Primark Spring/Summer Shoes

Today is such a happy day. I had a job interview this morning which I felt went really well (keep your fingers crossed for me!) After the interview I then went and did some shopping as I desperately need to restock my summer wardrobe. Whilst hunting about in Primark I came across these gorgeous shoes, and I had to have them!

Firstly are these black faux suede pointed shoes. A while back I went off pointed shoes but the flats are starting to grow on me, which is why I picked two styles up today. I'm still not sure how I feel about pointy heels though! I tend to go for a lot of black in my outfits out of habi,t and I've found that I don't have any casual flat black shoes so for £5.00, these are perfect!

Next are these. They are the exact same material and style as the black shoes above except with an embellished bow. The black shoes above did actually come in this colour but they didn't have them in my size. But these will be great for jazzing up outfits with. As much as I love black, I'm also a huge neutral girl and will always go for browns and creams. These retail at £6.00.

Finally, are these gorgeous coral, embellished pumps for £6.00. I am absolutely loving coral this season and when I do want to spruce up my outfits with a bit of colour these will be perfect! They also do these in alternate colours, so the shoe is cream and the bow is coral. I might go back and get them next time but I decided that for now, 3 pairs was enough!

 

So there you have it, 3 pairs of shoes for £17.00!! I don't expect them to be amazing quality, but they'll do for this season.

Miss Selfridge Mondays #1

There isn't a better way to cheer yourself up on a dull Monday than a bit of Internet shopping, but due to money funds I am just 'screen shopping' and putting a list together of things I'd like. This is my first wishlish post, so bare with until I get to grips!

Now Miss Selfridge is my most favourite shop on the highstreet, if I had all the money in the world, I'd buy one of everything from here, but right now, these bits have caught my eye!

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

1. Daley Coral Bow Back Pump £22.00 - I am absolutely loving coral at the moment, or anything with a pinky, peachy, red tone to it. These pumps are so cute for spring and summer and will look perfect with leggings, jeans, skirts and dresses.

2. Lace Hem Skirt £29.00 - My wardrobe seriously needs updating because at the minute I don't really own any cute skirts which are perfect to wear during the day, only my bodycon skirt which I wear going out on the town. Can you tell I'm liking the colour Coral at the moment?

3. Lurex Lace Crop Top £25.00 - This top is beautiful and I'm loving the colour, I can't wait till summer truly gets here and we can break away from all the darks and neutrals and embrace the pastels!

4. Nude Plain Peter Pan Blouse £30.00 - This is such a gorgeous blouse, I already own a very sheer white one, but I love the collar and bow on this blouse.

5. William Rose Pink Bow Wedge £45.00 - I'm currently going through a shoe obsession phase and I can't help myself but buy more and more, especially wedges, I have a new found love for them.

6. Wham Nude Chiffon Bow Wedge £45.00 - Again, I'm a sucker for new shoes, and especially ones with bows on, even though I own quite a few similar to this from Miss Selfridge, I want more!

Recent Purchases.

It's Monday morning and the sun is shining! A Sign to the start of a good week, and also starting the week with my Dads birthday. So Happy Birthday Daddy!

I never really do posts on recent purchases in the regards to clothing but I thought I'd try something different. I also love reading posts on other peoples purchases and hauls. So here are a few things which I've picked up in the last few weeks.

Miss Selfridge Flower 3D Sparkle Tee - £37.00

First, is this beautiful peachy embellished top. I was given a top for my birthday from Miss Selfridge and it wasn't quite right so my Mum took it back for me and exchanged it for this top. I love it! It looks great with a pair or skinny jeans to jazz them up. I also love that it's not tight fighting as I don't always want to wear tight clothes when I'm having those bloated days.

Miss Selfridge Cream Lace Thong - £4.50

I am also a sucker for lovely underwear and whilst Mum was out exchanging my top she also picked these up for me. I don't know how any girl can resist beautiful underwear?!

Dorothy Perkins Blue Zip Peplum Top - £22.00

I recently went into Dorothy Perkins and this top immediately caught my eye. It also comes in aqua and white and I struggled which one to choose but I think I might go back and get both! This top is now in the sale for £12.00 but when I brought it Dorothy Perkins were having a student discount promotion of 25% off. I'm not sure if the event is still running but it's worth a look as their SS13 collection is looking gorgeous.

New Look Wedge Shoes - £29.99

These shoes were on my Christmas list and when I went into Newlook and saw the last size 7's I knew I had to have them and brought them with my vouchers. They look great to wear in the day and also at night when I'm off out for evening that is quite casual such as the pub. These have become my new babies!

New Look Pale Pink Box Across Body Bag - £9.99

For a while I have been wanting a smaller bag which will still be able to fit in the essentials which I need but is a lot smaller from my other bags and one which I actually like. It's hard for me to find small bags which I like as I am such a large handbag girl so that I can even take the kitchen sink with me. So when my boyfriend's Mum gave me this bag for my birthday I fell in love with it, it was everything I had been looking for.

 

So that is all for now, but I'm sure that soon enough I'll be back out shopping and will have more shoes, clothes and accessories to show you all.

Happy Monday!

Happy Birthday To Me!

I've been a little quiet over the last week and that's because last week on Thursday was my birthday! I can't believe it had been a year since my exciting 18th birthday and I am now 19, which to some of you probably still seems like a baby, but it makes me feel old. I want to be 18 forever! I was so incredibly spoilt for my birthday and I'm only going to show you a selection of my favourite presents from my family, friends and wonderful boyfriend. As things like money, vouchers, knickers and socks aren't really exciting to photograph!

These are some of the lovely gifts which I received. I also received some lovely clothing too but haven't included them in the photo because they're in the wash from wearing them at the weekend.

My Mum brought me the Ted Baker wash bag to match my make-up bag which I had been trying to get my hands on for ages and eventually did, you can read my blog post about it here. So I'm ecstatic that I now have the matching set! This was perfect for my weekend away. My Granny also a lovely large 150ml Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish. I absolutely love this stuff, it has to be my most favourite cleanser and now I'm stocked up, especially as I got some for Christmas too! The fairy lights are to replace my old ones which broke, I'm in love with them and have already placed them around my headboard of my bed. My bedroom looks so cute and girly at night with these lights, it's definitely my safe haven, and place I go to relax.

 I am mad on baking, and when I was out shopping with my Stepmum I pointed this book out to her and said how much I loved it and would one day like to buy it. She remembered our conversation and went and brought it for me! Yay! There will definitely be more foodie posts coming soon as I work my way through the cook book. I'm drooling even thinking about it!

 I love, love, love, love this gift from my Auntie, Uncle and Cousins! Recently I have become a major Vampire Diaries fan and have even gotten my boyfriend, Tyler into it as well. This is season 1-3 and we're currently half way through watching season 1 on Netflix, so I can cancel my subscription now I have the box set and save money! Are any of you Vampire Diaries fans, girls?!

 Again, my Dad and Stepmum did so well with these beautiful shoes which I have been lusting over for months, I now own them in cream and purple!! Miss Selfridge are great for shoes if any of you girls are looking for ideas.

 This really had to be the best birthday present of all!! My boyfriend was amazing enough to take me to Paris on the weekend of my birthday! I couldn't believe it when he told me, I was in so much shock and so, so incredibly excited! We have both been wanting to go to Paris for quite a while and were planning on organising a trip for March but I couldn't believe it when he surprised me with a trip for my birthday. I really am the luckiest girl alive. I had such an amazing time this weekend and I really can't thank him enough! I'm going to do a short post of a few holiday snaps of Paris soon!

As well as taking me to Paris for the weekend during the day on my birthday a delivery van pulled up and delivered me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever received from my boyfriend, that man is full of surprises!

It really has been a great 19th birthday and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family, boyfriend and friends. There really aren't enough words to tell you all how grateful I am, and how right now life is just perfectly amazing. 2013 has kicked off with a bang!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

 

Christmas 2012 - The Best Yet.

This Christmas really was the best yet. It was spent with my family and all the ones I love. Christmas day and Boxing day consisted to eating and drinking, exchanging presents, playing silly family games, watching all the Christmas TV and dozing by the fire. I wouldn't have spent my Christmas in a different way it really was the best. I was also so incredibly spoilt by my family and boyfriend and I felt it very overwhelming. They had all been so kind and generous and I cannot thank them enough.

I know lots of people like these kinds of posts, myself included as a way to be nosey and see all the fabulous gifts which everyone received. If you don't like these posts then I would suggest you do not read it or comment. This isn't me bragging about what I was given it's a way for bloggers to share what they all got.

As you can tell I've been very spoilt! There really aren't enough words to explain how I feel! I love my family so incredibly much and cannot wait to start 2013 with them!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!!

#81 I Want These Bad Boys!

Now I'm not usually one to physically lust over something and want something. After putting my spending habits on hold whilst I save my money up, somehow the craving of lusting and wanting new clothes and shoes disappeared.

However, when I saw these on the cover of this months Cosmopolitan Magazine modelled by Jessica Ennis, I knew that I just had to have them! I love high heels, I have a bit of a thing for really pretty ones, even though I have a really small collection myself. If I ever do have a bit of money spare to spend on myself the shoe section is always where I head to first. There wasn't anything in particular that I was drawn to, it was just the complete beauty of the shoe. Although the glitter did win me over that little bit more!

These babies are from Topshop and I have been scouring my iPhone app and just can't seem to find them online to post a link with them. Which is also why they're photographed straight for the magazine too. So I'm thinking that they're probably going to come in with at Autumn Winter season. However, my trusty Cosmopolitan Magazine tells me that when they do eventually retail they will cost £78 which isn't bad going for the beauty of them!

What are you lusting over at the moment?

#49 It Could Only Happen To Me...

Woah! Would you look at that! Two blog posts in one week! Aren't you all lucky things! 
So today at college this morning it dragged for so long, I don't know what it is about Wednesdays, I think it's because it's my only 9-5.30 day. So whilst I wasn't in the greatest of moods today at 8.30 in the morning only the worst thing in the world could happen to me... The handle on my bag snapped! This also nearly caused tears as it was my most favourite bag in the world which I brought from 'The Genuine Fake Factory' in Turkey. Yes the shop really was called that, I even have pictures to prove it!

Yes! There it is! The Genuine Fake Factory, I took this photo all the way in Turkey. But I have to admit they were bloody good fakes, and I absolutely fell in love with a Louis Vuitton brown leather bag which since the summer I have taken everywhere with me. I don't do little bags I am very much an oversized girl to the point the boys on my course nick-named my bag 'The Suitcase' So after being in a foul mood at my favourite bag breaking beyond repair and the annoyance of having to carry it awkwardly I decided to head off into the town on my lunch break and hit the shops where I found a rather cute little every day bag in Topshop which was the perfect size and colour and just what I needed. 

This bag is just perfect and I can't believe I found it so quickly. It costs £30 but I managed to get it for £27 with my student discount, oh the beautys of still being a student! Although, I nearly did shed a tear when I had to throw my most favourite bag into the bin! Also, I just can't believe that it fits all the stuff I need for college, I never thought I'd find another. I also had to follow tradition of new bag, new shoes ;) and I managed to quickly find these comfy little flats in New Look for I think £24. I didn't go out with the intentions to spend a lot of money at all today but they were necessities!
