Nike Roshe Run

I've just purchased these lovely running aides known as the Nike Roshe Runs, and I am in LOVE. Although I am planning on using them for running they will most definitely be trotting their way into my regular wardrobe. Being blessed with hobbit like child feet I managed to bag myself a bargain with the junior collection. I'm not sure if they do this colour in the adult collection with the silver nike  tick, but I know they do the black and white,  my fave thing about them with my metallic love this month.

Klear Klutch Kraving

One item I'm seriously lusting after this month are these really cute clutch bags from Klear Klutch, they're so simple and look so chic with loads of outfits. I really like how they've incorporated the opaque purse section which not only looks good but skirts around the awkward issue of the whole world seeing the lack of cash in ones bag after splashing out on one of these striking bag

Klear Klutch Kraving

Klear Klutch Kraving by so-splurge

Here in lies a major downside to this clutch, even in the ASOS sale they're a wallet breaking (for a poor student anyway) £69.00 - £80.50, with the RRP usually £115. I have searched and searched for a cheaper alternative but it would appear Klear Klutch has the monopoly on this secret compartment take on the clear clutch. Despite the extortionate price tag my fingers are itching to press order and have one on my arm (or in my hand) very soon, although even my powers of justifying purchases may not stretch this far.

Park Life

Helloo, back again! Sorry I've not posted in a while I have been working at Aintree for the Grand National, it was a rather interesting experience. Safe to say that the ladies of Liverpool either get it completely right for the races or they do it very, very....very wrong. Some of the dresses/drunken antics not to mention the shameful VPLs and the far too familiar orange "glow" were just far from lady like I'm petitioning for the day to be renamed. It was a painful three days for a fashion blogger but I managed to keep my improvements (or overhauls) to myself . Despite this I have not lost all faith and I will persevere bringing, what I hope is a slightly different take on fashion for the Liverpool ladies.

Oversized Denim Jacket | Vintage
Glitter Babe Jelly Shoes | JuJu
Gold Chain Bag | Forever 21
This is my latest casual wear, something I put on for a walk in the park with some of my friends enjoying the lovely weather last week in Liverpool. I'm sure I've worn a few of these items in my other looks but as I'd not posted for a while thought I should put something current up. My work at the races will be going straight on new clothes to fill my already over flowing wardrobe.

Dip-Dye Days

Summer is really coming on now, my feet aren't freezing in sandals and you don't look like that hollywood wannabe when sporting sunglasses on a sunny day and I can finally wear one of my favourite purchases of the year, this gorgeous dip-dye Religion dress.
Dip-Dye Maxi Dress | Religion
Faux Leather Jacket | Topshop
Sandals | Office
Bag | Forever 21
I've been waiting so long to wear this and now I finally can. I spotted in the January sales (so prepare I know) and as Religion is one of my favourite makes I just couldn't resist. I also bought another long plaid maxi that I'm sure I'll get a picture of soon. I just love their grungy but girly look that all their pieces have and this dress is no exception and will surely be a key piece of my summer wardrobe.

Radio Nowhere

I am gearing up for summer and hoping it's coming soon, with the clocks going forward and emerging into official British summer time I'm praying it's just over the horizon (if we actually get one this year). This is an outfit I wore on a  lovely sunny day last week when my boyfriend came to visit, have to always wear a small heal with him as I'm 5ft 3" and he is 6ft 3", quite a height difference! Incase you haven't noticed yet my main obsession in life is shoes, I can't get enough of them. I will usually start by picking out what shoes I'm going to wear for the day then base my outfit around it, but can one can never be too obsessed with shoes!
Crop Cami | Topshop
Plaid Shirt | Urban Outfitters
Paris Woven Chelsea Boots | Topshop Premium
These boots are one of my favourites in my shoe arsenal I only wear them on very special occasions as they're not the most comfy, had some killer blisters last time I wore them, but they're just too leave alone for too long. I wear this top soo much it was one of my best buys last summer from Topshop, it's just the right length of crop not too long and not too short (for those bloated days) and literally goes with everything. Check out my Lookbook and hype below for more of what I'm wearing!

Magpie Metallics



Get your spaceman on this spring with metallics and hologram all around. A good place to start when trying out a trend is with a bag and this clutch is one of my favourites, adding an eye catching accent to any outfit, with the rainbow holographic material making it very difficult to clash but creates a great focal point. The rainbow holographic trend also stretches to the gorgeous chunky sandals from spylovebuy, I am definitely going to get myself some of those. 

Although I was first skeptical of the "ugly" sandals spreading across the nation this fashion has actually grown on me, especially with these gold metallic Birkenstocks having a not so ugly take on the trend. They would look great with just black jeans and a tee for a laid back look, with the added bonus of extreme comfort they are putting an end to sore feet one fashonista at a time! Combining two more of this seasons hottest is this Topshop Metallic Sunflower Skort. Origami skirts seem to be everywhere since they first appeared on the high street in Zara, quickly disappearing off the shelves never to be seen again....until some savvy buyer cottoned on and they came back erupting onto every shops hangers never to be sold out again. Not that I am complaining, this skirt will be a key part of my summer wardrobe. You will never go wrong teaming metallics with a short chain necklace or some quirky sunglasses (as we are talking spring trends, with all that sun we get in England) and you're read to shine (just beware of magpies).

Thailand Bound

Thailand Planing
This was how I spent my day yesterday sat in a Oomoo cafe up the road from me, with delicious savoury muffin and plenty of coffee and moroccan mint tea, even treating myself to a cake later in the day.
Yummy Cheese and Pickle Muffin with Coleslaw 
All this was in aid of planning my month long trip to Thailand, you may notice two laptops in the picture below and that's because I'm setting off on this adventure with my boyfriend Christian, we are extremely excited a day of pure planning and lovely food was much needed. We plan to go up north first Chiang Mai and take in the beautiful jungle and take some cooking classes so learn proper Thai cooking, as I love the food so much should really learn how to cook it myself! After we're heading to the south and possibly completing out PADI open water diving and visiting the islands and Krabi down there. Also visiting every national park and temple in-between  I'll be so Zen by the time I get back even a bad hair day won't derail me. If anyone has any advice on where do go please drop me a message!
