These boots are made for walkin'!

You know when you buy something and you like it so much that you have to keep looking at it?! Well that's how I feel about my latest purchase - my gorgeous boots from River Island :-) I keep popping into my bedroom to get another peak! ('sad' springs to mind...)

I was in Watford supposedly shopping for Christmas presents recently, but 'accidentally' wandered into River Island and picked these beauties up for myself...

I've been after a new pair of boots for a few weeks now, what with the colder weather n all. These were just what I've been looking for as they're flat (I can't be doing with heels on a daily basis), a lovely tan colour, and have fur, which is just everywhere at the moment.

Now this might sound strange coming from someone who shops a lot, but the £44.99 I spent on these is the biggest amount of money I've spent on any single item in ages. Although I buy quite a lot, I normally shop in sales and am a bit of a bargain hunter. However, I reckon they're great value for money. They're really good quality and I think they'll be pretty versatile.

They should be perfect for work as well as play, and I think I can wear them with a whole range of looks. Also, as well as wearing them with all the fur showing you can turn them up so they look more like boxing boots, to give another look again.

I am tres happy with my new purchases and can't wait to debut them at work a some point this week :-)

But from now on I think I need to be kept on a tight leash on Christmas shopping expeditions, and remember I'm supposed to be buying for other people! I think it's probably best that I avoid River Island then...

My First Fashion Show! Tres Excited!

Hello loves :-)

I have some very exciting news to share - this Friday I'll be attending my first ever fashion show! Needless to say, I'm a very happy and excited little bunny.

I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to The LOOK Show in a blogging competition being run by New Look, who'll be showcasing some of their latest pieces at the event. To enter the comp, you had to write a short paragraph on your 'Top Autumn Trend Prediction'. As is always the case with me and these types of thing I got rather carried away, and instead of just writing a short paragraph this is the entry I submitted (you can click on it to see it bigger)...

New Look must have liked it, as I got an email earlier today saying I was one of their two winners :-) I'm so excited as I can't wait to see all the clothes, and apparently there'll be some celebs there too, and I do love a good ol' bit of celeb spotting! I'll be sure to post pics on here, and obviously I'll be writing a piece for the New Look blog too, so I'll post a link to that once it's up.

So now I'm off to find a friend to go with and, most importantly, decide what to wear! Any suggestions are most welcome...
