Does A Shoe Say Something About You?

Black high platform shoes

Cream metallic cuff stud heels

Black studded sandals

All shoes from Dorothy Perkins

Along with heading to the market this weekend, the girlies and I went on a a little shoe hunt. Who can resist the lure of the summer sales? The three shoes above were all on sale at Dorothy Perkins - we almost set up camp in the shop for the night - so many pretty clothes!

Can you match the shoe with the girl?
I'll even give you a little insight into all of our personalities...

Raymy - she loves all things smart, simple and nautical. She believes you can never have too many pairs of ballet flats, or hairbands. I have never seen anyone to layer clothes as perfectly as she can, she is a jersey queen.

Sonya - she believes that form should follow function. She loves her car more than her wardrobe, and her fiance more than her car. She rocks the most amazing bangs but has taken to pinning them back for the last few months. Bring back the bangs S! Oh... she owns more pairs of jeans than you could possible imagine.

And then me - I love big earrings and even bigger rings. I can't go a day without coffee. I buy more shoes than I could ever possible wear and feel happy to just put them on display and look at them. I also own more handbags then the other two girls put together. I have finally embraced wearing dresses.

Only one of us actually bought the shoes we loved. For a bonus point can you guess which shoe was bought?

Had a Nice Day

Raymy and myself went for a little wander yesterday around the city center, it being a lazy Sunday and all, and we decided to start our wander at the newly refurbished Milk Market. To be honest - I really wanted to call and see Ruth's new stand at the market.

The new market site is so pretty and fresh looking, and even though the market has only been open a few weeks and every stand wasn't occupied there was a lovely atmosphere to the space. I predict that the Friday, Saturday and Sunday markets will only get bigger and bigger as the summer progresses.

I decided to treat myself to several of Ruth's beautiful badges (if you want to get some, and can't get to the market, Ruth has a great shop on etsy). The 'Domestic Goddess' one was a present for S (she did a monster clean up in our house this week - Thank you S!), the 'Tea' one is most definitely for me and I saw the bulldog badge and just couldn't help but think of Naomi, Josh and, of course, Kingsley over at the Rockstar Diaries. I must get their address and send it over to them.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

I honestly do not believe that there is anyone in the fashion blogsphere who does not know Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. She is just a pint sized portion of fashion perfection.

I was over at IndieLimerick this morning and I just had to share something with you.

A whole Josh Ritter setlist from the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C.

Kat Von D is one of my all time favourite pretty girls.

Just look at her - she's stunning!

Kat is involved with Sephora and these photos were taken as promos for her range of fragrances and make up.

But....

Have you ever wondered what Kat would look like without all the tats?

Just look below...

The majority of my data for my thesis has just landed on my lap and I'm sorry to say that the posts will be very short and sweet for a week or two.

So to keep the loving thoughts out in the blogsphere here is a great, simple cartoon from Dan Wheeler.

A Morning Routine

source

What's your morning routine?

Do you like to crank up the stereo and dance around your room while you get dressed, or do you like to sit and enjoy a quiet cup of tea before heading out into the world, or do you throw on whatever clothes you can find and rush out the door at the last minute?

Most mornings I hit the snooze button at least once before getting up and dragging myself into the shower. By the time I have my hair washed I have figured out what kind of humour I'm in, and by the time I'm drying off I usually have figured out the majority of my outfit for the day.

Back into my rather messy and stuffy room and I open the curtains and window to let in a little fresh air (one of the downfalls of having a room that faces the sun in the morning* ) and start hunting in my overflowing wardrobe for whatever items I need to get dressed. Once dressed I blow dry my hair if I'm leaving it down, if I'm pinning it up I leave it damp (I'm lazy about my hair most days), put on a little make-up, sometimes foundation, sometimes eye shadow, sometimes blush, always mascara and lip balm, rummage in the wardrobe for a bag to match my outfit and transfer the contents of yesterdays bag into it. I rarely leave the house without some form of jewelry on.

I head downstairs to see who else is awake in the house and to see if anyone wants to car pool into college (it's easier to get parking if you car pool). I usually forget about having breakfast at home but sometimes remember to throw a cereal bar or yogurt or apple into my bag, I fill up a travel mug with coffee and I'm out the door doing a mental checklist of purse - keys - phone.

Isn't it amazing how habits form? What morning habits are ingrained in you?
