Today has been cleaning day..getting ready for our dinner evening with friends. I'm cooking so hopefully everyone will be alive at the end of it!
I'm wearing the same jeans as Sunday as they are so comfortable and a great fit, the cream is an old Topshop and a Elle cardigan which I bought last week. I love the colour and the strips. My shoes are called 'Fashion' (how ironic)
I went to Castle Cary to get some last minute food bits for tonight and also popped into my favourite clothes shop called Jacqueline's, with new/second hand clothes that are really good quality and she seems to have so many things in my size! There was also a little antique shop up town, and I bought two old books for a sketchbook or to use as a collection file for University. Also some small old false flowers to make headbands with for the festival.
It is such a small but pretty town with a little book store there which I love having a browse through. Local produce foods that have amazing fresh homemade pies/quiches/salads, all with that organic feel.
The Evening
The evening consisted of three friends of ours, started with our neighbours who are a couple and the other chap was a friend of my parents whom they met as there French lessons. But funny thing was that they were all younger than my parents...sort of my generation but a little older. I swear that my parents are 20 year olds on the inside. In a rush to get ready as I was cooking part of the main course (OH DEAR!) time run out and was concerned about being too smart as it is in my house you have feeling of wanting to be in your PJ's (but not that far)
So starting with a dress but I really couldn't bear wearing tights (as our way of keeping warm is 'layers', parents do not seem to believe in heating, or maybe COST!!) So I wore these stunning bright blue cords which are..wait for it...Victoria Beckham. I was a bit shocked when I bought them but they are surprisingly nice! Got them at the dress agency that I mentioned this morning. Shoes are the same as during the day, with the same under top. For the over top it is Miss Selfridges. I seem to have allot of this brand apart from vintage.
My earrings are from Monsoon. I did have a faze of massive earrings but now I think it has moved on too earrings..as you can tell..
So everybody loved that meal..thank goodness! So full after it, oh how I do miss home meals! The last guest did not leave until midnight..which is late for us...
