Gorgeous

Yesterday I was riding the Tube home and it was pretty packed. Since I got on a much, much earlier station,I had bagged myself a nice seat with my Fossil backpack and shopping clamoring on my lap. 

Eventually it lightened slightly but was still pretty full. I noticed a couple in front of me. Awww, just finish work, either heading out some where for dinner to unwind or home to cuddle. He wore this woven black/grey jacket and his partner was fiddling with it. I found myself wondering if he could feel her fiddling with it and if he did, it would be an affectionate gesture. But, the way she was fiddling with it and digging her thumb's nail into it made me feel like she was trying to get in between the weaves... She did it for max 30 seconds only which was good because I'd be irritated if she ruined his jacket!

Anyway, it was then Liverpool Street Station and the crowd lightened significantly. The guy beside me got up, the paper behind him tumbled onto the seat and the woman from the couple had positioned herself to sit down. I caught myself removing the paper so she could sit.

I didn't think much more.

But, I felt like I was being watched or looked at... I lifted my head slightly but not enough to make any face/eye contact. I felt the couple was looking at me; the man in front of the sitting lady. I then noticed he bowed down to listen to her and I heard "Gorgeous". Sneekily, I looked at the window across to see a reflection of her catching glances at me and smiling.

Ok, wow. Flattering but really? Like, my eyeliner and mascara had melted to settle on my lower lid. Like, I have all this blemishes from pimples. Like, my skin was dry from dehydration and work. Hmmm. Fanks anyway!

I got up and walked out at my stop.

Maybe I heard wrong but if it were true, hey, hey, made my day.

I leave you with what I wore today:

Gap woolen coat with drop shoulders bought at some cheap-ish price when I was a stingy student
H&M cotton cardigan bought at an agonizing £15 as a student a size too big
Fossil bag bought at a bargain from an outlet near Las Vegas (as a student!)

Miss Albright Mary Jane platforms from Anthropologie @Regent's Street
Merino wool tights from ASOS that kept my otherwise bare legs warm!

Underneath the coat
Zara Basic dress I got on sale yesterday
Miller & Jeeves Beautifully British yellow skinny belt from Anthropologies @King's Road

The dress in the dressing room. The sleeves are actually long and see-thru
(I swore I inverted this pic to be the right way around!)

Bought this awesome khussa (Indian slippers) from £7.50 after a double slash in price.
My Asian friend told me last year to wait for the sale and true enough the price fell so much
The shit thing is, I tried it on with my thick woolen thights and couldn't tell the size
So, I got a 4 which is impossibly small! Have to go back to the shop tomorrow. Shitz

January Sale

I have been MIA cos working, working. Got long weekend and I'm relaxing (read: shopping) but I still have afterwork work to do. Hai. But tomorrow going facial. Must go la. I feel like I look so ugly.

Anyway, today went shopping. Got paid this week, suddenly feel liberated. But must becareful if not like last month suddenly feel like wanna die. January in the UK always got geng sales. Sometimes can buy the bestest thing ever for £5 but not always can la.

Here are some suspense pics first. Hahaha. Next time I show you what's inside

Anthropologie SALE! @Regent's Street

Anthro again, Kurt Geiger, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Zara, Monsoon @ King's Road, Sloane Square

Anthropologie at King's Road. It is housed in a listed building so the shoe shop is in a separate part with a separate entrance to the main shop. Basically, looks more like a huge gallery than a shop. So much more freedom to walk around compared to the Regent's Street shop (which is nice also la and over three floors)

Anthro at King's Road - Looks like a warehouse, doesn't it?

Pretty but expensive Anthro bracelet on sale. Crocheted with beads in the middle of a cupped-shape crochet pattern. Didn't buy of course.

Shopping today at King's Road was superb! Compared to Oxford Street and the Westfields, there was hardly anyone around. Totally awesome. And it was certainly a very different high street to the ones I usually see round where I live. Haha. Will be probably my first shopping choice now if everything I want is there because it takes the same amount of time-ish to get there vs Oxford Street anyway.

Anthropologie Online

A few weeks ago I said I hoped to one day shop at Anthropologie when 'I grow up' (read: when my paycheck is super big). Ha, didn't need to wait long cos they brought the price down to suit my paycheck. Still a bit expensive but some things are cheap-ish if you dig and dig, look and look, wait and wait. Also got quality and I really like their style. Some thing I really wanted and I missed cos I waited and it never happened was a Faux Fur Gillet by Tiny with silk lining for like £40-50. So, if anyone sees, buy for me as present, k? Haha. Having said all that, Anthro in the US is much cheaper than the UK.

Still awaiting three more packages from Fossil, ASOS and cosmetic cos I ran out of hydator and my skin is drying and dying.

Anyway, I leave you with what I wore today.

River Island Pea Coat, V&A silk/cotton scarf, Fossil Vintage Re-issue backpack, Kurt Geiger woolen mittens, Banana Republic Weekender Chino

My MNG wool cardigan back to its normal shape!, Abercrombie & Fitch leather belt, Abercrombie & Fitch top

My beloved Russell&Bromley pink patent leather brogues. Bought last year, worn today for the first time!
I'm so glad I got it because they don't do it in pink anymore.. and it was cheaper then.
The sun was out today so no water was gonna ruin it.

Hurgh ok la. Wanna sleep. Night night. Until next time! x
