New Shoes

I've been having a bit of a shoe crisis recently. It seems that almost every pair of shoes I own has decided to give my poor little (well, average sized really) feet blisters!

The only shoes that are still being kind to me are my favourite little ankle boots from New Look. However, because they have faux fur on them I am starting to feel that they are no longer acceptable, it is July after all. (Someone please inform the weather!)

Anyway as part of July|Positive I decided that I would finally get around to sorting out my shoe situation. After careful consideration I have concluded that this means I need to buy: 

1. A pair of pumps/wedges/sandals for sunnier weather.

2. A pair of ankle boots, cowboy-esk.

But, I want them under £20 each. 

I thought that this was going to be quite the challenge. However, on a girls shopping trip with my mum and nanny I came across a pair of sensible wedges. When I first saw them I wasn't totally sold, but once I saw the price tag I knew I just had to work them into my wardrobe!

£13?! What a bargain!

I love wedges. I love that they possess slimming powers, and I love that they are just so comfty!

I think that these shoes will be perfect for strolling around in the British summer, whether teamed with jeans or a floral dress!

Have you picked up any great deals in the sale?

23 Days And Counting

I went into Topshop today and was blown away by how much great stock they have! Seriously, I do like Topshop but sometimes I think their clothes are a bit too ‘fashiony’ BUT everything I saw, I wanted!

Sadly, as I am a student, I am poor, like broke, until April 23^rd when the next instalment of my loan shimmies into my bank account! So until then I would like it very much if you would indulge me in my fantasy shopping…sigh.

This would look well lush teamed with some denim shorts and wedges (durr, obvs!)

Supes cute skirt, a kick back to the 50's(?)

This is such a dreamy, summery top, sweet strap details too

This skirt, to me, is perfect.

I love a good tea dress, I like the interesting sheer detail at the bottom

If you haven't already noticed I'm quite a girly girl and am instantly drawn to sparkly things, like a moth to a flame. Some people would call it tacky but I think a dress like this, worn with the right hair and makeup could be a breath taking statement!

Also, though obviously not Topshop, I saw this great dress in Lipsy!

This dress is lovely, so feminine and romantic, I really like the appliqué flowers and sheer neckline, I think this dress is the perfect cross of sexy and sweet. Plus at £90 I don’t think that it’s extortionate considering it’s Lipsy.  

What do you think of my fantasy selection? Have you been shopping recently? Please let me shop vicariously through you, what did you buy?

Spring Has Sprung!

We are finally out of Winter, YIPPEE!! (Touch wood!)

Yes, all of a sudden the daffodils have popped up and I'm getting super excited about Spring. I love spring, it's such an exciting time of year; there's the hint that Summer's on its way, everything's so cheery and pretty - plus it means that there will be tonnes of wedges in the shops!


I wanted to share with you a few of the things I love about Spring...

Ahhh, Gossip Girl... I'm not sure who else could pull off that outfit aside from Chuck, but somehow I still think he's super hot, even though he looks like a total dwork! As for Blair, I wish this is what I could wear!

This dress is BEAUTIFUL! It's so delicate and the colours create the perfect pallete for Spring if you ask me! 

Also, look at these great colours! I wish I could wear these but my butt is too large to pull it off! But, that does not mean that I cannot enjoy these lush pastel jeans from afar!

For those that don't know this is the Royal Crescent in Bath, my home town! Spring also means going back home to stay with my family in the uni holidays, but sadly this means that I will also be stuck with my head in zzz boring law books revising for summer exams, which will surely lead me to my next Spring piccy...

Yes, cocktails! Especially Cosmos! Mmm, I love sipping a nice cocktail in a street cafe with the evening sun.

Oh my word - will my obsession ever end?? Seriously though, those who check out this blog must think I have a serious problem, I've lusted after some Deborah Lippmann nail paints for so long and I've still not got any. But, look, this is so perfect for Spring, so cute! This is 'Candy Shop' and tomorrow I'm going to town with mumsy so I will march to House of Fraser and see if they have it - I've seen on the website that they do, but I don't want to get my hopes up!

Aww, and finally to my other obsession - WEDGES! How cute are these Ugg wedges?? Gimme gimme gimme!

What gets you excited about Spring? Are there any signs that Summer is on the way where you are?
