Our Dream World

This season is all about realism. We are forced to face the harsh reality of wearable clothes, so make room for the ‘normal clothes’. After the glitz and glamour of the celeb filled noughties it’s time for something more genuine and real. Wait a minute, stop yawning. This is good news, it means the gap between a fashionable dream world and drab reality is no longer as wide as it was. Now everyday life is our fashion filled dream.


I have bought my first pair of practical shoes. They are uber geek chic and unsurprisingly androgynous. Meet my city smart shoes- suited for trawling the city and smart enough for work.

Shoes; £62 - Office

Oops i did it again...

I think they kind of look like slippers, but that's fine by me as they are as comfy as them.

i never see myself as a shoe lover, however this is clearly changing. Judging by the size of my shoes label in my tags cloud i am quite a fan of them. Just as well for the time being until someone buys me my Mulberry Alexa. hint hint cough cough. I have always wanted some colourful shoes, and when i spotted these in River Island sale i met my perfect match. Simple lilac shoes with a full black outfit will make the ultimate impact. And the studs make them not so twee, which makes them so Emily (me).

Shoe-ccessful

Seriously, I am on fire in this summer's sales.  My last Next...yes Next yet again sale purchase. I think i've made that promise a few times now ...hmm...
These brogues are a perfect camel/sand colour for this Autumn Winter. Real leather and at a bargain of £20, how was i going to resist.
What i am surprised about and what made me buy them was how vintage they look. With a wooden heel and slightly battered, darker leather on the toe i could easily pass these off for and Oxfam vintage purchase.
I'm pairing them with some socks, also Next sale (shockingly enough) for the ultimate preppy school girl look and to keep my tootsies warm.

Lets play out in the rain

OK, my final sale purchase....i promise-ish.

I do not know what is going on with some shops this year, these wellies are from Next and came in store along with the summer season clothes. Excuse me what!? Yes, they are perfect for those festival go-ers, but i don't think even the festival junkies would buy these clumpy wellies with their ripped denim shorts, sunglasses and straw trilby, and lucky for them we've had a pretty sunshine filled English summer.

So typically these wellies went straight in the sale....HALLELUJAH!! From £25 to £10, cheers Next.
Yes they are studs and studs were very much around last winter, but i don't care, they are perfect in my eyes. Teamed with a pretty floral number they give that boy/girl twist i crave so much.

The cold is coming

But not so soon that i can't whip my short yet bronzed legs out and give them a run for their money.
I am in absolute love with my new jumper. Oh and did i mention it is another, yes another, bargain SALE find.
It has to be said FCUK do have one of the best sales, both summer and winter. This jumper i was convinced was not in the sale. At £37 i have met my true love for the winter.
I am tucking it into my high waisted H&M shorts which are luxury to wear and baring my legs.

 Paired with my nine west boots, which guess what, surprise surprise were a sale buy 2 years ago from Selfridges & co along with some preppy cream socks i am all set for the breezy autumn days. 

MOTHER!!!

My mum has beat me to it.
I love the patent brogue style and the chunky heel makes them perfect  and almost suitable for chilly winter walks.

Shoes: from Next A/W11 preview catalogue

Warm winter treats

My shoe splurges for the cold British weather looming on us. (not to jinx it it though, I'm still enjoying this summer sun.)

Arctic wedge

Hunter festival wellies

I'll cry if i want to

It my birthday in less than a month and these shoes would be greatly appreciated.

Miu Miu shoes.

Yes I own these beautiful shoes

...and they are from Next.

Next have a to die for shoe section at the moment. These were only £45! So what i don't really have any money.

When i first heard of the clog trend i was very undecided. After spotting these beauties, i am fully persuaded and hope the trend is here to stay.

A summer treat...

Why have i only discovered Marks and Spencer's shoes.
This shop is full of hidden on trend pieces, that may be a little pricey but are more than worth buying in to.
I need a new pair of summer heels, something i can carry through to Autumn and wear day and night. Catwalk style and at half the price of Topshop I'm definitely hitting Marks and Spencer's. Shhh... our little secret.
