Autumn cleaning


Its that time of year again, time to dig out those jumpers, boots and general winter clothes now that the colder months have arrived.  The weather hasn't been too bad yet, but I can honestly say rain, rain, go away . . .

I'm finally packing away my summer clothes and swapping them with the winter items I've had stored away in the attic.  I've discovered that I might be able to meet a trend for this year with a faux-fur gilet I bought in San Fransisco in 2004.  Its a bit bulky as its a reversible jacket, so I'm going to be a bit creative and re-tailor the jacket to change the lining, de-bulk it.  I also realise that I resort to Marl Grey tops and jumpers as a wardrobe staple, I think I'd need to mix them in with something bright. 

I've also established how many shoes I have in my collection; this includes shoes, boots, flats and flip flops . . .  The result is 46 pairs, some dating back around five years ago.  I'm not sure if this is too much or too little, whether I should rename my blog I don't have enough shoes!  Not that I always need an excuse to buy more.

there's nothing wrong with having too many pairs of shoes! I keep mine in boxes under my bed and in my wardrobe! I'm always buying them! I find the best ones on eBay! :) x

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

Image
As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
