apologies.

sorry i've been M.I.A and haven't been on here for ages again - i'm terrible at blogspot, aren't i? well, i was ill and in bed for a few days so i couldn't do more outfit posts and then i've been working and attending compulsory inductions and things. but i'm here now. aha. i've recently ordered quite a few things online so when they all arrive i'll probably do a 'haul' of everything all at once. a couple of the things are from the kate moss collection which, as usual, was incredibly pretty etc etc but ridiculously overpriced - i mean, £75 for topshop jeans?? it's not far off insanity really. (as linda said - to purchase something "i didn't realise i'd have to take out a mortgage..". that's not exactly what she said, but you get the picture..) i'm rather annoyed i didn't manage to get the velvet shorts though but AC for madewell features rather a few pairs so i'll hopefully be able to get some from there - and also when would i wear velvet shorts, really?? exactly. another thing that everyone's been talking/blogging about is the topshop make-up collection..i bought a blush in 'flush' and it's really rather nice actually. it's a sort of 'cream-to-powder' formulation which means it doesn't 'sit' on the skin as other creams can tend to. i got quite a few compliments when wearing it with the general consensus feeling that it looks quite 'natural' which i like seeing as i don't exactly want it to look like i'm wearing lots of blusher...something i ordered today is a tea dress from pearl lowe's peacocks collection. i'm a bit slow off the mark really and didn't realise it has been launched yet (the same reason why i missed the KM velvet shorts...i'm bitter, yes. ha) anyway, i saw on charley's blog that it had been and went to check it out. i ordered this tea dress:

which i thought might be rather nice with ribbed ankle socks and brogues :) anyway, sorry for this terribly rambly post. much love x
