Party Season

Sorry for the serious lack of blogging... but the lead up the Christmas etc. has made me very busy! I promise next year, there will be more constant updates... in fact, I'll make it one of my new year's resolutions!

I like organising things, but whenever I do organise an event, something is bound to go wrong and I am the one to blame. For example, the office Secret Santa didn't go as well as planned, with some people being ill on the day and some people not knowing who they were meant to buy for! This meant that some people got their presents late and some just got a 'unisex' present such as a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine! But oh well... I think everyone got something eventually....

So now it comes down to my birthday which is in Mid January. I want a themed birthday... just beacuse I enjoy dressing up and making a special effort! A lot of people I know however don't like dressing up, so I thought of a compromise and thought of a 'James Bond' theme. Its not very original but I like the glamourous aspect to it and I may finally get a chance to wear my amazing Bodyamr dress that I got in their sample sale a while back.

Talking about sample sales.... there have been a lot on this month, especially before Christmas! I went to the Vivienne Westwood sale which was held in Battersea. It was probably the worst sale I've been to, very poorly organised and they seriously underestimated the amount of people that would turn up! Firstly we had to queue for around 1 1/2 hours before we could go inside in the freezing cold, secondly, as we got inside, there was barely any clothing left and a few shoes, but the only really nice ones were sooo tiny size 2(35 EU) or size 3 (36 EU)!! Near the back of the room, there was a huge crowd of people, from the other end of the room, I could see rolls of fabric, so I thought that they were selling rolls of fabric or fabric samples, but it was jewellery! People were queuing up to choose and buy jewellery at the desk. Everything was bundled into small clear plastic bags so you had to ask the assistants to take it out for you so that you can have a look. Which I thought was very badly organised, it meant that you took ages looking through a lot of items cos you didn't want to leave without spotting a bargain! My star buy was these earrings- I grabbed the last pair. I saw them in the assistant's hands and asked her if I coudl have them. The girl next to me also wanted a pair, but I managed to grab them before her!!
