Shoes..a girl's best friend



I don't buy shoes very often but when I do I seem to end up buiying multiple pairs

Alongside these four above I've bought a black pair of pumps, some black supergra trainers, dark brown buckle brogue things and some cream pumps

I've been bad! But My shoe wardrobe needed an update!

The tan and gold glitter ankle boots were an absolute bargain in the New Look sale, reduced to just £10 and they only had my size so it was a sign they must be mine!

Truly tacky but I love things like that...always the best in my opinon!

When Liberty did the collaboration with Nike (last year I think)n I was a broke student and there was no way I could justify spending £70+ on a pair of trainers...however their current collab with Vans is much more up my street!

I've been a lover of Vans for over 10 years and have owned many pairs in that period

My tastes have evolved and these Liberty print beauties were perfect for me, at £50 they were by no means cheap but I've been wearing at least three times a week so they were definitely worth it!

When it comes to winter I live in brogues and wear them until they practically fall apart

This being the case I don't have any smart pairs in my wardrobe so when I saw these interesting cut out pretties in my local Primark for just £12 I had to get them!

They are so comfy and different to anything else I own I love them, contemplating picking them up in black too.

Nike blazers have been everywhere for so long now

When I saw these in the Sarenza sale they looked more of a pastel mint green and reduced to £40ish I thought I'd give them go

The colour, as you can see, is definitely not the pastel mint I thought they would be but nice nonetheless

I will say one thing though these are a bitch to put on!

I only wear them when I know I won't be taking my shoes off for a good while or not having to take them off and put them on again multiple times

Have you bought any pretty shoes recently?

Love

FOTD and an Easter haul

I've spent the last four days giving my skin a break and going make up free 

Whilst indulging in a face mask and sorting out my roots

Today I wanted to make myself feel like a woman again and slapped on a full face

I used my current favourite foundation the Estee Lauder Double Wear, it gives me the perfect amount of coverage especially with my terrible skin at the moment

I also used the Ben Nye Banana Powder for the first time and so far I'm really loving it

Hopefully it stays put all day

My Chanel palette made a reappearance too, something which doesn't happen often enough

I'll definitely be using this a lot more I love it on my eyes, the perfect day time look

As well on my eyes I've been liking using the Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude pencil to open up my eyes a little 

And also the new Rimmel Lash Acclerator mascara, I'm road testing this at the moment 

Not sure on my thoughts yet, it doesn't seem as amazing as some other high street mascaras out there 

I had a half day last Thursday and I indulged in a bit of retail therapy

There are a few bits missing here but I'm sure they will appear in a post soon enough

The Vans trainers are a neon coral colour and aren't the usual canvas material they're more shiny I guess...well kind of waterproof, it's hard to explain but I love them!

Can't wait to wear them in New York

I bought another pair of coral shoes from Primark which I intend to just wear on the cruise and probably leave on the ship as they were quite cheap a £4

I also indulged in rather a lot of new make up goodies 

They will be appearing on the blog soon, I've been loving them so far though

The floral dress is just gorgeous! 

I got it for my cousins wedding in August, need to tone up a bit first though

The Hello Kitty slippers haven't left my feet since I bought them

They are super comfy and keep my feet just warm enough

Have you bought any pretty things recently?

Love

Lust List

1. Urban Ears Headphones in 'Grape' £50

2. Lush Sea Salt Hair Spray £9.95/100ml

3. Topshop Khaki Embellished Playsuit £45

4. MAC Eyebrow Pencil in 'Fling' £12.50

5. Love Dusky mesh pleated skirt dress £45

6. (missing the number) Schuh Bob Studded Ankle Boots £80

All of the above items are things I've been lusting after recently...and trying to justify buying.

As I'm off to New York in May next year I keep buying the odd thing and thinking to myself 'Oh that would be brilliant in New York', this doesn't work so well on the boyfriend though!

A few such purchases have been a lovely burgundy pair of Vans trainers, of course these were necessary for all the walking, to be done in style of course. I also asked for a Cath Kidston Saddle bag for my Birthday which my Dad kindly bought me, again I figured it was perfect for New York.

Out of this list of course I can only justify half of the items....those headphones have been calling to me since I saw them on Zara from Mouldyfruits blog (apologies I don't know how to link!) I love the grapey purple colour and think these would be great for in the gym too. 

The playsuit and dress are gorgeous! The dress is just so girly and very me, I have fallen in love...after four days in New York we're going on a cruise so this little beauty would be great for the smarter evenings and the cute little playsuit would be perfect for the more casual evenings.

As for the rest of my list...the sea spray is something I've been interested in since seeing the Bumble and Bumble version but I'm pretty sure this is cheaper. Once my hair grows out a bit I'd love to be able to get the beach waves look.

I'm still on a mission to try all sorts of different eyebrow products, so far still loving Benefit Browzings, so being an avid lover of MAC I really want to try this out too. 

And the boots...well they are AMAZING! I need them in my life...

Anything you guys are lusting after?

Take Care
