Ladies at lunch.

Hello there, fab day for lunch with a friend.

Isn't it nice to catch up with a friend for lunch?  I love doing it but unfortunately not often enough.
When I meet this friend in particular we always seem to fall into the same routine, I drive, we chat about everything that's happened since we last met up and on auto pilot we end up at the same restaurant, at the same table.  Curious creatures of habit!  Said table was in Pizza Express - was the same meal chosen?  Funnily enough I would usually say yes to that question, but no I opted for a different pizza, one with fiery, hot chillies and I must say it was good, washed down with a lovely cold white wine spritzer - well it was lunch time.  So nice to find out what each other has been up to, what the children are doing and where our next holidays are planned for.
Do you like catching up with friends?  Where is your favourite eatery?

So with the sales in full swing, I've taken advantage of these fully on my latest little shopping spree.
There's so much to choose from and I want it all!  Actually I'm rather proud to say I only purchased two sale items, although I could have found loads more.  I did buy one non-sale item, some much needed crop jeans.  I've wanted some for a while now and upon seeing the gorgeous Tania from 50isnotold sporting some in her latest blog  - I went on a mission to find some.  Success - so pleased with these from Next, I can't wait to style and wear them (probably tomorrow ;-p)

Also I came home with these fabulous white wedge peep toe beauties from Dorothy Perkins and only £20.  I do love a wedge they're much more suitable when I'm running here and popping there - I feel safer in them that tottering around on heels.  Don't get me wrong I do love wearing heels at times, but they do make my feet ache!!
In store they had both white and tan, with a cork style wedge that is just the right height to be stylish but equally comfortable.  I hadn't seen before in DP's they had wide fit with spongy insoles - fab!  I choose white as I recently bought a pair of tan sandals and don't need two pairs...do I???

How do you like them?
Last but not least, this super stunning necklace from Dotty P's, an absolute steel at £5! Did I tell you I love a bargain? lol.  A super cute flower detail in white with a diamante in-between. It's stunning, just the right length to cover my next and being a neutral colour will suit many of my ideas for forthcoming outfits.  Watch out for it in the next few weeks.

Linking up with these two fab blogs theredclosetdiary and twentiesgirlstyle for great inspo - go check em' out!!
OK have a super rest of the day/night...see you tomorrow.. X
