metcalfe’s popcorn…v.3

I’ve posted numerous reviews of Metcalfe’s Skinny Topcorn over the last year, and now I am excited to share that the products are available in Caffe Nero coffeeshops nationwide! If you find yourself near a Caffe Nero I recommend grabbing a bag…this stuff is addictive (grab me a Wasabi, please!)

Not near a Caffe Nero? You can buy online, too!

This Pearl Lowe for Peacocks dress first caught my eye the day it was launched, but at £40 I just couldn’t justify it.
By after Christmas, temptation peaked as it was reduced to half price, but still I held off. Just as I was really kicking myself for being so cheap, a chance wander past a Peacocks store on Friday led to a quick rummage and I secured the dress for a mere £10. Patience pays, folks…and shopping fate strikes again!

Worn with my trusty Tesco tights and my New Look bargain shoe boots (another fine example of patience paying off) for my first day back at work…which went wonderfully. I do start to question my sanity when I’d rather be at work than at home, but there are so many lovely people to talk to at work, and only myself for company at home.

Tuesday is my standard day off; easing in nice and gently! Mum’s off too so we’re braving the freezing cold and heading in to Cabot Circus to spend the last of our Christmas money.

Hope your week is getting off to a cracking start!

Sarenza A-Z: Carvela

Week three of the A-Z of Sarenza and this week’s favourite is Carvela, another well known brand among the shoe lovers. What I love about this brand is the variety; between practical boots and killer heels (with some gorgeous summer sandals in the mix) there is something for everyone!

From top to bottom my favourites are:

Glam, £120. I don’t think the name could be any more apt, these are my perfect party shoe.

Kob, £85. Looking ahead to Summer (I promise it’s coming) and the huge prominence of pastels, these pretty sandals are on my wish list and the heel is just the right height for day time wearing.

Sasha, £128. Something a bit more practical for right now, I seem to be attracted to this style of boot this winter and the wedge heel makes these stand out a little more than the obvious flat version, and means they are ideal for a slightly more dressed up casual look.

Simon, £120. Simple Simon? Sometimes simple works as well as anything more fancy. I can see a lot of you loving these as much as I do.

Gladiolus, £91.70 (sale price). Glitzy enough to be current, neutral enough to be a classic…I’d call these the investment shoe of the bunch.

What do you think? Are you crazy for Carvela? Which pair gets your vote?

Happy Monday folks,
Have a great start to the week

the lazy one

Primark Jumper, Vintage fabric skirt, Dorothy Perkins tights, Jeffrey Campbell shoes c/o Sarenza.

I go back to work tomorrow, and as much as I am looking forward to it (yes, I am one of those odd folk) I think the most fitting end to my fortnight impromptu holiday is an indulgently lazy day.

What are your favourite lazy day activities? I’m thinking kindle, crafts and coffee.
