The Giant Shoe Clearance

Image
I'm so sorry for the disappearing act this past week or so. Time has just got away from me every single day and last week I was super busy trying to tackle the multi-pile shoe mountain that has developed over the past few months in my bedroom! It's no small task, but I'm desperate for both space and money; so the time came to sell as much as I could. I always find it difficult to let go of my belongings and try to do so before I become too 'attached'. I still struggled immensely with this lot though!  I've sold sooo much over the past couple of years, that I'm really down to the items I love and treasure. Anyway, last week I snapped away, took measurements and listed as much as I could fit into one day! There are tonnes of shoes, a couple of handbags and some cosmetics, all ending tomorrow (Sunday). You could snap up some brand new Irregular Choice shoes including the gorgeous So-Yeon Sarah platforms, the red glitter shoes that still remain one of...

PPQ for Office Autumn/Winter 2011

Image
The new PPQ for Office collection is out and I'd say it's very much split in two or actually maybe even three categories. You have the sleeker, more 'ladylike' styles of the Isabella shoe-boot in black or pewter and the Temperence courts in red or black. It's a pity they hadn't used coloured sections on both pairs, rather than all-black. Then you have a complete contradiction to that with with the Aurelia creepers (black or purple), Millicent wedge boot, clumpy platforms and 'almost wedges' like Comenius (pewter or black), Palantine (purple or black) and the fabulous Demetrius boot with pirate style buckles. In between those contrasting styles are a bridge in the form of the clumpy but girly Oriana platforms and Patience courts (red or black), which wouldn't look out of place on Gaga in her Judas phase. Personally I like Patience, Oriana, Demetrius and Millicent as well as the Isabella and Temperence, although they're probably not unique e...

I'm Almost Back

Image
Hi! Still no computer and I'm starting to want to strangle the guys in the shop-no joke! It feels like we're being held to ransom though, because we've already been charged for the initial work they did and now our computer is sitting in bits (with them), so we could take it back and lose the money we've already paid and have a computer in pieces or wait until they properly fix it. Not much of a choice really. They assured me it would be ready on Saturday afternoon, but I've been hearing the same story for weeks. My parents are on their hols now though, so nobody can pick it up this week (I can't carry it by myself). So it'll be another week, I'm afraid. I thought I could try blogging a little in the meantime. I don't have my camera installed on my sisters laptop and both my camera memory cards are now full of photos I've taken in the past few weeks anyway-but I figured I could at least blog items that don't require 'real' phot...

PPQ For Office

Image
I hope you're all very proud of me-I haven't purchased anything online for over 2 weeks! I've even paid my sister back for all the money she lent me last year. I'm still repaying Mum, but getting there. Only problem is, this week sees the release of so many fabulous collections. I've been avoiding MAC like the plague in preparation for Wonder Woman and Viva Glam Gaga 2. Then there's Glamour magazine with their 10th birthday issue and a free Clinique item with every issue (10 different types to collect)...the mag is only £2 a copy, but £20 if you're wanting all 10 like me! We have the Pearl Lowe/Peacocks range in April and a hot new designer/high street collab...in the form of PPQ for Office . The black and gold embroidered heels and wedges (above) were first spotted on the PPQ SS11 catwalk. They have a definite Moroccan feel, as most of the collection does. The wedges in particular have such an unusual design, with an almost 'cut-off' feel along the ...
