And so the shoe addiction continues...

I don't like going this long between my blogs, especially when such lovely people have been taking the time to read and comment on my posts. But I'm seriously swamped in school work (which I say all the time!) Even though my school work tends to include setting it all up around me and then getting sidetracked by watching TV online or blogging...But I'm definitely trying to keep on top of it all since the start of the new term. 
So i have to admit, it happened again, i brought new shoes, I know i should stop, it's getting ridiculous, but i figured they were too beautiful to miss out on! My respectable excuse was the zip on the back of my old heels keeps coming undone when i walk, meaning i twist my ankles, but then i realised, who needs an excuse to go shoe shopping?! They are wedges, which means they are amazingly comfortable and just generally beautiful. Although i haven't had a chance to wear them out yet because of the miserable weather and suede and rain definitely do not blend well.

The mess I call my life...
They might be my new favourite pair...

This is also the new shirt I brought in a lovely charity shop near my college the other day, it's on of the really thick warm ones i have always wanted. Love and stuff x

Shoe lust...

Topshop
Hope everybody had a good Christmas! I'm straight back online lusting over some beautiful shoes i have been eyeing up for a while... Firstly we have the top shop boots, which i have just discovered are on sale which only makes my love grow stronger. They have a platform front which means they can be higher and still comfy with a fleece top which is just generally beautiful and seeing as they are high boots it means it's far less likely my far too flexible ankles are going to turn over and break whilst walking in them. They are just generally so beautiful, and i think i need them. 
River island 
Tesco

Secondly, from river island, suede lace up desert boots. I really like desert boots, and I've been contemplating buying some for a while, but I wasn't sure about them, and then I discovered the heel versions, which are absolutely amazing. I always swore that wedges were hideous, but then I met these and changed my mind. They look adorable and so comfy, they can be casual or dressed up. Although I'm definitely not sure about these particular ones, is the heel and suede contrasting too much? I'm not sure... But i will definitely be keeping my eyes on these in the future. Thirdly, and lastly I've spotted another pair of suede lace ups, but this time from tesco( there is nothing wrong with clothes shopping in tesco). In a way it kind of mixes the two previous shoes, as they are wedged boots. The more I look at them in fact the more I like them; although I would wear the top bit folded down rather than up like it is in the picture.
So many shoes so little money...Love and stuff x

Socks...And heels?!


It sounds wrong, but give it a chance... Its not like socks and sandles, which i agree is completely wrong, but somehow having the heel just makes it so much better, it's cute! Granted, it probably has to be a certain type of shoes and socks for it to work...But i find that my beautiful black heels from Newlook and creame socks with frills just work. I'm not sure if court shoes that have no front would work, but i haven't tried it, so i'm not sure. And the thing is i wear my socks and heals over fishnets, which mixes two trends in one(and keeps my feet warm!) It's edgy, but cute at the same time and you can mix it up depending on what socks you wear, patterned socks with black dress and black heels, so fun! I'm currently part way through my lovely five day weekend, thankyou snow! I'm not sure how well the hoodie works with the socks and heels, but it is cold and i was too eager to go and play in the snow than look for a nice dress that could look cute with it. Love and stuff x

Dr Martens...

I haven't got round to taking my own picture
so here's one off the ol' google images. 
It's not as bad as it seems, i haven't brought yet another pair of shoes! (Well, technically i have...) After one day wearing my lovely patch work brogues i wrote about a while ago the patchwork ripped and my lovely shoes were no longer. As much as i would have loved to replace them with the same pair i decided against it...Another pair of Dr Martens anyone? I think so! I was going to go for some classic 'mod' oxblood red 12 holes, but i decided against it when i saw them in the shop, they just looked too clumpy and I'm only short so they would have come up uncharacteristically high... However the 8 hole brown ones i found with wool inside were ridiculously beautiful, and practical with the wool inside! I now have two pairs of D.M's, one 8 whole pink pair which lasted me about three years but are now gradually falling apart and my lovely new additions. Granted, they're pretty pricey, roughly £75, but they last for such a long time, it's defiantly worth it, especially considering all the lovely new colours they come in and like converse they look better with time.  I would like a pair in every colour please, then i can colour co-ordinate my whole outfit(Not that i have ever bothered doing that before..) And here they are, marvel at the in all there glory. Love and stuff x

Beautiful, beautiful brogues...

I would like to formally welcome my beautiful new brogues to my excessive shoe collection... Brown with patch work roses, the perfect combination of masculine and feminine. Granted i probably didn't need a new pair of shoes (on a rough count I'm going with having at least 16 pairs) but they were just too beautiful to resist; walking around in them today every time i looked down a fell a little bit more in love. Besides brogues are a classic and they can look formal and go with practically everything!
On a different subject entirely, i feel the need to tell you about my Friday night out in Essex. As it turns out it is the place to be if you want to end the night watching your brother in the back of a police car being driven back to tesco's where you had gone to feed his ridiculous appetite on the way back from the pub when some abusive 14 year olds had attempted and failed at starting a fight, ending with them telling the police your brother had 'slapped' them...Fun night all round.
Love and stuff x
