it's a healthy obsession, i promise..

Shoes are fast becoming my biggest love and I spend, and I ashamed to admit it, too much time venturing around clothing stores sites on the internet lusting after them, forever 'adding to my basket' (when I know I'm never really going to 'proceed to checkout') or 'put on my wishlist' or just stare longingly at their picture, imaging myself strutting down in the street in them.

So, I thought I would find four, yes just four, pairs - one from each of my favourite shops and start to save up for them, one pound by shiny pound at a time :)

Peeptoe leather laceup heels / New Look / 25.00

I love these, the wooden heel is so cute and these would be fab to wear shopping (as if I'm actually daring enough to do that). I am really loving boot/heel styles and these are so perfect for autumn and winter. And not a bad price... hmm. Daddy?

Wedge heel leather style boot / H&M / 29.99

Urmmm yes please. I just bought a pair of boots very similar to this, but they are flat. These are just perfect for the days when I want to be taller and am feeling daring.

And they're in brown and grey. My two favourite colours! Is that a good enough excuse? ;)

Suede lace-up ankle boot / Urban Outfitters / reduced from 60 to 40

I think these are my favourite of the four :). The colour is beautiful and just everything about them is cool and sophisticated and oozes style. More saving involved for these lovelies though.

TINSEL glitter hi tops / Topshop / $50 (which coverts to £30 although I'm not sure that's the UK price)

You may not know this but I absolutely love to dance. It's one of my biggest passions and just makes me happy. So when I saw these really cute hi tops I just died. I dance hip-hop and these just scream out street style, AND they're glittery - i mean, wow?!

Want, want, want.

Oh, and did I mention - they're glittery?!

Which of these gorgeous pairs of heaven do you like the best?

And does anyone else have an obsession with shoes?

lotsa love

Yes please ;)

Hello sweetys!

As I have said, many times before, I love Autumn/Winter.

So much.

So, here is a quick run down of the five things which I think are essential to survive the trend :)

I hope you enjoy!

Fingerless studded leather gloves/New Look/£8

I have always had a bit of a thing for fingerless gloves, but instead of the usual woolen ones I think I'll go for some leather.

These are so cute and the colour is gorgeous. Also lovin' the studs - I think these are just a bit different. And only £8 a pop :)

Skinny leather plaited belts/New Look/£5

Anyone who knows me will know that every, and I mean every, outfit I put on has to be, if it's possible (and quite often when it's not possible) 'cinched in at the waist'. Yes, I love belting things. So for autumn/winter a good belt is essential. I'm loving skinny ones at the moment over big baggy shirts and tops (see last post) and the plait pattern gives them a bit of extra 'kerching' ;D

Buckled Clog Boots/Topshop/£150

I LOVE THESE BOOTS SO MUCH. The dark brown is so so gorgeous and the heel is just amazing, I would love to strut down the street in these (without falling over, of course ;).) They are, admittedly, a little out of my price range.

But surely, daddy, these are an essential item?! ;)

Hinge front bag/Topshop/£45

I think a simple, classic black bag is an essential for this season. I adore the slouchiness of this bag and well, just lurve it :D

MAC lipsticks in Myth and Impassioned/£12.50 each

I love a nude lip therefore I need Myth - such a gorgeous creamy pinkish nude which will be perfect teemed with neutrals and warm beiges.

I think winter is the time to go a little daring and Impassioned is perfect for this, a gorgeous bright pink that will look fab with dark greys and navy.

So that's the end of my little post for today :)

What things are you lusting after for this new season?

I spend too much money...HAUL

Hey everybody! ♥

So I went shopping, again... with my lovely friend hebeflora and I got some reeeally nice stuff :)

So I really hope you enjoy this post and don't forget to comment and follow!

everything :)

No.7 Shine Free Primer - 'Stops shine for a matte finish'

So, I had another £5 off voucher and have been lusting after a primer for ages. I wanted a moisturising one rather than a gel and this one is so smooth and makes my skin so so soft. And seems to really mattify. I really like this. It usually retails at £10.75, but I paid £5.75 - yay :D.

this primer is so silky and great to apply. I recommend, a lot.

The next two products are my favourites :)

If you have read a recent post of mine called 'currently lusting after' then you would know that I really wanted this cream blush from MeMeMe. So I was completely set on getting that one, but when I found it, it was really small, I mean literally tiny and I just kinda thought, OH. So I decided that it wasn't for me :( But then Hebe said I should look at the Topshop cream blushes and I thought, why not. So I did. And I loved them! This one is called 'Flush' and is a really lovely bright pink and the formula seemed really nice and creamy. Also, I adore the packaging, I think it's so unique and quirky. The cream blush was £6 - one of the more reasonably priced items from Topshop's makeup range.

I also got, to go with the blusher, this amazing brush from the QVS line at Superdrug. I thought it would be great for cream products and I can't wait to use the two together. This brush is so so soft, ah it's incredible! And that was £6.99 :)

Love love loveeee.

I also got this eye pencil from H&M, I've always been slightly sceptical about their make up but I thought you couldn't really go wrong with one of these. And...I was right! I actually really like this product, it's quite creamy and applies really nicely. It's a really pretty shimmery browny-grey with lilac undertones and would look lovely in the evening for when I go on holiday. And it was only £1.99 - what's not to like? ;)

a swatch of the eye pencil - sorry for the bad quality photo.

The last thing on my haul is this lipstick. It's from Miss Sporty, a brand I don't normally buy from and it quite an unusual colour - purple. The formulation is very sheer which I actually really like and it comes out quite pinky-purple and I think it looks really funky. And it was only £2.49.

So, that's my haul finished! What do you think of my new things? :)

Have any of you bought these things recently?

Or anything to recommend?

Hope you enjoying the rain, NOT :(

lots of blog lurve.

things I'm currently lusting after...

I'm always always always lusting after many things, here are the top five at the moment...

MeMeMe Cheek-E Blusher in Peach-E, £4.99

I have heard goooood things about this cream blush and it looks like a lovely summery peachy pink for my holiday in Mallorca in a few days time, just gotta go out and buy it first...

You Rebel Lite tinted moisturiser - Benefit, £21.50.

I had this applied during a make over and instantly fell in love.

Sadly I'm not sure I can splash out for it. Christmas methinks?

models own powder blush in warm glow - Boots, £5.

Do you really need another peach coloured blusher? I hear you say.

Well the answer is: Don't be silly, of course! ;)

Gosh lipstick in Darling - Boots, £6.

love, love, love it ♥ nuff said.

Long, voluminous hair, priceless.

I have, since I can remember, wanted long hair. But being the idiot I am, I keep going to the hairdressers and getting it cut short, something just takes over me when I walk in a salon. But I am determined to grow mine now. And I will have hair like Cheryl Cole by the end of 2011. I will.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

haul: Boots & Superdrug

hey beautiful people :)

I went shopping today with a couple of mates and went absolutely crazy :) I got loads!

I had a 'free makeup lesson' at the Benefit counter in Boots and had a makeover - which was so fun :) I would really recommend booking one, they're free and the products really are gorgeous, I couldn't buy this (as it was too expensive), but the girl used 'You Rebel Lite - tinted moisturiser' on me and it was amazing - I am definitely lusting after that ;)

So yeah, let's get on with the haul...

all the products :)

Stuff from 17 at Boots.

At my makeup lesson at Benefit the girl gave me a really pretty purple eye - so since I can't really afford Benefit I went to 17 and tried to recreate the look for less money ;)

-x2 eyeshadows in Regal (the navy blue) and Punky Purple - £3.49 each

At the moment they have an offer where if you spend more than £6 you get a free Bronzing Summer Glow kit which includes -

-1x Mirror Shine lipstick in Sugar Daddy

-2x Eyeshadows in Ivory Coast and Statuesque

-1x Instant glow bronzing powder in medium

-1x Bronzing brush & 1x eye applicator

I never really use these free gift things but I thought this was quite generous for only spending 6 pounds - a nice thing to have in the draw :)

-beautyuk eye shadow and eye liner collection 1

This is their new palette and looks quite cool, I was going for bright colours and this looked perfect :) - £3.99

I had two of the £5 off vounchers for No.7 and Ruby and Mille cosmetics so went to look :)

I have always liked the look of their eyebrow pencils and needed a base for eyeshadow so these two things were perfect :D

I bought

-Beautiful brows pencil in 10 brown/black - RRP £7.25, I paid £2.25 :)

-Stay Perfect Smoothing and Brightening eye base - RRP £7.50, I paid £2.50 :)

Stuff from 2true at Superdrug.

They always have a 3 things for £5 offer here so I got

-True Colour Blusher in Shade No. 3 (I plan to use this as a bronzer)

-Eyeshadow Dazzler in No. 9 (you can't really see this - it's a lovely bright, royal-type blue)

-Gloss-wear Lipstick in Shade 7

Stuff from Natural Collection at Boots.

I have a lot of neutral eyeshadows and not many pinks so I went for these to be different :)

They also always have a 3 products for £5 offer

-Duo Eyeshadow in Frost Shimmer/Aqua Shimmer

-x2 Single Eyeshadows in Candy Floss (the brighter one) and Soft Pink

AAAH I'm so excited about this ♥ it's absolutely gorgeous!

When I had my makeover the girl used this on me and I instantly fell in love with it :) the colour is so so pretty and ahh, it's just fab ;D

-Coralista Blush - £23.50

Luckily, I didn't have to fork out the money for this - I had a £25 boots card for my birthday so I could get this and I'm so glad I did! CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT ♥

well, that's the end of this haul.

I'm going to Primark tomorrow with my Mum and I will just tell you what I plan to buy so I don't have to do another haul :) I will be getting the foundation/concealer brush and the Kabuki brush so I might do a review of them soon!

But that's all for now :D

Hope you enjoy this post and happy thursday!

lotsa love xoxo
