It's get bloody cold - hello winter! It's getting more and more difficult to find decent lighting.

Blogger was being a pain with photo uploads, hence the lateness!

titles are hard

Let's be serious folks - I'm here for the clothes, not for the clever word-smithery. Eventually my titles will be dates, I suspect.

We just had our first proper puppy-walk as his vaccinations are finally sorted. He had a lovely time, and the husband and I discovered an unsprayed blackberry bush in full fruit - hurrah! Plus side of a wet summer is nice plump berries!

Friday

I completely forgot I'd taken these until I went to upload today's pics! This was Friday - it suddenly rained, and I had to take some very quick pics before running off for a hair cut. So, dreadful rushing pics while trying to contain a very hyper pup!

The puppy and I are missing each other a little during the day. After two weeks together, it's a bit weird to not be structuring my day around his naps! I'm certainly missing my pre-lunch zonk out! He's growing so fast - I hope he quickly grows out of the desire to eat all the buttons off my clothes!

Too tired to think of anything useful to write! Christmas is a-coming!

in the navy

One is fighting off a cold. I am determined to take no leave, as I will have a little holiday soon, and work is winding down. Cold n Flu tablets are wonderful, but I feel a little like a spaced out ghost at the moment!

This little dress has been lurking in my wardrobe for months. I picked it up at Fashion Treasure markets during winter, and it really doesn't work with stockings... and it's that funny vintage synthetic fabric, so is too sticky to wear if it's really hot. Today was rainy and 22, so perfect.

The hair is very similar to my formal up-do (here), but I did an inside out braid first to really make a feature of the "plait". The last one I did was a normal braid where the "plait" part is hidden. It makes me think of the braided Easter bread our Greek neighbour used to make use when I was a kid.
Anyway, it's a very effective up-do for getting it all out of the way, and if you're a competent braider, it takes very little time and looks way more complicated that it is. It's just a full braid that you keep to one side of the head, and start to curve towards the nape of the neck toward the bottom, then finish plaiting the tails, curve back up the other side of the head and scroll inwards (like a spiral) and pin. And hairspray A LOT. Maybe I'll do a tutorial when I'm on leave in a few weeks and have more time!

In these pics you can see our new "formal" living room, which we've just semi-furnished. Fortune smiled and a friend is moving and needed to dispose of two leather lounges in a very similar colour to our new one. Of course, I haven't hung my mirror yet, but it's at a good height for shoe pics!
