Sarenza Sunday- Mirror Mirror Miista

05th May 2013
This week’s obsession is bought to you by super brand Miista who I’ve been a fan of ever since I first heard of.
The Zoe by Miista (£125) is in my eyes the perfect spring flat with it’s pastel perfect mirror shine finish and potential for day and night.
I’m not even sure what else I can say about this shoe other than I love it! I think it’ll be one of those marmite things though, you’ll either get it or you won’t…I’d love to hear what you think

Daisy Chain Dreaming- East of India at Serene Hearts

04th May 2013
£15.99

£14.99

£9.99

£12.99
I don’t often do home ware posts on the blog- I really should do more of them as I love nothing more than a good browse for treasures for my room and the kitchen. Lately I’ve been obsessed with new to me website Serene Hearts how have just started stocking a fabulous selection from one of my favourite brands East of India which I love for their shabby chic inspired and inspiring designs. 
Serene Hearts specialises in vintage style gifts for the home and I know a lot of you out there are fans. Everything is super affordable and I have a wish list ten miles long at present. With Spring finally rearing it’s head I feel a revamp of my bedroom coming along (laugh all you like family and close friends, it WILL happen)
What’s caught your eye? Where do you browse for home ware?

tights and sights

02nd May 2013

Dress: New Look
Tights: c/o Tights Tights Tights
Boots: Miista
How amazing are these cat tights from Tights Tights Tights? I fell in love the very second I saw them, satisfying both my love for cats and for quirky tights. Minus the boots (I opted for flats in the end) this is what I wore for our first day in London thinking they’d be less shocking there than in my sleepy little town…I was kind of right although they did attract their fair share of attention, as pointed out by my amused Mother.
Not brave enough for this kind of stand out style? Tights Tights Tights do more subtle options too in their extensive range of Opaque Tights. 
I don’t think I could wear this kind of thing every day but I had a lot of fun doing so! I’ve finally grown more confident in my clothing choices and depending on my mood I’m less afraid of experimenting a bit. Perhaps that’s what comes with growing up…if it does then I’m all for it!
I couldn’t resist doing the typical tourist thing (well, I was!) in London and posing outside M&M world! Mum and I were too busy having fun to take many photos- the same went for all of my birthday celebrations but this one was a must! 
Back to work today, a nice short week for me followed by a long weekend. I love Birthdays and Bank Holidays!
Do you have plans for the extended weekend?

L the Hero

30th April 2013

Necklace c/o Olly M Jewellery
Jeans from Next
Converse via Sarenza
I’m having a jewellery moment so when Olly M Jewellery got in touch saying they’d like to send me a piece I was super excited especially having seen what they sell on other bloggers (and a lengthy browse on their website). I was sent this initial necklace which is so perfectly my style, it arrived just before my birthday too so it felt like an extra special gift. I’ve already been telling people about Olly M and how I’ll be shopping there for special gifts in the future. They aren’t limited to necklaces either, next on my shopping list is one of the stunning friendship bracelets.
I’ve avoided slogan tees for as long as possible, as soon as I saw this over sized Hero one from Own the Runway I wanted it! I like the bold statement, a bit more serious than “YOLO” or “Geek” that seems to be everywhere at the moment and I love the pastel shade. Perfect for a casual Saturday shopping in Cardiff with my best friend.
I’ve literally just got back from London which was amazing! We travelled up yesterday and explored M&M world (a.k.a. heaven) before heading for dinner and the theatre- if you get the chance to see Mama Mia you really should, such a feel good dance and sing-a-long fest!
Today we did Covent Garden and Oxford street before collapsing in a tired heap on the train home. I did so much walking, talking and shopping it’ll take a while to recover but Mum and I have wanted to do this for years and now was the perfect time. I must spend more time in the Capital, there are so many people I want to meet and things I want to do,
I need to seriously save some cash first though!
What are your favourite things to do in London? Anyone else an M&M world fan?

Sarenza shoe of the week- Mad for Melissa

28th April 2013

It’s my 26th Birthday today so I think I’m allowed to want these Vivienne Westwood Anglomania + Lady Dragon shoes in two colours, right? At £125.70 a pair they aren’t cheap but from what I have heard they are worth the money and they sure look pretty. With the recent summery weather I’m finally thinking it might be time to pack away the boots and bring out the sandals and a pair of these might just have to be added.
Which colour do you prefer?
Seeing as it’s my Birthday I’ve decided to make a few resolutions for the year ahead. Spring seems a much better time to resolve to make positive change right?
1. Gain a bit more weight so I have more energy and really fit my clothes…I’ve come a long, long way in recovery from anorexia but there is still room for improvement and I just want to be the healthiest and happiest version of myself I can possibly be
2. Drink less coffee and more tea…my coffee consumption is getting stupidly bad
3. Live in the moment and not worry about what may or may not lie ahead
4. Learn to take a deep breath, cast fear aside and just get ahead and do what I want to do 
5. Cook and bake more
6. Learn to do something new
7. Explore and have adventures
And now I’m off to eat a birthday breakfast and spend the day with the people who matter most.

P.S.  I’m off to London tomorrow for the night with my Mum, hello theater and shopping! Expect a probable return to daily blogging when I get back as I have a massive list of posts to share and no doubt there will be many more to come.
