Coral & Pink Ballerina Pumps

I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather we're having here! I have to say I'm not! Being as pale as I am weather like this means spending most of the day either slapping on the factor 50+ or attempting to hide in any bit of shade available. I'm much more of a Autumn person.

I am loving the amazing summer clothing range at Asda though. I seem to be coming out with more clothes than food when I go there. 


These coral and pink little Asda beauties are perfect for summer. They were about £6.00 and that's a bargain not to be sniffed at! My only grumble with these is that the fit is a little odd, they're tight at the front and quite wide along the centre, but really for 6 quid you can't complain too much!

Barbara Daly: Starlight

I've been a little bit naughty recently by sneaking beauty products into my weekly food shop. Although, the Barbara Daly make-up range in Tesco is so bangingly bargainous that it would b stupid not to.

Today I've got a little BD nail polish to show you. Starlight is a sparkly gold nail polish. It's quick drying and goes on brilliantly. What I've shown below is three coats, only two are actually needed though, I just had to attempt to cover some smudges caused by Frankie trying to get in on the painting action.



Please try and ignore the state on my cuticles. Been so busy at work recently that all forms of nail and skin care have pretty much gone right out of the window!

Next time you happen to be in Tesco do check out the BD range, they have some amazing little bits and are usually 3 for 2!

Frankie Cat

This evening I thought I'd share the most important thing in my life with you guys. 



This is Frankie. He is without a doubt the love of my life. He's two years old, loves the bath tub and is the greediest little thing I've ever known. 




I can't believe that only two years ago he looked like this, at some point along the line he grew into his gigantic ears and lost his scruffiness. 

I'm certain you'll all be seeing a lot more of Frankie. He's always getting into mischief that I can't resist sharing with the world. 

Asda Sandals and a Very Sore Toe

I had a bit of an accident earlier in the week. Not unusual for me, I might as well be known as Captain Clumsy. I have stubbed my toe to within an inch of its poor little life. I've plastered it up, mainly due to the fact the nail is cracked more than half way across and I'm terrified of catching it on something, but also because it really isn't a pretty sight. 

These super cheap sandals have been a complete life saver. 





These were a complete bargain! They were £8.00 for Asda and I love them so much that I've bought a spare pair in preparation for next year! 

They are the only pair of shoes I have that don't against me toe in some way so I've been having to wear them everyday, and will have to continue to do so for quite some time :(. I can't remember the last time I went this long without wearing a pair of heels!

Kurt Geiger Sale

Kurt Geiger have got a pretty banging sale on at the moment. Kurt Geiger shoes are always pretty impressive, yes some are very overpriced but generally I find that most items are very reasonable. The quality is always top class and goddamn are they comfy! Never had a blister with a pair of KG's. 

These are my current top picks from the sale:
Anna - Unfortunately for me I would look like a giant lemon in these! Yellow is definitely not a colour that goes with my skin tone. I absolutely love these though. 

Doll - A lovely little twist on a pretty bog standard peep top flat. 

Horatio - A little unusual but not too quirky for casual day time wear.

And anyone who says that these don't conjure up images of this man are totally lying. 





Ciaté: Bon Bon



Ciaté are fast becoming one of my favourite nail polish brands. I love the cute bottles, I love the brush and on all the colours I have of theirs I find the formula is pretty spot on. 

Today I have Bon Bon to show you. This came free with Marie Claire a couple of months back. Unfortunately, I was a little late on this offer and only managed to pick up on of the three. It's not the most exciting colour ever but it is such an easy colour to wear. It applies like a dream and dries quickly, perfect for when I'm in a rush before work. 



Anyone else love Ciaté polishes as much as I do?

Ciao

Dusky Pink Primark Bargain!

I had a nice little shopping trip to Cambridge at the weekend, first stop was Primark where these bad boys caught my eye!


Now this isn't the kind of colour I usually go for, I generally find colours like this a bit too girly for my tastes, however, I actually really love these. For £16 these are cheap as chips and I can see myself getting a lot of wear from them. I've got a couple of pairs of shorts I think these will go nicely with, and of course they'll go with jeans.




How cute is the little bow? I love the detailing on the heel and platform, something that is so often ignore on cheap shoes. 


These were the only thing I bought, unless you count a glass of OJ, packet of crisps and bag of cat litter. I did have a little hunt in both the Superdrug stores to see if I could get my grubby mitts on a bottle of Gosh Holographic Hero but alas it was sold out in both, and so the hunt continues.
