Pink Haired Princess

I am multi-tasking to the extreme today peeps! I've got a ton of auctions ending on eBay, so am dealing with the sold items (getting all the details, checking payment, emailing back and forth and then parcelling them up), while listing some more items and re-listing the non-sellers. Add to that, writing this blog post and now all I need to work out is how to watch X-Factor, pack for going away tomorrow, eat something, paint my nails and deal with all those eBay parcels, all at once!  Hmmm, doubtful, I'll manage all that. I've even remembered to properly queue some posts on Tumblr for the next couple of days and have charged my toothbrush, camera battery and mp3! Anyway you come here for shoes, not my life story and boy have I got some awesome ones for you today. Here are the joyous pair that I finally got my hands on, that have helped mend my broken heart after the Meadham Kirchhoff/Topshop disappointment (they're already processing my refund, so top marks for de...

After my swatch request last month, I had another from Lissa Jaye  this time, regarding a YSL lipstick. I immediately came up with some comparisons, but finding the time to write it up has taken longer than I expected, so I apologise for that. I do love getting these requests though (and would kinda like to make it a regular feature) and will respond but it might take some time to fit it in around everything else. Hint-hint if they're lipsticks or pencils or something really easy to swatch then I'm likely to respond quicker : ) So Lissa wanted to know if I knew of any dupes for YSL Rouge Pur in 126 Cashmere Pink/Rose Cachemire. If it's because this line is now discontinued then the perfect dupe is YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 09 Rose Stiletto, the 'newer' version if you like. It's a really good match in colour. However if you're looking for a cheaper alternative then I have some close but not perfect dupes. My product photos aren't that hot (my c...

So here are my Meadham Kirchhoff goodies that arrived from Topshop on Saturday. Weeks of stressing, a few hours of unsettled sleep, a late night, an early start, a helluva lot of money and a near heart attack and computer thrown through the window in rage from the pressure on the day of the sale and I'm afraid to report it's not all good news from here. The red sparkly shoes, the pair I really wanted, don't fit. I thought they looked small whenever I took their colourful quirkiness out of the box, but actually my foot slipped in Cinderella style and they hugged my feet perfectly. The straps had other ideas though. They fasten with a metal stud, so it's hit or miss, there's no room for manoeuvre. I could get all but one strap fastened (and none on the other foot strangely) and the other strap isn't even close to closing. Absolutely gutted. Add to that the fact one stud is already broken (not sure if it was already like that or if I broke it open...

Despite being so excited about these hauls at the time, it's taken me ages to finish the post. It's an extremely daunting task as it's taken three different days of photographing and consists of nearly 80 (finished) photos, two hauls, a gift with purchase and the Christmas beauty box! I'd finished editing the photos a couple of weeks ago, but just didn't know where to start with writing it up and that's been the stumbling block for me. I can't tell you the amount of times the tab has been open and at the end of the day, I've closed it without adding any words! I'm on a mission to complete it today though, because for starters everything in it is absolutely wonderful and well worth reading about. So grab a cuppa and feast your eyes on all these wonderful goodies. I've already shown you the lipsticks and nail polish I ordered online from Debenhams , along with the GWP, so for more details on that, click here . These purchases that I'm a...
