Nails of the day - Juicy Blue

I decided to go for a combo of my favourite Models Own shades and created a gorgeous subtle sparkly finish. I layered Beth's Blue under the Classic Juicy Jules and this was the outcome.

Chloe Green at Topshop


Being heir to the Arcadia fortune must be a bit like being a princess. So Chloe Green is one lucky lucky girl. Daughter of the mega-minted Sir Philip Green, CEO of the Arcadia brand, Chloe was bound to become famous in her own right sooner or later. And who can blame her?? I can't honestly say that if my dad owned Topshop I wouldn't want in on a bit of the action. Can you?

After a stint on Made in Chelsea and plenty of trips down the red carpet scattered in amongst nights out with Rihanna and La Moss, the "it girl" (are we still using that term? It seems a bit Paris Hilton circa 2002) has certainly been making a name for herself. And it seems that’s not all she's been making as today her line of shoes, ingeniously named CJG Shoes, launches in Topshop.

With prices ranging from £115 to £175 the shoes certainly aren't the cheapest out there. Plus I don't see the name having nearly as much of a draw as the Kate Moss range had back in the day. Yes Miss Green has been on TV but she's certainly no mega star! And, dare I say it, after having a browse of the collection earlier today, I can't help feeling that they're a bit cheap looking…

Channeling her famous surname she's given them all a signature green sole. Not the most glamorous of colours, but I can see what she's trying to do. However the green sole combined with sky high platforms, sequins, studding, straps, zips and cheap looking colour options just really isn't doing it for me….bizarrely actually as that list contains some of my favourite things in the world!

Anyway, have a look for yourself, what do you think of the range? Will you be splashing out on a pair of Chloe's shoes?

Outfit of the weekend

Not really an outfit of the day as technically I wore this on Saturday night, it's clearly just taken me this long to feel back to my non-tired self....I think I might be getting too old for this party lifestyle! Hubby and I threw a wee casino themed housewarming party for our friends on Saturday night. The dress code was "casino chic" surprisingly enough it was dreamt up by him and not me! I took full advantage of the theme though and dug out my favourite sequinned dress.



I actually bought the dress last year for my hen party from Mint Velvet. They've done a similar style this year, but I've got to admit I prefer last years... luckily enough seen as that's the one I own! I teamed the dress with some old favourite snake print platform heels from New Look and some new jewellery from M&Co.



I didn't actually win anything on the night, but when the gambling moved from the poker table to the Singstar I couldn't have cared less about the prize money!

Midweek shoe porn

Happy hump day folks! I trust you're all having a fabulous week? Don't worry if you're not as these babies are sure to put a smile on your face...

Dorothy meets Cinderella in these gorgeous silver glittery heels! I'm struggling to think of an outfit, or a night for that matter, that wouldn't be improved with the addition of these bad boys. With a perfectly wearable 10cm heel and a sweet bow on the front - did I mention I have a weakness for bows? They make me smile every time I look at them.




Plus at a purse friendly £40 Schuh have come up trumps yet again. I think I'm in love....

Monday shoe porn

So, as anyone who knows me could tell you, shoes are my weakness! Open any cupboard door or drawer in my house and you're sure to find some shoes. So what better way to brighten up a grey Monday than with some shoe porn??




These glittery little beauties are Marc by Marc Jacobs.

In real life I hate rodents... seriously hate them, the thought of them gives me shivers...but in dream shoe world how adorable are the wee mouse faces on these?! Plus they're practical (a girl can never have too many ballet pumps!), sparkly, cute, what's not to love? And they're a total bargain at £220.....ahem! Even a wee lunchtime perv over them on the Harvey Nic's website brightened up my day today. I hope they did the same for you, what do you think?? Do you love them too?
