Hello, what a wonderful Sunny day! and hello to my new followers. Much as I love Phee, its nice to know that someone other than the person I live with (and who therefore is privy to my life first hand) is reading my blog.
Due to a bit of a mix up at work, I ended up enjoying an unexpected day off. After an uneventful excursion into town, in search of a Tangerine cardigan (if you know where I can get one please let me know), and a Green pencil skirt, I wended my way home.
On the way back I popped into a couple of charity shops (hoping to discover the aforementioned items). No joy- but I did find Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex for 99p. So I snapped it up and couldn't resist starting to read it on the walk home (bit of an error). I have only read a tiny bit so far but its fascinating. I don't think Im going to read it cover to cover, just dip in and out of it (haha)- I'll let you know how it goes.
If you want to find out a bit more about Simone de Beauvoir go here, and a little bit about The Second Sex here
I wish I still had access to JSTOR, but sadly my student days are a thing of the past and journals are no longer free.
The weather was so glorious that I decided to take my new book to the park for a picnic.
Just before I go here are a couple of Snaps of me in work attire. We have to wear black but I added coloured tights and a peter pan collar to jazz it up a bit.

The Perfect Picnic Package: Sunnies, Good Book, a Blanket, and some Elderflower Cordial. (I was going to go for Cider, but seeing as I was picnicking alone thought that might be a tad on the alcoholic side). |

| Made some 'friends' |
 |
| I decided that sun glasses, Red Lippy, and a Silk Scarf was a touch on the pretentious side, even for Brighton |
 |
| The Collar was a birthday gift from Phee, she made a blue one too, both from some velvet she got from her grandfather's tailors shop. |
 |
| Apologies for the 'saultry' face. I'm getting fed up of taking photos on my bed but its the only way to get a whole outfit in. |
The weather was ridiculously nice today in Brighton! Ah Queens park! Love that park it's quite close to my house so i like to go there a lot xx
