Pink Haired Princess

I completely overspent in the run up to Christmas, more so than usual. My present shopping seems to follow the pattern of 'one for you, one for me' which as fun as that is, it's never a good thing for the old bank balance! I think the changes to my income this year (a LOT less money) has just hit me and so I need to seriously look at spending less (which would help if I didn't have an eye for expensive thangs)! Anyway, sale time was a no-buy zone for me, although I did allow myself the one purchase; something I'd been prepared to pay full price for but waited on the off-chance it would be reduced. A few days before Christmas and that was the case, lucky me! The shoes are called ' Sophie ' and are from Topshop. I first saw, well actually my Mum saw and pointed them out to me in the Dundee store when we'd popped in at the beginning of December. There was one pair only; a size 5 (my size), fate you might think. Except these shoes are crazy vertic...

I completely forgot Dancing On Ice was on the telly last night. I can't say I'm usually a fan of the show, but since Christmas the TV has been dire, so watching some Z-lister fall over and see what Holly Willoughby is wearing is better than nothing. I was browsing her latest Very collection last week. I'm impressed again, lots of lovely prints, tea dresses, flattering cuts and Holly looks fabulous (as always). I'm getting rather worked up over a couple of dresses from Fearne Cotton's range on the site though. This lilac one (£59) in particular. Absolutely to die for! I love the colour, the war-time vintage feel-it's just totally me and unlike the black and white polka dot one I loved last season, it's not backless (yipee). I really, really want it!! Like really, really ! I also like this little peplum number (also £59) below, it's quite unusual isn't it? Not as much as the lilac though....please be mine....pretty please....!
