I was really looking forward to Sunday, spending a couple of hours hunting for some vintage bargains. I woke up however to miserable weather; wet and windy and the inconvenience of Chelsea playing Liverpool at home. I couldn't face battling footie fans and rain so I gave the Chelsea Town Hall a miss.
Instead I spent my Sunday watching the footie (I did pop out at half time to try some skinny jeans on in Gap - no purchase made, not that nice and too close to pay day) and Burn After Reading at Odeon. Note to reader: it received mixed reviews for a reason. Brad Pitt slightly amusing and it has a couple of funny scenes (just) but like Country for Old Men, couldn't quite see what the fuss was about. Although, Country for Old Men was at least beautifully shot.
This was all after my weekly fix of FROCK ME. Which wasn't so enjoyable this week. I don't know why - maybe it was the goth look that turned me off or maybe it was the really annoying stylist who just cannot present to save her life. I still love the idea that there is a whole show dedicated to making clothes though. My brother mentioned a series called British Style Genius that I am definitely tuning into on bbc iplayer. Five one hour programmes started on 7 October which examine looks and trends which have defined British Fashion. Going to check these out this week.
As I mentioned I contacted a couple of places about sewing courses to start in the new year. Not one of them has got back to me, so I have to chase that up this week. As well as asking Santa for a sewing machine this Christmas...
