New shoes

I have been very naughty recently- four new pairs of heels in two weeks can't really be justified especially when I don't have many occasions to wear them! But in my defense these weren't expensive. 

Far left pairs - Primark £12 

Blue ones - Office £58

Far right - ebay £13.41 

These Primark ones are absolutely stunning! I've seen so many shoes in this style about at the moment in River Island, ASOS, Topshop. Office etc, but these ones were only £12! An absolute steal. So naturally I got two colours. The red pair look really pale in the photos but they are a bright bright lipstick red/coral. These are actually really comfortable and easy to walk in because of the straps.

The blue ones were my last staff discount purchase from Office *sob* I got 45% off these so they were pretty cheap. They are made from the most gorgeous electric blue suede and lined with leather so super comfy and sort of mold to your feet. I think they are such a statement shoe and I never thought I would, but I love the pointy toe. 

The last pair are a bit of a wild card but I fell in love with the 'bis un bout' Louboutins worn by Kim K, Rihanna etc and these were a very cheap knock off from China. These are a lot lower than the 5 inch Louboutins and I don't like the patent toe caps as much as the suede of the Louboutins, but for just over a tenner I can't really complain. If you buy these maybe go a size up because I'm a 3-4 and I got a 4 and they are tiny!!

I think it's crazy how much my style has changed over the last few years. I used to be only interested in heels that were about 6 inches high with a huge platform. The times I have fallen flat on my face/ended up going barefoot and getting stuck to night club floors/getting glass embedded in my feet, it just isn't worth it! 

Anyway I hope you like the shoes I got! Have you seen those in Primark? Definitely grab them if you do! Hopefully I will do a post soon of how I style some of these babies.

DIY simple gold chain necklace inspired by Maja Ravn

Hello!
Long time no post! I just logged on and realised that I have nearly 4000 page views and my blog's been viewed in Canada, India, Netherlands and lots of other countries. That absolutely blows my mind! 
So now I'm on half term holidays (the perks of working in a school), I thought I would do lots more posts. 

Firstly I was inspired by one of my favourite bloggers Maja Ravn who bought these lovely gold necklaces. 
(Photos are all from her blog, find them here)

I loved the simplicity of these, and I wear a lot of gold jewellery which sometimes can look a bit OTT and take over the outfit. But these looked really elegant and simple, so I thought I'd give it a go and make my own!

Now Majas' are two separate necklaces of different weights, but I could see these beginning to tangle up, so I used  two identical gold chains that I already had. I removed the clasp and jump rings from one chain and cut it slightly shorter, so it would hang higher on the neck than the other chain. I then opened up the jump rings from the other chain and added the shorter chain; so i had the ends of two chains in one jump ring, which then was attached to the clasp, to make one necklace, (if that makes sense). 

Anyway I'm really happy with it and I've worn it lots! I especially like how the chain I used is a really sparkly chain so it really catches the light and makes it more eyecatching. 

Let me know what you think and if you think I should include step by step photos of how I make things. I do intend to I just always end up getting carried away and making things then forget I could have blogged about it!

Thanks for reading and hope you are enjoying the bank holiday sun :)
