Shoe Fiend!

First things first, Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you had a fantastic day yesterday and got everything you wanted!

Im smitten with my lovely gifts and loved hearing that everyone loved the things i'd bought for them, always makes it all the more worthwhile when you see their smiling faces :)

Anyway, i promised you a fashion post so here it is! I obviously didn't have my brain switched on when it came to pack my suitcase to come home, as the shoes i picked out were definitely not suitable and have resulted in extremely cold numb toes for several days!

However, i've found the perfect solution! A pair of Camilla Skovgaard boots, complete with super-grip soles! What beauties and perfect for staying up-right in the snow (although the 4.5 inch heels may mean you fall over anyway!) But still, you might as well fall over in style right?

Im having a bit of an obsession over buckles at the moment too which had lead me to fall in love with the Chloe Sevigny boots for Opening Ceremony! They're gorgeous and sexy with the perfect amount of attitude and would look amazing with my new Christopher Kane for Topshop dress!! Definitely on my wish list!

My final find are these tough looking lace up heels by Toga, designed for Opening Ceremony. They look so angry and aggressive and the metal detailing on the buckles is fantastic. You definitely have to have attitude to pull off these baby's!

Sheffield!

Well yesterday was full of fun watching the snow fall and cover everything in its magical white blanket, while my dad moaned about not being able to drive anywhere due to rear wheel drive and blah blah...i switched off!

So today i ventured out in the snow in my very unsuitable-for-snow brogues and made my way to town to meet the boy. We enjoyed a hot toasty Starbucks and i got the official run down of hisnew iPhone :p it was all quite fun, definitely more interesting apps available than the blackberry! Theres only so excited you can get about apps that organise your calendar!

Got the Christmas shopping done too - bonus!

Sheffield looked surprisingly pretty this year with the Christmas lights! The boy snapped a quick pic on the iphone and app-ed it up as you can see below. Doesnt it looks pretty :)

Also including an updated snow collage!

Anyway, i feel i am rambling just for ramblings sake so i will leave it at that for now! I really need to start making this thing more fashiony again! I feel its beginning to loose it and become full of my blabbings!

Note to Self: Next post will be fashion!

Home Time

Ok so i haven't blogged in a while what with having to pack up my life so i can come home for Christmas and getting my new BLACKBERRY STORM set up!! Im in love, its true. Its shiny and new and i've fallen for it comlpetely :)

Anyway, as i said i'm now home, back up north in snowy Sheffield! I love coming back home to my family, my amazing bed, a beautiful Christmas tree and a fully stocked fridge full of yummy food! Oh and a bunch of beautiful flowers courtesy of my wonderful father! Thank you daddy!

Still have all my christmas shopping to do on my very limited budget too which should be... interesting to say the least!

Its still snowing here so my garden looks beautiful, especially with all the squirrels and little birds playing in the trees and pecking for food :)

Well that's all for now. Just chilling and playing with the blackberry for now! Im off to meet the boy tomorrow for a nice warm Starbucks and a bit of a phone swapping session! He's just acquired an iPhone so we're now considered phone enemies :p mwahaha Should be fun!

Samantha Cole

Just stumbled upon this designer... well the images to be more precise!

The London College of Fashion graduate aims to create a statement and go against the norm. The philosophy behind her designs is to interpret a mood, deconstruct the obvious and redefine the concept.

The result: surreal, silhouettes, striking, sculpture and surprisingly wearable!

This collection entitled 'Warrior' took influences from Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, Tina Turner in Mad Max and Jane Fonda in Barbarella.

I love the silhouettes the pieces create and this strong powerful almost alien feel about it. Very cool.

My life for the next two weeks: Dissertation

I'm beginning to see why people dread this thing so much.

I currently have 9 more books sat on my table screaming 'dull, dull, dull'.

Page after page with zero pictures too! Geez, these oldie theorists could have at least doodled in the margins.

What a bore...

Friday Fun (Part Trois)

The day's finale was ice skating at somerset house with DJ set by the one and only Mr Matthew Stone! It was so much fun! I've only ever been ice skating once before but Liam had been quite a bit so he was mouch more confident than i was! I was so nervous about falling splat on my bum infront of the whole ice rink! But all was good, and not splattage was made!

We were let into the boot-collecting-pen and when the clock struck 21:15, we were unleashed onto the ice and the sound of Under Ice Baby (David Bowie VS Vanilla Ice) began to fill the square! So amazing! We were off! Everyone started off really slow, clinging onto the edge but as we gradually gained confidence we got quicker and ventured to the middle! The atmosphere was amazing, everyone was so happy, the lighting was perfect and the music really set the mood! A mix of Lady Gaga, La Roux, Mariah Carey, The Pogues and Vanilla Ice Vs David Bowie were all thrown in. Liam even grabbed a photo of Matthew Stone and got him to take on of us too :)

It was a perfect day :) Put me in a very Christmasy mood! Cant wait to go home and get into the Christmas spirit now :D

Friday Fun (-interjection-)

What the hell is going on with the Carnaby lights this year?!? They're awful! They look like the left overs from chinese new year or something. Certainly not in the least bit Christmasy! (Excuse the crappy picture!)
