Southampton weekend

Back to work! Except there's no work to do really. The office has been dead quiet while I've been away it turns out so there is pretty much nothing to catch up on. I may have to resort to photocopying in an effort to keep busy. It is taking me an age to type this because I have some falsie nails on today - hurrah! My hands look so pretty.

We flew of to Soton last Wednesday and just got back last night to a very cold house (we have no central heating where we rent). It was loverly to see Molly, she was so excited, she miowed herself hoarse.

The objective of the trip was to find and buy bridesmaids dresses for my sister and Nick's sister. On Saturday we went to every bridal type shop in the city and only found 2 dresses that we all agreed on. The shops are shit! They are full of really dated rubbish. And those 2 dresses were the best of a bad bunch basically so I don't want to buy them. I couldn't believe what crap was in those shops. And both our sisters are fairly easy to dress as well, they're not fat or big titted or anything they are just normal looking, both tall, but anyway enough of that.

I shopped quite a bit*, (*nb - understatement). I came back with:

1 blue crochet jumper from Warehouse. It has bobbles.
2 pairs skinny black trousers from Topshop. 1 denim, 1 plain cotton.
1 evening dress from TKMaxx, originally Morgan. Dark brown and long and flattering
2 Pairs knee high boots, 1 black, 1 dark brown. (Hurrah! Been looking for ages then 2 come along at once.)
1 Pair silver stillettos, they go with the Morgan dress.
1 furry white jacket from Monsoon, to wear to Catherine's wedding on top of my bridesmaid dress.
Some fluffy flower brooches/hairgrips from H&M. I always get my accessories from there if I can - so cheap and lovely.

I also borrowed from Nick's Mum her BEAUTIFUL white fur stole which is from La Perla and is so soft and lovely. I have never worn real fur before but I so eat meat, I'm not veggie or anything so I guess its no worse than wearing leather shoes. I hope nobody chucks a glass of red wine on it or I get drunk and fag burn it. I am having a few qualms about borrowing it but it looks great with the dress so what the hey. It was really nice of her to lend it to me.

I also went to see Goblet of Fire in a proper cinema, the Harbour Lights which is an independant one down at Ocean Village. It lived up to expectations apart from Voldemort wasn't scary enough I'm afraid to say.
