules

I missed most of today's photo opportunities because I left my camera at home. So instead of seeing, for instance, the fascinating inside of Caffe Nero, or the SO ALMOST BLOODY PERFECT dress I had to leave in Debenhams, you just get a bunch of out-of-focus pictures of my books.




07.51 -- delicious tea


19.16 -- big bookcase


19.16 -- small bookcase


19.17 -- bedside table


19.18 -- cookery books


19.19 -- coffee table books


19.20 -- ebay fabric on the wall

Oh... and why did you have to leave the dress in Debenhams?????

So sad, it fit beautifully everywhere exept for the right side of the bust and shoulder strap, where it was ever so slightly baggy and saggy and weird. I could have attempted adjustment, but I undoubtedly would have buggered it up, and I didn't really want to spend £65 on something I had to adjust anyway. So the search continues... (it's for a wedding).

That is a shame. There is a really nice little boutique next to Saints Coffee Shop (near Cardinal Wolsey's house) I got a fabulous dress (http://clara-swift.livejournal.com/643216.html) by a design company called St Martins and it wasn't overly expensive.

Oh cool! That's a great dress and I think I know the place you mean - I'll have to check it out! :)

It could be worth it. That dress was only £35 and I got it with a third off in their sale.

Strong-ish I suppose, but the light makes it look much darker than it really was. The wool's not really that colour either. :)

Phew. That's okay then. I was worried ;oP
