The Alter Ego...

 

Insomnia - my enemy.

It's night, I wake, I think about sleeping but the voice starts - I try and ignore it, I give in. I start to think...

By this point, having got up, written lists, bought stuff online that's bugging me, thought about all the stuff / people / worries / insecurities in my life, I then start to online shop / dream / pop stuff in the basket...

But the amusing thing is that's like an alter ego shopping. The reality is I'm a jeans / tshirts / sneakers person (I want to say girl but hitting 40 seems to make me feel awkward about doing so...). The alter ago in me likes to think differently and might I add rather impacticly for my life...

Roaring Success...

... I waited weeks for these jeans! Literally waiting for the second delivery to hit the store and boom! they were mine and I am over the moon - boring as it maybe - I love jeans, I love skinny jeans, I dislike jeans that 'bag' - but these are great! the recovery in the stretch is awesome, they are as soft as butter and as comfortable as my favourite track pants (well almost...).

Summer Fun (Fun, Fun)...

Bizarrely (or so some people may feel) as the end of term approaches I'm looking forward to spending time with Mushroom. I have collated an assortment of craft stuff, projects and fun stuff to do (all of which can and will be found on Pocketees). Armed with a few close friends the summer is going to be fun, fun, fun!
And not all for Mushroom I have some fab craft projects for myself as well!

Sales Shopping & The Leather Trouser Search...

Normally a month or so before the sales I start to think about what pieces I'd love but cant justify (afford) the price. I draw up a list - items, designers and internet shops (I rarely get further than Islington - and thats only about a mile away!) but admittedly as the discounts become greater a few (unnecessary) items fall in 'the basket'.

So far this year I have succeeded in sticking to my plan! (there's always time to deviate... but I digress). High on my list were leather trousers - I have trawled websites high and low (cost) to find 'the' pair even selecting and trying on a pair of Saint Laurent leather trousers - heaven on the model just not the fit for me (fabulous to have tried on anyway!) and was giving up. Then, a sale item appeared. The last pair and in my size - mine - I 'grabbed' them in to my 'basket', signed, sealed and delivered they can always be sent back but no! These babies are staying!

Which also leads me to the boots - Acne - Discounted - and - truly Awesome!
