Current Reads

I have seen the movies and decided to give the books a read. What are you reading right now? :)

Essential Heels

I feel like one should always have essential heels that can be dressy and used for evening wear. I already mentioned my cousins wedding that happened in June and now I have another two to attend. I picked up these heels from the Kurt Geiger outlet in Swindon. Everyone needs a Black, Gold and Silver pair in my eyes!

These are the Haversham design by Miss KG. They come in a couple of other colours but I got the Black Satin pair for £45 rather than the asking price of £65. They are so comfy, elegant and I love the mid heel. (Great if you want to have a little dance...high heels can restrict you sometimes!)

These are the Miss KG Halston in Silver Glitter slingbacks. These are so comfortable and I love the glitter element to the heels. Again I got these for £45 rather than £65. (Yes I like peeptoes a bit too much!)

I got these KG Kurt Geiger gold peep toes for a bargain £19 from the outlet. I love them so much...they are a beautiful gold colour and so easy to walk in.

I always like going to Outlet stores sometimes you can find bargains!!

Glittterrrrrr NOTD.

My new love is this amazing Glitter Nail polish in Confetti by H&M I have been loving this lately. I like putting it on other varishes to add a bit of glitz. First picture if All About Nails Southseas and the Second type is Barry Ms Berry Ice Cream.

Fanfare

I am loving MAC's Fanfare lipstick. It is a cremesheen lipstick and my current favourite at any time of the day. I am always reaching for this lately and rightfully so because it is an amazing pink shade and works well for an every day lipstick. (Sorry about the swatches...my actual camera isn't working so I have to use my phone!)

Mini Haul

Hey everyone! 

I was in Camden a few days ago and I went to Cyberdog and FINALLY bought something. 

Ok it wasn't anything of REAL interest but I can't really imagine wearing half the stuff that is in that store. :P I just don't think futuristic fashion would suit me. But the people who work there pull it off so well!

So I just picked up a pair of socks for £4 and a handmade Plum Crunch bath bomb which was also £4. 

If you haven't been to Cyberdog then you are missing out! It is one of the most amazing stores in London...right up there with Liberty and Harrods. I mean I can just imagine someone like Lady Gaga going in and shopping from there for one of her tours. I love the store, the interior, the loud music and that everything is Neon and UV. You cannot take any pictures but people somehow always do... *ahem...I have taken a couple too...* 

But do check out the store if you haven't already..it is a deffo must see place in London! Here is the website so that you get a better idea of what kind of stuff they sell. http://www.cyberdog.net/

What is your favourite place to visit in London?

A love for Red Soles.

Ahh Christian Louboutin what are you doing to us!
Sorry erm hello my dears I hope that you are all well. I was so lucky to visit the amazing Christian Louboutin Exhibition at the Design Museum in London.  Tickets were only like £12 or something and the exhibit was so so beautiful.
Take a look at the press release. 

Unfortunately I could not take pictures...I did sneak a couple in though. The exhibit was pretty amazing to be honest, it showed a lot of development in the shoe designs...they were all beautiful to look at...even the fetish collection which showed some of the most extravagant designs I have ever seen. My highlight was the 3D Hologram of Dita Von Teese that appeared every so often with a giant shoe hologram. I mean what is not to love about that? I did see some amazing heels and shoes though...some included work he has done for Miss Piggy of the Muppets and Dita herself. It made me see heels in a completely different light and I really appreciate some of the more 'out there' daring designs by Louboutin. If you are around London I would recommend that you make a trip and look at the exhibit. It is only around for another month or so! I didn't actually purchase anything from the giftshop because nothing really appealed to me. But I will say that if you are a shoe lover then go and check this out!

I don't own a pair of red soles as of yet...however I plan to own a simple pair one day, after all I love shoes so much that I need a pair of Louboutins in my life to make it a little more complete. :P

Keep smiling lovelies.

Nails of the day.

 I decided to go for a turquoise colour by All About Nails. A cheap 99p range sold in Tescos. I lovee this colour in Southseas. It is so vibrant and great for the summer :D
