Dresses, sizing and good old Ebay

I want to wear a dress.  I never "do" dresses but its finally got to me I want to wear one on a daily basis in this weather.  Ive searched and searched for what I would like to wear but can I find one which I like .... in a word .... NO.  I don't understand why shops seem to think that everyone wants to wear something just covering their bum.  I see lovely dresses but way way too short, but then the longer dresses look so frumpy. Just because we aren't young doesn't mean we want to look awful.  You would think designers would  have got the message by now.  All I want is one that is soft lands just below my knees and has 3/4 sleeves.and low low neck so that my boobs hang out .. now how simple is that!  Oh and inexpensive hehehehehehehe.  One day eh one day, or maybe I will have to make my own. 

On re-reading this post I'm actually annoyed that shops don't cater properly for women.  For a start they cant get the sizing right and they automatically think if you are over a certain age you want a certain style.  I actually really really love a dress in New Look but its so short,  it would look great over jeans I am sure but that's not what I want.  I looked at good old British Marks and Spencer online and omg the knee look dresses are absolutely awful.  Where has it all gone wrong they are fuddy duddy and their buyers seem to be out of touch, I noticed from peoples reviews even the older ladies thought the styles not good enough quality or design.  Unfortunately I really don't have much spare cash and that's something else these stores seem to think about.  Sadly in this day and age not everyone has the most wonderful job, if they have one at all, and they certainly don't have money to spend on high end stuff or want to waste on tat from some of the lower end stuff.  I try to customise wherever possible anyway but I really like to try on before I buy and where live we haven't really any good shops at all.  Ive tried on Ebay but the sizing is almost always wrong and I end up making dresses into tops, and I don't always make a good job if it lol.  I just wish there was an answer.  I think basically I should sell all of my clothes that look awful on me and spend the money on just one perfect item ... that is if anyone wants to buy what Ive got so Ebay here we come.

Moody Moo and Cranky

Do you ever get days when you are cranky.  Well the weather is great and I am cranky. WTF.

Lovelypics and ideas

 A lovely idea I would like to adopt .... my own mini bar even though I dont drink it just looks so cute and would definitely look pretty

 Another idea I am going to adopt ... I will have to search for a lovely old silver or silver style tray to put all my candles on.  Love it.

 Both these kitchen so cozy and gorgeous

 Oh my what a room

 Beautiful stairs so wish they were in my house

 Wish this was the entrance to my house ... if I had all these pots for sure they would get stolen.  Ive had that happen to me before and I dont intend to lose them again.

I really love all these pics I dont know where they came from individually so if they belong to anyone please get in touch with me and I will either add your name to them or remove them.  I just think they are all so lovely.

Gorgeous colour and my kinda style

Love the colour of this cardigan

Taken from Closet Visit and its Momo Suzuki

Short Dry Hair Care

For anyone with hair like mine which although very short is now dry and very strong probably due to lack of oestrogen hehe its  hard to find shampoos that aren't too drying and that give loads of shine.  Its taken me a while but I find Organix Coconut shampoo and conditioner brilliant.  Then every week or when I feel it needs it I also give it a good old condition with Hair Mayonnaise, its all fab stuff and well worth trying.  Its not cheap cheap but not too expensive either and if you get them in the UK at Boots on their 3 for 2 offers its well worth a try, otherwise I think they are roughly £5.99 each. I must admit I would love to try Aveda range but sadly its not in my price range and to  be honest what I use I am 100% happy with.

If your hair is short and you need extra shine a bit of definition I use Hairgum Legend Classic Cire Coiffante hair styling pomade, its perfect, a little hold and super shine.  Sadly its really hard to get hold of I am using the last scrapes round the tin .... I really wish I could get some more.

Crazy crazy ... never get sick

Still fighting with the Department of Work and Pensions over stuff. I am going round in circles, my appeal has been turned down cos apparently I was appealing a 2009 decision .... news to me of course. With all the documentation that they have on me in the middle stands my lonely letter saying what I am appealing against and its definitely not a 2009 decision. It just shows that they don't look at anything or don't want to look at anything so now its another letter I have to send or go to a tribunal and get turned down when its them that's made the mistake ... if you understand what I mean. The money this government must waste on this is unbelievable !  Motto of the day is whatever happens "don't get sick !!!"

Oh my what gorgeous boots

Absolutely  gorgeous boots .... I want them.  ( via theyallhateus ).
