shoes

Walk this way

10 June 2015

For someone who has constant issues with her feet, I never really buy shoes or invest in a good pair. However in the last month I have purchased two bits of footwear. A pair of heels and some loafers. All shocking for me, because ankle boots are my footwear of choice even in the summer you’ll find me wearing ankle boots. I loathe wearing flats if I’m honest, I have really flat feet and a terrible left ankle and flat shoes offer no support. They also make my feet look huge. I own a couple of sandals for those really hot days and short walks. I thought I’d snap up these shoes as I think they are both stunners in their own right and might inspire you to get yourself a pair.


ASOS MIRIAM Woven Leather Loafers in Black - £36 (can't link as they no longer sell them sadly)

 The first are these ASOS Loafers. I’m pretty sure I saw Hannah for Cocobeautea wearing these, but I can’t be sure. I had these sitting in my ‘save for later’ bag for ages. They are not the type of shoes I go for so I really did um and ah about them, but in the end I was popped it in my bag when I was buying some other things. When I got it I still ummed and ahhed, I really liked it but I just wasn’t sure if it was ‘me.’ I sought opinions from a girl at work and my friend and in the end I kept it and I’m glad I did. I love just throwing it on with skinny jeans to smarten up an outfit, or just make it look like I’ve put some effort in. They are smart and casual at the same time. I ordered these in a size 7 so I could put my insole in by they are super tight with them in, so I’ve been working on stretching it out. But I’m in loooove with these and they have a good amount of support at the sides and the soles. 




Next is a pair of heels! I haven’t purchased a pair of heels in over 2 years. I just don’t go anywhere that requires them and my ankle is really bad that I can’t wear them unless they are block heels. For my birthday I wanted a whole new outfit. These I put these heels in my bag and didn’t think much of it, however when they arrived I was like these are seriously nice! Even my mum loved them and she really wanted a pair, so guess what she’s getting as part of her present? I love that gold detail on these and the fact that it’s a block heel means I am fully supported when I walk in it. I love that it’s black too because it goes with a lot things. I’m definitely happy with this purchase and I do just want to sleep with these babies next to me every night, but that would actually be kinda gross.

I think I'm all satisfied now for shoes. I probably will get myself another pair of black boots (I can't help it) but other than that I'm pretty satisfied. What shoes have you purchased and loved recently?

The Shoe Edition

22 August 2014

So following on with my H&M stalk (The Basics Edition) , I thought I’d share four pairs of shoes from them that I am loving the look of!


H&M shoes



Boots - £24.99 - I am loving these boots. I’ve never been too sure about getting Doc Marten’s I just think they’re too heavy for me but I do like a solid looking boot. As Autumn is approaching I feel like some good boots and they can be paired with a variety of outfits.

Loafers - £9.99 - I wear a lot of black on a day to day basis. Like serious ‘errthang all black’ so something like this is perfect for me to throw into an outfit. I don’t often wear flat shoes, I have very flat feet and my left ankle is incredibly weak and in addition to that, flat shoes do not have any support in general. But I do occasionally wear them and for those moments I think having pretty ones is the best option!

Sneakers - £19.99 - I am in love with these sneakers. I love the chain detail on it as well as the white sole. I love how it’s not a trainer – it’s just something a little different and will add something to any casual look I throw on.

Loafers - £9.99 - I am in need of new black flats. I managed to burn through one in like a month (do not ask me how). As I’ve said above I wear a lot of black so couldn’t overlook this beauty. Plus who doesn’t need a pair of black loafers? It’s a staple piece!

The Work Wardrobe

11 July 2014

Happy Friday everyone! I have some clothes to share and good news. So nearly a year on from graduating I have finally managed to bag myself a job as a marketing assistant. I am incredibly happy because it’s the position I was searching for and just means the beginning of my career.

I’ve kept quite hush about it until it was all finalised BUT it was a great week when I passed my driving test and got a job, I feel like I finally have something to show for all the work I’ve done the past 9 months! Although I do have to say, who honestly thinks it’s a good idea to let me loose on the roads of London?!

So of course a new job means new clothes! I’ve probably bought about 5 pieces of clothes this year, yes that's the truth. I told myself I wouldn’t purchase anything new until I lost weight, but considering that has been the slowest journey ever, it meant no clothes. Which is a good thing because I was pretty much broke a lot of the time. But now, of course, I need a work wardrobe. My dress code is smart casual, which basically means don't come looking like a tramp. We're allowed to wear trainers and whatnot so it's not strict at all. So I’ve gone hunting and oh man here are just some of the things/styles I am loving.

Have you got any pieces that are staples in your work wardrobe? I'd love to hear them.

10 November 2012

So with my student loan finally coming in, I did a little bit of a shop! I can't even remember half of what I've bought now, but I have managed to acquire two pairs of trainers and some high heels (although these were a gift). I thought what better wa o keep my blog updated and show off my goodies? I finally have a pair of high tops! And I got them off ebayfor a bargain of £30 (inc. postage). I love them AND they have purple features, so goood :)


I just love them! 

The next thing to show is my heels! They were a gift and they are incredibly high!
Currently £10 at Republic.




Say hello to my purple Vans! Schuh are doing this and many more for £30, so I would log on to the website if you want a pair!


Love these, love purple. So I'm really happy with my bargains and new footwear!

Spread your wings, my little butterfly.

Recent purchases



My boyfriend bought this jumper for me. Fred Perry are having a sale, so if you like them head over to their website. He ordered it today so I should be able to have it by Monday, very excited to have it. I ordered myself two pairs of shoes from New Look. 

I am hunting for black boots because I'm tired of wearing my trainers into work. Long story short, I have foot issues and wear insoles. But instead of my outfits always looking horrid because I'm wearing funky looking trainers (expensive and supportive ones though) I thought I'd get myself some boots because I can transfer my insoles into them. I actually ordered it to the store, so didn't have to pay for delivery and will pick it up on Monday.

 I love the Aztec ones, it's a nice little bit of detail which I think it cute. And Chelsea boots because I like the style. I'm trying to save because I have TWO weekends of partying for 21st birthday but luckily pay day comes in between :)

I spend my day looking at shoes I cannot wear. As my foot is royally fucked, I'm avoiding buying heels for a long time, but that just means I look. I have seen Kandee around for a while, but always on international sites and I'm not paying for custom charges. Anyway today as I was browsing New Look I saw they now offer Kandee shoes! I of course then find the Kandee website and you can just order it on there...Anyway! New Look is easy to order from and well just look at these beauties!
Kandee Shoes



If you love studs like I do then, these are just a perfect match for you. I love the pink ones and they are available from New Look online. If anyone wants to buy me then, so I can just look at them, then I'm willing to take gifts :)
