Don't mind me. I'm just squeeing quietly over here in a corner.

I'm not sure what sort of impression you have of my dear other half. I guess what usually comes across is that he doesn't like fandom (this is actually a sort of backhanded compliment. He thinks I'm talented and shouldn't waste my time on something that's not original). Anyway, apart from that he's a very lovely person (as LM can now verify) and amongst his many talents is his exceedingly good taste when it comes to clothes. I don't mean that he's immaculately dressed, but that he loves buying me stuff (when we can afford it) and that it's always gorgeous. So when a parcel arrived yesterday I was very pleasantly surprised! Catalogues are not usually a particular nice way of shopping, but for a good few years now we've been getting La Redoute, a catalogue full of French fashion. It's got cheap stuff as well as designer wear and I usually find many, many pieces that I really wish I could afford, as well as lovely cheaper stuff that I *can* afford - I think most of my summer wardrobe has come from there.

Anyway (are you asleep yet?) yesterday I got a parcel from them. Darcy got quite excited and proceeded to dress me up (making me close my eyes). When I was finally allowed to open them, I was wearing this. Apparently it was on sale and we had some credit built up, so he wanted to spoil me. ::passes out from teh pretty::

So that's why I'm feeling all bouncy at the moment (and the mood-icon is one of my favourites!). Of course it's not what you'd call practical (a common occurrence with Darcy's presents), but squee! So gorgeous! :)

Btw, I've got two 'Introduce a friend' voucher thingys if anyone's interested. You'll get £25 off your first order (of £50 or more - there always has to be conditions on these things of course).

Hee! This made me laugh so much, because even before clicking on the link I knew *exactly* which dress it was going to lead me too. :) About half my wardrobe comes from La Redoute, too, and I ordered that dress as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately something went wrong with my online order first time round, and by the time I got round to re-placing the order I'd convinced myself it wouldn't suit me. But I'm so glad you have it! I feel like the dress I fell in love with has found a good home. :)

What a wonderful co-incidence! And how wonderful that we have linked minds clothes-wise! :) Although I'm sure it would suit you. Anyway, I'll make sure to post a picture when I have one.

Did you see my post from yesterday? The lovely lillianmorgan came to visit me over the weekend and I got to indulge my obsession wonderfully and spend time getting to know her even better. And she enjoyed my mug muchly. :)

(Your icon is beautiful btw!)

I did indeed read all about your lovely time with lillianmorgan. Squee! I'm so glad you both got to meet and had such a fun time together. And hee...I have a whole heap of your posts saved to reply to, when things have calmed down a little bit here...which will hopefully be very soon!

I still can't believe how lucky I've been to meet all the lovely people here on LJ - and it's all thanks to you, you know! :) If you ever have the time (and the money of course, trains being *expensive*) you must come and visit too!

And honestly don't worry about replying to old posts... I'm sure there are many better ways to spend your time! Although it's good to hear that things are going to calm down soon! ::sends hugs and smooches::
