Wow! I finally found a maxi dress that I can afford to work with. I forgot my other one at home and wanted another one to go on holiday with. This one is a pink gypsy maxi. It's a bit low cut but I can wear a lighter verst under it but nothing that covers up too much. Even that pink cardi will look great with it.

Hats and headwear

Got this cool Panama style hat a few weeks ago. It's really good now that we're finally getting some sun. Found the fabulous fascinator at a milliners in London. They make such beautiful headgear. British women love hats and fascinators--they do have some sense of style. Americans have never had a sense for big stylish hats and headwear.
Fortnum & Mason, Harrod's and Jenner's in Edinburgh have such lovely hats too bad I can't afford them.

The Adrianna Papell dress and the feathred hat

I just got this dress a few months ago. I really love it. It's the closest thing I will probably ever get to an Herve Leger. These body con bandage dresses are so sexy and cool. They really enhance the figure and look so much better on curvier women than those damn waifs ruining the look.
I have a black one with sheer sleeves that I have had for about 12 years and it still looks as good.

This one is an Adrianna Papell and it came from Nordstrom. I got the hat today. I really love berries for colour. Will probably wear them to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot in June--but that's if I go. It's a big social ocassion over here.

How the days have gone by............

From Winchester, UK: Hmmm this is really different. Will have to see how all this blogging will go. I have never kept a public diary or whatever you care to describe this as.
Another week has gone by. Damn we're almost through this month and it just got started. Soon my time here will be up. Can't believe I have been here for three months already. Yes time does fly when you are having fun.
So far all I have done is studied for this exam, worked on the shop, gone back to Oxfam and shopped.
Today I went out for a bit and came back home. Will be in London for the day in a few weeks. Looking forward to that.
Gotta call Gary and Marie to see what they are up to. Gary, Collette and I need to go out again. It's great to just hang out in Central London on a Friday night. It's been a long time too and my time's running out.
