I don't really have much to say about our upcoming trip today. I don't want to keep posting pictures of the places we'll visit or there won't be anything to post about when I get home! So, although the title is about our trip (the countdown continues) this post isn't really.This post is about 'fashion'! (well it's about clothes/shoes, I can't say I'm that fashionable!) I just realized I never took photos of the goodies I bought while Jason was away and had the camera with him. And I also realized that most of you don't visit my knitting blog very much and I don't post here about when I add stuff 'over there'. So, to kill two birds with one stone I thought I'd add the picture here that I posted on my knitting blog this week. This way you get to see my handiwork (in the bolero I just finished for Moi) AND you get to see the Anne Klein jeans that I bought the other week.
My other goodies included a nice skirt and 2 tops plus a classic white shirt. But I haven't taken pictures of those yet so I can't post them right now. I can post pics of my VERY EXPENSIVE new shoes ;-) I splashed out last week and bought a pair of Coach Sneakers.
I say 'very expensive' because they are the most I have ever paid for a pair of shoes before. I've never really been in to shoes before and just stick to a few pair that are comfortable - but it's kind of boring wearing the same ones with EVERY outfit. So this year, because I'm taking the time to put a 'classic' wardrobe together for myself, I am aiming to build up my shoe collection so I can wear shoes that match my outfits. In saying all that, these shoes don't really match an outfit but I will be wearing them come the fall with my jeans and casual capris :-) I just think they look so cute and I love the peach color on them. They're not to everyone's taste I'm sure.... but I love them!
Today Kiki and I will be going round to the pool for an hour or so. Yesterday despite the heat it was very cloudy until later in the afternoon, so we didn't bother going. Today is bright and sunny with a high of 96!

Hi Denise! Your fashion purchases are great and love the bolero you knit. I'm sure Sadie is coveting that! I have black signature (cc's) tennis shoes so I don't worry about them getting dirty as much. I wonder if it would be safe to "Scotchguard" them? That would repel the dirt and also rain. You could try emailing Coach and see what they'd say.
well, I just love everything that you've shown today. When I go for my walks with humbug, I always wear my plimsolls because I learned the hard way that walking for an hour in high heels is NOT a good idea! ha ha ha. So while I am always buying heels, I am always walking in plimsolls. I'd love yours 'sneakers' as you call them, very lovely.
And, I love your hand knitted top! I've just sent yet another email to the cashmere place as my brown ballet wrap still hasn't arrived, and they've not replied to my emails. I'm going to wait until the post has been tomorrow, and if it's still not here, I'm going to call them. I'm gutted, when I ordered the first one it was here within the week. It's been almost two weeks since I ordered the latest one. :O( I so wish I could knit, I'd knit myself a dozen in different colours!
Time to dunk the girl in the bath, so I'd better get a move on.Have a great day, hope it's not too hot for you xxxx
Oh Denise! I love the sneakers! The peach color is wonderful! You will be the toast of the town! I can't believe you knitted that little sweater! You are good girl. Have a good day. Hugs
Hi Denise! Oh look at you in that darling bolero you knitted! You are so skinny...I'm jealous! Love your Coach tennis shoes. ((BIG HUGS))
Hi sweetie! I love the new shoes and the bolero is adorable! I really should learn how to knit. Maybe someday when I'm bored, lol. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the pool. Big hugs!
Hi Denise! Now only 1 week to go! Hope you have a great weekend! (((Hugz)))rxtpok
You've taken the plunge, now you'll get addicted to cute shoes...you see, that little bug will having you think "hmmm...those are cute, I need those too". Collecting shoes is a passion of mine, so I'm sure you'll enjoy your cute purchase.
Very cute bolero...clever you. I must go visit your knitting blog again.
Have an awesome weekend. Wow, your trip is so close now, I'm excited for you. Can I sneak into your luggage and you can drop me off at Harrods and a cup of tea with "Lizzie Windsor"! xx
Hi Denise,
What fun shoes! I can't wait to see you wearing them. Thanks for the visits too. I wish I was going to England. I would be counting down too but even more so if I was going to see my family. HUGS
What cool shoes! They will be fun to wear as you walk about England :)
