My friend Elaine is an inspiration to me, upholstering, re-designing, redecorating, she does it all. She has also introduced me to the joys of Ebay and the art of giving up your old stuff so you can get something new, simple I know, but I had never thought of it before! So far, so good. I am slowly repaying my mum for the damage done in Paris (what an amazing amazing trip- just me, mum, good food and even better shopping!) and building up the savings account I just opened to try and dig myself out the albeit fashionable hole i've dug myself into. Getting my card declined today when I tried to buy bananas and juice was a low point but i'm optimistic...summer wardrobe here I come! To keep myself in line i'm devising a summer must have list, anything not on a list is a MUST-NOT-BUY. Watch this space. For now though, i'm away to sell my nike high-tops, I don't know when I thought I was edgy enough for those...
