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

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:)

Just So You Know...

I blogged about Bjorg jewellery a couple of months or so ago and even though I would have killed to get my hands on the great items, I had no idea where to get them...
So seeing as I received an email recently letting me know that I could get hold of the collection I thought I would share the joy and tell you that The Heart Gallery now stocks it...

Happy Shopping!

Full Marks For Inappropriateness...

I'm back for good now...no more galavanting about the world for me, just uni...which I am FINE with. I'm getting a bit behind with bits and pieces, including this blog!

So anyway, I had a lovely weekend with la family down in Dorset...the weather was pretty good and we stayed in the loveliest cottage ever with amazing views of the coast. I really couldn't have asked for a nicer place:)

I always feel rather messy when I go there in the way of clothes...we walk a lot so my day attire is usually jeans and a shirt with some vague attempt at accessorising with a bangle or demure earrings. Trundling about the countryside in fully styled garments would definitely raise a few bovine eyebrows, let alone the locals...

For evening however, I still get it wrong as I really need to make an effort for the night which would be fine here or at home, but in the depths of the Dorset countryside or in the coastal- town pubs of Swanage, one feels more than a little out of place. Even if one has considered herself to have dressed down...added to that is the fact that you look ridiculous trying to grapple with a half concreted/ half pebbled road in killer heels. It makes for some interesting times. Especially when a little intoxicated. Haha.

Anyway, this is what I wore on one day and one night...

Shirt: Sister's wardrobe Gilet: Mother's wardrobe Jeans: GAP Boots: Uggs Bag: Accessorize

Jacket: Newlook Dress: French Connection Shoes: Matalan (most depressing time of my life when I entered that shop) Necklace: Newlook

I got the most hooker- like shoes from Matalan the other day...hey they were cheap and fun. And they will only get beer spilled on them anyway...

The Land Of Sea And (Not So Much) Sun...

Well I can honestly apologise for my lack of posting anything remotely interesting for a while...things have been hectic to say the least...and to add to that I'm going down to lovely lovely Dorset today for a few days seeing as my Uncle has turned 40 this very morning. I'm sooo looking forward to it as I LOVE Dorset, its the nicest place and it makes you feel unbelievably stress free...
So yeah...I will take some pics of the fairly twee places I will be going and the plethora of boring jeans- orientated outfits I will be wearing and get back to usual blogging mode when I return from my oh-so-quaint travels:)...

See yous all later!...

Taurus...

I'm back!

And I really don't want to be...

But at least I can get back to my blogging duties...

I spent the best part of today (after a long post- flight nap) catching up on what new items my favourite online shops had landed and my favourite by far was this T shirt from Wildfox...I don't know whether it is because of my fondness for slouchy things on holiday spilling over into my home life or the fact that things with my zodiac sign on always feel unique to me ( and the millions of others who share my sign haha...) or the fact that I'm liking to tie things at the side for a bit of a grungy look at the moment ( which this top would be perfect for) but whatever the reason, I'm loving this...And it isn't tooo expensive at $67 and considering I managed to do my whole holiday on about £50 I think I deserve a reward...

ps. My camera started working just before my flight...and broke again when I got home. Someone loves me up there...
