Something…simple

You know when you just have one of those days?! Ones that you wish you could just rewind? Up till this afternoon was feeling quite pleased with myself, sorted a load of jobs out, went shopping and got most of the Christmas presents I wanted, was loving this outfit (is basic but feels good) and then only went and dented all the side of my car in :( (hence why I am not smiling greatly in these photos!!!)

As my mum said though (when I rang her straight after in a mixture of sobs and swearing!), "at least you/anyone wasn't hurt, it's only a possession!" And it's true, it's hard to take sometimes when something you own gets damaged (mainly coz I feel pretty stupid about it all, no comments about women drivers please!) but when you and the people you love are ok you just have to look at the bigger picture! 

Gold…unicorns

 

Shoes: Irregular Choice

HELLO!!! I will post more often, I swear I must as I miss it! Have been crazy busy with work, (and is only going to get busier I'm sure!!!). Have moved where I am for work so getting bit more used to that recently. But in other news…look at these shoes!!!!!!!! I GOT SOME! I missed the original 'Eternal Friend' unicorn shoes that were originally released by Irregular Choice but then the 'Trixy' version came out in gold and was even better!!!

You may notice that there are no photos of them actually on my feet as these ones I bought online and got a size too small :( (does anyone else struggle with like half size feet?!) so they have had to go back but then realised there were some in Schuh and, although I love the turquoise colour as a colour, I think the peach ones, here, actually worked best with the gold unicorn. Either way the heel's a unicorn, just amazing!!! You know my love of Irregular Choice as they are based in my home town and were debating them for bridesmaids shoes for the wedding posted about before! Just all greatly original!

Wonderful…time

Ok so it's a bit premature but have been doing some present hunting today and came across a few goodies that I wanted to share! I love this time of year and being able to think up different presents that (hopefully) people will enjoy! I'm not one particularly to own all the traditional Christmas pieces (I'm thinking penguin jumpers, bobble headed Father Christmas' and light up reindeers) but I do love some of the more subtle pieces and the traditional things you do around this time of year, like having an advent calendar, stockings, decorating the tree etc. 

I came across the first top though and thought maybe I am a bit more predictable than I realise though as this would be my ideal Christmas list!!! The last one, of the advent calendar from Topshop, is an idea I'd not seen before of a jewellery advent calendar. Have seen ones with things other than chocolate (Lego one was a good one!) but thought that was a nifty idea! Would still have a chocolate one too though!

Texture…and print

OMG how much do I love this jumper! Possibly the softest thing I have ever worn, can't help but stroke it (which looks a bit weird sometimes when I'm just walking down the street!). Need to try and glam it up a bit though, maybe with a leather skirt and some ankle boots for the now autumn feeling?

I've said before how much I quite like this time of year, when you can break out jumpers and wrap up a bit more (maybe with someone!) but it does feel kind of like the calm before the storm, when you have gone past the crazy days of summer and now just waiting for the festivities of Christmas. That and my birthday, eeee!!!
