Flat Out

06th May 2011

Flat out with work and un-inspired outfits (another floral dress you say? oh why not) so you get a scheduled post today…cleverly involving FLAT shoes.

I love heels. My feet and knees do not. I wear them as much as I can tolerate but come the end of the week the only thing I can even contemplate putting on my feet is flats.

First up are these super shiny lace ups by Hush Puppies [yes, I’m shocked too]. The Noura style would be perfect for work and more casual events…I’d probably replace the laces with ribbon.

Maloles Celia…pricey, verrry pricey but how buttery soft and girlishly gorgeous are they? It’s the floral bow on the back that swings it for me.

I admit I am sold on these for the name alone. FLASH ballerina by Schu…I told you my cat was awesome.

I’ve never heard of Emma.Go before but they are now firmly on my radar. STELLA be mine.

insanity

05th May 2011

Insanity is how I’d describe this week. It is so busy and chaotic in all directions but fingers crossed by next week normal, semi-calm service will be resumed.

I came home from work yesterday at a point of mental exhaustion where all I could think of to do was cry.
I didn’t cry. Nope. I was greeted with a box, containing this, from my darling friends at London Wishes

BALLOONS! (A sure fire way to win my heart), a beautiful and touching handwritten card and a gift certificate to name my own rose.

Thank you girls, I wasn’t expecting that at all.

Outfit wise I went for a now ancient (in terms of most things in my wardrobe) dress. The temperatures at work in no way correlate with what the weather outside is doing so dressing for the office can be a bit of a nightmare, hence I find myself wearing the same things over and over.

And I still can’t get the hang on the shoulders on the dress!
(Yes, I know, it’s short. I can’t help that unless I chop a few inches off each leg, or shops start bearing that not everyone wants to flash their arse at the world).

SO close to the weekend guys. SO close.

Wanting.

04th May 2011

A few simple wants on this fine Wednesday.

– Work to calm down just a little. I am exhausted after just one day back!

– To work out my camera settings for outfit photos

– For all my photos to be as clear as this (necklace from Matalan)

– For Flash to stop plotting against the world (and depositing mud on my bed)

– To be this talented (a birthday gift from my doll Eloise)

– These trousers (River Island via ASOS)

– Not not have such a raging dependence on sugar and caffeine and to be able to quit smoking just.like.that. (imagine me snapping my fingers)

– For every day to be pay day

– For you to carry on voting!

– Everyone to be having a fabulous week so far.

A Good Old Bean.

03rd May 2011

Confession…I did not participate in any Royal Wedding Celebrations. Yes, I drooled over the dress, but that was about it. I think I was so over-saturated with the hype that I let the big day pass me by (and I admit now, I regret it).
I thought it unlikely that anything Royal Wedding related would catch my attention, but forgot the power of Twitter and my friends over at Bean Cellar.
You see,
they tweeted that they were munching on Royal Wedding themed jelly beans. I replied in disgust, that I had no jelly beans (I have a serious addiction) and seconds later I had an e-mail, and a couple of days later I have this.

Genius. Utter genius.

For those who don’t know, Bean Cellars are a website dedicated to all things jelly bean! Their quirky bottles of beans make the perfect present for all occasions and you can also buy by the flavour (right up to 4.5kg which is like, a weeks supply, right?)
The prices are fantastic, starting at £2.99 for a bottle of individual flavour beans.

Is there any better way to thank a friend?
