Wishlist - Shoes for the Summer

There are a few words that you could say to me to bring an instant smile to my face.  Formula One, Bagpuss, Adam Levine, shoes.....

Every woman loves shoes, I think it may be part of our DNA.  When buying shoes for the summer I try to look for pairs that will go with multiple outfits and also can carry you through from day to evening for those Summer's days outs.

Here are my favourites:

1.  Sporty Black Wedges £36.00

Wedges and not too high, ideal to take you from shorts to a maxi dress

2.  Leopard Print Lace-Ups  £24.00

Comfortable and with a cool print to add a pop of colour to your day time outfit

3.  Tan Block Heels £40.00

Ideal shoe to go with most evening dresses from short to maxi

4.  Espadrille Sandals £25.00

If you have had a long day sightseeing, these lovelies will still look good with a dress at the end of the day

5. Sparkle Ballerinas £28.00

What girl doesn't need a pair of ballerinas?

So those are my favourite shoes for the Summer season, what are yours?

Battle Royale - Me versus the Weather

Dear Weather,

We have had our differences you and I over the years.  Many battles have been fought and lost between us.

 

You produced snow and ice, I counteracted with ice cleats.  You blew gale force winds, I found hair styles that would stay in place, or hats to cover them.  You dropped the temperature to below freezing, I piled on the scarves, gloves and stylish, where possible, warm clothing.

 

Today though, I admit defeat.  I've had it.  The season turns to Summer next week and yet there is still snow on the ground, it's freezing cold and icy winds are all around. 

 

The game of fashion versus the weather has been playing now for so long that I can barely remember wearing sandals.  The thought of going outside without hat, scarf, gloves, warm coat and multiple layers is completely foreign to me.

 

You have beaten me down to the point I have reached today which is having straw like hair which looks like I did battle with a hedge, wearing ugly pants that look horrendous on my ass and dry skin on my face which no amount of foundation seems to be fixing.

 

You have RUINED me.

 

So here I am weather saying "Well done, you have won.  You are the more superior and you cannot be beaten."

 

Now please, pretty please, can you bring back us back warmth and sunshine?

Love

Vicky

Polka Polka Polka Dot

Over the past few weeks I have been lusting over this dress.  A polka dot dress with a pussybow neckline and pleated skirt – there is nothing I don’t like about that sentence.

After waiting a few weeks till payday and allowing myself a little treat, I finally got my hands on it and here it is!

I’ve just had a quick try on for now but when styling it properly I will no doubt be playing around with accessories. I have a lovely pair of red shoes that will look fabulous and no doubt a little cardy will be coming in somewhere.

The very day that we have nice weather, this dress is coming out to play!

Have you had your eye on a must have dress lately?
