FUCK YEAH DOCS

They are beeeautiful and very comfortable and a bit too tight where the tongue is stitched in, but the polypierced guy in the store assured me that they would stretch; I believe him, too, I had to throw out my black Dr Martens Mary Janes because they stretched out too much.

Tomorrow morning I am off to raid the Selfridges beauty counters. If anyone has any particular products or shades that they recommend from NARS or Illamasqua or MAC or anything along those lines, speak now! As far as colouring goes, you know me: pinky pale, blue eyes. Not-quite-blonde hair.

In the name of Being Prepared and not missing out on something delicious due to inadequate forethought, I also looked up what sorts of foodery the Selfridges food court has, and apparently the Thing To Try is something called a salt beef sandwich. This is not a thing that Australia has. BUT IT LOOKS GOOD. A cure for iron deficiency with a smear of mustard and a token amount of bread, om nom nom.
