  • Oh my - went into Evans and discovered some of their recent EEE fitting shoes. I was totally in love with a pair of red suede/leather strappy platforms. They fitted so perfectly...but I would have been wearing them in A&E within 10 minutes if I had bought them. So I bought the patent red pumps for £18 instead. Wore them with indigo bootlegs with gold embroidery, a gold mid thigh knitted scoop neck tunic and mid size gold hoops. Put hair up with combs, and went with the usual pale eyeshadow, liner and red lippie.

    Felt good all day, and had someone ask where I got my shoes from - I haven't ever had red shoes before - I may branch out into different colours as a result!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    esme - ouch! How did you manage that?

    Is no-one else dressed today? First post of the day to me then. Sorry not to be more interestingly outfitted:

    Jeans, long line green vest top, long line oatmeal boyfriend cardi, trainers, moonstone earrings and hair in a messy ponytail and yesterday's eyemakeup (while I know it's not advised to leave it on overnight, it looks fab, all smudged and smoky!)

    Hola all. I'm going to see Coco Before Chanel tonight so have dressed appropriately (bearing in mind I am at work too!):

    Dark straight leg jeans (River Island via eBay, £12)
    Black and white striped vest with flamingo motif (Matalan, £8)
    Black cotton blazer (American Apparel, £20)
    Brown suede pumps with gold detail
    Eiffel Tower necklace (handmade)
    Nameplate necklace
    Gold bangle
    Red patent quilted bag with chain handles (2.55 Chanel... Only kidding! Matalan, £8)
    A slick and flick of black eyeliner and red lipstick in my bag for later.

    Ok, so I'm a complete phoney with no real designer pieces, but I quite look the part! Not sure Coco would approve of the flamingoes though! :)

    Hi ladies (& gents),

    Esme - oh no! Hope you're feeling better soon.

    I've been MIA for a while as I found out I was pregnant (11 weeks today, woo hoo!) and went into a bit of shock!! I'm now back in the land of the living and finding ways to look stylish without looking like I just ate 10 McDonalds!!

    Right now I'm wearing gym year (some lovely chavvy jogging bottoms & a light blue Nike T) as I'm heading out to the gym when I stop farting about on the internet. After the gym I'll be wearing:
    Grey skinny jeans
    Oversized white T with a massive skull print
    Red boyfriend cardi (£6 in the Tesco sale last week - it's lovely)
    Black pumps with stud detailing

    Hope the sun's shining for you all, it's a gorgeous day here, might even indulge in an outdoor swim later!

    :)

    GrammarGirl - would you mind reporting back on the film tomorrow? I'd like to see it but haven't seen/heard any reviews yet.

    Congrats gymfiend!
  • Congratulations gymfiend!

    Hope you feel better soon esme!

    I'm in the office again today and my outfit is:

    - Purple V neck cardigan with three quarter sleeves (Next)
    - White scoop neck T shirt (Dorothy Perkins)
    - White and purple striped skirt (Topshop)
    - White ballet pumps (Primark)

    In work until five, then gymming and home to do laundry before going off to London on Friday and some more job applications (will they ever end?!)

    Hope everyone's having a good day :)
