Collared Shirt - Topshop

Necklace - Sam Ubhi

Jean - French Connection

Wedges - River Island

Bag - Topshop

So, this is what I wore on our trip to Plymouth. The shoes are really comfortable, the heel is not too high and they're really quite spongy..! What I didn't anticipate however was my thighs feeling as though I had done A SQUILLION squats the next day! My feel felt absolutely fine! I did notice my legs becoming rather weak towards the end of the day, felt as though I may fall over at any point. Then the next day AND today I've barely been able to walk! Shocking! Who needs the gym when you can wear heels 12 hours straight??

I've just noticed as well, my handbag is the WRONG WAY ROUND! Har har.

Things New :)

Yesterday I had a wicked day with the man-stuff. We went to Plymouth (primarily to watch films at the Vue and stuff our faces with Nandos) Here are a few things I managed to buy while we were in Drake Circus!

The skirt is THE ONE I have been searching for....I found it in River Island. Which I did NOT expect! I never really find anything I like in there, its usually all far too adorned with sparkly bits, cheesy corsages or silly messages for my liking but this, is most certainly an exception! Its a midi-skirt, all silky and flowy, can't WAIT to do an outfit post with it :) tee hee! Thanks River Island!! 

I got the T-Shirt from Zara, a favorite shop of mine, its a relatively thick but chiffon like material, really structured and sits nicely on top of jeans or chino's. It has black strips down the arms. I like monochrome, not being someone who is majorly in to bright colours unfortunately! 

I also went knowing I needed make-up and I really wanted to try something different, I have been very loyal to Clinique in this department and i've found nothing wrong with them, I just fancied a change. I have noticed a lot of bloggers raving about Mac makeup so I went for it this time. I can say I'm very pleased, I wore the foundation today and it is really lovely! Its reflects the light beautifully without making me look shiny and stays on well (a little goes a LOOOOONG way too!! Which is good seeing as my nearest Mac counter is nearly 40 miles away!) The mascara is also great (as expected) the brush is MASSIVE and it really make my eye lashes MASSIVE and not clumpy. Happy all round.

I also HIGHLY recommend that you all go and see The Hangover 2 and the new Pirates of the Caribbean (we did a double whammy!)

Outfit posts to come! Night! x

Website Spotlight #1

Heeey! I thought I would try something a bit different and at least ATTEMPT to do something regluar. I thought I would review one or two websites that I come across during the past week/possibly fortnight (work is just TOO busy for me to skive and surf the fashion net at the moment)

I can say with a whoop that Browns Has relaunched! Housing top brands such as:

3.1 PHILLIP LIM

ACNE

CHLOE

DRIES VAN NOTEN

J BRAND

JILL SANDER

PAMELA LOVE

SURFACE TO AIR

THE ROW

VERSACE

Sound yummy? I think so too! They have a really clean and easy to use website. Everything is showcased to perfection with a little bit about each designer. They also have a section entitled "focus" this they say "is yet another great shopping experience. Browns Focus is targeted at the sophisticated, cutting edge market".  It certainly is, the prices are a bit *a'hem* pricey? But WELL worth lusting after! 

Couple of my favorite picks  

 

The skirt is Chole - £1460 (Start saving....)

The Tee is 3.1 Phillip Lim - £300

THESE shoes are Alexander Wang - £600 (as seen on the lovely Andy at Style Scrapbook - very jealous of her, lucky lady!!)

Well I think that's enough virtual money spent for one night. I must try to keep this a regular post. I mean I like nothing than scouring new/old websites for inspiration and bargains (although this website is not the most bargain-arific...they DO have a "sale" section though...) This is a diary of sorts after all!

I should probably sleep now, if I have any hope of getting up in the morning.

G'Night! Mel x
