I tawt I taw a puddy tat...

Introducing my beautiful cat Rwdlan. Named after a character from a welsh children's book, she is what makes my home, home. She's a little madam and definitely lives a life of luxury (we spoil her rotton). Home for me is most definitely where the cat is :)

Trousers?

I bought these camel trousers from Topshop whilst in Manchester at the weekend. I'm normally a skirt, dress or shorts girl as I carry most of my weight around my hips and so those styles are the most flattering. I struggle to find trousers that 1. fit and 2. don't make me look about 20 stone!! But these ones seem to look OK-ish! What do you all think? I also bought a khaki pair very similar from River Island. I will try to post a picture of them soon.









Manchester was absolutely FAB at the weekend. It was so nice to be with all of my university friends again. Its so strange to think we spent three years of our lives living together and now we all live so far apart. But It's great that we make an effort to meet up on a fairly regular basis and I know they will be friends for life :)
Here are a few photos from our night out. Champagne cocktails were the drink du jour!









Until next time...

God bless Kurt Geiger!

I have been searching for a pair of shoes for my Aunty's wedding in May. I already have the PERFECT dress from Reiss. It's royal blue and very structured, but also very classic. Was I inspired by Kate Middleton? Nah! Well, OK maybe a little! But tell me, who wouldn't die for a glossy mane like hers, great style AND a royal fiance?! Gimme some of that please! Anyway, I digress.... the shoes! Well I didn't want to be too matchy matchy and so a blue pair was out of the question (even though I did spy a beaut of a pair in John Lewis) and black is well, black. So in my head I had pictured the dress with a great pair of nude heels, wooden heel preferably and a killer platform. I thought it was going to be impossible to find this shoe of my dreams. Quite the opposite however, as Kurt Geiger in Liverpool came up trumps on the shoe front. After trying on 16 pairs of shoes (yes 16!!) I managed to narrow it down to the following two pairs, both of which I purchased:








But which ones to keep???
Maybe I should just keep both :)
