flat footed

Dress, liberated from Ellie in Spain, Tights, Tesco, Shoes c/o Miss Ikon, Poser Cat still free to a good home!

The flatform trend is one I’ve watched from afar since it first emerged. I was always in two minds over whether I actually liked it or not. Lately I’ve decided I do (also creepers have grown on me) so when I was given the change to choose a pair of shoes from Miss Ikon these black flatform sandals were my first choice.

I doubted their comfort, I have a high instep and a totally flat shoe base doesn’t usually suit my feet and I wondered about walking in them.
Worries banished, these are so comfortable and once again I am impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the shoe. They take a little bit of getting used to walking wise, but I’m a convert and I intend to wear them to death for what remains of the summer!

How’s the weekend panning out? Yesterday saw me FINALLY track down a jumper from Asda that I’ve been coveting and spending quality time relaxing. Today is ScratchCard Sunday and I am hoping to boost our £6 winnings (three weeks of winning in a row…can it be done?!)

Knowing I don’t have to get up for work tomorrow…total bliss! I hope those of you at festivals aren’t getting too soggy! I believe in true British fashion this weekend is set to be a washout!

Lovable Lingerie

It’s time to be seduced by Italy’s number-one lingerie brand, Lovable this

summer with its glamorous and sexy new range soon to the sold in the UK for the first time. Hitting rails exclusively at selected John Lewis stores from August, the chic new range offers British women a taste of Italian style, contemporary design and quality at an affordable price.

Whether you’re looking for an iconic vintage look, a sexy balconette or feather light lingerie, there’s something in the range to speak to the Italian woman in you with these fabulously feminine new designs.

I’m a sucker for pretty lingerie despite my lack of bust and this range is just gorgeous! Looking at the John Lewis website, prices are around £15 for pants and £32 for a bra which doesn’t seem bad to me!

My favourite set is the Vintage Couture one, picture above…classic, sleek and sophistacted. What’s not to love?

Lovable by name and nature.

Tribal

Dress c/o Miss Ikon, Tights from Superdrug, Boots Georgia Rose c/o Sarenza. Cat…free to a good home 😉

I suppose really I should apologise to introducing you all to yet another place to shop, but I think you’ll thank me when you actually take a look at Miss Ikon for yourselves…currently rocking a brilliant Bank Holiday sale there are so true gems on this site…
I’m in love with this Aztec Print dress and impressed, REALLY impressed both by the quality and length of it (something often lacking in the highstreet these days)

Mae tones in nicely with this outfit. She’s going through a bit of a naughty phase at the moment, tearing up carpets and generally being mad. She makes up for it by being cute though, so I guess she can stay!

Happy weekend folks, anyone got bank holiday plans?
I am indulging in the extra day off by doing not a lot at all, one way or another it’s been a testing week and I’ve come out the stronger person (albeit it the exhausted one too!)
Onwards and upwards.

P.S. apologies for the blurred pictures, someone needs to clean their lens!

Designer Dining

It’s not often that something in a magazine instantly compells me to blog, and even less often that the magazine I’m browsing is House Beautiful!
The second I clamped eyes on this fabulous set of ceramics by Kate Spade I knew I had to feature them…
Available at John Lewis these aren’t cheap, prices start at £27.50 for a mug *gulp*. Value wise, you can’t go wrong with the Tidbit Plates, at £50 for four, they work out at a practically bargainous £12.50 each…I do love a quick bit of shopping maths!

What’s caught your eye lately? What do you think of this amazing range?
