Sale Shoe Shopping - New Look , Topshop and Primark

Hi guys

I hope you have all had a fabulous Christmas and haven't stuffed yourself with too much turkey. I had a good day but my favourite bit of Christmas is definitely Boxing day where you can hit the sales , enjoy the left overs and relax that everything is almost done until next year.

This post is here to show you my most recent shoe purchases. Some of these were bought last week on my trip to the Manchester and the others have been purchased in the last couple of days.

My first pair were purchased in New Look during their Shoe Sale.

 

Suede Booties with elasticated side panel

Sz 7

Was £14.99  Now £10

 

These are great everyday shoes that go with everything. I really like the fact that they are slightly pointed and have a small (about an inch) heel which means you can wear them on a night out with out feeling silly wearing flats.

Next pair were also from New Look and were my shoes of the week on 23/12/12.

 

Black Leather Studded Ankle Boots

Sz 7/8

Was £69.99  Now £35

 

My third pair were from Primark in their sale section.

 

 

Blue Velvet Chelsea Boots

Sz 8

Were £13 Now £5

 

I have had my eyes on these for a while but didn't feel like I would wear them enough to spend £13 on them. I spotted these on sale in the Manchester Primark and picked them up without second thought. They have already been on a night out and are really comfy and warm.

 

I also picked up this pair in Primark.

 

 

Navy Nautical Pumps

Sz 8

£8

 

Whilst they were not on sale I fell in love with these straight away. I  really love the nautical theme for spring and have many things to mix and match. At £8 these are a bargain.

 

 

The latest pair I have picked up are Dr Martens from Topshop.

 

 

Carrie Cut Out Floral Dr Marten Shoes

Sz 7

Was £80 Now £40

 



These have been in my local Topshop for ages. I would go in and pick them up, comment on how lovely they were and put them back. On Boxing day I rose early to hit the sales and eventually made it around to the store and found these on the sale rack. After much umming and ahhing I put them back because £40 was still a lot to spend.

 

However as I was at the till paying for some other bits I remembered you could use your student card to get 10% off even in the sales. This meant these lovelies were just £36. Needless to say I headed back to the shoe section to try and find them in my size. Luck was in hand and I walked out with another bag (and box) in hands.

I think this takes my Dr Marten count up to 7. I blame my Dad for ever introducing me to them.

 

 

So 5 pairs so far but no doubt they number will continue to rise into the New Year. I hope you are all enjoying the holidays and I will be back soon.

Shoes Of The Week - 23/12/12 New Look Limited Black Studded Boots

Hi guys

It's been another busy week this week as I have returned home to see friends and family for the Christmas break. So far no work has been done (Oops ?!) but I have managed to attend a lot of social events.

On Wednesday I went with my family to see the Manchester Christmas Markets and have a nosy around the shops to do some last minute crimbo shopping. The markets were spread quite far and held loads of interesting bits to give as presents. From here we headed to the Arndale and to Primark.

It was here I met my downfall as Newlook Shoe Sale had started and the Manchester branch has a larger selection than most. I headed to the back to see what was available in the size 7/8 section and was not dissapointed. Within 5 minutes I had 8 pairs of shoes and heels I wanted to try on.

I whittled these down to 4 pairs as the others were either too small or too high/uncomfortable to walk in. Knowing my budget couldn't stretch to 4 I comprimised and walked out with 2 pairs.

Sadly I can only find one pair online so these are my shoes of the week. I will take a picture of the other pair I bought and post them on twitter later.

In Primark I also picked up 2 more pairs at the bargain price of £5 and £8. Both pairs will again be photographed and posted later on.

My shoes of the week are New Look Limited black leather studded boots

These chunky black boots fit perfectly with my winter wardrobe.

Featuring gold buckles and studs in a star formation around the toes on supple leather these boots are designed to mould to your feet after a few wears. They have concealed zips to make them go on and off easily and a small block heel which makes them comfortable enough for every day wear.

Originally £69.99 these boots are reduced to £35.00.

I tried these on in a size 7 but these were too small. The only other pair I could find were also in a size 7 but the insides of the shoes were labled as a size 8. Luckily these fitted perfectly.

I intend to wear these with my leggings and dresses to give a harder edge to my outfit. They are really comfortable and will definitely be coming with me to uni in the new year.



I'll be back soon but in the mean time Merry Christmas !

Ah Ah Ah Ah Staying Alive !

Hi guys

This is just a quick post to let you know in blog land that I'm still alive and well (I apologise for the punny title).

Last week went a bit crazy as I tried to complete all my assignments, pack up all my stuff, complete Christmas shopping and go for a few goodbye drinks. Luckily I managed to achieve all of these and make it back home in one piece.

Somehow the 3 bags I went with had turned into 6 (I blame Oxford St) so the train journey back was also full of excitement. My wardrobe is full of goodies which I hope to share with you in the next few weeks that I'm at home.

This week is one of my busiest as I take a trip to the Manchester Christmas markets, go to an awards evening, meet up with friends and work a pyjama party.

I will be back later this week with some fabulous shoes just in time for your Christmas list.

Speak Soon

Girls' Day Out , Manchester 7 - 9th Sept. Peter Andre Guest Appearance

Hi all

I am sorry I haven't posted much this week . I had planned to give an update on Wednesday but I have unfortunately been struck down by a mystery virus which is only just fading now. Illness aside, I did manage to make it out to the "Girls' day Out" held in Manchester over the weekend.This is the first time the event has been run outside of Glasgow and I think the organisers did a great job.

Described as "Three days of catwalk shows, Girls' Day Out dancers, cocktail bars, celebrity appearances, makeovers, hair salons, style surgeries and lots more!" on the website I was excited to go and see what was going on.

I went on Friday , accompanied once more by my shopping accomplice (Mum) and arrived at about 11 O'clock. Tickets were available on the door at £15 per adult , £12 for concessions and Under 16s were just £10. We had already purchased our tickets using a "Wowcher" offer , getting 2 adult tickets for £14.

After buying tickets you were then presented with 2 vouchers - one for a free goody bag , the other for a voucher book, which could be collected from stalls within the exhibition centre. We quickly made our way to claim our goody bags and here's what mine contained :

Upon comparison with my mums the only difference was that I received a small Max Factor eyeshadow and she received a 3rd nail polish instead. Not too bad for a freebie !

We then had a walk around the various stalls offering everything from hair extensions to botox , make up to manicures and several stalls offering photo shoots at discounted prices. There was easily over 100 different businesses and both high street and boutiques were mixed in together.

In between the stalls were a couple a bars offering a free "Pinky" vodka cocktail and a few stages which were offering catwalk shows and dancers.

Here's a shot of the hunky dancers and a view of the inside :

 

 

We were also lucky enough to be near the back stage when Fridays celebrity guest arrived - the one and only Peter Andre. I was towards the back and side of the crowd so I apologise for the photo quality.

 

 

Whilst we didn't end up buying anything much we both had a great time. Mum received a free Benefit cosmetics makeover and I got to check out the latest A/W 12 collection from Debenhams and check out the Urban decay stand without being pressured to buy.

 

 

Sadly the event is now over in Manchester but will be returning to Glasgow in November. Checkout the website here : http://www.girlsdayoutshow.co.uk/

 

 

If you get the chance to check it out in the future I would recommend thinking about it as a great day out with mum, grandma or friends. There was even a few hen parties in on Friday !

 

 

I'll be back on Tuesday with my shoes of the week.

 

 

Speak to you soon
