A Bargain Frock

And a bargain meal.

We went out for a meal on Saturday night. Just the two of us, for my husband's birthday.

 My mum had organised it. She babysat, paid for a taxi and gave us the money for the meal as a present for hubby. 

The restaurant is a very popular one around here, but also a little pricey so we were very grateful. Unfortunately, we were kept waiting for our meal for almost an hour as they had a very large party in just before us. It didn't matter one jot to us as we had no kids and made the most of the time chatting and laughing. However , the knock on effect meant that there was no time for pudding as the taxi was due. The manager very kindly decided that that wasn't acceptable and wiped the whole bill! 

So we are going back in a months time for  rerun, hopefully with pudding.


I wore my bargain Karen Millen dress that I picked up last year from e.bay. It is a wool mix and I love wearing it. I wore it with my knee high Fly boots as the restaurant is an old building and often a little cold.

Bags or Boots Girl?

Ok , so I am totally open about the fact that I am a bagaholic. I even have a board dedicated to it on my Pinterest ! I love bags. Leather bags, canvas bags, clutch bags, one off bags, children's bags ( yes I love the Cath Kidston Children's range ) beach bags, the list goes on. However, once I find a bag I love I am pretty faithful to that bag .....until it loses it's appeal and then off to e.bay it goes to fund the next purchase! I am a bit of a winter bag/summer bag swap around person so at the moment here are the two bags I am between. The first is a gorgeous karen Millen metallic tote that I got new off e.bay for the bargain price of £30  ( would have been about £150  in the store). I have been using this most the winter and it goes with anything. The second was a birthday present last summer from my husband and is a Russell and Bromley cream stunner - I love this bag! I have just got this out ready for the heatwave that is coming ( it is isn't it??!!)

You cannot buy Russell and Bromley online yet from their official store, but they are launching in Autumn 2012 - dangerous news!
