Arrival of my TOMS!

Hello blog followers,

As you know I wrote a blog about the company TOMS last week and said I purchased the shoes.  Well... they have arrived and they are amazing!  They look great with anything plus the comfort is 10 out of 10! They are for a good cause plus they look great....it makes me want to buy more (but I have no more space or money!) Here is some pictures of them for you to enjoy!

 

Thank you for reading! Why not try it yourself?

TOMS...Giving to the World

Hello blog followers,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while but I have been snowed under with university work.  While getting on with research I came across a company that interested me called TOMS.  I instantly fell in love with their concept when I found out about it... One for One.

 

The company put their heart and soul into selling shoes and glasses to consumers while every purchase made, someone in the developing world will receive a pair of shoes or their sight back.  They believe that every person in the world deserves to have shoes to walk and the ability to see.

This is an example of a company who wants to make a difference in the world and make it a fairer place to live.  This is a website that is worth visiting and definitely a purchase that is worth making (and I already have)! TOMS

Let me know what you think about the company and its concept... to me its one of the greatest ideas in a long time.

Love Nicola xxxxx

Bargain heels

Hey everyone, Michelle here!

 

If you have been following our blog for a while, you will know that I am a Zara obsessive. Ever since I have been back at university I pass by Zara everyday on my way home so I have been going in nearly every day (yes, I am aware that this is not very healthy for my bank account but I cant help it).

 

I was in the other day and I came across these gorgeous burgundy heels, here is a link to a previous post on my obsession with burgundy. I was already considering buying these as I loved them so much but when I looked at the price tag, my mind was made up. They were only £15.99! I couldn't believe it. They also come in black with a gold strap and a red heel which I really loved which I was going to buy as well as the burgundy ones since they were such a good price but they never had my size :(.

OOTD: Birthday Brunch

Hey everyone, sorry that this is the first OOTD post since we came back to uni but we all had quite a lot on last week and we are all doing different modules this year so we are not always together :(.

Anyway since we never really got a chance to celebrate Dodi's birthday properly, we decided to go out for a fancy brunch this morning and finally gave her her present. We will be going out on a night out next week also.

We decided to go to Cranachans in Princes Square, Glasgow which was gorgeous. The majority of us decided to go for the salmon and scrambled egg on toast and then finished off our brunch with a cheeky slice of cake, yum.

A little DIY

Hey Guys, so on Thursday I went through to Edinburgh for the afternoon to see my Aunty and as I arrived early I had some time to look around the shops in the capital. As I don't know Edinburgh very well and the weather was really awful that day I stuck to just a few shops along princes street. My first and most important stop was in the new Primark which I have to say is a million times better to any we have here in Glasgow, it was tidy, clean and had a lot more stock than I have seen here also. As I have been really short of cash this month I didn't buy as much as I would have liked.  I saw a few really nice pieces that now I cant stop thinking about, totally regretting not making those purchases! Anyway...I thought I would show you the things I did pick up. The first thing I got was this totally adorable collar, I absolutely love it! Although I do think it is quite difficult to wear as finding something that it goes with is quite tricky. I tried it with a simple black vest top and this gave me a bit of a playboy bunny look which I wasn't too keen on. Anyway for £3.00 you cannot really go wrong and I'm hoping that they will make some more patterns, so Primark if you are listening a leopard print one would be fab!!

After some playing around with different things I came up with this, I am wearing a top from Miss Selfridge and my skirt is from Primark.

My second purchase of the day were these shoes. I have been looking at getting a pair of these slipper like pumps for a while now but hadn't found any within my sadly low budget until I hit Primark! At £6.00 these were quickly snapped up and in my soggy Primark paper bag before I knew it!

As much as I like these little shoes, the ones I had seen previously were all studded. Soooo...

Now for the DIY...

I decided that I would try out adding some studs to these shoes to jazz them up a bit. So the very next day I got up bright and early and headed out to find me some studs. After a whole morning of traipsing through town and into all fabric/haberdashery shops I could think of I knew the next place I had to look was the selection of gothic/punk shops on Queen street. After braving these slightly intimidating shops I still had no success therefore went home and decided to use my good friend ebay for the job. I quickly found exactly what I was looking for. Having only ordered these yesterday I was very surprised to hear them dropping through the letter box this morning. This is the link for the seller I used and I would highly recommend them link!

After a LOT of playing around this was the end result

Ok, ok so its not ground breaking but I do think it makes them that little bit more special. I had originally planned on covering the toes with studs but this just proved too difficult and I certainly didn't  have the patience for it. If you are someone with more patience then I would say this would certainly be possible. I think shoes were maybe a rather ambitious starting point so maybe next I will try something a little more simple like a T-shirt or something but I will definitely keep you all updated.
