Feeling v tetchy today. Am unsure whether this is to do with some fairly disappointing news I received yesterday, or the fact that I was up tossing and turning on Thursday night.

Life is rough sometimes.

I know I haven't really been in action of late. The market has in some sense (with its constant sideways trading) flattened me out. But yes, survival is vital key.


Very much so recently, I have been so inspired by Blair in the new Gossip Girl series that even though her wardrobe is supposedly catered to that of a 14-year old upper east side Manhanttan teenager, I was propelled into looking for more work wear. Well, something classy enough to fit me in my comfort zone yet with a pinch of detail enough to make me arch an eyebrow up slightly. Hmm doesn't say enough does it? The email I received in my inbox from R read "Raoul sale 3 days only". So it's out to the shops for me. Crisp white 2-ply egyptian cotton in luxurious lines.

Shopping with LX was enjoyable. Enough shirt buys for the rest of the year.

More, later.
