The past week
I’ve been appauling with updating recently. I don’t really have much of an excuse either. I suppose the biggest fashion news this week was Kate Moss for Topshop collection being released. Honestly, I am not going to bother doing any posts on it because frankly, I don’t find much of it appealing. You can of course check out various other blogs (such as Fashionologie and Catwalk Queen) for sufficent coverage if you are a Moss fan.
I on the other hand, have been celebrating a birthday and consuming more than I normally do (in the way of shopping not eating).
I’d rather buy things from shops in the sales or when they’re reduced. And Topshop’s buy one get one free offer means I have aquired 4 different garments.
A small browse of Urban Outfitters also saw these shoes (pictured) coming into my ever so small collection. When shoes are reduced from £35 to £9.99, you just can’t say no, even if you can’t walk in heels! At least now, I can learn/practice before the school prom in June (oh yay, what fun… that was sarcasm).
A year ago, my friend and I had a discussion about jelly shoes. I say discussion, but it was more exclamations about how wonderous these shoes were in our childhood and how we wished they made them is bigger sizes. The people surrounding us just looked at us as if we’d lost our minds, but neither one of us cared. Jelly shoes were the most amazing things when we were children - they had the ability to allow your feet to get completely soaked at the seaside, but still protect you from pointy rocks and stones etc. That day we both agreed that we would try and hunt some down and of course we had no luck. We even laughed about how in a year’s time, jelly shoes would be back.
Sure enough, we were right and whilst I am not going to start claiming we were the ones who started it or the ones who were there first (because people like that have a tendency to annoy me), I can excitedly pronounce, WE WERE RIGHT!!
