Good Morning Vietnam!
Ok so it's not morning and I'm not in Vietnam but it seemed appropriate.
I'm in a bit of a mixed mood today. On the plus side I got some good news from the doctor so that's good but on the down side I have a bad back; not nice.
Today I went to the cinema to see The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists which I have to say is a good film, it's funny in places and they have a good storyline and funny characters. Overall I like it and enjoyed it. Also while I was in town I picked up a new pair of sunnies (can never have too many) and a pair of studs from New Look that I have been after for a while, so I'm glad I picked them up plus for £2.99 they're a bargain! Now I have to admit that I have been obsessing over the Jeffrey Campbell Litas for quite some time now; so I had this plan to try them on and if they fitted (cause I have big feet) I would practice walking in heels so one day I may own a pair. Today I popped in to my local Office and low and behold they were there, I literally grabbed them and demanded a size 8. Of course with my bad luck they only had a size 7 but the bloke said they came up big so I thought why not; they did cramp my toes but I think an 8 would be perfect. 
Let the practising commence...
Now about the outfit...
This dress is one of my favourite finds. I actually got it a few years ago in Camden when I first started becoming obsessed with vintage. The stall/shop I got it from isn't there anymore but when it was it was quite big and had racks and racks of clothes; it wasn't long till I stumbled upon a floral fitted dress and this one. I tried both on and knew I had to have both but unfortunately this dress was priced as £35; which is a little too pricey even as vintage. Now I should mention I was with my family at the time and my Dad didn't exactly approve, as they left the shop I went to pay and said do you think you could do me a deal (they were originally for the 2 £45); so without second guessing I said £35 and the woman agreed so to you I thank you. I do wear this dress a lot but lately I haven't (I'm too attached to my Warehouse trousers); but I'm glad I dug it out again and of course a sequinned beanie is the perfect partner.
I am now tired and watching about the Titanic (my Mum is a bit obsessed).
I will never go on a cruise! Hopefully...
