I emailed the photo to my blog yesterday afternoon and that was before the evening became a little crazy.  Sadly not the happy fun crazy I long for.

I'm exhausted! 

The LBD and a haircut

This morning I decided to wear my LBD ... it hasn't made an appearance for a while. I kept it simple and sleek with my little 'lace' blazer and of course, I love wearing my Eiffel Tower pendant with this dress. In fact, I'd wear this necklace more often if it 'went' with everything.

Ooops, Schatz didn't tell me my fringe was messed up :-(

This morning my hair looked a lot less fancy - it was clipped up with a messy fringe. I tried most of the morning to get a hold of my hairdresser and was not expecting her to be able to see me this afternoon, but she was available, so I dashed off after work to get my hair cut. I could not find the pictures I'd seen on the web, so we discussed a little and came up with this style which is similar to what I'd seen and to what I'd had before. An angled layered bob with quite a bit of chopping.

When I got home the family were full of compliments and all said they like it. I'm happy with it - what do you think?

Coral, cream and lace

 Looking through some outfits yesterday I saw the picture of the previous time I'd worn these pants and thought I should wear them again sooner rather than later.  At times I forget about clothing and I guess that means I have too much?

The jacket I bought at a chinese store in Rosettenville (it is scary going down there now).  I saw it in the window and when I found it in the store I had just taken my size (lucky as there was only one other hanging there and it was a size 32) when a lady walked in asking where they were.  I think I was lucky that I was a minute earlier than her.  There was only one other one in the store and I have a sneaking suspicion that it would not fit the lady.  I felt a little bad for a split second.  I've found on many occassions that the Chinese stores seem to put the last of an item out or in their windows which does not make sense to me.

My pearls are a favourite item in my little collection.  They are freshwater pearls my ex gave me for one of our anniversaries about a year or two before we moved to Germany.  I'm wanting 'real' pearls and would like the string to be longer and the pearls a little bigger ... I'm considering them for my birthday next year as my gift to myself.

Schatz has gone off to a Toy Run meeting, the young lady is staying over at a friend and my boys are watching The Matrix.  Its time to get my outfit ready for tomorrow and get the rest of my evening chores done. 

I also need to visit a few of my favourite bloggers ... I battle to get to read all the blogs I love daily ... the time difference makes that I miss some due to their publishing times ... it's easier to keep up when you have the email option, that way you know when they've updated.

Hope your Monday has been great.
