There's lot for me to write today as I've been meaning to blog a couple of times but my internet has been having hissy fits or I've just outright been too tired/alcohol-soaked.
Sooo, I guess this means I should try and go chronologically-ish, but my memory is rubbish, so let's just go with stuff earlier in the week. Which means, first:
Spotted!
As I work in Selfridges (have I mentioned that enough, d'ya think?) it's not uncommon to see minor celebrities, and slightly more major ones, browsing our rails. I've see a few people, most of whom I end having to be told by some one else that they're famous (like some bird from Coronation Street). Others I reckonise out of my own passions (like the woman who plays Christina in Ugly Betty)... and there's the well known ones. I had one of the well known ones on Tuesday (or was it Wednesday?). I saw Kelly Osbourne.
I have to say she was look very lovely in what I think was a mui mui skirt and top. She'd had what looked like a blue rinse on her hair, which had resulted in it being an odd lilac/blue/blonde/grey colour, but none the less she pulled it off and looked fabulous. She was far shorter than I thought, but even more gorgeous in the flesh. I didn't get to speak to her as she was just passing through my area, but none the less it was pretty cool. :)
Also, on Tuesday I decided to make an effort with my outfit, and ended up wearing this:
There would be a picture here, but my internet/Blogger is being rubbish and has refused to let me upload this for nearly a week now. I'll show it at some point.
I was mainly making an effort as it was one of the girl's leaving drinks and I didn't want to have to change after work. So I decided to chuck on my lace top (H&M), my strapless dress over the top (Cult) and I also got truly Essex and wore my white stilletos for drinks and the first half of my shift.
The rest of the week was a bit rubbish until I saw Theo Paphitis. I had a small cringe moment with this "Spotted!" moment as I didn't realise it was him until I had already gone and opened my big mouth to do my introduction that I do when some one walks into my area... (along the lines of "Hi there, are you looking for anything in particular?", they respond no, just looking and I reply "ok, just so you know there are more sizes available of pretty much all our styles, just let me know!") Half way through the first bit I realised who I was talking to and the way he was smiling/smirking at me and sort of trailed off into a mumble. Bit embarrassing but ahh well. He was clearly in on business related matters rather than personal, and looked smart casual in a pink shirt and light coloured trousers.
On a couple of the evenings whilst I was chilling out, I ended up wearing this:
I thought it was a different version of smart casual for me. I only brought these tailored shorts (Primark) from Oxfordshire to London, the other week, but have worn them quite regularly since. I've then just been combining them with this tshirt (Vintage) or similar baggy style ones for the stark contrast of casual with smart tailoring. Perhaps not the best outfit ever, but it worked.
Finally, today... well yesterday now, I went to Clothes Show London at Earls Court. It was amazing! So amazing, in fact, that I think I'm going to save itfor it's own blog post as I'm rather tired and do have to work this apparently-going-to-be-warm Sunday. But all I can say is wow, amazing. Yayyyy (:
