I've had a lovely weekend - although the weather hasn't always been so lovely. A gorgeous spring day on Saturday - the perfect day to catch up for brunch with one of my best friends and go shoe and book shopping!
I headed to one of my favourite shoe shops, Nine West and bought some gorgeous summer sandals (I was supposed to be looking for new work shoes but these were much more fun!).
I also treated myself to two new books, Shall We Dance by Maggie Alderson and A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French.

I never plan the shoe shopping, typically end up getting far more than what I set out for. Would love to here how 'shall we dance' pans out...couldn't decide on buying it earlier on....
Books and shoes are the perfect combo! I love shopping for both. :-)
Hehe - I forgot that you live on the other side of the world and was thinking - why is she buying SANDALS? I just bought a woolly hat and am eyeing up gloves...
Am interested to see the Maggie Alderson - is that new? I used to read her columns in I think the Times, and read one of her novels.
OOh, I just love those sandals.... Looks like a profitable afternoon:) Suggestions for naming the new addition: the techno version 'Puta', the homey version 'TIM' (The Ideal Mate), or the literary version 'Darcy'....or something more feminine 'Shiba' (as in Toshiba. I know you'll take your time to find the right name - so good luck!
Sounds like such a fun time- shopping with a friend for shoes and books ;)And those sandals are cute - love the color! And I love Dawn French - she is hilarious! Great buys!
So true: buying work shoes is no fun at all when there are fun shoes to tempt instead.
ooh yes a name for your new computer. You've made me think how sad it will be when this one dies, hopefully not for a very, very long time, as it's where I started my blogging adventure.
ps Lovely to see summer sandals as I contemplate winter boots...
Hi Upasna - I wasn't sure about buying Shall We Dance either but when I saw the cover I was convinced!Not always the smartest way to buy books I know!
Hi softdrink - Me too!! They never fail to disappoint.
Hi Verity - That is funny!! Although our weather over the weekend definitely wasn't sandal weather unfortunately - hopefully this weekend will be much nicer and I can break out the sandals!
Hi T - thanks for the name suggestions! I'm still thinking about it - I feel I need to get used to it first!
Hi Nadia - I love Dawn French too but I haven't read any of her writing before so I will be interested to see how this one goes.
Hi Buried In Print - I know! But now I have to try and find shoes to wear to work this week!!
Hi Joan - I have been so jealous seeing all of your lovely summer posts the last few months so I'm glad our summer is finally on its way!
