Lily Allen for Chanel

Morning! Just popping in for a quick visit as I’m still rather unwell. Thought to share these fabulous pics of Lily Allen a la Breakfast at Tiffany’s style.

So, the cool songstress is the new face of Chanel - or, rather, the face of Chanel’s brand new handbag collection, the “Chanel Coco Cocoon”, that I’ve been drooling at in the last few weeks in Chanel’s window display in Selfridges.

The bags are reversible, so you can turn them inside out to get two styles in one; the quilted nylon or a plain lambskin. Karl Lagerfeld actually took these pics himself. I think Lily looks great as Audrey Hepburn here, and the adverts are so very tempting to splurge on the what I think are sleeping bag look-a-likes! :-)

Instinctive random thoughts

I have to mop the kitchen floor. I wish I wasn’t ill now, just as weekend is coming up, but am trying to persuade myself that it’s a good thing, cos at least Bear will be home to look after me. I need a hair cut. It's Sean's birthday in a month and I need to start organising. Love really makes everything really beautiful. My love for Sean is immeasurable. I need to drag myself to the nearest chemist to stock up in preparation for my very sore throat. I can’t wait for Christmas, if I could, I would start the decorations already! Soon I will turn 34. Its inevitable. Can't help it. Don't mind actually! ;-) We have to buy the Range Rover jeep asap. I am really looking forward to watch new romcom with Scottish hunk Gerard Butler "The Ugly Truth" which is on my laptop waiting to be seen. I love my blackberry and don’t know I could live without it before. I desperately need a manicure. I wish my Mum was here to bring me warm soup in bed. I’m glad the latest issue of InStyle came in the post yesterday, just before the strike started today. Would love to go to IKEA soon, have to persuade Bear. I should hit the bed. Im really feeling unwell now....

Maybe...

The love of my life, still very ill, but adorable as always (here wearing my old cardigan that unbelievably my Mum kept all these years)

Maybe... it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it..

But another thing that is also true is that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives...

May I present....

...Olivia, 2 weeks old and the gorgeous daughter of my very near and dear friend, Alina. Awwww, I love babies!! I think I want another one! Now! Please??!! ;-) LOL

Popped out for a coffee for me and Bear (who's working from home today). Dressed Sean in his new sweater and a warm hat today despite the nice weather, as his very stubborn and nasty cold does not seem to be going anywhere soon.. Will therefore have to leave him at home later, when I'm going to see Alina and her nearly two week old baby.

Stripey Ralph Lauren & 5am rise

Morning! Here in our household we've been up since 5am, when it was completely quiet and dark outside. It's only now, an hour and a half later, that it's getting brighter and you start hearing traffic. I love that time of the day, it's so serene and peaceful.

Last night Bear came home with a pressie for Sean to celebrate him turning 11 months old! A beautiful Ralph Lauren blue stripey sweater with buttons on the shoulder, nautical style. He likes to keep our baba up with the latest fashion! :-)

Stella McCartney For Gap Kids

Hello, good morning from a pretty miserable London (as opposed to yesterday’s sunny 18 degrees).

Today I got my first look at Stella McCartney's GAP Kids ads. How adorable are these children?? Supposedly she found them on Facebook..

Well I think the line-up (all vegan by the way) that features military jackets, hooded parkas and other just cool casuals are great, and I will definitely go and check it out when it hits select the stores on November 2nd!

Now I'm going to give my little one some TLC, as he woke up with a bad cold and a fever. Awww, poor baba.

Gorgeous kiddy stuff by Stella - this blazer and jeans would be perfect for Sean on New Years, in combination with a pair of white Converse All Star and a white shirt

The weekend (with Dad visiting) in pics

Dressed to impress (NOT lol)

Seany and I, both wearing a track suit and our new jackets. Him in his leather biker one and I'm wearing my new cosy Juicy puffa jacket, going to this week's last play group.

Early x-mas present

Here are pics of the fab black long hooded figure hugging puffa jacket that I treated myself to (early x-mas gift) from Juicy Couture yesterday:

Parent & children 'Open House' at the Swedish church

Earlier today I took Sean to the weekly play group held at the Swedish Church in central London. Normally we have other arrangements on Tuesday afternoons, but as my friends Viki and Sara were going (with their babies similar age to Sean), I thought it would be nice to see them, and also for Sean to participate in the sing song towards the end, in the Swedish language for once.

Have now decided to go there more regularly as Sean is becoming more and more alert and picking up words etc. It is very important for me to make him fluent in what's my mother tongue.

Mother and son quality time

Good morning! Sean and I, both dressed in grey knitted jumpers (Im wearing Bear's!), having play-time, that turned in to sleepy-time! lol

Today's shopping

Includes a leather biker jacket, knitted "granddad" jumper, black corduroy trousers and a top with "Rolling Stones London" on it

Sunday lunching in St Johns Wood

I had the beef bourguignon with a creamy potato gratin with green beans

Bear ate a steak sandwich

we then stopped at Starbucks on our way home for our daily caffein fix

Night night from us

Now that Baby Bear is old enough, we have finally bought a proper cot duvet and junior pillow for him. He really looks so cosy I wish I could crawl in there with him. LOL! Awwww I just love him so much!

dragging your feet in UGG boots?

Morning! Ever since UGG boots became fashion a few years back, I've really liked them. However, I have not yet succumbed to buying a pair and the main reason for that is that I see alot of girls who drag their feet when they wear them, and that is a TERRIBLE look.



Now, I don't know why that happens, and thought if I spend £200 or however much they are, and then find that the same thing starts happening with mine, I'll be way pissed off. I wonder how and why that happens. Is it because the upper is too light and the bottoms heavy, there is no arch support, too wide or people are wearing a size too big which leaves a lot of room for sliding and dragging, or does it only happen to fake UGGs?

Can anyone enlighten me pls, why does the heel collapse in some UGG's??

In the meantime, here are a few pics from yesterday.
