October's for beb'OSA

Yesterday, someone posted a request on my facebook wall - 'Bring back Beb'OSA'.

So here I am! A lot has been going on in Womble world but all in all, still surviving! :D

What have I been up to? Well, I spent July attending 3 weddings *phew - in Birmingham, Bolton and Essex. And a 4th wedding in September. The last one was in London which was good! Less travel! I have to say that before this year, I had only attended 3 weddings - a neigbour's, my sister's and a colleague's. That's it! And in one year I managed to beat that record! #Epic!

I've also done loads of cooking and volunteering. I completed a sponsored walk from Heathrow to Islington, helped organise a charity football tournament, volunteered for Cancer Research UK's Shine Night Walk and I am currently working on 2 events in support of Breast Cancer Campaign.My mentee also graduated this summer (mega proud) so I have another one.

On cooking, I surprised my brother on his birthday plus I stocked his fridge and freezer with his favourite meals. Also hosted a few people to lunch last month which I think went down a storm - am I allowed to say that? Lol.

And of course, the highlight - it was my birthday a few days ago. I went to see John Legend live at the Apollo on his 'All of me' tour. If you ever get the chance to see him live, do it! Lol! Then I went to see a movie and dinner the next day - I should do a review on the place! It was amazing! I also went shopping at Oxford Street. Basically, it was a week long celebration which is yet to be over......

Guess that's all folks. The highlights since I last came here. I'll leave you with one of my fave tunes at the moment from my girl Simi.......
 
                             

Loving you always,

Lust Have.....

I took a trip down Oxford street sometime in the last week of December 2013. I don't know if I said but I was ill over Christmas so spent it indoors and 'bed-bound'. Little wonder that at the first opportunity, I wandered out of my 'hole' and took a walk to explore one of the main 'shopping districts'.

At this point I must mention I was without a penny in hand. Lol. Not so much out of choice but more out of *coughs, shall we say circumstance. Lol.

Anyway, I went in and out of the shops, taking in the beauty of the streets - full of people, noise and lights. I am quite picky in the things I like so when I fall for a brand, it's usually a lifelong love affair. And in light of this, I walked into the Ted Baker store. Lovelies!!! That store gave me life from the first ,'Hello'. Lol! So many things I just wanted to grab off the rack without trying them on because I KNOW my size in TB like I know I should have gone to bed ages ago! *sigh.

I wandered around on the ground floor admiring jumpsuits, tailoring, the whole 9 yards. Then I decided to check what the upper floor had to offer. I kid you not as I got to the top of the stairs, one of the girls there walked past me in the most AMAZING dress I had seen all day! I couldn't help it, I gushed to her how much I loved her dress and she went on to say it was from that store, asked for my size, handed me one and insisted I tried it on.

Oh dear, I loved the dress when I saw it. But when I wore it.......it was a lifelong union. Lol.
Unfortunately, I did not take it home with me as my senses spoke words of reason and I decided to listen. Till date I still visit the website to ensure my dress is in stock because as soon as I can afford to - WHOOSH! I am so snapping it and making it mine!

I'm actually looking forward to summer you know, Lol. Can't wait for the sunshine to kiss my face everyday (sheer bliss). Here's my dress - I promise it looks much better sitting on me than it does here :P

Speak soon lovelies! Sweet Dreams xx
