Cleated Soles Wishlist



1. Public desire  / 2. La Moda / 3. La Moda / 4. New Look / 5. Pretty Little Thing / 6. Pretty Little Thing


As well as probably half of the blogger community i am absolutely obsessed with cleated soles at the moment! Something that popped up on the catwalks last year but which has slowly gone mainstream to most online retailers now. I've picked out a selection of both heeled and flat shoes because i know they aren't everyone's cup of tea! My favourite pair is currently 1. which im hoping to place an order in today, the heel size is just right for me as i like something that is fairly practical, i literally cant walk in heels anyway. I love the higher heeled ones but for me i realistically don't think i could walk in them, most of these retailers only sell online so i feel like i would need to try them on first for size and test the walking ability! The jelly shoes are classics though and the short heel is perfect for still looking glam in the day! All of these shoes are at relatively reasonable prices, the most expensive been around £40, its also worth checking eBay out though as they sell exact dupes of these at slightly lower prices!

Also, just a quick update to tell you all what im up to! I wont be posting probably until next week now as i have a lot going on, i'm off to Finland for a few days, i'm then going to a very exciting photo shoot with the Sun newspaper in London and then i'm straight on to a blogger meet in Southampton! Its going to be a busy week but im really excited for it all! But don't worry, i will be back to posting regularly from next week with lots of exciting posts lined up. I hope you all have a great week!

What do you thinkof cleated soles? Which ones are your favourites? Do you already own a pair?

OOTD | Floral bomber jacket








Bomber jacket* - Missy Empire
Shirt - Primark
Jeans - Topshop
Sandals - Topshop
Bag - H&M
Necklace - Ebay


I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! This is also an end of era for my outfit pictures, but don't worry i don't mean this literally. I've grown to love this place that i take photos in in Southampton as the light is always perfect and the backdrop of the old Southampton walls is perfect. As i am leaving university soon to go back to Plymouth this will sadly be my last lot of outfit pictures here, but i am on a mission to find more great places like this back home!

Bomber jackets are a big hit this spring and they are featured in most shops in an array of colours and patterns. I had been after a pastel blue one from Boohoo but Missy Empire kindly sent me over this floral bomber to wear instead which is so pretty. I love the monochrome look it has going on and what i love about bomber jackets is the lightweight feel of them because they are perfect for that in between stage in the weather between Spring and Summer. They also have some other gorgeous floral bomber jackets if you're on the look out for one. I've featured the rest of my clothing a lot of times in other outfit posts but it just shows how versatile denim shirts and black joni jeans are, they can work their way into any look!

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day! What do you think of this outfit? Do you like bomber jackets? Where do you take your outfit pictures?

Ice-Watch Eyewear


Ice-watch-eyewear
Calling all sunglasses lovers i have discovered the most amazing,versatile,protective and very cool sunglasses! I'm sure most of you are aware of the well known Ice-Watch brand, known for their array of watches in super cool colours and spotted on the arms of many celebrities. I for one loved them when they were first released and i still have a white and purple watch which i have had for almost 3 years and which are still going strong now. When i heard that Ice-Watch were launching their first collection of sunglasses to be called Ice-watch Eyewear i was very excited!

Firstly i will fill you in a little about the range.The glasses are unisex and are part of a 20 piece collection. They come in two different shapes, i opted for the mood version which is the retro style for all of the quirky fashionistas out there and they also come in the pulse shape which is the timeless classic frame. They are also available in 10 amazing different colours, ranging from the bright and daring to the more conventional colours such as white and black as you can see from the above picture. These glasses will be perfect for the summer, whether you're heading to a festival,lounging by the pool or doing something more adventurous. They have a 'protection with category 3 anti-UV polycarbonate lenses, ensuring safety as well as comfort with its soft silicone finish.The frames are ergonomic, lightweight and adapt to all facial types. They are produced in Europe without hinges and screws, so allowing them to withstand any deformation'. If you also need to wear contact lenses or standard glasses these can be glazed with your prescription lenses so they really do cater for everyone.

So what do i think of them? The claims that they make fully live up to their name. As i said previously I've tried Ice-Watch before so i know that they are good quality and are fully worth the money. What i love about these glasses is that they don't contain hinges, with so many cheap sunglasses i have had the screws loosen only after a few wears meaning that they don't fit as well as they should. The fact that its one size fits all is brilliant as i often also find it hard finding glasses to fit my face. They fit perfectly and because of their soft rubber like finish they don't rub or leave those annoying sunglasses marks on the bridge of your nose. I literally cannot recommend these enough, they also come in the most amazing packaging,very similar to how the watches are also encased. Although, i think for on the go i would transfer these to a smaller sunglasses case. I have spent so much money on cheap sunglasses in the past that break, don't have sufficient protection and are just 'okay'. At only £59.50 they are a very reasonable price for such a good quality pair of sunglasses and with the option to pick what shape and colour you want their is something to suit everyone's tastes!

So all you fashionistas out there can expect affordable,long lasting,functionability and bags of style with these! I do feel rather cool whenever i wear these and cannot wait to wear them on holiday!

What do you think of these sunglasses? Have you heard of Ice-watch before? What are your opinions on paying more for sunglasses? Where do you normally buy yours?

OOTD | Palm trees







Top - Primark
Jeans - H&M
Jelly shoes- Primark
Clutch - New Look
Necklace - Ebay
Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

The weather was pleasantly nice and warm over the bank holiday for once so i managed to wear this new palm tree top which is from Primark for only £5 i seem to remember. I love the high neck of it and the palm tree design is very summer appropriate, i opted for an all white look here which i am really digging at the moment, i think it looks so pristine. I'm always a sucker for white but i am also the messiest person so its inevitable that i'm going to spill ketchup down myself at some point haha. This was also the first time i wore my jelly shoes without socks and its fair to say my feet are in absolute bits, i hope it gets better because i really do love these shoes! According to the weather we also have a 2 week heatwave coming up which i really do hope is true, i have far too many clothes that only get worn on holidays, heres to hoping!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the all white look? Do you like jelly shoes?
