I LOVE that blue nightdress - too fabulous to hide it from the world. That market looks like a blast - I sometimes like to visit neighbourhoods that have seen better days, as long as they aren't too dodgy that is. Waiting to hear back from jobs is the WORST!! I remeber I applied for a job once and I went back twice for all kinds of testing and stuff and they left me hanging for SIX WEEKS...then rang me on the seventh to tell me funding had been cut and they weren't hiring anyone.

You look divine, darlin'; not at all bluesy!<br /><br />Things are still really warm and sunny here on the west coast. (Sorry!) But then we're not in glorious England! I'd seriously leave for there tomorrow if I had a ticket. I LOVE England in October.<br /><br />Gosh, what a fun, vintage shop! I would have been all over that 99p rack like a fly on flypaper!

I'm sorry it's been so dreary. It's been raining here all day and I can't imagine day after day of it. You do look fab in blue however!! I agree, covering up those gorgeous sleeves would be a crime. <br /><br />The Nichols Building is fascinating. Whenever I see older buildings I start to imagine what some real money could do to reinvent them and save what's lovely about them. I love the mosaic work. I also love the mid-century stuff they have on display. I hope your flea market weather is good. Maybe skip the umbrella if it's not and just wear a waterproof poncho or something.

I've seen lots of them in my time in Canada, but none as nice as the one you bought. They seem to have them in places like the International House of Pancakes. (Also called "Ihop.") I'm sure I've seen similar in New York too.<br /><br />Sorry that you are feeling less than perky.

Feel in a bit of a slump myself but I always seem to go up then down then back up ad infinitum, so just hanging on for the up bit again. That big vintage market looks very tempting, would be fun just to go window shopping there, the bright maxi dress looks so your style, shame it wasn't on the 99p rail. It sounds so frustrating about those HR people, I know no news is good news but still, that's a long time to keep you hanging on!
