shoes that girl?

08th February 2012

Dress, Yumi. Tights, Tesco. Shoes, Irregular Choice c/o Sarenza.

On Sunday my parents took a little trip down to Clark’s Village (for those who don’t know, it’s an outlet shopping centre). Before they went I cheekily requested a present; expecting a treat from the Cadbury world shop there at most…
Sometimes parents surprise you though, I certainly didn’t expect them to come back with a shoe print dress for me, that fits like a dream and sums me up to a tee! Dear parents, you may go shopping more often!

(Anyone looking for a Barbour jacket should head to Clarks, my Dad picked up an amazing one for £130 instead of £200-odd)

What memorable gifts have your parents surprised you with? Good or downright odd, I want to know!

cuddle monster

07th February 2012

Skirt, Zara. Top and faux fur gilet, New Look. Tights, Pretty Polly. Boots, Jeffrey Campbell c/o Sarenza.

Every time I see someone wear faux fur, be it in real life or on a blog I feel compelled to give them a huge cuddle. There is something so appealing about it, and I really do have to restrain myself from walking up to strangers and casually stroking their arm. Anyone else like that? No? Just me then!

Not much happening in my little part of the world; we escaped the snow chaos (I even have slight envy over the white stuff) and I have a madhouse of a week ahead. How’s it going for you?

Don’t forget there are TWO giveaways going on right now,

One with Very, which closes on Friday

And one For Your Eyes Only.

Sarenza A-Z: Friis and Company

06th February 2012
Friis and Company is another of those brands I have never heard of before working with Sarenza, originally from Denmark the brand specialises in shoes and accessories with an edge.

1. If like me, you like to carry your entire life around with you then the Envy Big Leather Bag could be the answer to your prayers; it’s a wonder I haven’t given myself curvature of the spine with the amount of stuff I carry on a daily basis.

2. I love the mix of textures on the Addie boots, I think they’d make a great alternative to stilettos on a night out.

3. Beautiful Belinda, it’s probably clear by now that I have an obsession with this style of shoe; I find it so versatile and easy to dress up or down. The purple colour makes a nice change from brown or black.

4. Beata makes me think of Chelsea Boots on growth hormones. I love how the high heel and contrasting materials gives them an edgy update.

5. Sarenza list the colour of the Forster shoulder bag as “curry”…an odd choice perhaps, but it doesn’t put me off. I don’t even know why I’m looking at bags given last months Marc by Marc Jacobs splurge.

Are you familiar with Friis and Company? What’s your favourite shoe brand beginning with “F”?

*Giveaway* For Your Eyes Only

05th February 2012

This isn’t the first time I’ve done a giveaway with wish.co.uk, the first time was an afternoon tea and the second a pamper session. This time I’ve gone for something totally different and one reader is going to win a For Your Eyes Only photo shoot.

For Your Eyes Only (FYEO) are an all-female troop of photographers trained to create flawless and tasteful nude shots that flatter any figure. This voucher entitles you to exclusive use of the studio and a choice of eight ravishing poses that’ll bring out your inner goddess. By which we mean your very own naked deity.
Our photographers are trained to make you feel completely at your ease. It’s totally up to you how much you bare on the day and we guarantee an enjoyable and confidence-boosting experience.

On the day of your photo shoot, you’ll meet your photographer to discuss what you want to achieve from the shoot before having your make up applied by a professional make up artist. You’ll then go into the studio and your photographer will direct you into a range of flattering poses. After the photo shoot, your photographer will edit the images and a few days later, send you a secure link to view the finished photos that only you have access to.

Included in the voucher is one 5 x 7″ photo. You’ll then be able to purchase extra photographs if you wish.

Locations-: High Wycombe, Bucks (South East); Tunbridge Wells, Kent (South East); Essex (South East); Manchester; Newcastle (North); Taunton, Somerset (South West)

Notes-: This voucher is valid for 10 months. This experience is suitable for women over the age of 18. You have the opportunity to purchase additional photographs if you wish. This is an exclusive experience where you have sole use of the studio and should not be confused with other photo shoot packages. The friendly staff will be happy to discuss any specific requirements that you have prior to your photo shoot.

To enter you simply need to leave a comment on this post including a way for me to get in touch if you win. The giveaway will close a week today, at 8pm on Sunday 12th Feb and the winner will be contacted shortly after.
