GHETTOFABULOUS!

After lusting after them on various website, catwalk pictures and blogs for so long, i finally have a pair of wedge trainers of my very own, and it was live at first site. My boyfriend was kind enough to buy them for me for my birthday, they were on sale for the bargain price of £15, I couldn't possibly leave them in the store.

Itching to wear them, I strutted around the city centre in them the very next day, feeling every inch the ghetto princess, with my sassy slogan tee and leopard print bomber. As a clumsy buffoon I was sure I would trip at some point, maybe break my ankle, still I was prepared to take the risk. However, my little beauties were surprisingly easy to walk in and really comfortable - I didn't walk into any more things than I usually do or anything.

I implore you to get down to Primark for a pair right now, I went for the gold trimmed style, but they also have a navy trimmed version.

Slogan Tank, H&M - In store now, or similar here.

So who else is loving their wedge trainers? Their is a seriously bling pair on ASOS, check the link, they are unreal - I will certainly be keeping an eye on those bad boys.

In blogging news, I have reached 10,000 page views and 90 follows, so I just wanted to say a big thank you for the support...it really means a lot.

COLLAR CANDY

Last Friday night, the boyfriend and I met up with a few friends for what was supposed to be a few drinks before coming back to cook some food. So I got dresses nice and out we went - half 9 ticked round and I was bloody starving, and by this point I could tell the boy needed something on his stomach. So being the wonderful girlfriend I am, I offered to take my leave to go and prepare some food while he went and had another drink (incidentally crippling hunger kicked in as I passed a McDonalds walking back to the flat and I caved, but that's beside the point).

Anyway his phone died immediately after we parted and since I had to only key to get into the building that the flat is in, logic would tell most people to catch up with me and come back, especially since the buzzer doesn't work either. But no, I was told through several frantic Facebook messages to pass my number on to one of the friends so he could ring me shortly (yeah right) when he wanted to be let in.

Anyway, hours passed and I informed the friend that I was very tired so it might be an idea for the mister to come back before I fell asleep! Another hour went by and yeah I was getting pretty darn angry, but fell asleep anyway. For some reason I awoke at half 1, no sign of the boyfriend, no messages whatsoever so I was pissed and worried. To see if I could see a paralytic mess resembling my boyfriend asleep somewhere on the street and I saw his friend frantically running across the street and yelling.

I went to the flat door to see my boyfriend staring forlornly through the letterbox - drunk was an understatement! Following some rather humorous bedside acting and some dry-wretching under the covers (thankfully I got him to the bathroom to empty the contents of his stomach) he managed to get loudly off to sleep.

If that wasn't bad enough I got BBQ sauce on my shirt - anyway, here is what I wore...

I absolutely love my new collar piece - it adds an extra bit of glam to a simple button down shirt. Do any of you have any interesting collar jewels or tips, because I'm totally after some more.
