DIY DESIRES.

NOW I HAVE A LITTLE MORE MONEY TO THROW AROUND, IVE BEEN PRE-SHOPPING [BEFORE PAYDAY] ONLINE TO FIND SOME NEW PIECES FOR SUMMER. BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME IM ONE OF THE FUSSIEST SHOPPERS. EVER. SO BASICALLY WHAT IM IMAGINING IN MY HEAD AS A MUST-HAVE EITHER DOESNT EXIST, OR COSTS FARRR TOO MUCH MONEY. I REMEMBER THE GOOD OL DAYS THAT CONSISTED OF ME DRIVING 5 MINUTES TO MY LOCAL SPOTLIGHT, RAIDING THE FABRIC SECTIONS FOR CHEAP CUTOFFS, AND BUYING BAGS UPON BAGS OF BEADS, FEATHERS, SHOULDERPADS AND ALLSORTS TO SPRUCE UP MY WARDROBE. WHERE ARE ALL THE DECENT CRAFT/FABRIC STORES IN LONDON? EVEN A GOOGLE SEARCH LOCATED MY NEAREST NOT-HALF-BAD CRAFT SHOP IN ESSEX. [WOOO ROAD TRIP TO HANG OUT WITH THE TOWIE CREW :| ]

EVEN LIVING IN ONE OF THE FASHION CAPITALS OF THE WORLD AND IM FINDING IT TOUGH TO FIND AFFORDABLE AND TRENDY CLOTHES/SHOES/ACCESSORIES I ACTUALLY LIKE. WHAT IM REALLY MISSING RIGHT NOW ARE MY FEATHER SHOULDERPADS I MADE WAY BACK IN MARCH [I THINK] LAST YEAR? I DECIDED THEY WOULDNT JOIN ME ON MY EUROTRIP IN FEAR THEY WOULD BE RUINED BY THE TIME I RETURNED HOME. [BIG REGRET] SO NEXT WEEKEND IM GOING TO BE HUNTING AROUND FOR FEATHERS AND SHOULDER PADS TO SPRUCE UP MY EVERGROWING COLLECTION OF BLAZERS. [FIRST UP, MY FRENCHY-CHIC WHITE BLAZER!] ALSO ON MY TO-DO LIST: DESIGNING A FASCINATOR FOR THE ASCOT RACES IN JUNE [TO MATCH A DRESS I HAVE NOT YET FOUND] CANT WAIT FOR THE RACES! WILL BE SO MUCH FUN. FOR NOW THOUGH IM SKINT TIL PAYDAY THIS WEEK. WOOOOOOOP. X

I MISS MY FEATHERY SHOULDERS...ON MY TO-POST LIST FOR MUM.
