Nice Things. And Monty.

 I love having friends round for dinner

For the 1st time ever, the baby was still up when guests arrived. This is him with my friend M watching his favourite show Miniscule. I love it too.

 This is my friend J in a new Red Phoenix necklace that old Lotus created at my request. 

I luff those colours and the pearls match my earrings. Perfect.

 Everyone thinks I never wear neutrals but I sometimes do.

 I liked Mary's retro 70s look at the recent Dutch Coronation

 And I loved Maxima's blue get up. That cloak was a bit Gwyneth at the Oscars. Luffed it.

 And look at all this High End Matching:

 Beatrix's Standard Issue Queen Hair is hidden under a big hat but you can tell it's in there.
Isn't she marvellous?

Cute outfits the next day too:

 Meanwhile, you know how I love bees and bee motifs 11/10? Well check out the new McQueen stuff at Jean Brown- it is literally covered in bees!

That honey comb pattern's excellent.

Lot's of debate about whether I do more or less than other people in the comments section lately.

I don't know.

I think I do more than some people and less than others. If I had a dishwasher and didn't have to rely on public transport to haul myself to the Coalface and back, I like to think I'd be Unstoppable.

Did anyone watch that doco about Rommel and Monty on the ABC the other night? Talk about fascinating. Turns out old Monty was a fitness fanatic. Who knew?
 He famously said "If we can't stay here alive, we'll stay here dead".
Something in that for all of us really.

Speaking of war, Don't forget to watch Free Men- I'm still thinking about it. Seriously, it is the best movie I've seen in ages.

Keep your packing advice coming- I love reading all your insights.
Happy Saturday.
