Golf?.. Nah Shoes!

I was at a Gala day last week with my boyfriend and his family. Unknowingly, they had included me in a raffle. It is a known fact in my family that I always win raffles, so it was unsurprising when I heard my name above the mutter of voices.

Out of all the wonderful prizes, such as, hotel stays/holidays, I won a game of golf for 4 at a local golf club. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to win but my exclamation of "I don't even play golf!" let everyone know what I was thinking. There were, in turn, a few giggles at my expense.

But my boyfriend, the avid golfer he is, offered to take the prize and buy me something in exchange. What did I choose? SHOES of course!

We are going away on holiday on July 16th to Morocco and I desperately wanted some wedges to accompany me! It didn't take me long to find after I knew they would be free!

Locally, we have a store named Outfit which stock, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse and Dorothy Perkins. Having a casual look around, I spotted out of the corner of my eye the most beautiful coral wedges I have ever seen! They were absolutely PERFECT and so lush! I toddled over, between running and walking while trying not to look like an over excited seal and tried them on straight away.

I had totally made my mind up and at £45 I thought they were such a bargain! Of course I text my boyfriend straight away - and the next day they were mine!
I have worn them everyday since and they are one of the few shoes I can wear all night/day without having to turn to flipflops or dolly shoes for rescue!

Take a look ! -

My long awaited Ebay purchases have finally arrived and I couldn't wait to show you my goodies!!

1. I have a skater skirt similar to this in black and after looking everywhere in the shops to no success, I decided to turn to Ebay. I am going to wear this high-waisted so it will come to about 4 inches above the knee. It has an elasticated waistband ensuring it has a comfortable fit, and beautiful black patent belt. The material is a rich cotton and relatively thick meaning its not see through!!  You can find this skirt in many different colours from this seller . At £7.99 the value is fabulous, and the cheap price does not match the garment in quality. It was delivering in less than a week - so very reliable. I LOVE this skirt and can't wait to pair it with a Bandeau when I go out, or a Tshirt for a casual look. What would you pair it with?

2. I have finally given into the trend and bought a sideways cross ring. I managed to find an Ebay seller through Victoria's blog. (Check it out, she is the total Ebay guru!). Again, this was delivered at lightening speed - so impressed. This ring is available from this seller. It is adjustable which means the ring can fit on any pair of your fingers. I also find that my fingers change size at different times of the year - Does anyone else get that? I'd love to know, just to clarify I am not some kind of mutant!

3. I have had bad luck with phone covers and if your anything like me it is essential you have one. I am so clumsy I drop my phone at least once a day. I purchased my last cover from one of the market stalls in my local town about 5 months ago - however, the back started to peel off and look quite tacky. It was definitely time I got a new one! I was looking for one that was understated and "mature" - if I can describe it like that! I thought this cover was beautiful and took influence from Gucci/Louis Vuitton-esque. Its leather style back was exactly what I was looking for. You can get ones similar to these from here.
