Weekend

So let me catch you up on this past weekend.

Friday evening started off with a bang. Pay Day, of course, for Alice and I at least. So of course, A trip to Westfield and a Wagamama was number 1 on the agenda.

First stop was Mango. Alice got to Westfield about 10 minutes before me and was hassling me to  get to Mango ASAP! I have stuff to do, and that silly second rate diva was rushing me, I swear I nearly walking into a glass door with all that rushing about.

Anyway, Alice got a very beautiful and flattering dress, but I'll let her post about that one. I saw this Tee. Siouxsie, that number 1 diva is featured, and sheer polka dots running throughout the whole tee finish the fabulous look. What I did not like was the text: "REVOLUTION IS MY BOYFRIEND"... Seriously... WTF? I would have bought this if it had not been for this stupid text and font featured, Mango, you've let yourselves down.

After a little shop, a trip to Wagamama was in need. I got the Katsu Curry and I couldn't care less what Alice got, mine took about 20 minutes to arrive. And guess what, half way through eating, I litereally blacked out. I had to tell Alice to stop talking, I couldn't see or hear her after all. Was a very scary moment for me, and so we finished up and I rushed over to Waitrose and bought 2 multi packs of Kit Kats to munch on for the rest of the shopping trip. I don't think I actually bought anything after all the drama. I tried on the Kurt Geiger, Vivienne Westwood inspired boots I blogged about a few weeks back, and my legs are way too skinny for them, so that dream is dead and gone. Deffo want the Viv's, black with nude buckles please.

After leaving Westfield with nothing - at least I don't think I bought anything, I needed SLEEP in order to start another shopping adventure on Saturday in London with my friend Bob.

But before Saturday was to begin, I bought 2 new pairs of glasses online at GlassesDirect.co.uk as the two pairs I have are great but I like variety. I have a bright orange Calvin Klein pair, I think they are amazing and really flatter, however, I cannot wear these every day. I can hear the comments now "Oh my God, here comes that boy with the orange glasses AGAIN!!!" I've had them for about 4 years now, and that same comment runs through my head every time I wear them - like anybody would actually think that anyway? And I have a pair of 50's esque, navy blue glasses. But because I am quite a 50s-a-holic, I decided to crank up 2 new pairs to rock out in. My Mum will be very pleased with them I can tell you, As My ma and pa grew up and lived the 50's, I have always asked them what they would wear back in the day to get inspiration for my own outfits. I remember asking my Ma about 5 years ago how to make my skinny jeans skinnier, she said sit in a tub, I said "don't be so silly" so I ran them through the sewing machine, and made them so tight I had to cut myself out of them!!! oh to be 17 again, eh?? anyway, here's the two pairs I bought:

I cannot wait to get both pairs, I bet they both look totally hideous, but oh well, free delivery and free returns, can't complain!!!

ANYHOW...

Bob and me always have the best days out, Ever. No doubt about it. Whenever I hear Bob a'calling my name, I come a'running! We spent the day shopping in Oxford Circus, silly I know, but the day was also spent with us plebbing about, me walking into a mirror in H&M (I wasn't paying attention at all, and thought my reflection was somebody else walking towards me, I was about to look up and tell the unidentified person to give me some space, and before I realized what I was doing, smack, my arm hit the mirror! oops) and singing Shakira and Black Eyed Peas all day with our awfully shrill voices.

Saturday was a much better for the shopathon. I ended up buying my Mother two very exciting and beautiful gits that come in little blue boxes if you know what I mean ;) And I purchased for myself a H&M tee that I have been lusting over for about 2 months but could never find in my size...

AMAZING! Very simple, but the embellished detail really works for me, and at £12.99, I cannot complain at all.

I was also pleased to find out that H&M have started selling their suits in 34R, which is still a little too big on my chest, but it fits my shoulders perfectly, I have very broad shoulders, more like the shoulders of a blazer in the size of 38R but being a 34, I find it very difficult to find things that fit, but thankfully with inexpensive stores like Topman and H&M now doing smaller sizes, it's easier to find an inconstancy in a blazer that will have slightly larger shoulders, therefore fitting my chest and shoulders and making me a very happy boy. Confusing, much?

COS also provided me with a bit of wrist candy, this bracelet is a stunning piece of work. For £12.99, I had to have it, it is made up of about 500 small chains creating one big bracelet that looks perfectly grungey and glamourous on my wrist. And can I just say, the new COS website is amazing. I would love to know how they made it, they way it sweeps to the different areas of the site when you click a link in the navigation bar. The website building geek is coming out of me now, I do love making a website.

I also bought a few things from Swarovski Crystallized with the intention of making a few gifts for relatives for Christmas, won't got into too much detail about that in case they see this blog, but they look amazing, I made them last night with the tools I bought from John Lewis for jewelery making. Inexpensive, personalized and Swarovski gifts will make everybody happy at Christmas.

Anyway, after much walking around, Bob had to leave at 7ish so I decided to stay on for another hour and look around the shops more, everywhere was a lot less busy around this time which made me a lot happier because I got to look around the shops hassle free, but I had to leave at 8ish because my feet felt like they needed reconstructive surgery! They still do, every time I step it feels like they are going to implode!

Anyway, to wrap up the weekend, I went to St Albans today for a little more shopping, I  lost my stupid parking chip and had to pay £5 for the pleasure of doing so. Oh well, at least it's only £1 for the whole day to park there, so it wasn't so bad, I think about the amount of times when I've not paid at all when I should have, it's purely karma coming back to bite me on the arse for getting away with free parking all them other times. argh. Oh well, I believe I have finished my Christmas shopping once and for all for this year, now to begin on next year. The Boxing day sales is the best time to begin, so I'm saving my pennies awaiting that day...
