Saturday Mini-Shop

Had a restrained semi-shop in Nuffield Street this afternoon (lovely as always - and I was v financially restrained). Put some hard earned dollars on this lay-by I have at Karen Walker...

... Love this top sooo much - and was aching to buy it to wear tonight. But was good and didn't.

Tried on these sick Ksubi Jeans in Superette (took about ten minutes to get into - when they say spray on they mean it - but was so worth it).

And I am still in love with these Helter Skelter sunnies from Karen Walker. Got Mama's approval today... Am think I will inevitably invest. They are too perfect. A refreshing change from all the large styles. Love the delicate metal arms and nose bridge - and the little gold arrows. I lust after the tortoiseshell pair. Perfect.

Baby We Were Born To Run

So I've been searching for the perfect pair of running shorts for over a year now. Every pair I tried was either A) too long and baggy and swamped my frame, or B) way to tight and short and inappropriate. I had pretty much given up all hope, and resigned myself to the fact that I'd be wearing my old faithful Canterbury shorts for ever.

But today I went into the Adidas store in Newmarket.. And found THE perfect pair!!! 

Adidas by Stella McCartney "Run Woven Shorts" .. Short and just loose enough, gorgeous gather details. Really feminine but not overly so. The store only had the grey pair (small picture) but I prefer them to the black anyway. Couldn't have been more perfect... Except they didn't have my size!!! Typical luck. Karma hates me.
