GO.  At midnight tonight.  To either a) bag a steal in the Zara sale or b) have a shit fit as the site crashes again and again and you're beyond tired.  The latter of course may just be me.  Can't recall the Zara sale at Christmas so no idea how robust their IT network is. (is that what

....is something that's full price.  Duh. But I have to say, it's such an utter bargain that I don't think it's such a dunderhead thing to do.  Especially as I've already worn it.  And (now this does make sense in my head - written down, hmmmm, not so sure, but here goes) it will be fantastic with the

Especially one where there are copious amounts of alcohol and a great bunch of gals - pretty much my idea of heaven (and as there were Kettle Chips, I'd say it could almost be deemed perfect)  Ok so perhaps I exaggerate but last Thursday I had a clothes party at my house, hosted by the lovely Caroline, who

Well, one that I can afford anyway.  Since looking for the Italy Outfit (as it shall from here on be called) became duller than a dull thing and was clearly taking over my internet surfing life, I had (hell knows how) neglected to remember that I had a black tie 40th.  Next weekend.  Now to be fair, the
