Shoes: Leopard print 'Kitten' Irregular Choice Loves Heatherette
Well a little bit of an unusual foot image for you today. Yesterday I went shopping and didn't have time to take pics before leaving and the battery had died on the 'real' camera, so I had to rely on my mobile and didn't really get a decent shot. Other than this sneaky one when Mum and I stopped for some J20 and a big block of chocolate cake in Debenhams. Yep, that's my wheelchair foot-rest you can just spot-how freakin' fashionable!! Anyways, my hair....didn't entirely turn out as I'd hoped. I couldn't decide whether to go for grey or lilac and in the end mixed some silver with lilac and this was the outcome. It's a gorgeous iced lilac but unfortunately the roots haven't taken for some reason (you can't really see here). It's annoying me already, so I'm going to have to try something to fix it. Not the cute first pic I was hoping for : ( Oh and look how shiny my nails looked...this is my new fave colour Sophie's Pink by Models Own and I don't know how my nails suddenly got so pimpin'...probably just jinxed it and they'll break now!
Wearing: Orange floral dress F&F at Tesco, leggings and horse scarf Primark, cardi Be Beau at Matalan, shell bag River Island, 3 woodland animals ring set, bird on a branch ring and bow brooch all Topshop (I think), owl and stag rings Primark and flat owl ring (from set) H&M.
Fit: True to size, 4" heel, slip on.
Comfort: Really easy to walk in and comfortable.

Day 613 - If I Wasn't A Celebrity, Would You Be So Nice To Me?
Shoes: Turquoise 'Kitty Princess' Irregular Choice
I may be making some mistakes while typing this because I'm not wearing my glasses as I have a head full of hair-dye! I just wanted to get this done before washing it out. I went out with my newly blonde hair today and actually although this was only a step towards the final colour, I could get used to it. I've been bleach-blonde before and I think had I been able to style this it would've looked alright. It looks a bit frazzled here because I can't put conditioner in before this dye, so newly bleached hair without conditioner is bound to be a little fuzzy! I forgot how difficult it can be to adjust your makeup to the new colour though-I felt like a mixture of a drag queen, a Barbie doll and Alice in Wonderland and not in a good way! I'm not sure what the outcome will be once I wash off this colour, it's drying a strange shade which I'm sure isn't indicative of the end-colour but we'll see. Think I'm going shopping tomorrow, so the post will probably be late.
Wearing: Floral dress Dorothy Perkins, black leggings and bird scarf Primark, cardigan Be Beau at Matalan.
Fit: True to size, just over 1" platform and 5" heel, button fastening.
Comfort: Rubbed at the back of my feet (well only one foot actually).

Day 612 - I Just Want You To Father My Young
Shoes: Green lace 'Ella' Terry De Havilland
Whilst on the subject yesterday of most treasured shoes-it reminded me that these are another pair that I would do anything to 'save', if their life were in jeopardy! I just absolutely adore them and don't wear them enough (which is something I'm going to remedy, because there's no reason not to, they're so comfy and I think you should wear your fancy shoes whenever you want). Say 'goodbye' to my hair, which started the day like this (below) and ended up extremely blonde bordering on white (see FB or Tumblr for pic). Today I'm putting the colour on, I keep changing my mind between two ideas-so I'm not sure which I'll pick or if it will even work. I have to say the more I see the blonde, the more that's growing on me!
Wearing: Polka-dot dress New Look, cardigan, leggings and hat all Primark.
Fit: True to size. Heel 5 1/4" and 1" platform.
Comfort: No issues with these, other than the laces are very 'slippy' and can come undone (even in double knots as I found!).

Day 611 - I Only Need You When My Heart Is Beating
Shoes: Turquoise poodle ankle boots Irregular Choice
Was feeling a bit rough yesterday-the starts of a cold (sore throat, light-headed and lethargic), so didn't have time to get this post up. You know when people say 'which item would you save in a fire?', well obviously you would get yourself and family to safety and not grab anything (I'm a grand-daughter and niece of firemen can't you tell!)...but in the vain of 'most favourite/treasured belonging', these boots would definitely be up there (with a few others). I would be gutted if anything ever happened to them, plus they're hard to find nowadays to replace, which makes them all the more valuable to me. They're everything I like all rolled into one boot, the colours are fabulous and the poodles adorable! I can even forgive the lack of platform, for the cute slim wedge heel and the fact they're so comfy. Do you have any shoes you'd be devastated if you lost?
Wearing: Scenic print dress New Look, vest, leggings and hat all Primark, cardigan Be Beau at Matalan.
Fit: Just over 4" slim wedge heel, true to size. Can be worn several ways.
Comfort: No problems with these.

Day 610 - Got A Hangover Like Too Much Vodka
Shoes: 'Pat's Picnic' Irregular Choice
Hi, sorry for the no-posts for days, I've been in my jammies three days straight and never left the house because I had tonnes to do! I had a nice long shower this morning and put on makeup and a pretty dress, which was a pleasant change. It's pretty chilly though, so I had to change the footwear for something a little warmer than I'd first intended-this was as much skin as I was willing to expose to the winds! I left my hair straight after washing it as I'm preparing for colouring it. Excuse the unfinished look of it here, I just let it dry naturally and haven't applied any styling products as it needs to be 'clean' before bleaching. I'm glad I've left the colour untouched for the past 3 months because I'm going to be a little mean to it and bleach it like mad...not entirely sure what I'm doing after that, but have a vague idea. Stay tuned!
Wearing: Pink polka dot bow dress F&F at Tesco, black leggings, vest and cardigan Primark, belt Dorothy Perkins.
Fit: Feel quite small, I took a size-up just to be sure. Heel just under 5 1/2" with a 2" platform.
Comfort: Easy to walk in.
