Chunky Boots.

When I go out I CANNOT wear heels, I can't walk in them and they hurt like hell. I always opt for wearing boots out and the only fancy ones I have that I can spent the whole night in are my JuJu's and they are no good in the wind and rain!

I was recently asked if I wanted to try out some women's shoes from Heelberry, so I chose myself a pair of boots that I can wear on a night out and will actually last the whole night in:

ANGUS Lace Up Boots - Heelberry *

I can actually feel myself getting a cold coming, I hope it just passes as a sniffle but so many people have had flu's and fevers recently I'm super scared I'm going to get ill, so I'm just trying to keep warm and keep my mind on other things.

Bonus cat picture.

What do you think of Heelberry? Hope you had a great weekend!

I Love My Clarks.

I've mentioned a couple times on my blog that I've been after some Clarks and this Christmas I finally got lucky! I got my favourite pair - the Desert Hugs.

They are a suede desert boot with a fur inside lining to keep feet extra snuggly in the cold weather and also makes you feel like you are walking on a little cloud.  

I've refused to wear them in the rain but I'm hoping we are out of the storm now and my feet can get cosy and warm without getting soggy!

Clarks have also released previews of their SS14 range and here are my fave picks:

Amulet Magic Flats.

Milly Dilly Satchel.

Hotel Image Cut-Out Shoe
(my fave! how good will these look in Spring/Summer?)

Tailor Cut Cut-Out Floral Handbag.

Do you wear Clarks? They were a childhood go-to for school shoes for me but I'm also loving them as an adult :).

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Ladies Who Inspire Me.

Hello!

First up sorry for lack of posting, the great Blogger tragedy of '11 which is going to be my best excuse.

Thought I'd do something a little different for my blog and show you all some of the amazing ladies who inspire me in my life daily.

Let's get this show on the road!

Gwen Stefani - I got into Gwen when I discovered No Doubt in about '96, a striking lady with a unique dress sense, it was idol at first sight! Since then we have seen SO many forms of Gwen and her amazing sense of style it's unreal (My personal fave was "Sweet Escape" Gwen). This picture was taken a few days ago so as you can see for 41 and 2 kids -  she is amazing!

Deborah Harry - Again I've always been a huge Blondie fan (influenced by my mum) and I get called 'Debbie' by EVERYONE! I put it down to being bright blonde and looking like a rockstar with an attitude ;). 

Bethany Cosentino - She is a super cute girl who plays in an amazing band, loves cats and wears cute clothes. I want to be her.

Zooey Deschanel - My fave actress, she has a gorgeous, quaint style plus the most natural prettiness ever!  I love her smiley, kind sense and her beautiful singing voice.

Lady Gaga - Now Lady G gets alot of stick from alot of people about her style and blah blah BUT she provides strong messages which I think is great and the power she has to be able to help change is really something special. Plus I'm a sucker for her AMAZING body!

Nicki Minaj - Fierce as hell, I love Nicki, she knows how to make fun of herself, her style is really out there and her music makes for excellent woman-power! Plus if i ever get a boob-job I am taking a pic of Nicki in there! I kinda want to give this joint to Beyonce too, I am in love with that woman and her thighs.

Well I hope you enjoyed a little insight to my life. Which ladies style inspires you? I'd love to see some other posts like this too, so if you do one link me up in the comments!

P.S Shameless plug but i have my Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes up on ebay HERE. So check it out if you have small feet! x

New Outfit - Leopard Print Playsuit.

Been a little naughty recently and bought some new clothes and shoes, despite needed to save every little penny for Dollars - which is another bit of news, me and my friend decided to spend my 21st in New York City! So off we go Jan 3rd for 7 days and nights, NY is my favorite place and this will be my 3rd time there.

Ok back to my new outfit:

Leopard Playsuit, Primark - £13

Chain cardigan, H&M - £24.99
(as seen in my H&M online post!)

The playsuit is a size 8 yet you need HUGE boobs to make it fit the chest (which I don't have!).
I've managed to safety pin it from the inside.

Peach Brogues, Primark - £8

What have you been spending too much money on recently?
I do have more on the way - oops!

High School Spirit!

First of all this post is totally inspired by the lovely Ivonne over at i just nod.

I'm 20 and British so the never go to the American high school thing you see in films. I'm a huge nerd for anything musical too and I've already done a Glee inspired post so now it's time to do a High School Musical post. Heck yes (see i told you I was a nerd!).

Obviously the films are cheesy as hell, aimed at small children BUT do contain to beautiful eye candy that is known as Zac Efron - and I LOVE them (and him)!!

Images via: here and here.

Here are the 2 main characters, Troy and Gabriella (Zacs IRL girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens/Bitch :P) and now here is my take on their characters high school style:

I was given the T-shirt by my boyfriend who once went through a Troy Bolton faze - American Apparel
Shorts - Primark
Sports socks - American Apparel
Vans Authentics - Office

What films are your guilty pleasures? 

Also you have 2 days left to enter my giveaway so go go hurry! (Click HERE)

Hope you've all had a great weekend.

Animal Prints pt.1

I'm a total sucker for anything with a cute animal on! 

There are lots about at the moment but I've been going strong with the animal theme for a long while now, so here is the first part of my favourite items I own with an animal on:

I got this from my boyfriend last Christmas.
I LOVE hamsters, they are my favourite animal.

This is by Art Disco, it's probably my favourite jumper ever!
Aztec + Owl = sweet sweet joy!

I've posted this before (here) but I'm a sucker for Deer anything so this was a must for a favourites list!

Do you own anything with a animal pic on? Most importantly...whats your favourite animal?!
Also I hit 200 followers last night so I am planning TWO giveaways for your lovelies!

New Shoes - Vivienne Westwood.

Recently Brand Alley had a flash sale on Vivienne Westwood Melissa Lady Dragon shoes. Of course I was ecstatic as I have tried twice to get these shoes (although I wanted just the gold orb ones). First of all YOOX messed up my order, sent me the wrong size and then sold out of size 3's. Then ASOS sent me the glitter edition (which I don't like) when I ordered plain black.

Brand Alley didn't have the gold orb's so I went for my 2nd choice - the wax seal orb!

I love them! The smell of Bubblegum is amazing too!

They are a 'jelly' shoe, however the heel is VERY sturdy and had proper grip on the bottom.

Yum yum! Love my new shoes!

£40 from Brand Alley.

What are your favourite pair of shoes?

I am currently on 99 followers, that means 1 more and I'll be doing a giveaway - so tell your friends! I've been picking up bits and I shall get a little something from Paris for the winner too. If I reach 100 I shall be setting up the give-away on Friday.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Wish-List!

First up, I had been asked last week to do a interview with Tuesdai for her blog '...a reflection by Tuesdai' - you can see my interview HERE!

Now, I have a trip to Paris in the next 2 weeks so I'm saving hard. Everything I love has been put on a wish-list that, unless somebody else wants to buy me them, will be on the wish-list until I win some kind of lottery (not the Nigerian one i keep getting emails about!)

So here is my wish-list:

PPQ Emmanuelle Steamcream - in limited edition kitty tin!

£10 - via ASOS.

Velvet Drape Tailored Shorts - amazingly cute velvet shorts

£24.99 - via River Island

Jacquard Cape - I love the little wolf print on this, I want it more than anything!

£40 - ASOS

Cable Wool Over Knee Socks - so cute with shorts and heels, going to buy come pay-day

£6 - via ASOS

AERIAL Lace Up Ankle Boots - been on my wishlist for the past 6 weeks, LOVE these!

£55 - via ASOS

Which do you like?

Also I have a HUGE favour to ask all my lovely followers - anybody who has been to Paris, if you could tell me things I MUST visit, see and do, any recommendations really, I'd be forever grateful! Comment here or drop me an email: nfgchimp@hotmail.com

Have a great weekend!
