A full client card (yesssss !)

Last week, darlin' hubby bought himself a D&G suit...a beautiful suit, a brown one and it was the last item to complete our (well, more his...) client-card...

I don't know if you guys are familiar with this, but down here we are suckers for client-cards and their extra amount you get once it's  completed (10 items, added up and 5 or 10% calculated on this total amount)...

So, yesterday I went down to Verso (again, I know) and looked for a raincoat...as it's always raining down here lately and my wintercoat is getting to hot...I thought to myself, why not spend the amount on something useful...(any excuse is as good as the next....)

I tried to hunt down a picture on the internet and found one through Google...my coat was presented as a part of a "business-look-chilly-days"...so not a too bad choice, right ?

The brand was not unknown but the 1st time I bought it...

A picture of me wearing the coat will follow pretty soon....

Hilary has lend me a few books this week and one of them is such an inspiration...
It's a book by Kate Spade called 'contents'...
It's about what's in bags and this is something that tells us a lot more about the owner than the outside of a bag...
So...I'm daring you guys/girls, the moment you read this blog, to take everything out of the bag you had on you today, display it and take a picture and please send it over to the following e-mail address (below).
You may also comment on it's content and add some description....
The pictures will be used in a future blogpost ...

Thank you so much !

The dress is D&G, F/W 2008, got it from Verso (on sale !) - Like it better with or without the belt ?

I DO like Mondays

Cappuccino with wipped cream (no milk for us ...)


Coquilles Saint Jacques


breakfast mojito (or NA apple mojito)

What else can I do on a Monday ?
No I'm just kidding ! Looked forward to my BHF lunch with H. today at the Verso café...
Our day was just lovely and filled with luxury !
Credit Crunch ?! Never heard of it ! We won't let our economy down ! Spend - spend - spend ! (at least in GOOD food)

Alexander McQueen

I've had this AM dress for almost a year and never had the right occasion to wear it to.
I did wear it almost at a certain point, but then we decided not to go to this annual event.
Then I gained weight, the will to wear it was there ; not the body...
Having lost 5kg again, I fit easily in my dream-dress...
Now tomorrow might seem a great occasion for wearing it !
I presume it will be a little overdressed (as I know who the public will be) and I don't give a shite (excuse my French)...
It's grey, it's smashing and we will go out for drinks later on....

I did try to find a picture in advance of showing it to you guys but could only find a similar version (other cut) on the internet...
Remember that really cool oh so short version Kate Moss wore this summer ? Remember the runway pictures at the Alexander McQueen show with the grey dresses and ab-fab butterfly hats ?
Well, this is the dress only mine has 3/4 sleeves and some frill at the other end :-) and it's a bit longer than Kate's version...
Will post a picture of me in it after tomorrow when I'm ready to go...

Leave you with a few dream-pics of the ones I was mentioning just here...
Oh and yeah, before I forget...for any Alexander McQueen dress,bag, shoes...visit VERSO, that's where I found the dress...
