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.

Mini London Beauty Haul

Oh how I've missed blogging, its been what... 5 days? It feels like I've been away for 5 years! If you haven't already figured out from the title, I took a little trip to london and missed college, how rebellious. The soul purpose being to see the magnificent Taylor Swift in concert at the O2. It was amazing, spectacular, life changing... okay maybe not the last one, but I'm a huge fan so I guess you could say it was. 

Fan girling out of the way. I did manage to pick up a few beauty bits whilst on my travels; though not exactly a mountain of goodies, I thought it was worth a quick post to provide me with an opportunity to explain my absence. 

Sleek Arrival at Boots!

I may be a tad late on the bandwagon but I was doing a little browsing on Boots (as per usual) and spotted Sleek on the 'New' tab! At this point, I certainly did little happy dance while sat on the sofa and received a few odd stares from Le Parents.

 It seems the prices are the same in both Boots and Superdrug and they are stocking everything Sleek has to offer. Now the only problem is, I have yet to see it in stores, so I'm hoping that shelves will be getting stocked up sometime soon as my nearest Superdug doesn't actually offer Sleek. I am definitely excited to be trying out more of the range as it will hopefully be more easily accessible!

Do comment below if you have spotted Sleek in your local Boots! 

Lets Talk Nail Care

Nail polish has to be the very first beauty product I fell in love with, essentially introducing me to the world that is beauty. Now, I have slight confession to make... I used to bite my nails. Yep, ever heard of a nail addict that used to vigorously tear at her poor nails ... that was me. This was until I discovered nail art and all the wondrous colours that could adorn my fingers. Since then, I would say I keep my nails in quite a healthy condition and will always, and I mean always have polish on. 

The Sunday Edit #4

I wouldn't really class my self as much of a movie fanatic and to be honest, tend to stick to the Romantic comedy genres. However, because my dad is the biggest movie geek out there, I usually get dragged out to see all the latest blockbusters. Suffice to say, I'm now quite the Marvels fan! My dad has had Gravity in IMAX booked for about a month so he was bouncing off the walls when this saturday finally came around. Of course, I rarely appreciate all the graphics and special effects that go into creating movies, but my dad filled me in and told me that everything apart from their faces were computer animated. To sum it all up, I was really impressed with the whole thing and really recommend the watch! 

 I finally got my hands on a winter coat this weekend. I really just needed a piece that I could throw on over anything without having to worry about a clashing issue. Ideally, I also wanted it to be a tad more figure hugging and not make me look like a walking talking marshmallow, though that would be quite amusing. So that came down to a simple black trench with leather panelling which makes it slightly more interesting and gives it an edge. I'm happy to say it was a real bargain at £50 in the sale, which I'm amazed at! Surprisingly, this is in fact a size 10, and with me being a size 6-8 you'd think it would drown me but it actually fits quite well! In the image above, I actually have a pajamas top on so excuse the peep of pink. 

Lastly, in the midst of writing this post, my mother decided to take me on a Boots run... it was inevitable that I would pick up a few beauty bits so I may do a mini haul or if not, reviews will be popping up some time soon. 

Hope you've all had a nice week! 

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.

Mini Boots Haul

Recently, I have been trying to pull myself away from boots because that store is like a bloody drug to me! 

Today, i caved. I failed. But I did get some good deals so Im going to say it makes up for it..kind of.
