Sarenza Sunday- Mad for Miista yet again

14th July 2013

Miista is one of those footwear brands that consistently turns up trumps for me, I can pretty much guarantee there will always be something on sale that I love.
These Palmira Sandals (£120) and new in on Sarenza are no exception. Pastel, girly and utterly gorgeous they have shot straight to the top of my “covet” list. At their current price they will have to wait but should they ever go on sale then I’m there!
I love how one week I’m craving neon hi-tops and the next I’m back to heels or delicate sandals…I guess having quirky shoe tastes helps in some ways but is a nightmare in others (especially when it comes to storage!) It’s hard to believe that in my teenage years I thought owning five pairs of shoes- mostly trainers was excessive!
What is your shoe collection like? Do you have eclectic tastes?

P.S. Happy Birthday to my bestest best friend Trudi- loyal, huggable and recipient of my shoe over spill! Love ya girly.

Asda Holiday Haul

Everyone needs a jar of sweets in their bedroom, fact.

Introducing Tobias, the boy’s cat (who really doesn’t like me much)

My order from Literary Emporium– worth it for the gorgeous packaging alone.

Playing dress up.

Summer slob out gear.

Treated myself to this Anna Lou of London cat necklace.

Yep, still got that Smurfs obsession.

As casual as it gets.

Child at heart but these are awesome.

Mae’s current sleeping place of choice. She can even open my wardrobe and get herself in.

I should write a book on uses for used bus tickets.

Instagram posts- Love or Loathe?
Personally I love them, I’m such a nosy bugger.

help a girl out

Dress c/o Laura Ashley
Sandals: H&M (old)
Confession; I had totally forgot I owned these sandals. It wasn’t until the arrival of my new bed last week and a clear out of my shoes to utilise my new under bed storage that I found them. How I let them pass me by I don’t know, they are the comfiest gladiator style sandals I have ever owned and cost me something stupid like £14.99 three years ago.
I also need to wear this dress more. Sent to me by the lovely folk at Laura Ashley (who have a rather smashing sale on at the moment) it’s one of those dresses that requires bare legs, and given that the weather has only just allowed for that I guess I’ll be living in this for a bit…
It’s only a few weeks until my holiday now and I’m still on the search for some holiday essentials. I’m going for almost a fortnight and I don’t want to take loads of clothes with me as I want to bring lots back! What staples that multi-task would you suggest? So far I’m thinking maxi dresses, denim shorts and a few vests/tees and flip flops…
I’m a rubbish packer, and even more rubbish at packing light so all ideas appreciated.

(window) shopping the sale at Hervia

11th July 2013
It’s Summer Sale season and the perfect oppurtunity to laze in the garden and window shop yourself in to mental bankruptcy;
it’s something I do far too much off and I just don’t seem to be able to break the habit, hence this little wishlist from online designer department store Hervia
My cravings may not be for floaty dresses and strappy sandals but they are quirky pieces at (semi) affordable prices…
Junya Watanabe- £241.00 reduced from £604.00

Holly Fulton- £210.00 reduced from £420.00

Dr Martens x Comme Des Garcons- £108.00  reduced from £270.00

Tom Binns- £24.00 reduced from £60.00
The reductions are amazing as you can see! I’m pretty certain I’m going to end up with those screw earrings. I love that the site sells everything from bags and shoes right through to the finishing touches and having super sales like the current one makes me more likely to return to the site in the future!
What have you snapped up in the sales so far? I have to I haven’t really bought much- some bits from asos of course but that’s about it.
What do you think of the earrings? Should I go for it?

A Wiseman Once Said

10th July 2013

Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Shoes c/o Sarenza
Necklace c/o Georgia Wiseman
How simple yet striking is this necklace from the talented Georgia Wiseman? Since it’s arrival last week I haven’t taken it off- it’s a shame I failed at grabbing a photo of it on!
Georgia is a Scottish based jewellery designer who graduated from Glasgow School of Art. This year she is making a return with a fresh new take on her designs and a move in to fashion jewellery. Her inspiration comes from geometric patterns and I love the clean cut design…check out her website to see more of her work!
This was Friday’s outfit I think, when the weather was nice but not amazing. The dress was an absolute bargain in Dorothy Perkins at £7 from one of their concessions, the bee print gets a lot of comments and I love the lilac colour.
How is this week shaping up for you? I am loving the sunshine and embracing bare legs- something I don’t usually do in this country! Yesterday saw me have a long overdue outside lunch and catch up with best friend and today I am going to lunch with my grandad after work then spending some time with the boy.
What’s your favourite thing to do in this weather?
