a thoroughly english day out..


Bonjour mes amis :)

Yesterday I enjoyed a lovely winters day shopping and coffee shop-ing with my beautiful friend Hebe in Bath.
The air was frosty so I wrapped up warm, channelling my inner animal and donning my leopard print scarf. And I also wore my lovely new Urban Outfitter boots which I talked about a couple of posts ago and they were just a pleasure to spend the day in: warm, comfy and oh-so stylish.

After perusing the clothing selection in a few shops and drooling over the gorgeous choice of high heels and aviator jackets for a couple of hours we hopped, skipped and jumped to a cute little café where, being the fatty that I am, I enjoyed a bowl of pommes frites :).





I am absolutely loving taking photographs at the moment, catching beautiful candid moments and a special point in time in a split second with just one click of a shutter :) ...




[the two photos of me and my chips were taken by hebe]

mmm, those chips were so delicious :)






How cool is that vintage bike! I just need one of those so that I can pretend I drive it :)

On a trip to Topshop I found a gorgeous, chunky floral cardigan in the sale, reduced from 45 pounds to 20 :). I love how warm and cuddly it feels and the big pink flowers on it are just so pretty.
So unable to resist, I put my new purchase on and gallivanted around the streets just waiting for the compliments ...  hehe, just kidding ;).

Cue posy pictures ;)





After a hard day of shopping and posing for photos the best thing to come home to is a slice of vanilla cheesecake and a cup of jasmine tea :). 
So that's what we did.





And yes, I do rather enjoy leafing through the pages of Nigella's cookery books :) hehe.




and finally, a naughty slice of cake before bed, because, you're only young once ;)


lotsa love

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

A Grand Day Out :)

Hey dolls!
I've been a bit absent from blogger this week but I bought some lovely things today and I thought I'd give you a looksee :)
I went into town with some lovely friends and had a real giggle :) and the day was especially lovely because I visited a certain favourite shop: MAC!
I have been wanting to get a lot of things from there but I thought a couple of things would keep me ticking over for a little while. So after browsing the new Venomous Villains range (which is so so cool) I went over to the old faves.
So, here's what I splurged for...

Oh, and THE best thing happened today :D
I was chillin' in the street with my lovely girlies listening to some guys busking when two pretty funky looking peeps rode past on bikes with bags filled with glasses! They were promoting the new Urban Outfitters store that is opening in Bath and were giving away the glasses for...FREE! So, I dug around in the bag and pulled out the pair covered in the most flowers, teehe...
It was an offer I just simply couldn't refuse - so that's the glasses in the picture above ♥ pretty bloomin' funky don't ya think?

I have wanted this for such a long time! I love a good nude lip :) so this is perfect.
Love love love.
M.A.C. cremesheen lipstick in Myth/£12.50

I have a very very very ridiculous amount of blushes and I would probably say that I am even more obsessed with them than I am with lipsticks. And that's really saying something...
I haven't had a MAC blush before and I thought it would be a good idea to add one to my collection and since ninety five percent of my blushes are powder, I went for a cream one.
This a lovely rosy pink with a mauve tone to it :) It's a colour that I don't really have and I can't wait to start using it. It's crazy how pigmented this is, so worth the hefty pricetag methinks.
M.A.C. cream blush in Brit Wit/£16.50

Swatches of the lipstick and blush :)

I don't think it's actually humanely possible for me to go out shopping and not buy a Barry M nail paint - I am obsessed with them! And I don't think I'll rest until I have the whole collection...
So today I got the lovely navy one, with really pretty baby blue reflexes in it. I think this will be a definite staple for A/W.
Barry M nail paint in Navy/£2.95/Boots

So, that's my little haul for now :)

I hope you liked and I would love some comments :)
Also, I would love to hear some tips for starting a MAC collection and if you think there are any MAC must haves that I should purchase?

Hope you're having a lovely weekend ♥

lots of love
