A snapshot #8

001: I finally spent all my birthday money in Oxford Street. I headed straight to Topshop as I usually can't afford to part with my pennies in there. I did want to stay away from Primark as I can afford that usually but couldn't resist buying one dress. It looks like a topshop copy. Wins!

002 - 003: I was very lucky to win a piece of Little Nells. Penny really does make some gorgeous pieces and this Hamsa necklace is no exception. Just look how beautifully it came packaged. Thank you so much :) I already have my eye on this to go with my new white dress in the above picture and this gorgeous cross.

004: It always makes my day when I recieve a postcard through the post from my oldest (nearly 20 years of friendship!!) and dearest friends. She's honestly a star! This time she was travelling around India if you could't tell from the postcard! I don't think there's many places left for her to visit!

005: I went to the local pub for dinner to discuss dates with friends for our summer holidays! Ahh exciting, just need to do some serious saving now! I much prefer having picky bits for dinner than a main meal, one of the reasons that I love Christmas. All those buffets nomnomnom! I admit I did have Lasagne after but i'm starting Weightwatchers next week so I am getting all my favourites in!

006: A little sneak peak of my birthday outfit. I went out for my birthday last night and as a result I am feeling a little sorry for myself! We ended up at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes in Holborn, bit of a drama but i've got a special birthday post lined up. I had a good night, not quite sure i'd want to go there for birthdays as there's not enough dancing was involved for my liking. I'd go back again but just during the daytime. I'm recovering in my owl kigu and having a Harry Potter marathon with the boy. Bliss.

Motel Rocks Spring Lookbook

I recieved the Motel Rocks Spring Lookbook and fell in love with it. Bodycon dresses are not really my thing, if I was a size 8 i'd be all over them. But alas I am not. But playsuits and pencil skirts are! I don't think I would be brave enough to wear the playsuits bare-legged but I would be game with a pair of 150 denier tights! My favourite is the wine coloured lace playsuit. It just looks so girly and is such a pretty colour. I also adore the cut out back on the red playsuit, it will look beautiful with hair up in a topknot to show it off! I am really liking bralets with high waisted pencil skirts at the minute, it seems ladylike but with a bit of a edge. After all I don't want to dress too much beyond my time! The block coloured pencil skirt is a beauty!

All these pretty clothes are making me long for some milder weather, being frozen to the bone is kinda losing it's appeal.

Don't forget if you fancy making a sneaky purchase you can use the discount code at the side of my blog for 15% off :)

Which is your favourite outfit?

Gaga eat your heart out

I think my heart skipped a little when I read about the blogger competition Sarenza was running. The chance to become an ambassador for the brand and receive £150 worth of shoes a month? Count me in! This is my competition entry to win the opportunity of any shoe enthusiast’s lifetime.

To me shoes are all about making a statement. What's the point of blending in? You could have the most basic outfit and add a pair of jazzy shoes and voila. You instantly have an outfit that impresses more than a bloke in a Lamborghini. Yes I have those boring black court shoes that go with everything but I also have dozens of shoes that are so out there I can’t seem to find a single thing in the world to pair them with. Still that doesn’t stop me from pulling them out every now and again to stroke away to my heart’s content.

Now THESE are what you call a statement. They might make me wonder how the hell I would be able to balance once I have had a few glasses of rose but just look at them! Gaga would be drooling into her little cup and saucer! Never have black shoes looked so snazzy! These beauties will help you turn heads for all the right reasons.

In my ideal world I would pair the shoes with this beautiful white midi dress (hopefully making it mine come Wednesday), heaps of gold jewellery and a sleeveless leather jacket. In fact this outfit would be perfect for my birthday outing come Saturday. A girl can dream right?
