CAMO ET LEOPARD

IMG_9874

I seriously cannot believe it’s Christmas in 3 days!!! As you know I got all my shopping out the way early (first week in December), I have yet to wrap it *rolls eyes*; my honey and I finished his yesterday evening, so I’ve yet to wrap his too.

In the midst of my Christmas shopping I picked up a few things for myself; this sweater and jeans are just a couple of them, I love the idea of mixing prints so teamed them with (one of) my leopard print ankle boots. The trench we picked up in a vintage market in Birmingham (he got one too, slightly different and darker than mine). (more…)

NEW BOOTS

My boots came!!! First post with my new boots, that I lurve (BeyoncĂ© voice). As soon as they arrived I threw them on and went to my fabric shop (I was going anyway, didn’t just make a trip to Christen them) and I’ve worn them every day since. Here, I’m wearing them with my grey pencil dress and an oversized sweater. (more…)

FIRST

This is the first fur coat I ever bought, I used to wear it all the time before I got my black one. The fur gets absolutely everywhere, so I put it in a suit cover and left it in the wardrobe. We had a reunion, haven’t seen each other in about 2 years, maybe more! I love her just as much as I did when I first found her. (more…)

LOVE / HATE

These boots were in the bottom of my wardrobe for months, to the point where I forgot I’d even bought them! I ordered them from Zara while doing a spot of online shopping with my Godmother in the summer, from when I made the purchase tip after they arrived I was in two minds about them 60:40 love / hate respectively. She was also in two minds but a similar ratio to me so urged me to buy them, don’t you just love shopping with those kind of people?

The boots are a suede and corduroy/brocade upper with a wedge heel. I’m still kinda in two minds, but at the same time I really love them (is that even possible?), as does my honey. Styling wise I can only see them with greyscale outfits (black & grey) which is perfect for me because I lurve those colours.

Better still I haven’t seen anyone else in them, like at all!!! That either means they’re truly hideous, or people were’t too sure of how they would wear them. I didn’t see them go in the sale though?!?! Anyway if they are that awful, they’ll be my Quasimodo and I their Esmeralda. (more…)

LIPSTICK RED

There really aren’t enough hours in the day/week/month for a busy bee like myself! Ever heard the saying “life get’s in the way…”? Well now I’m truly beginning to understand what that means; I have so much to do, along with so many things that I want to do – in order to take over the world (a la Pinky and the Brain).

Well, I got to have a couple of hours down time today to see my lil God-daughter and new God-son (sooooo cute!!!), got to catch up with one of my best friends over warm waffles and hot chocolate. A  couple of hours bliss; then back to the grindstone. (more…)
