Shoes Are A Girls Best Friend.

There has never been such a truer statement. We have shoes to impress, for comfort, for daily activities and for fun. Shoes to go with every outfit, every style, shoes to match each little thing we want. I'm not big on 'fashion' and the expensive designer clothes that have a price tag over £1,000 but when it comes to shoes, there is no limit.

For instance all the shoes I have are pretty much my favorites, I don't tend to pick my daily shoes because I already know what they'll be, that goes for my going out shoes and what not too. Here are some of my favorites.

Doc Martens have always been my favorite shoes, for a very long time. I got my first black pair at the age of about 13 and I only got my second black pair, after my first ones had literally fallen apart, at 16 for prom. I also got my second pair along with my first pair one Christmas, these were a metallic purple color. I got my silver ones when out with my current boyfriend just shopping because we had a bit of spare cash. My creepers, my first pair to date I got last October for my 16th birthday after I had nagged and pleased for them (my mum still hates them though).
Black Docs.
1st pair  £75 - Schuh. 2nd pair - £66 from eBay.
Purple Metallic Docs.
£75 - Schuh (bearing in mind this was 3 years ago).
Silver (mid leg 14/16 eyelet) Docs.
£18 - Chinese Laundry.
Black Leather Brothel Creepers (double sole 2inch)
£55 - eBay.


I also have quite a mixed collection of shoes, such as heels and little ballet pumps and also I have  Converse  and fake Chelsea boots (2nd pic). All for very different occasions but I love every pair. The third picture of heels I consider to be my babies and I've only worn them twice, I'm not use to wearing heels and well.. these ones are huuge.
Brogue Style Heeled Boots.
£25 - Newlook.
Fake Style Chelsea Boots.
£8 - Primark.
Platform Heels 
£18 - Matalan.
Converse All Star Baseball Boots (probably my 3rd at least)
£25 - Schuh (this was about 3/4 years ago as well.)

I do pretty much love all the shoes I won, I don't think I could part with any of them, instead just add to my collection and I do have a cheeky few pairs on my wishlist. Some of them pretty pricey.



Studded Doc's.
Now I don't quite know where to find these because I just found the image online, so I guess their self customized.
Studded Suede Brothel Creepers (double sole 2inch).
£34 - eBay (inc p&p)
Chelsea Boots.
£24 - eBay (inc p&p, also they aren't '''real ones''').
Cherry Red Doc's. (Always been a huge favorite and must have for me).
In shops - £90-£100. eBay - £50 - £60.
Studded Campell Boots.
I'm aware that these for real ones can be about £50 - £100 but I have seen some really good fakes for for about £40 - £50 off eBay.

What some people would called an 'odd' wishlist for shoes for a girl but I guess I just like different things to what everyone else likes. But hopefully within the coming year I can knock a few pairs off my shoe wishlist, I mean I am going to need to shoes for college when I start ^.^

Soap and Glory!

My guess is that pretty much all girls have tried this stuff and if you haven't get something from their range! I myself haven't bought any out of my own pocket but I have been bought a few products and I have to say I love it. For valentine's day, way back this year my boyfriend bought me some (this is when we got together) and I still have some of it. I have to say it's quite expensive which means I won't always buy it, but when it's on offer I always hunt for the bargains.

My favorite bits he got me (2/3) was the lipgloss and body spray. First of all the lipgloss is one of thoose 'lip pumpers' where the lipgloss actually tingles. It feels really odd but nice and also it's a very nice color. The second item of the two the body spray, I adore. As do many of my family. It's a very sweet scent but not so overly-powerful like a little girly scent. It's just right for a quick spray because it really freshens up up and smells amazing.
The Righteous Butter 300ml - £10.50
Mist You Madly body spray 250ml - £6.50
Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss - £9.00

They all do seem quite expensive for the amount you get, yet I've been using them all since February and safe to say their not empty yet!

The Liebster Award!

Thank you so much to Kirsty @ alwaysdrinktea for nominating me for this award for ~new bloggers~, it was a wonderful suprise I got while on holiday (I just got back today).


Here are the rules for the award:
  • Each person must post eleven things about themselves.
  • Answer the eleven questions the tagger has set for you.
  • Choose eleven people and tag them in this post.
  • Follow the tagger and visit at least three of the nominees.

Eleven things about me:
  1. I'm a very small person, I measure about 5ft2 and I love it. I wouldn't change it.
  2. I'm an avid reader and will always carry a book around with me, wherever I am. 
  3. I'm blind as a bat without my glasses/contact lenses and I do enjoy wearing them, occasionally.
  4. I had braces for around 4 years and without them I looked like Goofy in child form.
  5. I live in Hull which I guess is a place people don't generally hear about because we're so small.
  6. I've only ever visited London 3/4 times but each time I've loved it even more then the last.
  7. I make better friends with boys then I do girls but Cheryl is the exception and I treasure the fact she's my best friend - she's fab. 
  8. I want a career as a writer or journalist but because I don't tend to finish things I'm a little doubtful.
  9. I'm a messy perfectionist, but only when it's about something I really enjoy.
  10. I adore acoustic music but don't listen to it as much as I should. 
  11. I have a split family both of my parents remarried but I don't hate them because I have an adorable little half brother. 
Eleven questions I was tagged in:

  1. What is your favourite brand of clothing and why? - This is a hard one because I don't tend t wear 'brands' I just wear clothes. But I'd have to say Criminal Damage because they have the comfiest hoodies ever. 
  2. Tell us about your favourite childhood memory? I don't quite know, my childhood is a little forgotten (bad memory) but I guess my mum use to read to me and my twin brother every night and she would read the Harry Potter books, and well they stuck with me. 
  3. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why? - Most obvious a cat! I'd just like to be a cat, laze/sleep around all day in really uncomfortable positions and get love and attention.
  4. Choose between telepathy or telekinesis and give reasons why? - Telepathy because I guess I sometimes get a little lonely on my own but I don't want company but talking to someone is nice. 
  5. Are you sporty? Have you ever been sporty? - Up until the age of about 12 I rode horses, did Gymnastics and also competitive dance but not anymore. 
  6. What's one fashion or beauty faux pas that you can't abide by? - Fur in some cases, I would only wear if the animal had died beforehand and not shot for that reason alone. Also foundation on peoples lips, just ew!
  7. Designer or high street? Why? - HIGH STREET! Mainly because it's what I can afford but also designer doesn't interest me (apart from Alexander Mcqueen) and also with my style that I wear my clothes come from 'designer labels' that son't cost a bomb e.g. hell bunny.
  8. Do you have a favourite video game or console? - This is hard because I've had pretty much every one under sun. I'll go old school and say PS1/2 but also gameboys with old school Pokemon games!
  9. What was your best subject at school or college/university? - I enjoyed it so much at high school that I'm continuing English at college and I also hope to take it at university, I'm a nerd at heart really.
  10. Would you rather skydive or bungee jump? - I would actually do both, even though I haven't tried either I don't think either would bother me.
  11. What got you interested in becoming a blogger? - I've always enjoying getting down what's in my head into written form. This meant I started with a daily diary which then turned into a one month account because I just couldn't get on top of it. Then I turned to the electronic side of things e.g. tumblr/blogspot/wordpress and it stuck. It's easier and nicer to use because I love typing.
