This is one of those annoyingly chirpy/smug posts. If you are feeling cranky or have had a shiteous day, you probably won’t want to read it.
It is a simple list of some of the good stuff that has been happening in my life lately. It probably constitutes “showing off a bit”.
Right now, I’m off to chatter with some bluebirds, squirrels and chipmunks about how wonderfully chipper everything is.

Good stuff that has happened in my life lately:
- I’ve spent lots of time in London with some lovely people
- I’ve finally been to the Primrose Bakery
- Wahaca serve pork scratchings with guacamole
- I rode a Boris Bike though Regent’s Park
- The Kooples had a sale
- I’ve been to Graduate Fashion Week
- I’m now writing for bitchbuzz.com
- I have business cards that say “Fashion Journalist”
I’ve worked with my first copywriting client- I’m set to launch my copywriting business “Word Candy” in the next few weeks
- I’m delivering two professional writing workshops for business start-ups (tomorrow – GAH!!!)
- Bookish Brunette is getting a new blog
- I’m going to be an Auntie in a couple of months
- My friends and family are brilliant
- Mid-height block heels are where IT IS AT
- I had one of those lovely “this is my life and it ain’t half bad” moments: I walked out of Earl’s Court, hopped on the Tube to Knightsbridge and walked to Laduree in Harrods. I bought a box of macarons in the brightest, bestest colours they had. I held on to them all the way back home to the Midlands and tucked into them with my husband when I got home. That myth about not being able to have your cake/patisserie and eat it is totally bogus.
Hello! I love, love, love this post – a bit of daily gratitude is a brilliant way of showing yourself that your life is pretty damn fine. The big stuff and the small stuff, it all counts. Congratulations!
Plus, Laduree macarons are amazing. Great photo. I am very jealous that you got to eat them…
Hello there BB!
This post really made me chuckle. Yes, it was ever so slightly smug, but in a rather fabulous way! I am particularly jealous of your visit to Primrose Bakery (which I hardly know anything about but anything that sells cakes, bread and generally unhealthy, sugary things always gets a thumbs up from me) and the delic photo of those macaroons. You can find anything in Harrods, I tell ye.
Look forward to reading more very soon!

PS. Couldn’t agree more on the mid heel statement, too many years I have battled to walk dignified and gracious in super sky scraper heels (to work, to town, even to the park- you name it). Mid heels have got it goin’ on.
Thanks for the lovely comments!
