On the Wishlist - snakeskin shoes

Just spotted these beauties on topshop.com 

 I love them so much, It's the pointy heel, the snake print, the height, everything. They would be perfect paired with my blue skinny jeans, loose black jersey top and some statement earrings. I would buy them but I don't go out enough to justify adding to my heel collection, and sadly I'm not one of those glamourous ladies who wears heels during the day.

Maybe I'll treat myself at the end of February if they are still in stock.

Topshop  'Ambush'

Penneys (Primark)

Topshop 'Abe'

Went on a bit of a boot buying craze in October. I am really happy with all of these items so far, I have already worn my Ambush boots from Topshop to death!! They are unbelievably comfy,even though they have a small heel, my feet are actually less sore wearing these for a whole day in work than when I wear my converse. Ah-Mazing . Think I'm going on a shopping free month for November....... try and save some money for New York and Christmas, both of which are approaching very quickly. Come on bank account , fatten yourself up!

Winter Wardrobe

Here are some of my purchases from September. I was getting ready for the big chill.....and what happens? we get 'an Indian Summer'. The other day was 26 degrees celsius, hottest day of the year so far!! Just when the leaves have started to turn golden and start to litter the paths, we in Ireland, experienced a delayed summer. Odd. It quickly returned to typical Irish weather though, lashing rain for the past two days, and I'm not complaining. I don't enjoy seasonally confused weather!

fur-ocious

both from topshop (not real fur!)

I love love love fur in the winter time! Of course I  would never buy real fur, the fake stuff is so good these days there is absolutly no need. And I strongly disagree with mink farming and any animals being killed for their fur. It's disgusting.

Saying that, I do have two beautiful mink coats that belonged to my Granny and they were given to me. It's a dilemma because I could never throw them away, I never got to meet my Granny and they mean a lot to me but I almost feel guilty thinking about wearing them.

On one hand the coats have been around since the 1940's, there is nothing I can do to save those animals, they've been dead a long time....but then am I a hypocrite if I wear them?

What do you guys think?

Pay Day

This month has been 5 weeks long! To make matters worse, I've strictly adhered to a spending ban for the month of July, I've bought nothing fun or fashionable, no meals out, no going out, no being frivolous with my money. Reason being I'm going on holiday to Egypt in August for 2 weeks and I want to be able to shop over there and I also just booked flights to New York for December, so I'm pretty much cleaned out. boohoo. I shouldn't complain as I've lots to look forward to but it has been a long month and i'm looking forward to this months payday so I can treat myself ( just a little!)

First stop will be Topshop for these booties beauties:
