When on Oxford Street yesterday for my Bravissimo fitting I decided a wednesday afternoon would be as good a time as any to brave the Oxford Street Primark. Walking in, I was greeted by an array of 50s style dresses. I absolutely hate the term "Prom Dresses" so I'm not going to use that, but there was quite a selection of full skirted, sweetheart necked treasures up for grabs. So I settled on one.
I thought this was nice, as tying it around the waist makes sure you don't obscure the shape of the dress or the belt, and the pattern and shape of the top part of the dress is still visible through the fabric, whilst adding a layer of warmth. I'd layer it again with a leather jacket and a silk headscarf.
So today I decided to finally pull myself out of bed around 2pm and throw on some clothes. I'd decided to take the day off uni anyhow, because I wasn't feeling too great and didn't have much personal interest in today's class on book agents, so I decided to wander to Richmond too and do what I tend to when I feel the need to indulge myself and relax - I went to the cinema and bought some cheese, of course!
I saw the Black Swan which I had been meaning to see for ages, but was with Matt in Leeds when the girls I live with went to see it. I think maybe it's because there had been so much hype, and lots of people said they were a little disappointed, that I wasn't expecting much. Man, was I surprised! It completely blew me away. Although I thought some of the scenes were a bit sick (peeling skin off your fingers anyone?) I generally really enjoyed it and could not believe Natalie Portman's performance and the sheer sex appeal of Mila Kunis - hubba hubba!!
After the film I wandered to Waitrose to check if they had the cheese in stock that I had read about in this Month's Waitrose Kitchen. It's called Raging Bull and I've been searching for it in various branches for a week or so and can never find it! Some of you might know that I'm a bit of a foodie, and I've set myself a challenge. Everytime I buy cheese from now on (which will be often, because I adore cheese) I'm going to try a new kind. No more bog standard cheddar or packaged brie for I! No, i'm going to try the whole of the cheese counter. I've been thinking for a while that I may start a food blog for my adventures into gastromony, as I'm not sure many of you will be interested in my thoughts on various smoked hams etc. So, I may begin by recording my cheesy challenge. If so, I'll let anyone who's interested know the URL.
