Some research!

MIA

I have been without internet for the last five days! I have just got home and will be back to blogging normal tomorrow.

WEEKEND OFF

Here is my picture of the day. It's of my boyfriend Solomon who was, incidentally only wearing pants on the sunny beach in Caister on Sea. I have decided to keep his modesty though as I am not sure you want to see his bright green boxers! :')

I am back from my 'weekend off' and ready to start blogging again. I have spent the last couple of days planning what I am going to put into this blog and what I need to do to make it the best I can. Feeling rather productive. My camera charger came really quickly I have to add and am a very happy bunny that my Sony NEX 5 now can be used instead of looking like a rather expensive camera shaped paper weight.

BAH

Trying to suppress my rage, the silly ebay shop that I ordered my charger from has sent me the wrong one and now I have to wait until Tuesday for the one that I originally ordered to arrive. BAH.

Wish List #1

Skull Slippers from Zara 24.99 Euros

I love the detail on these, now to see if I can find them in my local store. Wish me luck!

Waiting...

Waiting is one of my least favourite things to do and at the moment I am waiting for quite a few things.
I am waiting for my camera charger to turn up in the post - I can't take any decent quality photographs to post on here until it arrives and it's getting quite frustrating but hey ho, it will get here... eventually. I need to go to the post office and pick up my iphone tomorrow and then go do a few hours at the charity shop and hopefully pick up some goodies. I am also waiting for my father to start building my new room - this is something I am very excited about because currently I am living in a shoebox!

Campbell Clones

I found these on the Mr Shoe website.

I am thinking of ordering these – I really do like them and the price. I for one, think Mr Shoe is completely underrated. The prices for all of the brands they stock are all reasonable. Despite Mr Shoe’s no frills appearance – they have a great variety of what can only be described as ‘all frills’ shoes. I really would recommend that you check out the Mr Shoe Jeffrey Campbell collection – they have a large assortment of colours and some even have studs on them! You can find Mr Shoe collection here.

Strike this off my wish list!

You can buy this skirt here.

I have spent the last few days looking for the perfect pleather skirt and as you can see, I have found a skirt that is very similar to the one that I featured in my top five  Hearts and Bows clothing chart. I will put some pictures of this skirt up when it arrives. Hurry up 2-3 working days!

Not Quite A Glass Slipper

Suedette Chain Slipper £9.99

I really love the colour of these slippers. They are a classic shape and the gold chain detail makes them bang on trend. They are the perfect season cross over from summer to autumn. I would wear them with Topshop Leigh jeans in the aubergine. What do you guys think?

Hearts & Bows Clothing

1. Cream Studded Bralet £26.99 Sizes 8 – 14.

2. Faux Studded Leather Skirt £24.99 Sizes XS – M

3. Studded Black Blazer £44.99 Sizes 8 – 14

4. Light Blue Sleeveless Shirt With Collar Detail £23.99 Sizes 8 – 14

5. Burgundy Cable Knit Cardigan £24.99 Sizes S/M

Here are my five favourite pieces of Hearts & Bows clothing. I don't know about you, but sometimes I am weary to what I call concession brands, the quality can be questionable and you can never really be sure that you have bought something that isn't going to shrink after chucking it in the wash once... Hearts and Bows however, are a concession brand that I can recommend -  the only downfall for anyone south of Norwich, it is hard to find any highstreet store that stocks it but saying that all of you up north are lucky! Anyway, my personal favourite is the Burgundy cardigan, it looks great with so many things and isn't itchy! Let me know if you get anything from the top five and what you think of them!

Moc Martens

You can find these Mock Martens on Ebay for a bargain price of $49.99 USD which is £31.97!

I found these gold studded ‘mock’ martins whilst browsing on what I would argue to be the worlds greatest fashion finding tool – Ebay. My love for ebay knows no bounds, from lost SLR chargers to the latest MAC lipstick shade that has gone out of stock, Ebay is the personal shopper that does not fail to find you what you want. I particularly love these boots as they feature a zip up the side so its saves all that shoe lace faffing that comes with traditional docs. The gold studding makes these boots bang on trend and would look great with a pair of skinny jeans. These are on my wanted list!

Camo Jacket

Hearts and Bows Vintage Army Jacket £29.99

The army jacket seems to be a British summer and autumn staple. I don’t know about you guys, but I am fed up with the rain here in England but this jacket could make your day a little bit brighter! If any of you are heading to any festivals this summer this jacket is a must have! I love the detailing on the collar. The only downside, I must say, is the fact that this jacket is one size only – best fitted to a size to 8 – 12.

Topshop Delivery!

Topshop £8.00

My Topshop delivery has arrived and this is one of the pieces that I am particularly happy with. I love the colour, the fit and because I like things a little bit looser, I decided to get it two sizes too big. It fits in the way that I wanted and I am going to team it with my Topshop denim skater skirt with my creepers and I may buy a black jersey maxi skirt because I think it is a tried and tested combination on the hip pavements of Brick Lane, London. I think these crop tees are a great rival to the very popular bralet cut that has been all over the magazines and the catwalks this season. This cropped tee is a stylish yet simple alternative, for a girl who is less likely to bear all but still wants the overall look.

Jeffrey Campbell

OFFICE Shoes UK

The biggest hype in high heels at the moment are in the Jeffrey Campbell new collection. I have tried all three pairs on today at my local OFFICE store and if I am completely honest I could not justify spending that amount of money on a pair of heels (?!) that would not look right with the majority of my wardrobe. I can report however, they are comfortable to walk in – yes, even Prickly and Nightwalk! They are all beautifully crafted and are presented in Jeffrey Campbell boxes with extra laces and even some extra studs for Prickly. As I tried them on, a little but well known thought came into my mind as I admired my size fives in the shoe level mirrors – what if I can find the same look but without having to splash that amount of cash? Of course I know that nothing feels the same as knowing that you have the pair of shoes that everyone wants but what if you could have them at a third of the pricetag? I will get investigating and let you know!

A bit about me.

Please excuse my use of photobooth for my picture - right now I am having a bad face day and as a firm believer in first impressions here is a photo of me that I don't hate (today).

My name is Amy Webb, I am nineteen and I am from South West London, United Kingdom. I have decided to start this blog to express my love, hate and discoveries revolving clothes, make up and beauty products.  Why you ask? I would like to be a journalist when I finally have to grow up and I really enjoy writing and where else to break into public writing than on the internet.
