Purple Shoes...

Wow...it has been a while!
I thought I would have a proper wardrobe organise the other week and of course that included my not-to-big but not-that-small collection of heels. It always get me wondering why I buy heels because I really never wear them...They just sit there looking pretty whilst I reach for the ' go with everything' flats. I personally do subscribe to the general consensus that heels really finish an outfit off (by that I mean a going out outfit mainly) but whenever I put a pair on, I feel really really different. What I mean by that is even though the actual appearance of the heels is nothing different, the way they make you walk and stand and just generally feel can really make you feel as if you are standing out in the crowd...that is why I reserve them purely for certain kinds of nights out.

Now, however, I have decided that a renewal of my relationship with my heels is in order...starting with the purple pair that I haven't touched for a good couple of years or so...

BleachBlack X UO


pics from uo.com

These are the first offerings from BleachBlack (of the blog of the same name)...I think they're pretty good looking! They're on the American website so I don't know if we can get them here...?

Mirror Mirror On The Wall And Such...

Ok ok I know I've been a terrible blogger of late. I do apologise...Unfortunately I do not have space in my mind for thinking about fashion, let alone writing about said thoughts! I'm pretty sure that once my critical theory essay is out of the way next week normality will resume:)
Bad news!! We had another of our epic house parties the other week and unfortunately my camera got picked up by some light- fingered individual so I am without any vehicle to take outfits pictures...or pictures of anything else for that matter...which is gutting because I keep seeing/ wearing things that I would love to post about. I will sort it soon:)
So anyway, I've noticed so many references to fairytale fashion at the moment which I personally love. I love the detail and the draping and the rich colours of this trend and the photography that comes with it is just lovely...Oh look at me gushing. I particularly like the Charles Anastase take on a modern day Red Riding Hood

On my hunt for some pretty fairytale pictures I found some lovely ones but these were my favourite:)
