Oh Deer

07th November 2012

On my last foray in to the outside world I couldn’t resist having a little spend on some pick me up treats. I am meant to be on a shoe ban but these Lace up Brogue Creepers were only £19.99 in New Look and are really comfortable and supportive of my foot for when I am allowed to weight bear on it again! Medicinal shoes, that’s all the excuse I needed!

I wore them on Sunday despite being practically housebound with my trusty Oasis jeans and this Cute Deer Top from Asda which was a present from my Mum. Whilst in Asda I also picked up this bargainous Pink Coat which cost all of £19.99 and is both well fitting and well made. Well done Asda, well done!

Day three of being housebound awaits. I have a list of things I can do sitting down, but none of the appeal. What I want is fresh air and to be in work (yes, really!) but alas…it’s time I put myself first and actually let the foot heal.

What do you do when your stuck inside? And what have you been buying lately?

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Lancelot Knight

06th November 2012

My passion for bags may get somewhat overshadowed by my shoe obsession but it’s there…when the images of these amazing bags by Lancelot Knight dropped in to my inbox my instant reaction was “I NEED ONE NOW”

For those whom Lancelot Knight is new to (which up until yesterday included myself) here’s a little more information:

“Lancelot Knight is the UK born brand that takes pride in their bags and leathers. With the classic
satchel and their new Avon Barrel bag, Lancelot Knight has created quality leather bags with style
and use and in mind. Available in colours from the classic brown to bright Neon pink, there is a bag
for everyone at Lancelot Knight”

It’s the Avon Barrel bag that has won my affections at the moment…

Costing £115 for the yellow and green version and £125 for the fluro pink (my true favourite) these are definitely one for the Christmas list (it wouldn’t be Christmas without treating yourself too, would it?)
Satchel fans will love the Chelsea Satchel range (around £98) and I wouldn’t say no to the Harrow Bag either

Check out the full range on the website and let me know which one you’ll be hoping to find wrapped up under your tree.

Novelty Knitwear Addict

06th November 2012

Asos Jumper, Really old New Look skirt, Yull Chelsea Boots.

I’ve lost track of how many jumpers I’ve bought this year, everywhere I turn there is another one I want…this one is a particular favourite; good old ASOS indulging my not so secret cat lady-isms.

How did your week start off? Did you celebrate with Sparklers or hide under a duvet? Mine could have gone better, in fact yesterday ended up being a total nightmare; you know you get those days where you have a total inability to cope with anything? That was me, a sobbing wreck, confused and sad and just pissed off with the world. There was insult to (literal) injury too as I have been signed off work for a week to give my stupid foot a chance to rest and heal whilst awaiting physio; a dream for many, I’d frankly rather be at work but having spent ten long years putting others first, it’s time to do what is right for me and this foot won’t mend itself with my insistence on carrying on as normal.

Thank you to my twitter pals for keeping me sane and making me smile. Special shout-out goes to Polly for the e-mail entertainment and un-wavering moral support.

Today is a new day, things might be changing but that doesn’t mean I have to be miserable. Onward and upwards…indeed.

Sarenza Shoe of the Week

05th November 2012

So this week my Sarenza pick has limited itself to just one, but with that I have gone from the sensible to the “even without a poorly foot I could never wear these, but I love them anyway”

I introduce the Starry Night Super Pltfrm by Iron Fist, a brand that I’ve never really enjoyed before but lately they are coming out with some super pieces! This pair costs £91 which isn’t bad for something so damn striking, however they really would be the kind of shoe I buy and then put on display; by the time I’m back in heels I think it’ll be kitten heels and not much else.

Would you be able to walk in these? Are you an Iron Fist…which of their styles is your favourite?

Mad for Miista

04th November 2012
Gabriela in Camel, £135

Luli in Black, £150

May in Silver, £145

Mia in Burgundy/Black, £175

I have a lot of love for shoe brand Miista and I was lucky enough to snag a pair for myself for a mere £6 a few months ago,
above are my favourite pairs from the A/W collection; these aren’t your ordinary winter boots, these are statement shoes for everyday wear…the quality, comfort and ethos of the brand makes the price tag oh so worth it, I’m saving for my next pair already…
Which ones are your favourite? My wild side loves the silver May boots, but for a more classic investment I think you can’t go wrong with the Gabriela lace ups.
