Jai ho: the week before

That's right! This time next week it will all be over, the blood, sweat and tears. Had a productive rehearsal tonight and it seems to be coming together! There was some rushing around, as I fear there will be for the rest of week as I actually have to work during the day and then come home and go to rehearsals! Heaven forbid! I was also not as early as I had hoped as I went to a conference this afternoon with the boss. My concern about dressing up was not warranted but I always like to look the part:

Earrings: Primark

Sheer top: Primark

Belt: Primark

Trousers: Next

Shoes: Schuh

Flamingoes on a train

Another day, another dollar. . . . well pound. The weekend came and went in a flash and Monday rolls round again. To take the edge off I put on my new dress (check out that print!). See it here and here:

Cardigan: Primark

Dress: Ruby Belle for Evans

Belt: Primark

Bangles: Accessorize

Leggings: F+F

Socks: Tabio

Shoes: Primark

Liza in the city

Narrowly escaped an attack tonight by two cats, a fox and a badger whom I saw parading accross the front gardens on our street! Had to make a run for it and thankfully remain intact.

Got around to seeing the new SATC film and I was pleasantly surprised! More laughs and storyline than I expected due to the bad reviews that slated it. Admittedly it isn't going to win any awards for best sreenplay or storyline but it was enjoyable and that's the main thing, as films are an escape from everyday life and a method of relaxation you don't always want to be bombarded with a complicated plot and heavy storyline to follow. And I have to say that the appearance of a certain performer was a real treat!

The hot weather this week has forced me to bare flesh (i.e. my legs and arms) in order to attempt to stay cool. Thankfully the cinema was airconditioned so I didn't sweat with the humidity and managed to stay cool in my outfit:

Earrings: Accessorize

Cardigan: New Look

Dress: F+F

Tank: Primark

Young girl

Am exhausted after a 3hr rehearsal tonight to run the whole show. Very ropey but getting there and in a couple of weeks it will all be over!

Ended up looking very Lolita-esque today with the pigtails and flowery top:

Cardigan: Warehouse

Tunic top: Primark

Shorts: Dorothy Perkins

Pumps: New Look

"Once upon a time. . . ."

Second day of training today: People Plus so basically equality and diversity in the workplace! Woo hoo! The highlight of the day? Being able to leave early! ha ha ha! As with most of the training it is pretty basic and self explanatory to those of us with half a brain.

A lot of my clothing has that element of fantasy in it (or fancy dress maybe!) so the necklace I wore today was perfect. It is a gold strand necklace with the words "Once upon a time" hanging. It's from Dorothy Perkins and you can see it here. Decided to get out the Viv tee and jazz it up:

Cardigan: F+F

Gold necklace: Dorothy Perkins

Pearls: vintage (Granny's)

Tee: Vivienne Westwood

Trousers: Next

Socks: Tabio

Shoes: Primark

"Are you havin' a laugh?"

Training today, corporate intro to the company eventhough I've already been there over a week. Such is the slow progress when working for the council. We did the usual ice breaker exercises and spent time talking about the One Leicester strategy and vision for the city. Managed to finish early which is always good as I'm still not used to the long days.

No dress code specified and thought I should dress up for training. Decided on monocrome but with graduating colours so white, pink, red:

Dress: Next

Bow: Topshop

Bangles: Accessorize

Brogues: Primark

"Say cheese!"

Had my photo taken for my ID badge today and it's not a bad pic thankfully! That's always a worry that you will have to live with a bad photo at work. Spent most of the morning emailing and collecting evaluation forms, then I did some top secret confidential work! ooooo!

Decided on an outfit over the weekend assuming the weather would be nice and sunny. Wrong! It was rainy and miserable but my outfit did feel like a ray of sunshine:

Shirt: Dorothy Perkins

Dress: Primark

Tights: F+F

Shoes: Office
