Anonymous asked: you've said before how you aren't really into dresses, that's why I wondered what sort of look you'd go for if you were a celebrity or something lol

Well if I was a celebrity I’d have a stylist and be able to afford fancy designer dresses and things :o

StyleAID: Loosening Tight Shoes

(okay the formatting of this post is all jacked up and idk why or how to fix it i’m sorry)

YOU WILL NEED:

Shoes that are too tight (they don’t have to be boots, this should work for most styles and materials);
A thick pair of socks;
A hairdryer.

STEP 1:

(I had a photograph to go here but Tumbr’s being a dick and won’t let me upload it even though it’s working for all the other pictures. Use your imagination.)

Put on your socks and then squeeze into your shoes, making sure your heel is firmly in the back of the shoe.

STEP 2:

Heat the shoes with your hairdryer, wiggling your toes and flexing your foot as you do so until the material feels soft and supple. Heat around your toes and heel, or anywhere else you find the shoe uncomfortable. If you’re going straight out you can take the sock off and wear the shoe immediately and it should be okay, but I prefer to leave the socks on and keep the shoes on for as long as it takes for the material to cool (or longer if possible). This techinique should help mould the shoe to the shape of your foot, with the sock providing extra wiggle-room. You can repeat the process a few times if you want them even looser :)

OMG SHOES: Part 3, Casual

And this will be the last installment of my shoe collection (unless I decide to include the rest under “misc” which I probably won’t).

I don’t really wear any of these shoes that often, but they’re usually saved for when I need to be sporty/comfortable or it’s too hot for boots (which is rare where I live).

I got these in TK Maxx cause I thought they were kinda funny but still kinda cool~ They’re probably for children but so what :3

I got these in Primark for like £4 cause I was going to Turkey and I kinda hate them~

I got them in this colour too.

Finally, I got these from Boohoo.com a few years ago and I don’t think I’ve ever actually worn them because I never have a reason to wear sandals… but I still think they’re really pretty so :<

OMG SHOES: Part 2, Evening

Shoes I wear on nights out/dates/events etc.

I have been wearing these A LOT lately (so they’re a little dirty heh sorry) and you may recognise them from OOTDs~ I got them from asos.com a year or two ago and I loove them <3 I prefer to wear them with jeans/trousers rather than skirts/shorts cause I don’t really like how they cut me off at the ankle (kinda makes my thighs look wider and my legs look shorter, if that’s possible), but that’s just me!

My other go-to pair of shoes for a night out~ I got them from River Island a few years ago.

Also from asos.com. I like to wear these with really really tight/skinny jeans as they give me the most height~ The higher your heels, the slimmer your legs look, right? (Or did I make that up).

(I couldn’t get these in focus argh). These are from New Look and I tend to save them for more formal occasions cause I’m not a huge fan of strappy shoes~

From asos again~ I really wanted to get these in brown too cause they’d be a perfect daytime boot but they didn’t have my size :(

And lastly, these are from Faith and I got them a few years ago for my cousin’s wedding~ Again, I really only wear these on more formal occasions.

And that’s about it! I do have a few pairs of court shoes (/”pumps” if you’re American) but I literally never wear them so I didn’t really want to include them~

OMG SHOES: Part 1, Daytime

Welcome to the first post of my long-awaited (?) shoe collection! This was requested… a while ago… ahem.

Anyway, this will be comprised of 2 or 3 (maybe more) different posts; it won’t be a comprehensive account of my ENTIRE shoe collection, just those that I wear most often(ish).

This post will focus on “daytime” shoes; shoes I wear to uni, to lunch, meeting friends, shopping, etc. etc. A few of them have transitioned into night/evening wear on occasion, but only on very casual trips out of an evening.

Enjoy :3

I’m not 100% sure what brand these boots actually are, but I purchased them in a timed sale on secretsales.com (a fantastic site for bargains if you’re in the UK!) If you follow this blog at all I’m sure you’ll recognize them, they’re probably the boots I wear most often at the moment. The right boot is actually missing the chain from the back - it came loose on one side when I was out shopping one day and I couldn’t really fix it at the time so I just yanked it off. I’m pretty sure it’s still in whatever handbag I was carrying that day~ Who knows if it’ll ever get reattached :o

I feel that a good pair of black daytime boots is essential in anyone’s wardrobe, so when my previous beloved pair (featured very early in this blog) literally started falling apart, I picked this new pair up on sale at the Dorothy Perkins concession at Outlet. They’re still a little stiff since they’re pretty much brand new but fear not, I will have a post shortly on how you can fix that ;)

Are you staring to see a pattern yet? :O These look a lot more shiney spaceman in the photo than they are; they’re a slightly shimmery grey with lovely bright blue stitching and a matching sole, which I think is a nice touch :3 Again I don’t know the brand cause they’re also from secretsales.com.

I know I’ve definitely raved about these Irregular Choice booties in a OOTD before, they’re the most comfortable heels you’ll ever wear in your life!

These are from boohoo.com and only cost something like £15, although they seem to be lined with really cheap slippery material and the bottom of one of the heel soles fell off a while ago so they can be kinda slidey if you aren’t careful when wearing them~ If you’re looking for cheap shoes but don’t want to sacrifice quality, I’d definitely recommend asos over boohoo any day.

Like these! These are from asos.com and were a similar price to the boohoo boots, but I’ve had them longer and they’re not damaged in the slightest (apart from a slight knick on the back of the wedge but I think that’s from when my sister wore them to a club fs).

These adorable fuzzy boots are from one of those cheapy shoe stores like Shoe Zone (have you noticed I don’t like paying a lot for shoes -_-); my mum came home with them one day in an unmarked box and I didn’t ask questions haha. I really like to wear these with blue jean jeggings.

And finally, what kind of self-respecting “rock chick” would I be if I didn’t own a pair of knee high DM’s two sizes too big for me? I mostly like to wear these when it snows so that I don’t break my neck ^~^

And that’s it for daytime shoes! Stay tuned for part 2~

Anonymous asked: can you do a post for outerwear? I always end up ruining pretty nice outfits by throwing on a boring hoodie or gross Primark zip-up fleece atrocity that shouldn't be allowed to see the outdoors...I love my leather jacket but it's not warm enough if the temperature drops.

The majority of my outerwear pieces are basically variations of each other lol, but yes I’ll do a post anyway :)
