It's a living...

In the course of researching competitor's current styles in the category of "Loungewear" these were some of the pics that came up:

OMG - no, no, no!!! This prompts an open letter:
Dear Amazon;
The value of categorizing items on one's website should not be underestimated. It makes your webpage easier to navigate and more user friendly. . 
"Loungewear" is indeed a category. It represents comfortable, pyjama type items that could be worn outdoors/in public should the need arise (EG: midnight chocolate seeking expeditions, neighbour borrowing milk, visiting plumber etc). It is a category that can be described as a cross between sportswear and sleepwear. 

Some of the items placed on your website under "Clothing>Lounge & Nightwear> Loungewear" should be in the "Swimwear - as modelled by people with facelifts" or "Lingerie" section.  
In order not to frustrate users of your site, I would suggest that you ensure that items are properly categorized in future. The eyes cannot un-see once they have seen. 
Kind regards, 
Miss Pants

Things to do this weekend...

If I was in Cape Town - you would find me here on Saturday:
http://www.capetownmagazine.com/events/The-Annual-Breedeskloof-Soetes-and-Soup-Festival/2011-07-23/11_37_53405

And on Sunday I'd probably do this:
http://www.capetownmagazine.com/events/festivals/Delheims-annual-Jazz-and-Cheese-Fondue-Festival/2011-07-24/128_37_53388

But as I am in London - I am going to do this:

I wonder what the "Silent Disco" is going to be like! Ha ha ha!

Spirit Hoods

Spirit Hoods... WTF! I am either getting old and out of touch with fashion - or I am just wise enough to know that this is a bad idea (for anyone over the age of 10)

No offence to those who love and wear them. But seriously. Ask a guy. He will tell you straight.

On the way out...

I realise that my Union-Jack-Cushion-Obsession (which started in October 2010) needs to be overs soon. Enough is enough really.  
My final tribute to the flag will be the one I make for #1's room in Greyton - but it was preceded by an effort to give my new room a more personal touch! I moved into a flatshare (!) at the beginning of this month and so far so good. My room is the teeniest, but it's mine (ish!)

What's cool about living in a flatshare? Quite a lot so far: 

• You get to meet more people
• There is someone to cook for
• Someone to share a bottle of wine with so you don't look like an alcoholic
• On-hand fashion advice 
• Someone to mention to that you are going for a run, so if you don't, you look like a loser

Baby, it's cold outside...

While the skies start to match my pallor (grey) - I am beginning to think about essential additions to my winter wardrobe. It strikes me as odd to be thinking about all things winter - when I have only JUST begun to enjoy my summer purchases... 
My top 3 must finds are:
1. A Cape
They featured strongly in FW2010/2011 but I think this is the year to hit it as hopefully most of the high street retailers will have a version of sorts...

2. A good pair of versatile boots
I need a pair that I can dress up or dress down... but I like the look of these

3. Anything with Polka Dots
Like Marc Jacobs, I am obsessed! I especially like the oversized dots or play with colours...

Hmmm... Let the hunt begin!

For moms and dads, uncles and aunties...

Sick of bedtime stories? Solution. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. 

And I only want PINK M&M's!

We've all heard about outrageous popstar/moviestar demands for a bowl of M&M's (candy coated sweeties) but with no red ones...And some poor lackey having to pick the offending colour/s out of the bowl!


WELL! At M&M World in Leicester Square; you can select any colour you want! 

One of the 1001 reasons to visit Mandy ;-)

And did I mention I was obsessed with pleated skirts?

Totes obsessed. Totes. 

Ahhhhhhhh.... Must find one. In pink. This weekend. 

Pleated bleat!

I am OBSESSED with pleated skirts at the moment. Brace yourselves Capetonians, it may be 7 degrees now - but come summer, I am sure you will find yourselves hunting down the perfect pleated skirt too!


Whistles did unquestionably the best one. The best!

Although they look good super short or maxi-length, I like the 1940's mid calf length the best. 
Would the gods of fashion please send me to one that costs less that GBP10? Preferably in fuchsia. 


Thanks ever so much!
