Dapper chap-ess

I absolutely adore brogues, they are the perfect everyday shoe. I quite like the mannish trend and think my new Topshop Monk Shoes would look fab with a pair of smart black tapered trousers and a fancy shirt.

Gola

Loving Chris's new Gola trainers.

Nike X Liberty

These new Nike X Liberty trainers and definitely high up on my lust list right now. I absolutely love Liberty fabrics and have many fond memories of meeting my friend Georgia, nipping into the store and perving on the haberdashery section after work when I was living in London.

 

Gola are also collaborating with Liberty with a range of equally delightful trainers which would be perfect for Summer. Which to choose though!

Where has all the sunshine gone?

The day my lovely new, geeky sandals arrived from Topshop this week, the heavens opened and as I splattered my way from work to the car park, I dreamt of those sunny days which came and went so quickly. I know it will be back, but I wish it would just hurry up.

Loving The Leopard

Over the years it would be fair to say that I've had the odd dalliance with leopard print. One of my favourite pair of summer shoes are leopard print and I'm getting the feeling it is high time I invested in some more pieces. I would love a mid-length, textured jacket, over sized bag and dare i say it, even a pair of trousers! Always wary of the Bet Lynch effect, most of the time I feel that less is probably more.

Black Pointy Shoes

I've been after some mid-heel, black pointy shoes for a while and was very pleased when I came across these on an ASOS browsing session. They are just perfect, a low heel, popper ankle fastening and low (slight toe cleavage showing) pointy toes with a suede effect finish. Perfect for the summer!

Topshop Ankle Boots

Just received these super cute Artreu Ankle Boots from Topshop. They are an Xmas pressie from my sister so need to stay under wraps until Christmas day. Booo!

It's Been A While

I have just had a rather large blogging break and am now realising how much I have missed it!

Over the past few months, I have been to a couple of fantastic festivals; Womad and Hamswell, had some lovely time with friends, been to London to see the Ballgowns exhibition at the V&A, seen my gorgeous nieces, experienced a flood at work, the Bristol Balloon Festival, eaten some yummy food, made some cakes and have found some lovely bits in the shops.

Now, I am settling down to watch Breakfast At Tiffanys and then have sweet dreams about the lovely holiday I have to look forward to in three weeks time!

Ebay Time

I've been busily sorting out the flat and decided to pop quite a few pieces of clothing on ebay to aid in the clear up! I could hardly get to anything in my wardrobe and there is now so much more space. Fingers crossed they all find nice homes. Feel free to have a browse here, highlights below...
