Shoes of The Week #2

Hey guys..

Shoe of the Week time again... Just to let you all know, I won't be keeping the same sort of structure every week like 'splurge' 'Save' .. I'm probably going to feature something different every week, whatever floats my boat like lol :)

After browsing the online shops this week I have realised it's that time of the year again, you know when the sun is shining and the weather is hot (haha who am I kidding) yet the shops are full of warm jackets, boots and furry hats...

So this shoe of the week will feature shoes that are completely perfect for the colder seasons ahead...

LEOPARD

1: Topshop 2: Malindi Patchwork Platform
3: Topshop 4: River Island

All you leopard haters (are there any?) should just face the fact that the leopard print craze will never end! Well I'm at least hoping it will never end.. I will be wearing leopard print until I become 'mutton dressed as lamb' but even when your old.. there are still ways to wear leopard without looking silly!

Autumn Leaves

L-R Topshop, Jeffrey Campbell, Jeffrey Campbell
River Island, Topshop, River Island

I've called this little collection 'autumn leaves' as the colours for A/W seem to resemble the leaves on trees just as they're about to fall off.. I'm super fond of these colours, they're so warm and rich; burnt oranges, warm yellow's, burgundy, brown, tan.. Can't wait to also buy some clothes in these lovely colours.. I completely prefer the darker richer colours rather than the bright's and neon's.

ROCK AND ROLL

1: Kurt Geiger 2: Sam Edelman
3: Topshop 4: Sam Edelman

Rock n Roll.. My favourite! I am totally obsessed with studs, if something has studs it instantly wins me over.. These shoes wouldn't be half as special if they weren't studded! STUDS FTW!!!

I've definitely need to buy some of these.. Love the Topshop leopard wedges, The River Island burnt orange shoe boot.. and ALL of the Rock n Roll collection! 

Lots of love

I need a collar collar, a collar is what I need... OUTFIT

Hey Lovelies!

So I have an outfit post for you today.. I really wanna do more outfit posts, but for some reason since I started blogging I haven't been anywhere special, and have kind of gone a little boring, lol typical isn't it! But hope your all enjoying my other posts, coz I do enjoy making them, and actually spend a lot more time making them than I do making an outfit post!

Top: Topshop
Cardigan: Dorothy Perkins
Shorts: Vintage Levi (DIY STUDS) bought via YAYER
Necklace: Etsy

I wore this outfit to go out for a curry with the girls (which was AMAZING).. Have to say this is THE most annoying collar in the world.. yea it looks good, but it doesn't sit still lol! I really struggled trying to find a jacket to go with this outfit.. the cardigan didn't really look good but it was raining and I had to wear something!

I haven't put the link for the Etsy seller for the necklace, as they've closed their shop.. I'm gutted as they had some super nice things! This necklace just defines the type of jewellery I love.. 

I spent a morning last week studding these lovely shorts.. trusts me it's not easy, I ended up with sore thumbs! Definitely worth it though, I think they look awesome! Bought the studs on ebay, click HERE for the seller.. Definitely recommend this seller.. items arrived the very next day! 

Oh and last thing.. don't you just LOVE old style photo's! 

Primark vs Lowri

Yo yo yo!

My friend wanted to go shopping yesterday, so I tagged along just to get out of the house...

I am really skint so primark was my only affordable option. I went in seen two nice top's instantly and told myself I would spend only £10 maximum.. I seen another nice top and thought Ok, so maybe ill spend £20 maximum.. ended up spending £32.. but if I could have spent a whole lot more really easily!

Primark: 1 - Lowri: 0 

top: £3
Poncho/jumper: £12

It's looks like a poncho, but it has sleeeves! 

both £3

£6

£5 or £6 (cant remember)
This top started it's life with frilly sleeves and a longer
body, but I cut off the sleeves and shortened it!

To be fair, I'm usually not too fond of Primark.. The shopping experience is normally HELL! 

• Clothes all over the floor
• Chav's galore
• Sizes on hanger are never the size of the garment hanging on it
• You have to physically fight your way through people to find the best things
• You have to search and search through piles of crap to find something you like, whereas you walk, for example into Topshop and instantly 20 million amazing things jump out at you shouting 'BUY MEE'
• Huge queue's no matter what time of day

BUT... yesterday was almost a pleasant experience. I walked in.. instantly liked a few things, most hangers were displaying the correct sizes, didn't see one chav (must have been sign on day in the job centre haha) the queues weren't rediculous! So all in all not a bad trip! Rather pleased! 

I also bought a little dress in H&M... It will be perfect on holidays with a tan belt, gold chunky jewellery and sandles...

£7.99

Hope your all having an awesome week :)

Shoes of the Week! #1

Hey Guys..

So Welcome to my new weekly feature. Shoes are my favourite type of accessory, weather it's Sandles (Someone please tell me how to spell sandle, no matter how I spell it, the red spell check squiggly line comes up lol) platforms, brogues, whatever... I love them! My aim was to pick one pair of shoes that I love.. BUT.. I can't decide on just one pair so I'm gonna mix it up a little...

SPLURGE

This is a shoe that only the lucky few will ever own.. The rest of us will sit back and watch as they walk by strutting their stuff in amazing shoes! Lucky for us though, with the wide range of shoes you don't need to spend stupid money to 'strut your stuff'

£1,410

Yves Saint Laurent Baobab python wedge sandals

• The print is perfect
• Is it a heel? Is it a wedge? I love that you have to take a proper look to find out
• The mix of colours in the print means that you could wear these with everything
• Perfect for summer!

SAVE

Basically just amazing yet super affordable shoes

£35.99

Miss Guided CINDY T BAR SUPER HIGH WEDGES IN ORANGE

• The bright colour is eye-catching and beautiful
• A wedge is a comfier summer option than a heel
• Would round off a lovely summer outfit 

TREAT YOURSELF

This is a shoe that is not super cheap or super expensive... It's an 'affordable splurge' 

$158 = £95(ish)

Steve Madden Shazzam Platform - Leopard

• They're leopard print-- need I say more?
• They're Super high
• They would look super hot on a night out
• Summer, winter, spring or Autumn.. They'll see you through every season! 

Hope you enjoyed this post! Just want to say thank you for every comment on every other post... and a big hello and thanks to all new readers and followers :) 

June... Monthly Round up #1

Howdy,

I really want some kind of 'stability' on my blog... I like the idea of weekly round up's, but I honestly don't think I do enough interesting things, nor take enough pictures to be able to do them.. So I'm thinking a monthly round up with a bit of a twist...

My favourite outfit
Sadly I didn't take a 'proper' picture of my favourite outfit in June.. so here's a few 'snippits' of it..

Shirt: Never Fully Dressed
Shorts: Miss Selfridge
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Lita
Jewellery: Topshop

I also wore cute cream lace ankle socks, which just peeped over the Lita's.. :)

My Favourite Buy
Definitely has to be my cardigan featured in 'this' post.. I haven't stopped wearing it!

Biggest Splurge
My favourite buy^^, it was £48.

Best Bargain 
Oh, a toughy.. It's a toss up between my Topshop bag (£12 in the sale)...

...or my espadrilles, which I bought from B&M Bargains for just £2.99

Not the actual shoe I bought.. but more or less the same (mine are actually nicer) I bought them in black too

Best DIY

I bought an age 9-10 boys top From George at ASDA, cut off the sleeves, and around the neck and created this little gem.. it cost £3 and five minutes of my time...

Note: looks much better when not creased or worn.. lol

Biggest Lust

This month it really has to be a fluorescent bag from The Cambridge Satchel Company

My dad won £500, betting on horse racing.. I've tried to convince him that I need this bag in my life.. I've not convinced him yet, but its only £100(ish) so I don't see why he can't buy it for me? lol! Then again, my Mam has already spent half of it on a new Metal Embossed chest of drawers, which is lovely I may add! 

Favourite Picture

Pat on the back for anyone who guesses who the guy is dressed up as..

What have I achieved 
I passed all my exams.. and can continue to Year 3 in University :)

Looking Forward to
Magaluf next month.. ahhhhhhhh seriously can't wait!

So this post probably won't feature the same 'questions' every month.. but what did you think of it? Is it worth doing again for July? Another thing I aim to start is some sort of weekly feature, I really like Daisy Kate's (Fashion Stereotype blog) of 'Sunday Shoes' (I wont actually call it that).. I really love shoes and would love to feature my favourite shoes of that week, whether I've bought them, lusting over them, or just think they're completely crazy.. what do you think?

Thanks for reading lovely's :)

Holiday Special

Hey guys

There's just four weeks until I jet off to Glamorous Magaluf.. It will be my third year holidaying there, I totally love the place. The atmosphere is amazing, the sun is a welcome change, the cheap drinks are lethal.. and it really is one of the best party places on this Earth! Obviously somewhere like Magaluf is not for everyone; but it suits me to a tee!

What am I going to wear? 
Magaluf certainly isn't the place for glamorous sunnies, beautiful detailed maxi dresses, and big floppy hats. Magaluf is no Marbella! Of course that doesn't mean that fashion and glamour goes completely out of the window.. the style is just more laid back and casual.

Daytime
You're totally hungover from a crazy night out on the Maga strip.. all you want to do is get some greasy fried food down your throat. You throw your un-brushed hair into a topknot and maybe add a hairband, wipe off last nights make-up (then in my case put some waterproof mascara and eye-liner on),  put on a cute bikini and some sort of cover-up, grab your shades then your good to go.. normally takes less than 15 minutes..

All items: Topshop

After a day of baking in the sun (or in my case sitting in the sun for half hour, deciding it's too hot, then going back to the room to cool down/sleep for the rest of the day) it's time to get ready to go get drunk (again). Night time looks in Magaluf are still casual, people wearing heels kinda looks odd (by heels I mean huge ones). You don't see many 'going out dresses' like you would see on a night out in Cardiff etc. This would be my perfect night out outfit, Magaluf style..

Jewellery: Regal Rose
Bag: River Island
Everything Else: Topshop

Beauty Essentials

Models Own nail varnish
Mac- Kohl Eyeliner
-pigment eyeshadow
Benefit -Bad Gal waterproof mascara
-instant brow
-benetint
-high beam
-hoola bronzer
-throbb blusher
Topshop Lipstick in Brighton Rock
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
Carmex lipsal
E45 cream

I actually probably have more beauty essentials than this, such as face wipes, hair care etc..

Underwear:
Everybody loves pretty underwear.. obviously underwear is an essential (for most) these are the sets that I would love to be wearing on my hols...

All topshop
(click image to enlarge)

Of course I'd need to take plain white, black and nude bra's too! 

Footwear

As much as shoes are my favourite accessory ever, they really arn't important to me on holiday. Flip flops for the day, Sandles for the night... I'll probably take a tan pair of sandles and a black pair. Here's some of my favourite...

Hope you enjoyed this post.. I sure did enjoy making it.. Got me super exited! I want to start packing my suitcase already! I actually love the week before holidays, lots of organising, planning outfits, sorting out essentials and getting the last things together ready to leave! Bring on the 26th July :) 

Day to Night

Hey guys...

My last post was an accident, but I left it there as I did actually buy that bag in the Topshop Sale, only £12! BARGAIN!

Don't forget to check out my things on EBAY! CLICK HERE

So this is my REAL post for today!

I have been lusting over this dress, so I thought I'd try and create some outfits to inspire me before I commit to buy! 

The day look has a Bohemian feel. I picture this with wavy hair, or a fishtail plait and natural make up.  Imagine a hot summers day (Just imagine that in June??? pffft Damn British Weather) where your shopping, or going out for lunch with friends, just chilling.. Then suddenly you get a phonecall.. a friend wants a wild night out.. You have just one hour to get home, get ready and get out! That's about just enough time to switch the accessories.. Your hair's gone flat and bleugh, so you throw it up into a massive, messy Top Knot, which also shows off your statement earrings. You get out the black eyeliner, and create a dark smoky eye... Suddenly your transformed into a Wild Rock Chick!

I swore I'd never use Polyvore again, but so far all is going ok (apart from not realising that I'd linked my blog to polyvore so everytime I saved an item to 'My Items' I'd actually created a new post! )

This set has come up a little small, but if I make it bigger it goes too big.. so you'll have to squint a bit I'm sorry lol!

Thanks for reading :) 

P.s.. I couldn't use polyvore in the end LOL, so I'll stick to never using it again! NIGHTMARE!

P.P.S.. Can anyone give me any advise on how to make where I post wider, as I want to use XL photo's but they spread out of the space, if you get what I mean? Thankkkks :)
