Thursday Awful Selfie day.
100% Chanel.
Spilled strawberries on my skirt, bummer.

I'm sorry for the strawberry incident but you look beautiful for what I can see, I like the different textures of the black 'suit'.

Chanel ad H seem to do pretty well out of us I must say. Perhaps they should offer us a group discount? ;)
 
I leave the bottom most straps buckled up. So I only have to do up 2 buckles per shoe.
This is a good tip!

Thank you, and I agree...let's get to work on the group discount :)

I have 2 pairs of caged rock studs but never wear them because the straps are annoying to buckle up. Am I the only one who feels this way? Any advice to get over it and start wearing them?

I'd like to help but I can't do V Rock Studs, I do have plenty of other annoying shoes that need 10 mins to put on. I find the best thing to do is be realistic about when time allows for such shoes/boots. Leave them out with the outfit to wear overnight or just ready and tell yourself you are getting dressed like a queen.

Royalty in the past had tens of people to dress them for every occasion. I'm sure thin straps and tiny buckles, bows and lacing are a hangover from that time which is why these things look more dressy and formal and drive us crazy since they demand assistance. Velcro strips, zips and slip-ons are additions to products invented for people with no help.
 
I love the day time flights. They are so much easier. And you don’t have to worry if your room is ready when you get there.

Have a great day
100%! Yet another positive of the day time flight; these need to be expanded to other destinations! As far as I know it’s just to London. I was having a coffee at the bar off the hotel’s lobby this morning, and it was packed with very tired looking people checking in after their red eye flights. Meanwhile I was sitting there refreshed and ready for my day!

I'm going to have delay dress-up Thursday to Saturday because:

1. My workplace closed and so I was forced to work from home. A last min switch that put me in a panic all morning.

2. I had to record the presentation for today (you only see the PPT and screen-media). Happily, it was on e-media so it was even more fitting than live. It also meant I spent longer recording/uploading it and writing supporting notes than going to and fro (for 4 hours) and delivering live. In addition, I had a very important, finicky doc to scrutinise with deadline today.

3. There was/is 2" foot of snow that has been replenishing itself throughout the day and it's -2 (-4 windchill).

4. I can deal with this weather in Scotland but I just can't 'down South'. Nor can the infrastructure it seems.

Therefore I've been avoiding dressing-up kitted out in a Chanel ski sweater, sheepskin boots and leggings all day, hibernating in front of the fire and trying to keep the cats from jumping on my keyboard and meowing into the mic. I did wear an H scarf though.

I could not believe the snow/wind/cold today - one would think this was upstate NY! You’re right that the infrastructure totally couldn’t handle it; sidewalks were slippery and slushy and everything was running with delays. Tomorrow’s not looking much better unfortunately, but I never let things like this stop me from enjoying my day!

I did, however, get to take this photo of St. Paul’s Cathedral that I wanted to share with the group! IMG_7895.jpg
