More Random Stuff I Wear...

Fiiinally I am getting out of my lazy trench and blogging some more...perhaps that is due to the threat of work if I don't do this. Ah the lesser of two evils. Anyhoo, despite it hanging on my wardrobe like a vague feeling of the Summer to come, I have only just this afternoon taken a picture of what my aforementioned maxi dress looks like so that I can put it on here. I tried on some rather high heels with this dress and it still touches the floor...and with its drapey demeanour and considering I was about 6 ft tall in the heels I really did feel like some sort of Grecian Amazonian hybrid. Good things come in big packages right? Of course;)








Aside from this dress I've been getting a bit happy with the ol' plastic and ordered a few things off ebay and asos and my wetlook (although how shiney polyester is quite wetlook I do not know) ruched leggings arrived this morning...voila:




Sorry about the crappy photo...
I've got a Cheryl Coleesque cardigan on order as well and I really did not realise that that along with these leggings is nearly the exact look she very perfectly pulled off. HAHA I can't see it working so well for myself, not even if I was her teeny tiny size. Oh look at me and my self- pity...cry me a fecking river.

My Next Acquisition...

I actually felt excitement at the news of the new Barbara Hulanicki collection for Topshop...I really love the story of Biba and the clothes were so cool. I wish I had been around when Biba was as I reckon it would have been an amazing place to go. Someone should make a new one...although I doubt it would ever be as good. I diverge...I bought this top from the collection. The print really appeals to me, although I think I would have preferred it in another colour. Ha look at me sounding as if someone forced me to buy it. I really wanted to buy the girl print summer dress but I've just bought the orange maxi dress from Aqua Couture so I restrained myself...

Anyway, I think I'll put it with my pale denim skirt, my pumps and lots of bangles. That's if the sun comes out again any time soon, which I very much doubt, it being Leeds and all.

Rant...

Just a quick word about the Topshop sale....Rubbish. I'm very sorry to say it but Topshop have not really gone all out with this one. I was rather disappointed to be perfectly honest as nothing I had seen pre- sale that I wanted was in the sale. The disappointment of that fateful trip to Topshop can be my excuse for going to Harvey Nics and getting sushi:)

My New Frock...

This is my rather nice new dress from Aqua Couture...except its by Gestuz:) I really love the colour although its not such a nice colour now I've worn it out. Its a bit stainy. Im not sure I can pass it off for tie- dye.
Aqua Couture is by far the best shop by far for edgy designs in simple fabrics but in really bright summery colours. I believe I will be spending a lot more of my time in there. Like today for example...they have a very long orange sheer jersey maxi dress that I tried on and unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to not buy it. Damn, what will I do with a lovely new dress?? Such bad times...I think I'm going to have to wait until it gets a bit sunnier in grey ol' Leeds to buy it though. Bright orange maxi dresses and umbrellas don't really go now do they.

Mine Now...

To follow on from my little rant, these are the shoes that I finally found in my size that weren't lime green snakeskin or another such atrocity...I figured that they will go with most of my wardrobe and, as much as I wanted to wait for the nicer ones to be restocked, I am in terrible need of some pumps now. My one and only pair that I can still wear have huge holes in the bottom. Oh dear indeed. So there we have it...my first pair of French Sole shoes:)

2 Days, 12 Hours, 38 Minutes...

Is the time left until the next Outnet.com flash sale. I must say I am intrigued as to how this will work out as I am not very quick on la laptop, and considering that, to my utter frustration, nearly everything good is sold out on the site, I'm pretty sure there are some determined ladies out there just waiting to steal lovely items from right under my nose...

But I would like a quick rant here if I may...WHY oh why do websites keep stock displayed when they do not have it?! Not only Outnet.com oh no. To my utter dismay the beautiful French Sole shoes that I posted about were sold out in my size:( As were nearly every other style I went to buy. In the end I had to settle for some also nice (but not as nice) pumps. I will conclude with this: when I cannot spend my money on beautiful shoes I am not a happy bunny I tell you.
