great weekend

Last minute friday nite i decided to pack bags and head for the hills(i.e my friend g's house just outside dublin). Was wrecked from allnighter getting stuff done for fri morning deadline but needed to destress and knowing the girls are always on the permanent rip I felt they were the perfect outlet.

Rushed to train station only to find the train was massively delayed. Almost turned back home as was wearing innappropriate open toed little shoes and bracelet sleevet jacket and it was horrifically cold and rainy. But persevered and eventually arrived at the lovely cosy apartment inthe stix bout 10 pm. Straight in2 shower and some heated rollers to turn hair to some semblence of stylishness and i was on my way.

As usual ur chaton was charged with making the drinks. After 2 each of the following cocktail we were so well on and ready 4 the club.

In a large wineglass mix the following:
Large slosh of vodka(quater glass)
Large slosh of premixed rum and mango cocktail(slightly more than a quater glass)
smaller slosh of sparkling wine
Top up with seven-up to make it just drinkable.

Result: Rocketfuel Yummy.

Into the cab where there was much screaming dont know how we didnt crash
tumbled out of the cab at club and proceded to drink bodyweight of 3euro vodkas.

There were no REPEAT NO hotties at the club taking my fancy grr so got sloshed and did some silly dancefloor invading instead.
M(attached) and I (single) managed to get separated from the local's somehow and got a lil lost (although it is the world smallest club but i did mention we were pissed by now). We ended up waiting outside the club (which is right by sea and therefore f@*king freezing) Sans jacket in very short but gorgeous grey frilled dress bought in Italy and (now slightly scratched) silver Guess platforms generally falling off windowledges where we we're perched and shouting at people who picked up dropped handbags.

Eventually the rest of the posse appeared and our taxi was summoned promptly to take us back to the apartment. On arrival your poored exhausted chaton who had been up for 24hours at this stage flaked on G's humungous sofa still in frilly dress and promptly went unconscious.

Bank Holiday Monday

Recently left work to "freelance" Hence time to blog hurrah!

Read a little. Finished Vanity Fair.
Downloaded a movie Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. I read the book a lil while ago, it's mental so dying to see how it translates. Will watch it later this week.
Listening to Amy Winehouse, John Legend. Uploaded some pics of friends and nites out to a myspace page.

Bank holiday activity: Take dog to the phoenix park
Outfit choice: Needs to be very casual, yet stylish enough in case of cute male dogwalkers. One of the incredibly rare occasions where even i will admit defeat on the high heel front. Desperately wanted to wear purple velvet platforms today (just got a velvet platform urge, you know what its like...)
Decided on little leopard print flats by ki kutsu. They are between a ballet flat and a lil trainer pump. Building around these i went for very old flared jeans. The are perfectly aged in that they have a couple of sexy rips even one that shows a peek of pants if you know where to look!
Put this with a little vintage knit. Its like an airtex knit so is kind of sheer. As top is not exactly warm layered it with teeny black hoodie with sculptural puffed sleeves and then a tan leather jacket. Finished the jeans off (as the zipper is not what it was) with a vintage brown leather belt with gorgeous silver buckle. Got this belt and the jumper from absolute vintage in London during pre-xmas visit. LOVED IT!
Anyway hair was straightened yesterday and as it is usually crazy curly it had gotten to that silky straight but desperately longing to be curly again look (mostly straight with pretty bed head kinks) If i tried to pay a hairdresser to do this they would charge me a mint and wudnt get it right, why is life so hard :-D
To accesorise: Cheapo but look good mustard coloured sunglasses and little wooden bracelet with tacky beads containing images of religious icons.
Underwwear: Nude bra with peach bows and peach full pants with bum frills. Not a set but look good together.

I need to get back to work, its so hard to focus sometimes been procrastinating for 2 hours. Will work late to make up. Deadline at end of week. eek. Sometimes I feel like I sabotage myself intentionally by waiting till the last minute to do work.
