Hey Babydoll.



T-Shirt - French Connection
Cardigan - American Apparel
Snood - Topshop
Skirt - American Apparel
Tights - Topshop
Shoes - Urban Outfitters

As you can probably tell I'm a bit of a geek. I loved the film Kick Ass so when I saw this t-shirt in French Connection I knew I had to have it. It even came with a little booklet about the film which I thought was a nice touch.

I wore this for a walk around the shops in Leeds. I really wanted to get my eyebrows threaded as everyone says how good it is. I went to Harvey Nicks first but there wasn't anyone at the threading stand plus it was £24! So I had a look at the one in Debenhams but the woman there looked like she wasn't doing a very good job so I just came home and plucked them myself as per usual.

I also went on a hunt for some nice shorts. I saw the most amazing leather shorts in H&M but they only had a size 16 left, boo! I went to River Island as I saw some nicer but more expensive ones on their website. Couldn't see them instore so I tried these instead. They're so lovely and made my waist & legs look so skinny! Unfortunately they made my hips look wide and my bum look flat. I'm still undecided so I may go back for them but I think I would prefer some leather ones. Has anyone seen any nice ones that aren't too expensive recently? Let me knowww!

New Layout & Shoes





I got bored of the green layout, so I decided to redo the layout into a grey and peach colour scheme, which is a fave combo of mine at the moment. I just wanted to post about these amazing shoes I picked up in the sale at French Connection. I was browsing when I saw the most perfect heels reduced from £110 to £55.



I normally hate brown but these were just too gorgeous to pass up. I tried them on and they were so comfy but their height absolutely terrified me! However I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I dragged my boyfriend along to see what he thought. "Very Alexa Chung" was his reply, so I knew I had to get them but I still put it off. I looked at them online where they were only £25 but completely sold out. Eventually it was the last day of the sale and I went in to buy them to find that all the brown had sold out. I'd avoided the black because I prefer black with gold rather than silver but considering they were all that were left and had been reduced down further to £25 like on the website, I got them. They are really comfy, I'll definitely be wearing these to our graduation party, which will probably be the next night out I have.
