 Shirt/Dress: Acne via My-Wardrobe, Shorts: via Rare, Shoes: Acne)

The weather's been pretty crappy this past few days, ya? Anyway I took these snaps real quick before I headed out on Saturday night for a date dinner (with the promise of drinks and dancing lol).

Hope you're all having a great week. I'm currently looking for a new job and re-assessing my life. I suppose this is what happens when you start getting old eh?

Today

(Jacket: Vintage, Shirt/Dress: Cos, Faux leather pants: Primark, Heels: Zara, Scarf: Sisters)

This is my second pair of 'leather' pants. I never invest a lot of money into seasonal faddy clothes, and as Topshop refuses to stop passing of £40 leather leggings as trousers, I'll stick to Primark. Although, these did come with crystal-ey crap glued to their buttons (which I'll be removing pronto, once I find some pliers).

Fyi, I might have been slightly over-enthused when I said I'd be posting outfits daily. It's actually pretty time consuming... and my neighbours keep freaking me out! So I'll change that to 'more than I was before'.

Loads of meetings today ...and I'm going on a (second) date tonight, with a graffiti artist. I know... I'm so 12!

Tell your Brothes, Sons & Fathers...

'Come round, I have something to show you...'*


Is not the way to woo ANYONE on Valentines day.

I spent yesterday alone**.

And I liked it.

*insert imagination for I will not disclose the rest of the 'lovely' BBM message I received (for the sake of young children... and Christians).
** by alone I meant: cooked dinner for my best friend and spent most of the night dancing to Beyonce's 'Single ladies'. Really.

Princess... Has no tact

^^ Always wanted to try out an 'in motion' shot... how cool am I?

Fur, flats & leather (no make-up and unruly hair) ... not the most inspiring of outfits, but definitely called for on a chilly trip to Portobello market.

I spent the morning catching up with my Har-Mar Superstar lookalike and belt stall friend Illyas. As Illyas told me not to look at one of his belts because it was 'cheap' I wondered if he had finished Business school. I shouted 'Police' when a crazy sauce tried to steal costume jewellery from Helen the ring seller (I mean if it was real gold I would understand).

I ran into a (non recognisably hot) ex. Right.

Conversation went:

Him: Hi, are you Jackie?

Me: Yes (as in yes, thank you)

Him: Don't you recognise me...?

Me: No

Him: It's me, Ian * looks puzzled

Me: Oh, of course, how are you, you look great?

Him: Fine. Yes fine thanks. Ok, bye.


As he sped of sheepishly, I slapped myself for:

1. Not being more tactful.

2. Not being more tactful and getting his number.

3. Being cursed. Because in the grand scope of the universe, why must I be the only human being that runs into an ex who looks better than he did before?


Sucks.

Princess is... Giving you the lowdown

On her date...

The outfit:

The credentials

Name: Matthew

Age: 31

Job: Architect

The date

Dinner at Cocoon/Drinks at Dean Street Townhouse

Matthew seemed sweet enough, normal even, when I met him in Starbucks in Westbourne Grove (yes Starbucks). He seemed sweet enough when he paid for my caramel hot chocolate (result!). He seemed sweet enough when he held the door open for me on my way out. He even seemed sweet enough when I refused to take 'his card' when he invited me for dinner, because I don't go to dinner with random men I meet in cafes (but it seems I take their money in cafes). In the end he won me over because he looked like the Burberry model with 'the lips'- just saying.


1. Matthew clicked his fingers for service at the restaurant - 10 points

2. Held open doors + 10 points

3. Wore a jumper that was on the wrong side of tight - 10 points

4. Had a townhouse (which he would later invite me back to... no I didn't go) in Notting Hill + 10 points

5. Broke up with his girlfriend 3 weeks earlier - 50 points

6. Helped me put my coat on and 'accidently' copped a feel of my boobs - 10 points

7. Had a money clip (just saying) +10 points

8. Got drunk - 50 points

9. Felt (a little too high) up my leg, after moving from his side of the table to mine -10 points

10. Smelt good + 50 points

11. Looked at himself in the restuarant mirror... a lot - 50 points

12. Decided to call me Joaquim ( not Jacqueline) in his state of drunkenness - 10 points

13. Made bedroom eyes at me when leaving our taxi and asked if I would like to come in for a coffee.  (Does it even need points?)

As if I was born yesterday!

Although, if this had happened last year, I'd probably be telling a different story (just saying).

There are no (more) words.

Oh yeah.

This is my life.
