Emergency Shoe Purchases



I wouldn't personally count myself a shoe hoarder as such... in fact, if I get my hands on a versatile pair that will last me most days, then I'd rather spare the extra 5 minutes attempting to match 10 different options to an outfit. Unfortunately, I had a sole disaster whilst roaming the grounds of topshop and my beloved ankle boots had finally popped it's poor sole clogs. It was simply unacceptable to walk out knowing that my shoes were a wreck, and so my only option was to quickly pick out a pair and slip them on once exiting the pay point. Of course, I was pretty lucky that my shoes chose topshop to say its final goodbyes as the new offerings were already luring me in.

I'm 5'2 so as you can imagine, my first port of call was a stable heel that could be worn fairly casually. I figured the black boots above were quite trainer-esque with the lace ups making it casual, whilst providing me with a tad more height. Since the sun is yet to become a constant element, a warmer foot option is indeed still needed.

Finally, everyone needs a trusty pair of flats. With spring coming into play in the next month or two, I wanted to feel somewhat prepared for the odd sunnier day. The nude/pink tone suits just about any ensemble and adds a light freshness.

Boxing Day Beauty Picks



So its been... a while. I know there's no room for excuses but I've been beyond busy this holiday with family, so much so, I haven't even gotten round to doing an ounce of college work. There goes my fabulous mock results. 

Anyways, I wanted to quickly share the few beauty bits I picked up while doing my rounds on Boxing day. It's certainly not a lot, but my focus this year was to mainly update what was hanging in my wardrobe and so when it came round to beauty, my budget was pretty much blown. 
I did however find the No7 liners in boots hidden on the corner of the shelves, and it just so happened to the very last one. I couldn't really refuse and figured it was just plain fate. Swatching them, they seem to have a soft, creamy formula, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. 

Lastly, while queuing at the tills in Topshop, I found these gems at a wondrous price of £3 a piece. I've already tested these beauties out and they're amazing; quick to apply and will not budge!

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas but since its already New Years Eve, I wish you all a happy New year!

AUTUMN PICKS: Nails



Hey there lovely people, Hope you're all having a nice week :) Anyways, I thought I would just quickly share a few of my favourite fall polishes. As stated in my 'Autumn Post'  I do lean towards both opposite ends of the spectrum, either a sophisticated nude or a more vamped burgundy.

OOTD #1


So this is actually my first outfit of the day post.... hence the #1 in the title... but this was too gorgeous an ensemble to pass up! I have been in love with kimonos and this one happens to be my latest purchase from River Island for £30 and because it is quite sheer, can be easily paired over numerous outfits. Underneath is a simple chiffon tank from topshop in a bright neon orange. White jeans are a staple in my wardrobe and I could wear them everyday, These are from Zara and are some of the comfiest pair of jeans I own! 
Lastly, there's the Boots. These are also a recent purchase from River island and are a staple in my fall and winter wardrobe. Being 5'2 I need the height so these chunky heels make me at least average whilst still remaining comfortable.
