Dream shoes

I have been thinking and decided that from this freelance contract I want to buy something special. I finally want to own my first piece of designer that I have paid with using my own hard earned pennies. I am not the best saver so the Mulberry Bayswater is out of the question at the minute, i'd rather go on holiday 5 times this year to be honest. I have decided on a pair of Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragons. Ideally the red below is my ideal pair but they are out of stock in my size so they may just be a distant dream.

Red Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vi - £123.50

Pink glitter Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vi - £123.50

Pink Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Lady Dragon Vii Sp Ad- £143.70

Hopefully by the end of May a pair of these beauties will be mine.

Do you own any Vivienne Westwood or Melissa shoes?

Don't you know i'd chop a limb off just to have a good time

Outfit:

Seaside print blue dress: Primark

Chunky cream cardigan: C/O Joe Browns

Grey tights: Primark

Grey pumps: Primark

Nail: OPI Strawberry Margarita and No7

Pearl and diamond ring: 21st Birthday gift

Not perhaps the most wintery looking outfit but surprisingly warm with my massive faux fur coat thrown on. This is one of my favourite dresses, I adore the print and colours. A bargain at £12 back when Primark used to be dirt cheap. Think it's from a few seasons ago. I tried an accent nail manicure today and really like the two colours together even if my mum thought I was mad having one nail a different colour. After looking at these photos I am not quite sure my legs are ready for coloured tights, look a bit of a chunky monkey haha! Ah well hopefully if I stick to my diet I shall be half a stone lighter by the end of the month. Wishful thinking!

If you follow me on Twitter you'll already have heard my amazing news. I have been offered a six month freelance paid journalism contract at the company where i'm currently interning! Someone actually believes in me to pay me for my writing! I am completely over the moon and in shock that I will actually be a proper journalist and no longer an intern. Fingers crossed i'll impress and there is the work there for the contract to be extended when it finishes in July. I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to buy and places I want to go. Hopefully this will start with a visit to Aberdeen to see a friend in March! It will be so nice not to be skint for a little while and know I have at least six months worth of money.

I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings

Outfit:

Black faux fur coat: C/O Motel Rocks

Aran chunky knit jumper: Topshop via eBay

Wine coloured skinny jeans: Primark

Brown fleece lined ankle boots: Topshop

Gold coloured ball necklace: Topshop

This coat makes me look about a hundred times bigger than I actually am but it makes me so warm and cosy that i'm not bothered. It really has be worn to death and without a doubt my all favourite thing I have ever been given.

Wore this today to run some errands in town mostly to the Post Office. I needed to be warm walking home from town! Sold £38 worth of things on ebay yesterday, just a shame it's all going on travel to work! Anyone else dread the Post Office? It just seems to take forever and everyone always make a fuss if you have lots of things to post. Isn't that what it's for?

Not really much planned for tonight thanks to a distinct lack of funds. I've got a cosy night in selling my life on eBay. Ahhh the joys of being young!

Do you all have a exciting weekend ahead?
