Retail therapy and a night out!

Definitely the best medicine.
Started yesterday with a trip to Starbucks. I've seen hundreds of people walking around with the sudden Frappuccino trend and I've always wondered what the fuss was about. So I ordered one. After going through the million Starbucks questions of "do you want blah blah".... "what flavour..." "what size..." and answering them all with "erm, I'm not sure, just whatever". The girl serving me assured me that a caramel coffee frappuccino is (in some random fake American accent) "totally amaaaaaaaazzzzzing", well I can agree that it is the most fabulous cold drink ever, well non alcoholic anyway!

So Frappuccino in hand I skipped along the row of shops and ended up having a mini spending spree in Dorothy Perkins on their jewelry range that was in the sale (I rarely spend more than £2 on a piece of jewelry) and then I headed to TK Maxx and found a "totally amaaaaazzzzing" cardigan. Hoorah! Spirits were lifting.

Last night I also had a rare night out with 24 of the mams and teachers from my daughters nursery to celebrate the end of term and also to say goodbye as next week is their last week before big school! It was such a hot sticky night, so I successfully managed to try on 10 outfits, pull most of my wardrobe contents onto the bed before settling on a non clingy (sit down meal...) and a cool dress.

As I pulled it on I decided it was quite Twiggy-ish, so I dug out the dark eyeshadow and black eyeliner and had a go pulling my hair into a different style.

You know, Ive had long hair for 28 years of my life and finally after getting it cropped right off I've done more hairstyles in the last 3 months than I've done my whole life! Anyway, turned out to be an 'ok' night, but a better night is planned for Saturday in Newcastle instead!
