Summer is here!

It is really warm here, averaging around 29ºC everyday now. I decided it was time to strip off the jeans and slip into the dresses. Apparently, this is not received well in Cameri! It seems to encourage much staring from the locals (much more than ususal), especially so when I bike while wearing a dress. Don't worry, I'm not flashing the poor dears, I'm wearing tights, I'm covering my modesty, honest. Maybe it's the colour, maybe it's the style of the dress, maybe it's that I stick out like a sore thumb, maybe it's that I smile at strangers as I bike past them, maybe it's just that I'm new and therefore the most interesting thing on that street at that time, merely by default. Who knows. But it's getting to me a little.
On a lighter note, I bought some great shoes. No really, they are GREAT! Our flat has tiled floors, not only does this make for a lovely dust collections, it's also pretty chilly at night (well, it was until it started reaching 30ºC during the daytime). The bf asked me to pick him up some slippers, so I decided to get some for myself but before I reached the aisle with the slippers, the special offers display caught my eye. Sitting there, in all their colourful glory, were a huge bunch of croc style slip-ons from Fila. At under 10 Euros in an array of bright and wonderfully garish colours, I had to have some. I settled on these awesome violet pair and wear them whenever I'm safely inside the boundaries of our flat/courtyard. They are great fun and really comfy. I kinda forget I'm wearing them and have nearly burst onto the street with them on a couple of times.

Don't worry, I didn't wear them out. I opted for converse instead.

Also, I waited an age for Primark to get some lacy tights and at £2 a pair, I am delighted with these. I also got them in peach/flesh coloured ♥ ♥ ♥

Shopping (again)

(From yesterday)

Well, I didn't go in Next because I knew that pretty dress would tempt me, but I had to return a dress from Primark and I wanted to see if they had that nice grey biker jacket in my size.

I went with my mum and we happened to have a look in Dorothy Perkins, another shop I never go in, for similar reasons as next. Trust me when I say that I wasn't looking for a bag. I have a beautiful handmade clutch that I have my eye on, but I wasn't looking for a handbag at all... however this one found me all by itself. My mum also really liked it and offered to buy it for me. I didn't refuse...

I also had a look at and tried on some shoes. Something I don't usually bother doing because it's a hassle, but the shop was empty and I was wearing easy on-off plimsoles. I tried a gorgeous dusky pink pair of peep toe courts that had pretty pink lacing on, but they were just that tad too high for me. Then I saw them... the shoes of my dreams. I tried them on, they were a little too big, but they didn't have a smaller size. I tried them both on, I felt so glamourous. I ummed and ahhed about them and decided to get them. They are just a dream.

On top of all that my mum paid for those too!! Thanks Mum!!!!!!! <3

They didn't have my size in the jacket, so I tried on a 12 and it fit ok, if I don't mind not being able to zip it up (which I don't incidentally) and I'm shrinking so I bagged it along with a second pair of black skinny jeans. For the shoes you see.

And amazing and cheap day of shopping, that made me smile no end. I also had some pretty, pretty post waiting for me when I got home, which only added to my smile.

(And yes, I'm wearing the shoes as I type!)

Shoe Heaven

Well, I received my Melissa's after a few days of patiently waiting and getting excited every time the postman came and it was certainly worth the wait! I was going to create a sexy strip tease set of photos like I did for my IR boots, but I couldn't wait to get them on and I'm still in my trakkies so I wouldn't have made for a good photo.

Here is a pic I filched from google...


but it doesn't do them justice. They are amazing, the flocked finish doesn't look so great here, but it's lovely in real life. Also you can't smell them... they are bubblegum scented! They've actually filled the room with their wonderfully synthetic smell (I love plasticy smells) and although I'm still in the process of wearing them in, which has proved more difficult since I've been out of heels for a while, I'm totally in love with them!
