D D and all that..

Shoes are from the ever so lovely range at Dorothy Perkins.

So, there I was plodding along with life, thinking everything was hunky-dory, when out of the blue a friend of mine shockingly confessed a dislike....for denim dresses. WOW!

 To say I was taken aback was an understatement - how can you not like denim in dress form? She then went on to explain her reasons whilst using words like rodeo, cowboys, stetsons, soccer mom ...seriously, you could have knocked me down with a feather duster!

Dress is from F&F range, bag is by Alexander Wang and the scarf is a vintage find!

Which got me thinking...how often do I see people in my life wearing denim dresses? Am I really the only one in my circle of friends who wears such a thing?

Thank you, Katy for such beaut images.

Undeterred (yet oh so determined to prove a point), I went through my wardrobe and found one of my three denim dresses. Now, usually I wear this beautiful garment with my allstars, but seeing as I my vanity and pride were at stake, I decided to challenge myself to *jazz up* my usual dress with some heels, a neck scarf and some lippy.

 I wore this on a night out with friends (including Ms Denim Detester herself) and the amount of compliments almost made me forget the reason why I deliberately wore said dress in the first place.

Over to you my, beloved readers -

• What are your views on denim dresses?
• Is there a garment which you have very strong views about?

It's a London thing.....Beautiful neighbourhood(s)

WOW!!...I mean Ooops!!

Has it really been over 6 whole months since my last post? Please accept my profound apologises, I'll ensure never to leave such a large gap again....promise

I hope you've all been keeping over during this time? Life for me has been very productive with some rather lovely significant breaks.

I was conversing with various friends about moving houses, buying property and living in new areas, and even though I've been invited to view said new homes, I haven't actually pulled my finger out and made the effort *hang my head in shame*.

It also got me thinking how my fellow Londoners, apart from work, generally stay in their own manors/yards/hoods for rest and play. Seriously, I don't know if it's because we're generally overworked, tired, poor, or just lazy, its a sad fact that once we've plonked our butts in a location, we rarely venture away more than a bus ride away...unless we're leaving the country or something.

Greater London in a colourful nutshell.

Geography even affects how Londoners date. I'll be the first to admit that when a new guy comes into my life, some of the initial thoughts that pop into my head include...

"How many tube changes to get to/from his place"

 "Will I have to travel via central"

"Is his neck of the woods overly susceptible to the dreaded rail replacement bus"

Like I say...so many Questions...so many miles!!

I mean genuine LDR (Long Distance Relationships) i.e if your other half lives/works in, say, New York is undoubtedly Romantic (with a capital R) but residing in the same city but living in SW when you reside in NE? Forget that! That's just long! Way too inconvenient and traumatic!

What do you think of relationships and distance? Good or pointless? Comment below and let me know. xo
