AWOL

Ok, so I have been ridiculously crap at putting anything on here lately! The problem is that I'm so skint that I can't bear to look at any clothing websites, fashion mags or go into any shops as it just depresses me.

Jack's finally got his leaving date!!! I've managed to get myself an office job so I'm attempting to save every penny I can. This has meant that I've been ridiculously anti-social (sorry guys). I've even had to cancel on dinner this week with friends and I feel terrible. But a weekend in York seeing Uni friends (who I haven't seen in a year!) is going to completely wipe out my budget this week. I also haven't seen my Dad since December as he's been travelling in Thailand, so I need to go out for a family meal with him and my brother. And then it's Mothers Day - it's just one thing after the other! Therefore, the clothes have taken a backseat! And I'm not very good at looking and not buying.

I'm expecting this blog to evolve into a travelling blog over the next year rather than the fashion angle it seems to have taken lately. We've planned our route (sort of) and it involves Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Brussels and the Netherlands. Then hopefully we'll go onto Australia and New Zealand! I can't bloody wait, and we've got a whole year to do it in!

I'll try to blog more often but I'm feeling a bit uninspired lately. But I'll try my best.

In the meantime, here is a little treat that Jack bought me from New Look. I can't wait to wear them on Saturday night with my Vero Moda dress.

Ooh, and re Slimming World - I've managed to lose 10lbs so far! That's the weight I gained since being back in Cheltenham. Now I'm hoping to move into unknown territory...

New Look Shoes

I popped into New Look on my lunch break and as usual headed straight for the shoes. I think that New Look have the best selection of footwear on the High Street and always at a bargain price.

I'm normally quite sensible when it comes to shoes. I only really started wearing heels about 2 years ago - shocking I know. When I was a student and going out 2 or 3 nights a week I just wanted to be comfortable, and that meant flat pumps. I can't believe what I used to wear on nights out as a student - there were definitely more than a few dodgy fashion moments. Now I don't feel dressed up if I'm not wearing a pair of heels.

My collection is still quite small as I'm always attracted to shoes that are far too high to walk in, so I just don't bother to buy. However, I came across these two beauties and I couldn't resist. They do seem really high but I've walked around in them and they don't instantly hurt so I decided to treat myself. I only intended to buy one pair but was in New Look for half an hour, alternating between each pair. So bought both thinking the girls at work could decide instead. And they decided I should keep them both - and I agreed!
