Packing w/ a Lost Suitcase

So, how does one lose a suitcase?

I have no idea, they are hardly the most missable of items to store!

Which is why Im so baffled- my favourite backpack/suitcase (it's a suitcase w/ wheels, shaped like a backpack, that turns into a wearable backpack when you unzip the straps on the back- perfect solution for all travel scenarios) has vanished! There is maybe 10 places in the house where it could have been stored when i came back from overseas last year, however all of them have come up luggage-less. So confusing. I have double, triple, quadrouple checked. Nada.

Aside from this Ive only got access to mum's bags, which arnt really suitable (too big/small/heavy) so we probably need to run into town in the morning to pick something new up- quelle hassle!

I think i also need to fit in another trip to the hairdresser. I am being terribly pedantic, but I think my proxy hairdresser, Kristy, did a v average job. Im just not sure if it's my imagination, or if it looks like I am almost due for the hairdresser. This is a full head a week after.
I know i know, it's not THAT bad, but Im just thinking about being without proper hair styling facilities, it's going to be a shocker in a couple of weeks time!

Packing wise, things are under control. Im hoping I have covered all the toiletry bases..
On the way to Dubai I am going to read these mags + alex james book/ louis theroux book (in between all the sleeping, haha)
I plan to buy more magazines at the airport. Im realising magazines are becoming more and more a waste of money. I felt near pain trying to get through this month's Harpers, in fact i don't think i finished it, let alone gave it a second flick through!

Shoes. Almost thinking about taking Marc jacobs jellies/ runners. Looking a bit sparse?!
One thing i did decide was that i well and truly ruined my yellow leather/beige canvas Mimco bag with chain handles last year travelling. It's not worth putting the Marc Jacobs in harm's way, I pulled this one out of the cupboard- i am being so sensible! Old peachy Mimco, w/ a long mimco strap off another tan bag. Geez i be over Mimco, but this will suit my travels nicely.
ok. I went to bed at 3am last night, and it's 1:08AM now. I think i need to sleep, Deep deep long white space........

haha, thankyouuu! Where are you going!? :S YAY! I was so happy to leave work today - see ya suckers!

To quote my nana "Are u having your hair done before you go?"

"well... yes, it IS done!?"

I went back and i think she's almost humoured me- i am SUPER DUPER blonde. I am seeing someone different cause my normal hairdresser is taking a break. Im not digging her- the toner doesn't seem to work, and i feel brassy + yellowy in spots!!
