May I have some more cheese please?

Last night I moaned at my Mum and told her not to eat all the cheddar as I wanted cheese on toast for lunch. So like a good Mummy, she put it back and ate smelly blue cheese instead.

So lunch time comes, and like planned I go to make cheese on toast. Only to find there was a tiny amount left! To my horror, my Dad told me he had had some with his lunch. How rude, I can't believe he ate the cheese out of his own fridge.

After eating my sorry looking lunch my friend sends me an email containing this-

'Mario's Cafe in Warren Street, London, do a big breakfast for £10.
Eat it all in 20 mins with no drink to wash it down with and you get it free.
It's 10 eggs, 10 bacon, 10 sausage, 10 toast, 5 black puddings, tomatoes,
beans and mushrooms. No Chips !!!'

Even though I know that I couldn't eat all of this, I still felt sorry for myself...

Then the doorbell rang and it was the postman with my shoes from River Island 'HOORAY!'.
I wripped open the parcel all excited like it was Christmas, but then felt like I had been given a Cindy doll instead of a Barbie (everyone knows Barbie is better).
They were stone and not white, and looked like flippers...

Serves me right for buying mens shoes I guess. But I am a 7/8 so thought they would be OK.

Buttons

When I see buttons I have the urge to buy them. I have bags of the things!
I went to Romford market and I found this craft stall that was selling bags of buttons for 50p...
So I got 5 bags.

Not sure what I'm going to do with them all? Maybe I will put them on my blazer but I think they are too small?

As you can see from this lot, I love anchors. I'm going to put the anchor patch on a pair of boat shoes I have.

Once I have decided what to do with all the buttons, I will post a photo.



Also, I really want these off ebay

Thailand

Last year I went to Thailand and loved it. We stayed in Cha Am and traveled to Hua Hin and Bangkok.
This was our amazing hotel which was right on the beach.

This year my boyfriend and I are going back to Thailand, but this time we are spending 10 days in Phuket and 2 days in Bankok. I'm SO excited.

In less then 3 months I will be on this very beach-

So I bought this bikini from La Senza and I am in love with it.
I was wearing the wrong foundation when this photo was taken.

I got it with the matching shorts because I don't like the tiny string things that don't even cover one bum cheek.
I think this is possibly the best bikini I have ever bought. What could be better then multi coloured leopard print??

Now I just have to find some nice sandals...

May I have your opinion

I want to start wearing high heels more often. But my feet just can't cope unless they are little heels like in my last blog.

I would love to wear ones like this
But my feet are telling me noooo...but my body...my body is telling me yyeeesss...

So is something like this going to be good for me?
I was thinking that maybe they are a better option as they have a wedge at the front and my foot would be all strapped in.

I am just fed up of buying beautiful shoes, wearing then once and then never again.

Boys don't have these problems do they?! It's tough being a girl.

May I have a pair of these shoes please?

I really want these shoes!! Leather uppers, with leather snakeskin detail on the heel. You can't see from the photo, but there are also 3 little metal stads down the back. So cute. And court shoes are the only heels that I can manage to wear longer then 10 minutes.
(Please ignore the towel in the floor, pretend it isn't there)
I wore these heels Friday night. I started walking to the station from my house and thought to myself 'why am I wearing them to travel in? I will just put my flats on untill I get to Liverpool Street station'. So that's what I done.

So then my sister and I were walking around trying to find our bus stop, when I had to stop to put my flats back on, and I said to my sister 'I'll put my heels back on once I get on the bus'. But I never put them back on and carried around those damn shoes in my bag all night.

That would never had happened if I had these babies on my feet. I would have been dancing around and would never have moaned once I swear! Whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Friday frolics

Congratulations Ben and Lauren Rayner!
On Friday this lovely pair got hitched and Katie and I were invited to celebrate at the reception (this may or may not have involved Katie and I having a tipple. But we defo helped them celebrate).

Lauren looked beautiful in her gorgeous Prada dress and Ben looked very smart in his suit and bow tie.

Whilst Katie and I looked like utter babes -

We hung out with old friends and made new ones. I do love a good wedding!

After a few drinks we found the courage to do karaoke and sing Blur's 'Coffee and tv'. This was the out come...
Never again.

Unfortunately we had to leave the party at 9 as we had other commitments. Katie was meant to be djing at the Old Blue Last in Old Street and was going to be the supportive girlfriend/friend as Celestial Bodies and Old Minnows were playing. And I had to go to a club to celebrate a friends birthday. It is a very hard life being young ladies in demand.But 9 turned into 10, 10 turned into 11 and before we new it, it was half 11 and we still hadn't left yet. So we hurried round and said goodbye to everyone and jumped in a black cab. We were like Carrie and Samantha in Sex and the City.
After a 2 minute cab journey and £6 later, we arrived at the Old Blue Last. We hurried in and bumped into the lovely Pam Hogg

We were very excited by this but played it cool and Katie acted as though she didn't even care that she had Pam's kiss on her cheek.

It was only a flying visit on my half. I flew in, said hi to friends, cheered on Oh Minnows
Then jumped in another cab and was driven to 80's club Reflex
After dancing the night away, I then returned home a very tired, but happy Lucie.

Step by step guide

As promised, here is a step by step guide of how to make your old jeans into a skirt!

First draw a line on each leg in a washable felt tip as a guide to how long you want your skirt to be. Do this whilst wearing them and make sure you draw the line at least an inch lower then where you want the skirt to sit, this is to allow for errors (like if your left handed friend uses right handed scissors).
Then cut along the lines and then through the middle. Your jeans should now look like this-
Next lay your skirt flat, you will notice that the middle will stick up. So you need to cut up the curve and sew it together.
On this skirt, we cut to where the scissors are pointing. This is just before the curve goes straight. After cutting, your skirt should look like this-
Next pin them together-
Then sew them together
Once you have sewed them together put the skirt on and get a friend to cut the bottom straight. Or you can lay it on a flat surface and cut it straight yourself. But I think it always comes out better and is more fun when you have a friend to help you.
You will notice that the back looks a bit like this-
This is how you sort it out:
First cut all the way along the middle to nearly the top of the pockets. Be careful not to cut too far up as you may not be able to sew the top back together again.
Pin together and sew all the way to the bottom.
Once you have done this, cut the back level with the front-
Now you have your very own skirt!!
You can add brooches, sequins, patches, anything you like to make it your own style.
Enjoy :)
