Lunch Date

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone today. 
I'm going on a blind date. 
He's a friend of a friend and we're having lunch in Notting Hill. I'm a bit nervous so I thought I'd distract myself and do a little outfit post. 
Plus this way you can tell me what you think! 




I'm wearing a friend's sold out sequin biker jacket, but you can find one on eBay here or Topshop have a cool version here.
Simple white tee, Nobody jeans, Chanel bag and my new bad-girl Zara slippers.
Sunglasses are from a shop in Chelsea but you can get really cheap ones on eBay UK & eBay US.



Wish me luck!


Update

So… the date was a bit of a flop.
He turned up late and sort of laughed it off without apologising.
He's very, very good looking in that sort of chiselled Disney prince with floppy hair sort of way but honestly I've had better conversations with Custard.
He started by ordering himself a steak and telling the waiter I wanted a salad (you know me by now, I grabbed the waiter and asked for a burger and a large glass of wine) before launching into a diatribe about women in the work place and how any wife of his would discuss baking, not business.
He hates the internet (doesn't see the point) and only uses his Blackberry for phone calls and emails, none of that "phonestagram rubbish". I resisted the urge to snap my burger and sat there with a fairly bemused smile on my face listening to his chatter.
He must have mistaken my amusement for attraction as he lunged for a snog as we said goodbye and asked if I fancied dinner later.
I politely declined, said goodbye, turned the corner and burst out laughing!
Surely there's a nerdy internet/food/sun loving dreamboat out there for me somewhere?

    Rose you look great and I absolutely adore your blog!

    Is there any way you could make an archive so that it's easier to see past blog posts? I know you've got categories at the top (recipes, fashion, travel etc.) but it's quite difficult to look at all the posts in each category because of all the pics (which I love!). Maybe an archive of links would be a bit more user friendly? It would also be fab if your blog posts included the date they were written! Anyway, just some suggestions. Your blog is wonderful as is!

  96. Well, we know he is going to like you; the question is, are you going to like him? (Ok, now I'm thinking if i said that rigtht. You probably know what I mean). I met my current boyfriend through a friend's friend and we've been dating for two years now. I had never tried "blind date" (although it was most like a meeting with friends, I would be too shy to the proper blind date!), but the point is that sometimes your friends know what you like and how are their friends, so you never know! Have fun! xx

    Hi Rose,

    I was wondering if I could ask some advice from you.
    I am 16 and there is this boy that I quite like (we have been texting for a month now) and I would quite like to see him but I don't want to ask...how do I hint that I want him to ask me??
    I love the outfit and also have those shoes!! Good luck, I'm sure he'll love you!

    Replies
    1. Hey Anon,
      To be honest I'd just be bold and say " So, when are you going to ask me out? ;) "
      He's probably too nervous too and by pointing out the elephant in the room you can just laugh about it and get on with liking each other!
      And if he doesn't see you that way, at least you find out now and you don't have to waste time wondering!
      (I'm sure he secretly loves you though, boys are too lazy to text for no reason!)

    “Surely there's a nerdy internet/food/sun loving dreamboat out there for me somewhere?”

    Oh Rosie, let me count the ways I adore ye… I've been told that I tick those boxes, and if it wasn't so weird to ask someone out via a *comments section* then I would! But, alas...

    HA! Just lolled in my office. What a knobber. Shame he doesn't like the internet so he could read this little summary! Baking and not business indeed! Good luck with the search, Rosie. Unfortunately I feel if someone like you can't find anyone we are all bloody DOOMED. I'm still holding out for the day I meet the ZEfron. xxxxxxx

    Surely,I mean SURELY, you've created that character as a literary construct to further your own comedic ends. NO ONE LIKE THAT EXISTS! You've just ripped every cliche / stereotype from every 1980's film - you can be honest. I won't tell, if you don't.

      What a silly accusation. You really don't believe that douchebags of that ilk exist in reality?

      I went on a first date with a man who turned out to be 20 years my senior. He insisted on ordering all three sushi rolls for us to SPLIT (um, I can devour three on my own, thanks so much - and I prefer to order my OWN food). And then he promptly told me how he divorced his last wife because she was a horrible "corporate wife."

  148. I went on my first (and last) blind date recently. I'm pretty sure the guy had never been on a date full stop, let alone a blind one. He did an excellent job of making himself sound unappealing/directionless and the we departed with an awkward wave. No polite hug/kiss and exchange of numbers. I was more than surprised to get an essay of a message asking me on date 2 given that I thought our disinterest was mutual and I didn't give him my number. Turns out he lied to the person who set it up and said he'd 'lost' my number. Humph! Your guy sounds even worse though xx

    Ohhh what an archetypal douche! Sounds hilarious - I'm glad that you at least had a laugh.

  158. I very much like the comment calling him a poo head. Made me LOL.

    Rose you are a much bigger person that me, I can tell you that. I would have argued every point. A woman belongs in the kitchen... Humph!! And why on earth does he have a blackberry if all he does is call and email?? Oi vey.

    Good for you for handling it so well. And for ordering the burger. I hope it was delicious enough to make up for the time wasted sitting with this guy.
