My pick of the best ASOS shoes - 50% off

1. Flatform ankle boots £22.50 | 2. Buckled knee boots £54 FAITH | 3. Spotted high top trainers £32.50 CONVERSE | 4. Patent flatform brogues £28.50 | 5. Studded chelsea boots £33 | 6. Studded western boots £75 PARK LANE | 7. Flatform ankle boots £29

So I discovered yesterday that ASOS have 50% off on some of their shoes - 1720 of them, in fact.  Now I knew I wouldn't be buying any as money is non-existent in my life right now, but I couldn't help having a browse.  It doesn't hurt to pretend, right?  I didn't bother looking at the heels as, even though I can appreciate a sexy shoe heel or not, I'm not a heels kinda' girl.  So I just checked the boxes next to 'flat shoes', 'trainers' and 'boots' and off I went.  Sometimes I can go through pages and not see anything I like, and other times I will be clicking on every other thing and be adding it to my wishlist.  This was one of those times.  ASOS do amazing discounts and they make it really, really, hard to not buy something.  Trust me, I've been there and bought numerous t-shirts.  And then some.  I mean, the studded western boots are still £75, but they have been reduced from £120, which is a puh-ritty big amount, letting you appreciate the price of them much more.
If I was lucky enough to be able to pick one from this lot, I think I'd go for the monochrome brogue flatforms.  They're different to any other shoes I own and would be so versatile - you could team them with a pair of cropped, printed trousers or add a masculine edge to a feminine dress.  Lovely.

Now I'm not sure when this whole 50% off thing finishes, but it's been on for a few days so I'm guessing not for much longer.  Have you bought anything?  Will you be doing?

Boyfriend shirt

Oversized checkered shirt: HEARTS & BOWS via ARK (c/o) | Skinny leather trousers: RIVER ISLAND | Glasses: eBay | Shoes: CONVERSE

Sometimes, there's nothing better than the good old big-shirt-skinny-pants combination, maybe you agree, maybe you don't, but I just feel effortlessly cool, and maybe even a little bit sexy, in this ensemble.  Plus, my rule has always, always, been 'if you go baggy on one half, go tight on the other'.  I mean, it just makes sense. I am thoroughly enjoying making my way through my wardrobe and teaming every top I own with these pants.  There's no order to it, I just happen to think 'right, I'm wearing the leather pants today, now just pick the first shirt you see.'  Today, it's this shirt.  A gift from Ark a few months ago, I chose it because I was lacking a checked shirt in my clothes collection (and it's just one of those items that every girl should have, right?) and I liked the oversized look of this one.  It was even bigger before it shrunk in the wash, but let's forget that part.
You might notice a new addition to my face.  No, I didn't listen to the adverts and made a trip to Specsavers, they've actually been passed down from my mother, who bought them for 99p off eBay.  I can't get enough off them and even wear them around the house just to make myself feel cool.  Totally loving the whole geek chic look at the moment, next on the list is some braces.  I think they look great with these leather pants as leather pants aren't usually associated with being geeky, more, erm, fetishy.  So the contrast is definitely there.
I am really enjoying being home.  I've done practically nothing since Thursday, and I am bloody loving it.  I have been doing a lot of baking though, I even started baking at something past midnight last night whilst watching the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' (AMAZING FILM ok?!) so that was pretty damn good.
Hope you're having a nice weekend!

New ASOS purchases

Tiger silk sweatshirt with chain & Flatform studded biker boots: ASOS

I adore these purchases.  I know I only showed you a big shopping haul a few days ago, and the day after that I showed you my new pair of Converse.  Oh man, if shopping was a sin, I would have definitely been a naughty girl.  I bought these two things last weekend, and since I've been in Manchester all week I only just saw them yesterday.  I could not be more pleased.  When I saw these boots it was love at first sight, I knew I was going to end up buying them, so I thought 'Well I might as well just add them to my basket now'.  And as is the way with online shopping, once you add one thing, you have to add another (that can't just be me...?), which is where this sweater comes in.  Everything about this top makes it so spot on that it hurts.  The print, the beautiful colours, the luxe silky fabric, the chain... They all work so extremely well together, making it immediately move up to the number one item in my wardrobe.  I cannot wait to start wearing these with a range of different things.
Oh ASOS, my love for you just keeps on growing.

If you're interested, I bought both of these in a size-up and they fit perfectly!
