little miista

Last week Miista threw a legendary “cheaper with a tweet” event and I was lucky enough to hit the jackpot, scoring the Batilda boots in black for a mere £6.60. I think fate was on my side that day as there was literally ONE pair left in my size.
Quite honestly I think these are the most beautiful boots I own and despite their height they are stupidly comfortable.

You might not score quite the bargain I did, but it is only fair to tell you Miista have a bit of a sale going on right now too!

For these photos I wore them with my much loved Motel Heidi dress (one of my most worn dresses I think!) and some super cheap and not so cheerful tights from Tesco. Outfits are a bit lazy this week as I’ve been doing phlebotomy shifts at work and just chucking what’s clean on when I change out of my uniform.

((Shout out to Miista for sending the shoes in a Mae size box, she is one happy kitty!))

black magic

Peacocks tee, Next skinny jeans, Friis & Company shoes c/o Sarenza.

Couldn’t resist these shoes in the Sarenza sale, a bargain at £33.50. I have decided that if I want to wear any vaguely sandal like shoes then they need to be a wedge; as mentioned on Monday, they are the ideal solution for keeping feet out of puddles!

These jeans are so old now…six or seven years I think. Shared between my Mum and I (I currently have ownership I think) they are the best fitting jeans I have ever found and I don’t think I could ever part with them.

Heard on the grapevine we might actually get some kind of summer after all…looks like my sunglasses post below saved us!

Happy Wednesday folk. Keep your chins up.

Super Sunglasses from Shadestation

 You may have noticed a new advertiser on my sidebar lately…the rather fabulous shade station, sellers of all things sunglasses
With my holiday booked (yep, still banging on about it) I’m kind of obsessed with all things sunnies so thought I’d share my top picks from their vast selection by way of introduction!

From top to bottom:

Miu Miu, Rayban, Gucci, Marc Jacobs

I actually got my first pair of Raybans this year and I am hooked! Which pair is your favourite? If money were no object, what sunglasses would you choose?

Candy Striped

Miss Selfridge tee, Zara skirt, Dorothy Perkins tights, Toms.

I wore this on Sunday, a day that turned out to be un-expectedly glorious. Yesterday, by contrast, was not…it was like Monday AND Friday 13th all rolled in to one.

Still, onwards and upwards. Today is a new day!

How did your week start off? Sorry for such a brief post, there really isn’t much to chat about!
