Coffee and cake



Just a quick mini-post this weekend :-) After not being so great all week, i ended up having emergency root canal treatment yesterday! I've had a week of very little sleep, so haven't been very dressy unfortunately! I did, however, treat myself to this Alexander McQueen scarf from Harvey Nichols the other day, so took it out for a little spin today while celebrating being able to drink coffee and eat cake again!
I'm not a 'skull' person. At all. But there's something about these scarves that i've wanted one for so many years. In the end i decided just to bite the bullet and get one. This was actually from the Men's SS11 collection. I wanted a colour that i could wear all year round, so chose a darker one rather than pastel/ summery colours- especially as summer only lasts about 5 mins in the UK! Just to be clear, i don't usually go out and splurge on designer things.... Just every so often, i allow myself to get something that i know i will love and wear for a long time. The last thing was my YSL Arty that I got in December. I usually stick to high street over expensive designers!!
Anyways i hope you all had a good week. I'm going on holiday on Tuesday :-) Hope i get some sun! I'll be sure to take lots of photos to share with you guys when i get back xxx

PS: MSW now has a Facebook page if anyone uses it :-)

Glad to hear you're well enough to be back on the all important coffee and cake. The chairs in the cafe look divinely comfortable. The remind me of a cafe I used to semi-live in, in DE.

Loving the McQueen purchase. Would love one of the scarves and almost bought a pastel one last year, but it would have literally emptied my account. I agree the black is a classic all year round kind of colour, but I also wear so much black or dark block colours in the winter, that pastel colours can work for me, to give a bit of light. I have to admit, I'm still a little bit regretful that I didn't make a leap of faith on the scarf I saw.

oh you poor thing! An emergency root canal sounds like no fun at all. You definitely deserved a bit of retail therapy to cheer you up! Hope your feeling back up to snuff.

Love,
