My picks from the sale are below, all prices are accurate at time of blogging!

Cute to dress down with a cardi, tights and either black or brown boots, its hard to see what the darkest colour is on this dress. No need for accessories, let the pattern do the talking.  Ladies 60s Print Shift Dress £9

Flared skirts are EVERYWHERE. Which isn’t such a bad thing.  They flatter all shapes, forgive your Food Baby Belly after a big lunch .The problems come when the wind lifts it round you head, and when shops insist on making them short enough to see what food that baby ate for lunch.  This one promises to fall just below the knee, which is much more like it. the contrasting side panels, and zip make for something just a little bit different from all the skater dresses out there.   Fit & Flare Colour Block Dress £14

This skirt has a bit of a mullet going on, but I think it would be perfect with chunky boots and a huge wool scarf in the snow! Slinky Dip Hem Skirt £8

Unfortunately this dress suffers from poor styling, well, I certainly wouldn’t wear that dress with THOSE heels.  I really think it needs a wide belt, and knee high black boots.  Add a wide floppy hat for a real ’70s feel.  Hanky Hem Dress £11

Another ‘mullet’ skirt, I really like the rust colour of this one, but would reserve judgement until I seen the fabric, it looks a bit shiny. But I like a challenge.  Its in a new range, called Peacocks by Design, and is available in mid brown and teal.  Dip Hem skirt £14

Perhaps my favourite out of all the dresses, and for £20, its a bargain.  Peacocks can be touch and go with their quality, but this is again from the new by Design range, so I would like to think they addressed those issues.  This dress would get worn a lot!!  Colour Block Dress £20

Im keen to try a leather skirt, and this faux leather one could be a cheap way to discover that its actually not for me at all.  I envision wearing it to work, with a crisp white shirt, but reality? I wouldn’t have a clue what shoes to wear with it, and would squeek against my faux leather chair all day.  Pleat Centre Hem Skirt £9

Yeah, I need these.  Brogue Heel Boots £24.50

Available in brown ’leather’ or black faux suede, these wedge heels would be a welcome addition to any wardrobe. I might  have to get the black! Wedge boots both styles £21

These surprised me when I came across them, pleasantly!! Peacocks shoes can be on the small, and narrow side, so again, I’d have to see these in real life, before I committed to them.  Holly Round Toe Block Platform Heels £17.50

My most favourite shoes EVER. Its true love

<3

And they scream loud, because they are sitting in a box right beside me and I haven’t got a chance to open it yet!! Literally going to explode if I don’t get them on my feet soon!

Oh if only I wasnt completely skint! I dont know if I can hold off for birthday money to buy these shoes, I will be in the Kurt Geiger shop on 13th August, a whole 2 WEEKS before my birthday! Not fair.

Buy Miss KG Minnie heels here. Also in purple and black.

Again, 99p, Primark Gucci-esque heels that never made it to my local store.

Finally, Topshop Unique heels. £38 on ebay, still with the stickers saying £115 original price.  I am undecided on them, especially what to wear with them!

The books were 3 for £1, and the Bad Cat one is like LOL Cats, its so cute! I love the necklace, £12 and hand made locally by a lovely lady, who calls the brand The Clock And The Cat. Adorable! Each piece is individual, and amazing quality, such a pity she doesn’t sell online.

The highlight of the day was the fire men. What is it about a man in rubber that makes women go weak at the knees? They even had their big tools out! Of course I am talking about the Jaws of Life (yes they really are called that!) and a pneumatic cutting claw. I have such total respect for the men and women in the fire service, as I know I could never manage what they do.

However, it was these two firemen that I took home with me!

Of course, I did the whole day in heels! Sometimes I dont know why either….. but they are new, and I hadn’t had a chance to wear them yet! But I am pleased to say, after a short walk there and back, and 1.5hrs dandering around, they were super comfy. From Clothing at Tesco £18, but I had 30% off! Absolute bargain.

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.

Yes River Island I am talking to you.

This morning, I felt a little under the weather, so when the River Island email popped up on my screen, I had a wee look at it, to cheer myself up. And that is when I saw them.

 Ignore, if you can, that rather nice LBD, and take a look at the shoes.  Fierce, strappy, studded, towering heel, they’ve got it all.  But can I get them? No. Admittedly River Island are selling some really fabulous shoes at the moment, and maybe these will be coming into stock soon, but then why show them on the email that they are presumably sending to thousands of shoe hungry ladies, like myself? Its like torture, physiological warfare, a conspiracy to get all the women of the land pining after a pair of shoes they cant have. In fact, I’m sure it must be against some advertising laws, they should state that the shoes are not available on their email.


So get it sorted,  River Island! You are selling loads of shoes, surely another pair must suit that dress too!! Stop showing me what I cant have!

Inside the box, was a shopping bag, which is filled with cute little presents! they are nice, the people over at My-Wardrobe.

I purchased 4 pairs of Jonathan Aston tights, in black, smoke, teal and velvet purple. These are a great brand, relatively hard wearing, great colours, and a great price too, £5.50 on this website, but also found on loads of other sites. I also purchased the D&G butterfly, it was far too cute to pass on! and its even cuter in real life, made from 100% silk, it will flutter in the breeze!! I cant wait to try it out tomorrow.

And now for the shoes. I did mention that I’d solved my Red Shoe Shortage, and I dont do things by halves. I have also solved that I Dont Own Any Vivienne Westwood Shoes issue that I’ve had for a while. Ok, so they are Melissa, and they are Anglomania, but by heck they are fabulous!!!

So shiny, and pretty and strappy and fab! The perfect combination for a pair of heels. I only wish they had a slightly clawed toe, like some other of the Melissa for VW styles. I do own plainer Melissa heels, and although they are reasonably comfy, they do something odd to one of my right toes, which can hurt after a while, but I know its my feet to blame, and not the shoes!

Janine of Shoe Asylum has a pair with clawed toes, and she is also a huge fan of the Melissa rubber shoes. I’m sure she will be a tad green seeing these on my feet!! But she has Louboutins, so she wins
