In These Heels

Archive for November, 2009

Well, I wont be late any more when I get this beauty through my letterbox!

Just like the White Rabbit in Alice In Wonderland, I have just bought myself a pocket watch, from one of my most favourite websites in the whole world, Love Hearts and Crosses! I was very lucky to get one, as both the gold and silver all all sold out! It was a bargain at £18.

Did you hear that noise?  It was the sound of my heart breaking.

Jimmy Choo have decided with H&M that Northern Ireland stores are not going to stock one, if not THE most eagerly awaited designer high street collaborations of all time.  The Jimmy Choo @ H&M shoe and clothing range.

GUTTED doesn’t come near.

I hadn’t actually planned for all my posts today to be about Christmas, but I guess that its hard to escape from at this time of year, and for the next 43 days too(OMG!!). So here are the things I would love to get from Santa

From Accessorize firstly, these super cute warm earmuffs £16

And again from Accessorize a fabulous necklace £14

The final item from Accessorize is this amazing hairband £14

Moving websites to ASOS now, this dress I already have in black, but its simply divine, so the purple version would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe! Dress £38

Now sold out from ASOS is this, I’m honestly gutted, as I wanted to make it a statement piece I wore regularly.  Devastated.

I will have to make do with this feather hairband from Oasis @ASOS £16

For those days when I am in a silly mood (which some weeks out number the normal days…) I would need this Moustache Necklace, from Etsy $9.  I’d have to think of a name for my tash’ed alter ego too!

This Tatty Devine Dinosaur necklace is simply too amazing for words.  Raaaarrrrrrrr.From www.accessoriesonline.co.uk £96

And last but by no means least these heels that Ive loved for a few months now, finally down in the sale from Office £30

Well, what do you think of them? Link in the comments to your own Christmas Wishlist and I’ll put them up here in a few days!

Oh life in my little head has been so hectic!! It seems I haven’t stopped running for the past month! Between bouts of feeling sicky (possible IBS, booo) and working, and also just trying to have some Me Time, I’ve not found any time for blogging!! 

I did have time to go back and get another mint green Barry M nail polish, and a silver eyeliner which I haven’t been able to find since the day I bought it! Bought a fabulous dress in Oasis sale, and some over the knee socks that are quite fun and flirty to wear.

Halloween is this weekend, and I have my devils costume ready to go! I was considering stockings with it, but the ladies on Twitter convinced me to rethink that!  Thanks Super Modesty Woman! x

I’m currently refreshing an Ebay listing on a pair of shoes, finishing at 7.38pm, 24 mins away, so I figured I had to do a spot of blogging for a change!  Wish me luck, mamma wants a new pair of shoes!!

I have been reading this AMAZING halloween post by Retro Chick.  I love every single piece of footwear in this post, its really not helping my cravings for some serious goth boots.  I may have to keep my eye out for some going cheap on ebay……!

I said it once, and I’ll say it again.

WOW

This stuff is good!! I bought it Monday, painted nails that night and its still, entirely chip free! Well done, Barry M, I think you might have changed me from a nail polish snob to a bargain brights lover!!

Admittedly, to get the best out of any polish, no matter how much it costs, application is a lot to do with it. Take your time. File your nails to a smooth finish using a softer emery board.  Give yourself a base coat, to give a smooth even nail, as well as making it easier to remove dark colours.  Apply 2 coats if it needs it, and make sure you leave 5 mins between applications.  Always always always use a top coat. If this ships a little, you wont notice, but if your colour chips, you will see it.  Plus, they are not made of regular varnish stuff, its a different mixture, designed to give a robust, smooth, shiny finish, without having to worry about colour. 

Here ends todays lesson.

By the way, have you bought it yet? Go get it!!!
