In These Heels

Archive for the ‘Shopping’ Category

I hate death. Hate it more than anything else in the world. I hate how it makes you feel as soon as you hear, shocked, worried, reflective. I hate the funeral, seeing people weeping so hard, not having words to say to comfort friends and family you have known all your life. I hate that sinking feeling afterwards, when you think you see them, or you want to tell them something, but then you remember you can’t.

Its my day off. In fact, I’m off all week! And its GREAT!

I had an idea on Twitter last night, to document my day off. Like Ferris Bueller, only with better hair, and shoes. And so it starts!

Woke up, 8.30. Something fell down the stairs. My son had dropped one of his rollerblades as he went down to play the xbox. I dont know why he was carrying them either.

I had to get up. Tea. Biscuits. Sofa. Requires no heels.

And Batfink pj’s. Obviously.

I’ve been ebaying
M&S Heels, they are nude and pink, and I purchased these in black when they were first in the shop, but they were half a size too small. Spotted these on the bay, 99p, thank you very much!

Again, 99p, Primark Gucci-esque heels that never made it to my local store, or if they did they sold out so quickly. They are actually really comfy, but in pre-worn condition, so will be saved more for when I really really want to wear them, and not every day.

Finally, Topshop Unique heels. Theses are more fabulous on screen than in real life unfortunately. £38 on ebay, still with the stickers saying £115 original price.  I am undecided on them, especially what to wear with them!

Sometimes waiting for sales, or ebay listings pays off!

1st August is mobile phone upgrade day! Yay! I’ve had my trusty Samsung Pixon for 18 months, and although I still love it, and its 8mp camera, I am more than ready for a change.

But I need help. What should I get?! I have few preferences, but must have a decent camera, and be internet capable, Wi-Fi would also be ideal. I’m with T-Mobile, and they do not yet have iPhone4, would it be worth it if I waited? or should I go for HTC Desire, or Blackberry, or similar?

The biggest problem with these smart phones, is that they require a 24 month contract. WTF? Its longer than most serious relationships!! I’m gonna try my best to bet 18 months at the most.

Comments below please!!

ASOS

I love it. Best online shop ever, hands down. I spend so much time on it, if it was a real shop I would actually live in it. Sleeping bag, in the changing room, that would be me.

I have just ordered this, with free delivery, free returns, and £5 off cos I bought a tin of Diet Coke (may be NI/ROI only, please check).

The dress is available in regular and petite sizes both £55, and the ears hairband only £8, or £3 if you use the discount code and free super saver delivery!! Bargain of the century right there.

Hope to wear the dress to the day at the races in June, or perhaps the ears with an alternative dress. I still have my wedding fascinator  that I would love to wear again, though its white, I might investigate spraying it another colour…..!
