11.do you get your nails done?
Sorry to say, I don't. They are healthy and flexible so cannot take polish of any kind. Sometimes I buff to a high shine - perfect substitute for flaky varnish.

12. Small or large purse?
Depends on the outing. Usually a medium, but I have an awesome big Calvin Klein bag in tobacco leather, perfect for overnighting, that seems to swallow things whole, and yet nothing gets lost. I regularly waste time rummaging in much smaller bags!

In the UK, it is the only way. People text so much, you have to make an appointment for a phone call, and for the first time in my life I feel guilty for calling someone out of the blue!

Walking in London requires flats. I have a good selection of comfortable driving moccassins. I have worn heels out on a normal day and ended up stepping home like a cat in a puddle.

Yes, I have awful lips but Ted Baker lipgloss is the one that is best absorbed and lasts for hours, even half a day. I also like the menthol tingle it gives on first application.

Preppy? blech! It's like the fashion statement that time forgot. All sweaters, khakis, brogues and Network News hair. It's my idea of Hell lol!
Back to my usual self I see :p
I was hoping to see you blogging today! I been bored, think of your adoring public! How is the new place now? does it feel less like a chore now you've had a little time to settle in and find your feet?
Letters are great, on and off correspond that way with a friend of mine from university, so much better than any otehr form of comms, you should write someone - just pick a random it's so nice to get a letter in return, it's really a bizarre pickmeup!
As always, my grammar is excellent
An interesting post, Olivia. So sorry you've had no proper summer!
This looks like a fun one to do. I like shopping too. I think I'm a little over the top with it sometimes!
ah, what fun! I too have been needing a distraction from all the stuff/yuck of life.
***
an aside, I'm so glad I'm liv. otherwise I'd have to be the "other" Olivia... :)
I'm with you on the uncomfortable clothing - can't stand it! And if something I put on at the beginning of the day is comfortable, but gets irritating by the end of the day, then I kinda get crabby. The second I get home, OFF WITH IT'S HEAD! :)
I liked your answers.
Matt - you grump.
Still not keen on the new life, new place, etc.
I still own stationery, so I guess I should use it.
***
Nikki - yes, somewhat envious of you West Coast sun sponges!
***
Beenzzz - sorry, forgot to invite you all to join in!
***
Liv - welcome over here. It is still funny writing my pet name for someone else, though. Sorry you're going through stuff as well.
***
ML - often a telling pile of discards on the side of my bed every day.
Glad you enjoyed :)
WOW, I can now say that I KNOW YOU!
This was GREAT!
Arrrrggghhh...
I'm with Matt.
Pretenders of class, phony wanna-be's,
Resolved to live in labels and high price,
Enigmatic fashion philosophies!
Perhaps a little backhand would be nice...
Put some socks on; pull your head out.
Your bowels stifle up your shout!
Glad to know you better still, m'lady!
(Sweat...are you referring to handball?)
Jahooni - be glad you didn't get the 500 Things blog!

Minstrel - ew, I am not talking about old East Coast money-type preppy. Or as Matt would know it, spineless boarding school type preppy.
And definitely no Network News Hair.
Sometimes Hugh Grant hair is fine, but at the moment I have a penchant for crew cuts :)
Plus, a truly preppy guy would never have a tattoo.
well .. very cute. I kiss on the forehead to show care and respect and well 'I am proud of you' type feeling :) Mascaras are not just fashion, they are actually good for the eye, increases eye sight :)
After an interview, Borders and its siren-like '3 for 2' book offer is a fell voice on the wind.
And cake, too.
Also - 35 too old?
*emits deep sigh and contemplates a monastic existence*
