Sarenza Shoe of the Week

15th July 2012

Marcela by Miista (currently reduced to £78 from £130) are the perfect solution to wearing sandals in this wet and miserable weather.

The top half gives the traditional strappy sandal look whilst the super platform prevents soggy feet. Miista may be a fairly new brand but they have made a BIG impression on myself and many other bloggers. I actually came to own my first pair in the last week; but more on that in another post.
Right now I urge you to snap these babies up…and check out the other Miista styles in the Sarenza Sale; they won’t be hanging around for long! They might not be rock bottom prices but trust me…they are worth every single penny.

I mention her a lot on the blog under the guise of “Best Friend”. Well Best Friend (also known as Trudi) turns 25 today and I want to publically humilate her/show my gratitude by wishing her a very, very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

This girl is a legend. An utter legend. More like a family member than a friend, she has put up with more than anyone should (many would have walked away) and taken it all in her stride.

So, Trudi; you girl racer, black belt wielding, kind and caring gem of a friend, I wish you nothing but the happiest of happy days

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for everything…another 50 years and it’ll be Zimmer Frame races down the halls.

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Ted Baker at Tucci

14th July 2012


As holiday mode well and truly kicks in and excitement builds, I thought it apt that my weekly wishlist be the one I wish I was packing!
Having a browse through Tucci I fell head over heels for their range of Ted Baker; a brand that for reasons unknown I have often overlooked.
The floral prints and maxi dresses just beg to be worn in bright sunshine; either lounging round the pool/on the beach or for a night out exploring the local evening scene. The clutch bag is small enough to pack in your suitcase and smart enough for any occassion.
The fact that everything is on sale right now too just sweetens the deal- if I could pick one item and one item only it’d be the Printed Swimwear Maxi Dress at £59.50. My English Rose skin can’t handle the heat for long and this is the most beautiful cover up I have seen!

What are your holiday essentials?

Got any packing tips for me?

five minute summer

13th July 2012

New Look dress, Superdrug tights, Noe shoes c/o Sarenza.

((we’re still trying to persuade Mae to use the cat flap))

Waking up to bright sunshine yesterday threw me completley and all plans of drab outfits went out of the window…I discovered this dress lurking forgotten in my wardrobe, despite being a fairly recent purchase. I popped it on only to realise it was missing a button on the back- never one to miss an opportunity to wear a pretty dress, yesterday morning saw me hastily sewing a button on before 7am!

Alas, the weather wasn’t to last and by the time I had finished work we were back to pouring rain. It was nice while it lasted though; I love how this year us Brits are celebrating and making the most of every second of that yellow ball in the sky, so rare it seems to be.

Happy Friday folks.
Three weeks until my holiday, the countdown has properly begun!
