Bad Blogger

I haven't blogged in a while, MY BAD! :(
Mainly because I'm trying to be good and not buy too much stuff, but I have bought a few bits :/ OOPS!
First these BEAUTIFUL Topshop shoes I've been lusting after for ageeesssss. They were £65, but I had some money off my Nan for graduating so I thought I'd treat myself, as I haven't stopped banging on about them for agessssss!



I also got these few bargains in the Limited Collection sale (again!) These jeans are amazing, I absolutely adore them and they're a brilliant fit, which I normally struggle to find. The tie dye is so 90s (£12!) <3

I also picked up these fab shorts, I love the colour blocking and the fit is lovely as they're so wide so they make my legs look skinnnnyyyy. AND I got these for a FIVER!

And finally this beautiful skirt, its so stunning (although I'm not sure I'm ever gonna have a good enough excuse to wear it, as it's really very dressy, but pretty all the same, I think this was £9, so really one wear is enough ;) prettyful!



So yeah, not been up to much, but needed to jump back on the wagon before I gave up entirely. My wishlist is getting pretty big right now, so that'll probably be my next post. Then I promise to start doing some OOTDs (as I finally found the lead to my camera that my Mom swore she never had) YAYYYY :)

Shoe Porn

OK, so anyone who knows me will by now know that I am a massive SHOE ADDICT.
I cannot get enough, flats, boots, heels, sandals, anything <3
(It has also given me my two biggest fashion hates.... Ugg boots- urghhhh and Kitten heels- double urrggghhhh)
But this post I will dedicate to my favourites, my heels :) I had a small clear out a month or so ago so it's slightly shrunk right now, ready for new summer editions. This is all of them in their glory....

And now a few of my best on their own, because they deserve it :)

This gorgeous pair are from Topshop a while back. After I got these they started popping up everywhere but these were the original, and one of my favourite pairs ever!

I got these from Dorothy Perkins in the sale last summer, for something like £20. Bargain. I love wearing them with summer dress and even with socks and skirts. They're also really comfortable 'cos they're so chunky.

These are definitely one of the most beautiful pairs I own (and one of the most uncomfortable!) I'd wanted them all Summer, and finally managed to pick them up at a Kurt Geiger outlet store for £59 instead of £140. Among the best bargains ever, i'll treasure these Carvela beauts for a long time.

I got these sexy heels from New Look, for about £25? and I adore them! New Look shoes really are hard to beat, mainly cos they're great for the price, but these are truly gorgeous, they look just like cherry drops :) And for the heel height, they're actually really comfortable and easy to walk in.

My first pair of Carvela's bought for me for my 21st by my fabulous boyfriend <3 They're so classic and I will keep them forever! (and mega comfortable!)

Now I know these are totally wrecked and minging but I can't help but love them! Another New Look pair, about £20. I've had them ages and I wear them allllll the time on nights on, they really are like wearing slippers (well,almost!) I dread to think what they've been through (and in) but that just makes them even more special <3

These beauty's are from River Island, in the sale, yearrrrs ago! I admit I dont wear them all that often 'cos they dont really go with much (and they rub a bit :/) but I still love them, and they're worthy of a photo :)

ANOTHER New Look pair, similar to the burgundy, but in a gorgeous rusty orange colour that I love. Can't go wrong for the price, they're amazing.

You can't really go far wrong in Summer with a pair of Nude cork shoes can you? I got these in the Next sale for a tiny £15 and they're so perfect for pretty much any summery outfits. And being from Next, they're pretty darn comfy, pass me the Pimms.

And finally, how could I do a shoe post without mentioning my beloved Leopard Print shoe boots?! Again, New Look, cheap as chips (actually another gift from the bf) and so perfect. If I could wear them every day I would. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

YAY SHOESSSSSSS! <3

Studded Love

Hi again!
Just a quick post to show off my latest handywork!
I've been desperate for a studded bag for agggesss! I like this one from River Island but at a very big £150, it's just too much for my poor purse. SO I MADE MY OWN :)

I got the bag from my auntie, but it was just a very plain soft black handbag. You could probably pick one up from Primark or a charity shop for a few £££s. I got the studs from eBay, they were really cheap and very easy to use, but did take a while to arrive (from Hong Kong I think) so if you're in a rush I'm sure there are some from UK sellers for not much more that will reach you quicker! I might still add a few sew on gems yet, but I'll wait and see, I'm very happy with it so I don't wanna ruin it!
I've already had a couple of friends (Clare and Duttski- check out their blogs and youtube channel!) that want one next, so watch this space, there might be a few more coming soon!

January Blues?

January's nearly over, Thank GOD. Once February arrives we can start looking forward to a bit more daylight and, with any luck, some slightly warmer weather! But there are a few lovely things that January has bought, mainly in the form of beautiful clothes, shoes and jewellery! (Even after the christmas gifts, and first lot of sales bargains...) :)

River Island Skirt- £20 loving the good ol' midi pencil skirt, + leopard print = Jess HEAVEN.

Next wedges- £18 (sale) gorgeous! plus Next shoes are SO comfortable!

Oasis ring- £3 (sale) fake YSL arty for just 3 quid :) can't complain!

Primark shirt- £10 LOVEEEE!

Primark rosary beads- £1 (sale) bargain, even if it will break the first time I wear it!

Primark jumper- £12 wanted one from Topshop, but this is farrrr cheaper, and actually much softer! Its more peachy than it looks on the photo too.

Topshop 'Peace' bra top- £12 will have to wait for the weather to warm up a bit first! But I LOVEEE it!

Topshop shoes- £28 beyond perfect <3

Topshop shorts- £20 (sale) wanted these for FOREVER, and then BOOM, last pair, my size, £14 cheaper than full price. This can only be described as fate :)

Topman Rihanna top- £10 (sale) again, I've been banging on about this for a very long time! I've cut the sleeves off so its now a festival worthy vest. Roll on Summer!

Also, I thought I'd share with you the outfit I'm planning to wear for my Graduation ceremony next week (even though I finished uni last June....) The dress is from River Island (£30) and it came with the gorgeous leopard print belt. Im going to wear pretty sensible looking leopard print peep toe court shoes with it (to minimise the chance of falling over!) Sophisticated yet still very me :) Hope you like it! I'll post some photos of the day when it arrives :)
