Suited and Booted

After last nights' live gig at the Nursery Tavern, which I have to say was fantastic and included an amazing bluegrass band called The Brave Sons of Elijah Perry, I was surprised that I actually managed to get up in time for my 7:30am train to London this morning for the RICS Planning Conference, let alone look any good in doing so. Anyway, I did manage it and opted to wear my best suit and briefcase for the event. The surveying profession is still quite male dominated, and dressed like this I really feel I can hold my own in that setting. In some ways I do feel a little masculine in this suit, but in a good, strong, confident way. The Pink Aspinal of London briefcase, a gift from hubby a couple of christmasses back, is just enough to make it look feminine again, but still corporate.

Anyway, after all the fun of the planning conference (which believe it or not is very interesting... well at least I think so). I walked along Oxford St, taking in the sun and plenty of shops along the way. I have to say, I adore all the romantic girly floral accessories in Topshop at the moment, it's just dreamy. I also took a visit to the Fever shop, a favourite haunt of Roisin, where I purchased the Maui maxi dress. It's gorgeous.  I also bought hubby a record deck which hooks up the computer so he can transfer his vinyl to his MP3 player, so I was definitely in his good books when I got home. Now, I'm off to make some bunting for my impending camping trip.
