Time to run some errands....
When you are running errands, you want to be comfortable but at the same time, don't want to look completely housewife frumpy. It wasn't a very hot day, so a tank and a light jacket were appropriate, and the scarf added another layer of warmth when the sun hid behind some clouds and the temperature dropped! This was also a very comfortable outfit to wear while watching my team win themselves a place in the top eight! :) Go Dees! x

Casual Friday
TGIF peeps!! This week has just FLOWN by but hey, it’s Friday and I’m definitely not complaining!
Am extremely excited about this outfit today ONLY because I found my black knit vest on my bedroom floor this morning (ask Luke about the dance of joy I did!) which I have been looking for ages. I think this black knit vest might have been one of my best investments EVER. It goes with pretty much everything. Dress it up, dress it down, the possibilities are endless! Today, I have paired it with a skinny black belt (which apparently is one of THE must-have fall accessories) make the whole look a bit more tailored and corporate. Just because it’s casual Friday, it does NOT mean that we have to look like slobs people!
Having said that though, I do feel like my outfit is not quite complete because I have failed to accessorize. I was in such a hurry this morning (it is true what they say, the closer you are, the later you are) that I forgot to wear some earrings, or even a scarf or drop necklace to tie the whole look together.
What are we all wearing today?
Happy weekend. J

What to do with a shrunken vest...
So this morning Luke put on his grey Merino wool vest and found that as he had accidentally washed it in the washing machine, it had shrunk. He could still fit in it, and looked great, BUT, he wasn't comfortable in it, so I pounced! I offered to wear the vest for the day! (Yes, that is my good deed!)
But the upshot of that is that I got a new outfit for the day! And of course, I had to share. Thanks Lukey bear!
Hope you guys like my outfit today! xoxo

Gossip Girl, Season 4, Episode 19
Just when I thought that the return of Louis (or Louie?) the Prince was a bit of a "so what?" It was far from it. I was intending on watching Gossip Girl while culling my wardrobe and clearing my bedroom, but it kept my interested that I just sat there and did nothing but watch the episode.
So Louis is back from Paris, bearing the shoe that Blair left him when she left Paris to come home to Chuck. She had just rejected Chuck for the upteenth time (this is turning out to be a saga, but quite a good one) and turns out that the kiss with Humprhey meant nothing to her, and she realised that all she wanted was to be friends. Unfortunately, Dan has fallen for her - even he can't believe it.
Enters a new character, Charlie, Serena's long lost cousin, who, for some reason (I don't know, she just wanted to fit into the Upper East Side elite or something) does everything a Nosey Parker can do to spy on Dan and Blair. It screws up Dan and Serena's friendship, Serena and Blair's friendship, Dan and Vanessa's friendship and possibly Dan and Blair's friendship. I hope you're happy Charlie! How many bodies do you want to leave in your wake? RUDE!
I hate when Serena and Blair fight. And looks like this one is going to be war.
Which reminds me - what happened to Ben? He was no where to be seen and I can't remember whether he and Serena broke up (CW network, this is why you need to stop taking these massive long breaks in the middle of a season!!!)
Chuck Bass is desperately trying to figure out if Russel Thorpe is lying to him about his father. And even though I was a little annoyed at Chuck Bass last week, he's still got the Bass appeal! Love him.
Nate is being boring and in a love bubble.
But let's talk about the dresses! There were a plethora of beautiful pink dresses on display as Manhattan's who's who (including some women who were absolute bitches!) attended Lily Bass' Pink Party. I personally love everything that Blair wears anyway, and once again she was perfectly stunning in her Oscar de la Renta gown. However, I thought in this particular episode, Serena and Lily might have outshone her!
Serena's dress was a tight, short little number. And while I don't usually like dresses like that, they definitely suit her as they accentuate her long legs and trim figure! No wonder all the top designers want to dress her. BUT, what I really liked about this dress is the detail on the back. The open back dress with suede applique and a mini bustle was absolutely stunning. Loved it!
As for Lily, my research tells me that the stunning one shouldered chiffon gown she wore was a Charles Chang-Lima number from Bergdorf Goodman. Stunning!
Bring on episode 20!
