Stripy statement shoes

Check out these shoes that I bought in the sale last summer.  I found them in Dune in Covent Garden.  They are difficult to wear though!  I find they work best with a very plain outfit.  I wore them for the first time a couple of weeks ago with skinny pale blue jeans and a white shirt.  

They definitely got noticed, I had quite a few compliments!  These are without a doubt the most eccentric shoes I own.  I have such a weakness for shoes.

Don't they make you think of licorice alsorts?

Today I wore...leg warmers and new shoes

Hello!

Hope you're having a good Wednesday.

Today was a full on day at work for me.  We were a little late for the bus and had to run for it, then we had the first ever run-through of the first act of our new ballet, phew!  Then I managed to pop out for some lunch before it was back to work for more rehearsals.  I managed to snap a couple of pictures on my i-pod though.

Here is a picture of some of my favourite leg warmers which I wore today for the morning class.

I love the pastel colours on them.  Actually I tend to wear a lot of pale/pastel colours for class.

I managed to wear my new shoes for the first time today.  I wore them with brown tights and a patterned dress.

I snapped this whilst I was having lunch.  I love purple and green together!

Now it's time to relax before another full day of work tomorrow!

till next time

Latest shoe haul

Hello!  I hope you are having a good start to your week.  Today I thought I would share with you my latest finds in the footwear department.....

Like most girls I have a bit of a shoe fetish, so imagine my excitement when I came across these gorgeous leather shoes by Guess in TKMaxx.

I had had my eye out for a pair of sexy strappy black heels all summer.  Once I tried them on in the shop I knew they were the perfect ones and at 35 quid I thought they were a bargain.

I love the zip detail at the back.  The zips are real which makes getting the shoes on and off a cinch!

These heels will be special occasion only shoes due to their height!

On medium occasion outings where I might be doing a lot of walking around I prefer to wear something more medium height.  I found these lovely suede style shoes today in a shop here for just 15 euros in the sale.

I thought they were a bit quirky vintage looking.  They were also quite comfy to wear and a great price too! They are by a brand named Pearlz which I've never heard of before.

They also came in red and it took me ages to decide which ones I wanted to take home.  These were my boyfriend's favourite though as green is his favourite colour!  I also thought they would be easier to wear as they aren't as bright.  I did love the red ones though, at that price I'm tempted to go and buy them too!

I hope the rest of your week goes well

Sales shopping : Dune

Hello!

I hope you've had a lovely day.  Today I stayed home all day, I needed some chill time to acknowledge that my summer is coming to an end.  Next week I will be teaching some ballet classes for the first time so I have been sourcing music and thinking about that.  I also tried to help my sister to organise her room as she's moving back home after finishing college.

I thought I would share another of my sale purchases with you.  I bought these pretty crazy shoes in the sale from Dune.  They were having a special 20% extra off the sale price so although they were originally 80 pounds I got them for 27.

These are definitely one of my braver purchases!  I think they could look great with some skinny jeans and a plain top, maybe with a blazer.

How would you wear them?

Have a great evening :)

Sunday Things

I had an early start today for a Sunday.  Well, I was up at 9.30 am.  After a phone call to my Mum I decided to paint my nails.  I fancied a shiny mossy green colour.  It's called Kiwi and it's by Misslyn.  I haven't painted my nails in ages as I've been performing a lot recently and I was definitely out of practise.  Urgh!  Not the perfectly painted nails I'd been imagining.  I like this unusual earthy colour though.

When I got dressed I decided I was in a dotty mood.  I wore this grey and yellow dotty top by H&M and some old Gap 1969 jeans that I've worn to death over a year or more and definitely need replacing!

I also wore some grey pearl earrings to match my top.  They are so simple and yet slightly unusual because of the grey colour.  I'd really like to make some of these using freshwater pearls and sterling silver.  These ones are from Accessorize.  They came in a set of three colours and have been so useful as I can wear them with almost anything.

After that I went off to the shops where I ended up going in to the sale at Mango.  Big Mistake!  Two new pairs of shoes and a jumper later I was back at home.

Both these shoes were really good deals.  The khaki ankle boots have a good tread so will hopefully last me a while.  The black high heels should go with pretty much anything and were so elegant and classy looking when I tried them on in the shop!  Any excuse for a new pair of shoes.  You can still buy them on-line here for the suede ankle boots, and here for the suede slip on pumps.

It gets dark here so early it's hard to take pictures in natural lighting.  I'll try and take a picture of my new jumper during the day sometime soon.  If it wasn't Winter I'd love to try taking some outfit photos outside with my new camera.

I hope you had a lovely Sunday.  Until next time!

Cute shoes of the day!

Sindy Blue Polka Dot Platform Sandals

We can't always buy all the shoes that we want but we can upload a picture of them and dream!  These Topshop shoes are sexy and retro cute in one!  A cute 50's bow on sky high platforms of the brightest blue. Even a bit of polka dot has managed to squeeze in there.  I can imagine Katy Perry in these neon beauties!
