Feathers and Wool

Dress from Dorothy Perkins, Cardigan from a shop in Berlin, Hat from Accessorize (gift from my lovely Mum), Tights from M&S, Boots from H&M, Ring and Necklace from Boots

I needed a warm and cosy outfit today as it is still freezing and I wanted to make sure I was comfortable.  This dress definitely fitted the bill, double layered and so soft with a stretchy waistband (oh, the glamour!) so I could move around easily.  Today was my day off (yey) and my Mum and me went into town for some lunch and to browse the shops. I saw sooo much I wanted to buy but I was very restrained and kept reminding myself of my shopping ban! I saw a gorgeous dress in TK Maxx with a cute little birdcage print on it (it sounds weird but it was very girly and retro) but I put it back and walked away (sob).  I did buy some things though..... so £22.98 of my £50 'allowed' allowance has now been spent;

M&S Bras reduced down from £22 and £16 to £2.99 and £1.49!! Bargain!!! Vichy  Derma Blend Foundation (in Nude) £15, Feather Necklace £3 from Boots and the Ring was meant to be £2 but it was buy one get one free.  I am not counting the cost of the coldsore cream as I really don't think that should count, I just wanted to include it in my picture, as it is obviously very glamorous and photo worthy, lol.

Coldsore Watch: The coldsore has decided to make an impromptu visit (uninvited too I may add, the cheeky thing!) It always arrives in the exact same place and when it is not there it leaves a dark scar (which is why I nearly always wear dark or red lipstick to hide it) I am getting really fed up of it now and wish it would just bugger off for good. I bought my usual supply of coldsore cream today in town and I am taking my vitamins, resting and eating well. Go away coldsore, you are not wanted here!!!! I really hope it goes before Valentines Day, Mr Bertie won't kiss me when the coldsore comes to visit (even though he was the one who gave me coldsores in the first place, I never had them before I got with him) so it will be a very unromantic Valentines Day if he won't come near me. 

I am still looking for somewhere for Mr Bertie and me to go for Valentines Day and have now managed to get it down to a few possible locations/hotels.  I just love browsing hotels online (almost as much as I love browsing clothes) and could spend all day just planning mini breaks or holidays.  I think being an independent travel agent creating bespoke holidays would be a fabulous job for me.  People always ask me to look for hotels, flights and holidays for them or ask me for recommendations, maybe I should start charging for my services?. This idea should go onto my 'Ideas for My Own Business' list, I started this a while back and have come up with a few ideas so far, maybe one day one of them will become a reality!

What about you, if you could do anything in the world as a career, what would you choose? I love asking people this question when I am chatting with them, I feel it says a lot about them as a person and their personality.  

Happy Wednesday everyone!!
