Funny Face

11th July 2012

Dorothy Perkins dress, Tesco tights, Timeless shoes c/o Sarenza.


And this is what the weather has bought me too, dragging out a winter work dress for what was my Monday afternoon shift. I hate to bang on about it but this summer has been SUCH a dissapointment..as has this year in general actually,
2012, you can end now. Thanks.

I thought I’d pop in this photo of Mae, too, as she adds sunshine to any day! It feels like we’ve had her forever now…so utterly different to Flash, but equally as abnormal!

Happy mid-week folks.

Dress, Missguided. Tights, Primark. Converse c/o Sarenza. All jewellery c/o Strawberry Fields

I’ve known (in the blogging sense) Charlotte, creator of Strawberry Fields jewellery for quite some time now through her blog and I was delighted when she started selling her creations, and even more delighted when she offered to send me a few pieces!

Everything in Charlotte’s shop is handmade, quirky and affordable; from the wooden flower earrings to my personal favourite Mad Hatter Brooch.
Other notable favourites are the pastel blue mix knitted collar, the disney princess jigsaw necklaces…and well, just about everything actually.

Charlotte is currently having a sale, too, to make room for exciting new stock so there really is no better time to have a browse of her shop…she is kindly offering 10% off at the checkout with the code DAISYCHAIN and it is worth ordering for her adorable packaging alone!

You can find out more/stalk Charlotte on twitter, on tumblr or at her blog. She is a total sweetheart so do say hello,
and let me know what you buy!

Sarenza Shoe(s) of the Week

09th July 2012

This week I just couldn’t settle on ONE shoe for my Sarenza shoe of the week, so I compromised and decided on two. The pairs I’m lusting over couldn’t be more different, either…my shoe tastes swing from chalk to cheese at the moment.

Latinas Lezuza in Coral are a bit of a bargain at £42.50 and scream “holiday in the sun” to me. If there weren’t too many days and not enough pennies before payday they would be accompanying me to Spain (3 weeks 4 days!)

On the other end of the price and style spectrum are the rather amazing Cool by Ash (rose) at £166.70. My black hi-top wedges have clearly awakened something in me as prior to that I couldn’t see myself wearing a wedge at all!

What’s on your shoe radar lately? Do you find your taste varies? I used to err on the typically girly side and never wore trainers,
now you’re just as likely to find me in Converse or Toms as you are something truly fabulous!

Black and White.

08th July 2012

Another prime example of dressing for this wonderful weather; MotelRocks.com Jordan Skinny Jeans, H&M shirt and Shoes c/o Spy Love Buy

Weather aside yesterday was a much needed girly shopping session with three of my bestest friends. Not an awful lot was purchased to be honest; it’s was hard, even with the sales, to justify buying anything vaguely summery when it was pouring rain and freezing cold outside, but it was time well spent…you can’t put a price on good friends.

What did you get up to yesterday?

Daisy Chain Dreaming: Just about Everything at Jules B

07th July 2012
As if going out for a girly shopping trip with friends today wasn’t enough retail therapy, I also spent my morning pursing an often overlooked but firmly on my radar favourite;
Jules B. If I wasn’t below even a Primark sale budget at the moment, this is absolutley where I would be doing my Summer Shopping (although I still have last years new purchases waiting to be worn thanks to the crappy weather). Topping my wishlist right now…

1. Nicole Farhi Leather Strap Wedges; £184.24- saving £150 on original price!

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs pleated silk heart dress; £233.74 reduced from £424.99 (almost makes it a bargain, right?)

3. Katerina Psoma’s ultimate Vintage Elements statement necklace. A worthy investment at £126.74…if I had the pennies this would be mine. LOVE.

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Hillier bag, £349.99. After professing my love for my first Marc by Marc Jacobs earlier today, I can testify that the bags are worth every penny…mine however was a sales purchase at £180!

5. Every blogger and their dog loves these Michael Kors rose gold watches…at £198.99 for the small version, I’m not ashamed to say I WANT ONE!

Let’s hope I picked the right numbers for the lottery tonight eh?
