Missing in action

Don't worry - I haven't been abducted by aliens and been forced to involuntarily participate in biological experiments, conducted in order to try to learn more about the human race in order to better ANNIHILATE US FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. 

In fact, it's worse than that - we're in the process of moving house. Thankfully, hubby has been dealing with most of the grottier legal stuff, but even so I am reduced to thinking that actually, given the choice, I would probably say "bring on the aliens". 

Anyway, nothing to report just yet, other than the new house is hopefully going to inspire me to buy, use, review, photograph, and experiment with more make-up than ever before. The lighting is fantastic, and there will be plenty of space to arrange my stash in a much more logical way so that everything gets used, rather than languishing in drawers until it goes off......!

More posts to come, I promise - including a recent mini-haul of Burberry Lip Mists and Lip Velvets (once they arrive, that is!), some No7 eyeshadow trios (which I lurrrrrrrve) and some additions to the Clinique Chubby Stick collection. 

Watch this space, gentle reader.

Did I mention I bought some shoes?

Zoinks! Wowsers! Gadzooks!

No further introduction needed; I have finally caved and bought some Louboutins.

Being up in Manchester on Wednesday afternoon, having got there ridiculously early for a Pearl Jam gig (oh yeah, did I mention I went to see Pearl Jam, too?), we found ourselves at a bit of a loss so I took His Nibs round Selfridges and Harvey Nicks, and BY GOD could I have spent some serious dough. Selfridges had a sale on, so got a couple of bits for Mr S and had dinner in Harvey Nichols' restaurant feeling severely under-dressed (remember - we'd be dressed for Pearl Jam, so it was all about the jeans, battered Converse and a lumberjack shirt. Seriously, the Nineties are not dead).

Whilst there, I tripped and fell over and found myself walking out with a Louboutin bag.

I won't say much, other than this is a moment I have dreamed of for quite some time - yeah, yeah, yeah I know they're just shoes. They even look like "just" shoes (and feel a bit like that too - nothing overly special) but OMFG THEY'RE CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SHOES AND THEY ARE SHINY AND THE SOLES ARE RED. 

I went for some that look normal because I am a normal person, not someone that usually takes to wearing leopard-print, 8-inch heels and peacock feathers. I should get some decent wear out of these.

Pics, just because:

What do you think? Waste of money, or stuff of which dreams are made?
