Ugly but so so fabulous

Hi Ladies

There's another new pair of shoes in my life, they're super ugly, but I'm totally in love with them!

I bought them from ebay a couple of weeks ago & they are seriously fabulous for walking in. They weigh nothing & they make you feel as if you're walking on air, I practically bounce round the block :) And, while all the bouncing is happening, they're also toning my legs & butt.......what more could a girl want???? Even the ugliness isn't really a problem because long trousers cover them & all this for £20 (delivered)!!!!!! If you want your own pair of bouncy shoes, have a look at the ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/aladdineshop they take about a week to arrive but they're seriously comfortable & fabulous.

So, after my walk this morning I came home for breakfast & a movie. There's definitely nothing ugly about the cast of Vicky Cristina Barcelona! Javier Bardem???? Delicious!!! I LOVED this movie, so beautiful. A story about Love & all that word means for different people. Its so interesting to me how different people live & love outside of the 'norm'.

The Barcelona scenery was just as I remember from my visit at 17 with my art college buddies :) This movie with its fabulous art & beautiful, interesting characters was the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning :) Makes me feel all inspired ready for afternoon & evening of sewing for my fabulous & glamorous bridesmaid Rebecca.

Well ladies, enjoy your Sunday, however you choose to spend it :)

Eat Pray Love

Hi Ladies

I've been thinking about my upcoming lone trip to the cinema & I've found the perfect link to the trailer of Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts (who doesn't love Julia???) Have a look at the author's website www.elizabethgilbert.com , scroll down to underneath the news to see the movie trailer & then when you've seen that, there's a video below the trailer of her talking about creativity. It runs for about 20 mins but if you're short on time I can suggest taking the laptop into the kitchen & listening while you do the dishes (I just did that).

It's an inspiring talk that will be so interesting to anyone who ever tried to create anything & the pressures we feel about where the next blast of inspiration will come from. Have a listen....I know you'll love it :)

More soon

New shooooooooooooooos

Hi Ladies



I can't believe how long it's been again, I missed the whole of July!


Well, the search is finally over, I have my new shooooooos :) I've been searching for so long now for the perfect pair of boots for everyday. Easier said than done! I have plenty of ridiculously high heeled boots & shooos but they are really no good for a whole day out......are you with me ladies?? I really love my heels but my new boots are the perfect height, high enough to not be stomping like a 3 year old in flat shoooooos & not too high that they make you want to cry. I can travel in them too....yippeeeeeee :) (yes, I'm counting down to California again :)


This last few weeks I've been working on a corset for a very fabulous bridesmaid. I'm so excited about how fabulous a corset makes you look & feel. During my sewing hours I've had recorded shows on a loop for background noise & for when I stop for a cup of tea. My favourite at the moment is Gok (either of his shows) & every single show somehow he talks about the foundation wear & how if you get that right, everything on top looks & more importantly feels, fabulous. A made to measure corset is probably an expensive (& a little complicated) way to get this feeling everyday but it's true that we all need a little help to feel as best as we can. For some of us its a fabulous pair of jeans for others its the perfect bra. My super Sis has a little obsession with dresses & she looks fantastic in them but more importantly, she feels fabulous in them, all swishy & gorgeous. Mine at the moment (apart from my new bra) is my fabulous new boots because if my feet are happy, I'm happy :)



Ally & I finally made it to see Sex & the City 2 & of course it was fabulous & glamorous & everything I wanted it to be. Clayer didn't make it that night so we're planning a dress up in front of the dvd night with beautiful cocktails.....so don't tell her anything before that night & ruin it for her...

Speaking of movies, my mission this summer is to go to the cinema by myself. I've always wanted to go one afternoon & watch a movie just for me. I've checked online & Eat Pray Love is showing from 24 September in the UK so that's my choice. Have a look at the trailer on youtube, it looks so great :) (if you haven't read the book, read it...........I know you'll love it!


My doormat took some weight this month with the September issues of all my fabulous fashion magazine, Harpers Bazaar is of course the most beautiful. Also, did you all get to see the new Dior Couture show??? Oh so beautiful, have a look on the Dior Couture sight & click on fashion shows.........gorgeous :)

Me & Super Sis are in the progress of changing things up at Seasonal Sisters so in the next few weeks there'll be more fabulous gifts in our boutique & Ally is working on a brand new set of recipes.



Oh & big news, Tiny had her stage debut. She played a hula girl in the Lion Kingdom at the Hawth & she was adorable (of course). Congratulations Tiny....next stop....Broadway :)



OK, I'm off for a fitting with my fabulous bridesmaid!
