Birthday hoo-ray!

Hey homies old and new! How goes it on this chilly January eve? (FOR REAL what is this sub-arctic North Pole jingle-bell type icy weather though? - RUDE is what is bloomin' is!) 

Yes, January is the month of depression and conflicting subliminal and social messages driving me people to crave copious amounts of warm stodgy comfort food whilst watching adverts for Imogen Thomas exercise dvds or reading articles on how to 'get a bum like Pippa's' exclusively from her pilates teacher. Needless to say, I skipped hurriedly past that article...

For all the doom and gloom though, January is also...the month of my BIRTHDAY. Whoop-whoop. My bestie/life partner/hairdresser/life-counsellor did a really beautiful blog about it on the day. I tried to cry tears of joy in appreciation but the cold froze them onto my eyelashes soooo.... 

I actually had to work on my birthday (booooooo!!!) so I couldn't wear the planned denim short-shorts and loose jumper combo that I had planned...something about a dress code....?!?

Plus I was treated to an AMAZING birthday dinner at the Oxo tower and I'm not sure how the maitre-d would have taken to that particular outfit...so, here is my sensible birthday outfit....

The other birthday pics are more Bossip than blogger so yeah...enjoy! (yes the pictures are hazy but that is because of the water droplets evaporating from the Thames)
