The Fashion Designer and more of my blogging journal

Saturday morning I had the opportunity to see some of the creations of Zoe Boomer, originally from N Ireland and now a London fashion designer (yes – how glamorous!).  Zoe is the wee sister of a good friend (Hi Sue) and the sisters hosted a fashion and charity coffee morning in aid of Save the Children fund.

It was lovely to see Zoe’s designs – her work is amazing, and we even tried a few things on. I bought a versatile wrap in a inky/petrol/aubergine colour, it is beautifully floaty and was shown numerous ways to wear it.

Here is the lovely Zoe

And a few of the items being tried on.

It was much more fun than a typical shopping experience, trying clothes on behind screens in the living room, being able to walk around the house, getting lots of opinions and suggestions from friends.  All in such a friendly and relaxed environment, unlike most designer boutiques which intimidate the life out of me!

It was such a lovely warm morning, we were then able to enjoy our coffee and tea out in the garden – all very civilised and all in a great cause – Save the Children Fund.

So …. back to reality!  My blog journal. 

I am (mostly) enjoying creating this record, but sometimes the topics are a bit more of a challenge.  Today I plan to add quite a number, so bear with me please!!!


Day 16 – My Worst Habit

Probably my tendancy to accumulate clutter, and my ability to totally ignore the clutter if I am engrossed with my jewellery making.  I’m also very good at procrastination. 

If you want to know more of my bad habits you should ask my husband!


Day 17 – Pet Peeves

Unreliability and un-punctuality
Rudeness and disrespectfulness

I think that covers it!

So, over to you – anything you would care to share? You know I love to read your comments.
