Footwear | Black Slip-Ons

Topshop slip-ons £10 (sale)

Surely you've seen slip-ons become a trend recently, I got mine from Topshop on sale a couple of months ago and it's become one of my best purchases to date. These are so comfortable and easy to wear, they go with everything! I love that I can just put them on and walk out the door without having to worry about anything. I pretty much wear these 80% of the time so I decided to get another pair from H&M in a snakeskin print. You have no idea how many times I've had to restrain myself from buying a pair in every colour, texture and pattern. Aha! x

Footwear | Metal Buckle Cut Out Boots

Choies Metal Buckle Cut Out Boots £77.99

You would have already seen these boots all over the internet, in blogs and whatnot because who doesn't own a pair? They're a dupe for the Balenciaga Ceinture Ankle Boots which I first saw on Rumi Neely about a year ago. My sister also started sporting a similar pair about the same time but I decided not to get a pair until a few months ago. Again, these have been all over the high street but most of them were very chunky so I opted for the Choies ones which by the way are still available today. Not as cheap as the New Look and River Island ones but it's made of real leather and they're so comfy, I think it's worth every penny! Although I've worn these a good amount of times over winter, I will most definitely still be sporting them over spring and summer with shorts and dresses. How about you, do you own a pair of buckled cut out boots?

Footwear | Strap Sandal

Zara ankle strap sandal £29.99

I haven't worn these in a while but I really can't wait to style them again soon! The weather hasn't been great currently but these will definitely be one of my go-to shoes over Spring and Summer. Although it was already a big trend last year, I think it'll be back. With all the different styles of jeans that have come out in the past few months, I'm sure everyone would be jumping back on that chic jeans-and-strappy-heels trend. Then there's the dresses, skirts, shorts and everything else you can think of. I literally cannot see these not working with any outfit. They're so versatile and they just tie an outfit together so beautifully! x

Footwear | Julian Black Buckle Creepers

Urban Outfitters 'Deena and Ozzy Julian Black Buckle Creepers' £10 (sale)

More creepers! Okay, I'm not the biggest wearer of creepers but I've grown to like them especially after getting these ones from New Look. And here's another one from Urban Outfitters. It's a size 5 and I'm normally a four but they were only £10 so I had to get them. Oooops! The fit's actually not that bad, loads of room so I don't get any blisters and I can wear thicker socks with them. I have literally worn these so many times! They're so comfortable and easy to wear plus they go with most of my clothes. Eeep! x

Footwear | Leopard Print

Office shoes £5 (sale)

Here are the shoes that I featured in this outfit post and they're these Office leopard print velvet creepers which would you believe only cost £5? They were on sale when I got them and was pretty much an impulse buy. It's not very like me to purchase loud statement footwear but it would've been silly of me to pass these up when they were selling for so cheap. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of leopard print, I find that when styled properly and not overdone they can be pretty cool! x

Footwear | White Boot

Missguided boots £26.99

When I first saw these boots on the Missguided website last year, I immediately decided to buy them. However, I've only worn them a couple of times. One, because I'm afraid of scuffing them and two, I haven't really figured out a way to style them yet. Although I'm hoping to wear them more in the next couple of months, especially if it snows! I just have this idea that they would look good paired with a sleek b&w outfit. What do you think? x

Footwear | Too Sharp

& Other Stories 'Abigail Lorick' slippers £55

I love & Other Stories, especially their shoes. This is my first pair from them and it's gorgeous! I paid £55 for them which isn't too bad considering it's real leather and they've made it so well. The leather is so soft and the lining is really nice too. They're pretty comfortable but I wouldn't suggest running in them due to the pointed toe. I've worn this a lot during the warmer months. However, I probably won't wear them again for a while seeing as the bad weather will probably ruin them. It's such a nice take on the regular black flats and they're definitely one to make an outfit that bit sharper. x

Haul | Zara Staples

Zara t-shirt £9.99 | loose trousers £19.99 | strap sandals £29.99

Zara is definitely one for finding pieces that are likely to be staples in your wardrobe. Here I have a white oversized v-neck shirt (featured here), loose jogger-type trousers and a pair of black strap sandals. I love these pieces so much and I can't get enough of them! I definitely want more stuff from Zara, I mean it's become one of my favourite places to shop. Everything is just so beautiful... x

Footwear | Black and Wood

Everything5pounds.com sandals £5

This is the last pair out of the three that I got from Everything5Pounds and it's this black and wood-like sandals/slippers. It's not something I'd wear now but it just shows the variety of stuff you can get off the site. I mean for £5, this is pretty good. This became my go-to summer flats and I'm probably going to bring it out again next year. By the way, I'm not being sponsored. It just so happened that I purchased a few pairs hence the posts. But yeah, like I mentioned, it's a great place to shop for cool pieces that are really cheap, especially if you're on a budget! x

Footwear | Skulled

Everything5pounds.com flats £5

The second pair from my Everything5Pounds purchase was this black flats with a gold skull on it. I really love this pair and have yet to wear it. But isn't it just so rad? I just love how simple yet awesome it is! Aha! And to think, this only cost me 500 pennies. That's insane! So so happy with it! You should go check out the site if you're on a hunt for something really cool but can't afford to spend a lot. It's the perfect site for buying Christmas presents too if you're on a really tight budget this year! x

Footwear | Black and Gold Flats

Everything5pounds.com flats £5

I know this shoes aren't very appropriate for this season but heck, I thought I'd still post it. It's these flats that I got from Everything5Pounds. And yes, everything is literally £5! It's a great place to shop if you're on a really really tight budget and you do find the occasional gem from there. Here's the first out of the three pairs of footwear I got and it's just a simple black pointed flats with light gold detailing on the toes. Again, it's not the most appropriate for the weather we're having right now but it's perfect for casual days, perhaps when it's warmer. But who knows, you can never go wrong with wearing tights and a pair of flats... or could you? Oh well! x

Haul | & Other Stories

& Other Stories eyelash curler £10 | slip ons £55

You probably already know about & Other Stories, it's a new brand from the same people that created H&M. There was a massive hype about the brand especially when it first came to the UK and when it launched its website. I personally can't get enough of it! I love the clothes, especially the shoes. More importantly, they have an awesome cosmetics line. I mean, what's not to love?

Here's my first purchase from them. And c'mon, just look at that packaging, it's so beautiful! Aha! Anyway, I got these leather pointed flats which I couldn't get out of my head for days, so I knew I had to get it. Then, an eyelash curler as I've never owned one. And so far so good! I love the shoes and have worn it numerous times and the curler is pretty amazing too. It doesn't tug or pull my eyelashes and it really does work, worth the £10 I paid for it! 

They're definitely not as cheap as H&M but I honestly don't think they're overly expensive either. I think you pay for what you get. I mean, if you really want a good pair of shoes that will last, then you have to invest on it like I did on this pair. I find that with & Other Stories, you really get better quality and that's why you pay more. Again, they're not the cheapest but they're definitely not the most expensive. I would love to try more of their make up and skincare! And maybe a few more pairs of shoes... Have you purchased anything from & Other Stories, what's your thoughts? x

Footwear | Black Chelsea Boots

Tesco boots £15

These are the black version of these boots, which I was on a hunt for and got as soon as I spotted them in Tesco. I have been into boots ever since the beginning of this year and have had my eye on so many, it's crazy! I just can't get enough of them, I think they're the perfect all year round shoe! So allow me to get this phase out of my system. Aha! 

Anyway, this were only £15 which is amazing as they're the perfect Chelsea boots except without that tag on the back. But who cares? For £15, I sure am not complaining! I have worn these and its brown counterpart so many times, they've been pretty much my go-to boots. They're just so simple and they go with everything. I mean, literally everything! I just love them. Can't you tell, I own two! But seriously, if you don't have a pair of these, please get one. I promise you won't regret it. They're the best type of autumn/winter boots and they're literally everywhere at the minute! x

Haul | Creepin' at Urban

Urban Outfitters (all on sale) shirt £15 | dress £15 | shoes £10

Urban Outfitters is a place I'd love to shop at all the time if I had the money. But seeing as I'm poor student and it'd be stupid of me to buy anything from them full price, I just wait for the sales. And to be fair to Urban, they do pretty awesome sales, I mean really good ones! Here's a basic printed shirt —  apologies for it being very creased, a dark grey midi dress and a pair of Deena and Ozzy creepers, all for £40. Not bad, huh? My favourite are the shoes. At first, I thought I wouldn't like them as much but I really do! And I've worn them so many times already. Such a bargain for £10! x

Footwear | All Buckled Up

Office Shoes £80

Here's another pair of buckled cut out boots from Office similar to the ones I previously featured (see post here). This cost me £80 which I know is quite a lot for a pair of boots (for me anyway) but for something that will last a really long time, I think it's worth the investment. Also, it's not just a one season type of shoe. It's a pair that you can wear all year round which is great in terms of cost per wear. 

Unlike the other pair I got, these do not really have a heel, which is great as it isn't everyday that I'd like to walk in heels. Again, they also have silver hardware which is perfect for the way I dress. The cut out detail is also much more subtle which means it's more suitable for winter. I am hoping to style this more in the upcoming months so watch out for outfit posts! I also have a few more boots that I'll be featuring on here so I hope I'm not boring you yet with all of my footwear posts. I just thought it'll be great to share them with you guys seeing as it's getting colder now, and everyone ought to own at least one good pair of boots! x

Haul | Monochrome

 Missguided leggings £9.99 | dark grey shirt £12.99 | black shirt £5.99 (sale) | shoes £26.99

Whenever I'm shopping online, I always find myself on Missguided. It's just an easy place to look for cheap, good quality items that you know are going to be on trend. Here I got some high waisted leggings, a couple of printed shirts and a pair of white boots. What I like the most about the site is not only do they keep up with all the trends, they also have a wide selection of items. It's just impossible not to find something on there that you wouldn't wanna buy. Definitely one of my most favourite places to shop online! Have you tried Missguided, what's your thoughts? x

Footwear | Cut Out Boots

Office boots £70

These boots have been featured on my blog before but I thought I'd make a post especially dedicated to them because they're so rad! Ahhh, I just love them! They were from Office and I got them for £70, which is quite a jump from what I would normally be willing to pay for any type of shoes. But I thought it was time I started to invest on shoes that were going to last me a while. Not just cheap ones that took my fancy and end up somewhere in my shoe collection, unworn and collecting dust. Plus they're real leather too, so that's not too bad considering.

I actually got them early this year, around January/February and have used them quite a lot since, particularly over the summer. I love that they're cut out boots but in a really sophisticated way. I don't know, there's something about showing off the heel of your feet that makes it look really nice when worn. I also enjoy the silver hardware as it goes a lot more with the clothes I wear. I think the metal detail around the point of the shoe is really cool too. It's kind of that cowboy look but in a nice everyday way, if you know what I mean. Ahh, they're just so pretty! I can't wait to wear them more again this season. Hee! x

Footwear | Peep Toe Flats

Office Flats £4 (sale)

Here's a very simple black open toe pair of flats I got in an Office sale quite a while back. I've only ever worn them once but they're pretty cool. They're definitely one of those easy to go shoes you wear during lazy/running errands type of days. What I like most about them is that they're not just old boring black flats. I mean, yes they aren't super amazing but the peep toe definitely makes it more unique and offers that slight edge when you wear it. Now that's simple with a character! x

Footwear | Pink Flats

Primark flats £5

These are probably the girliest pair of shoes I own and they're so pretty! I thought they'd be perfect for spring/summer. You know, when you just wanna be a real girly girl. Besides, pretty much all my shoes are black! Sometimes, buying things you wouldn't normally wear can be really refreshing. It's just nice to always have an alternative to what you're used to. And who knows, one day it might come in handy! x

Footwear | Moustache Flats

Primark flats £8

Just before summer, I kind of went on a flats frenzy and ended up buying quite a few. One being this Primark moustache flats. I just love it, I mean how can I not say no? Along with this, I also ended up with a moustache bedding, a moustache rug, a moustache flask and a moustache phone case. Call it an addiction! Ahaha! I've already worn it a few times and it's lovely. It makes the outfit that bit more fun and it just really makes me happy. Do you like moustaches too? x
