Inspiration Monday

Morning Ladies. This weekend has been an exciting one for me.

First off I got the whole weekend off! Yay!

There were reasons though: I did a 7 mile midnight sleep walk (in a thunder storm!!) to help raise money for Ty Hafan, a children's hospital in cardiff, which cares for children with terminal illnesses.

I am still collecting sponsors and would love it if a few of my readers would donated to this amazing cause. Just click here to donate, every penny helps.

Photos to come.

Plus this weekend was a rather important one for Jon and me. Shall I give you a hint?

Yep this weekend (Sunday 8th May) marked our 1 year anniversary!! It has gone so so fast! I almost can't believe it. So Jon and I were home with our parents this weekend, and just spent it celebrating with Friends and Family. It was lovely.

As 1 year in the UK is traditionally paper I bought Jon tickets to Jimmy Carr and he bought me a voucher for a hour long Thai Back Massage (yum!)

Right on to today's real post. It's inspiration Monday and I am able to participate this week (after missing the last 2 due to being too busy)

As usual Megan and Nora set us all a celebrity outfit picture to be 'inspired' by: this week was a chilled look by Nicole Richie

I didn't have anything like that dress, so I had to wing it with my only mini dress. Plus sadly it isn't warm enough here at the moment to go bare legged, so I donned a pair of leggings to make it more weather suitable!

Dress: Topshop

Jacket: Levi

Leggings: Primark

Shoes: Peacocks

Bag: Unbranded

Sun glasses: Unbranded

Bracelet: Topshop

Necklace: Tiffany and Co

Friend Friday - Shoes!

I am finally getting myself organised again so here is this weeks FBFF post. I mean I couldn't really miss out on a post dedicated to shoes really, could I? hehe! As always check out Modly Chic for all the other lovely ladies posts

1.What is your go-to pair of shoes?

This has to be my black and white brogues. My mum had bought me a top from Newlook but I didn't like it so took it back and exchanged it for the shoes! They were on sale for only £10, best bargain ever I think. They are so versatile and seem to match everything and look so cute!

Newlook Brogues

2. What goes into your shoe buying decisions?

Comfort, comfort and comfort, lol OK and a little bit of "are the cute an interesting". I am actually really fussy when it comes to my shoes as I hate not being comfortable in them, and I like shoes that are a bit interesting an different. Plus I refuse to pay a ridiculous price!

George at ASDA £12

3. The majority of the shoes in your closet are what color?

Black I think. Although I have a few purple and red too.

Peacocks £12

Taxi

4. When it comes to designer shoes what are your favorite brands and

why?

I am in love with Irregular Choice but sadly I don't actually own a pair as they are too pricy for me! but one day I will buy a pair of their kooky fun shoe boots! They are just so individual and different. Other than that I'm not sure. If I am truthful I am not actually a huge shoe person so I don't really keep up to date with designer shoe collections. I just notice ones when I like them.

5. If price wasn’t an issue, you’d own which shoe?

I wouldn't go for mega expensive ones as I dont think they are worth it, but I would buy these pairs.

Cortesan Floral Bar

Melissa Vivienne Westwood Mary Jane Croco Shoes

Office Brogue Baby Turq

What's your fav style of shoe then? And how much does a normal pair of shoes cost for you?

Polyvore - Fearne Cotton

Morning Ladies. I haven't Polyvore'd in a while so I thought I would put together 2 great outfits inspired by Fearne Cotton. I'm not sure if you guys know her in the US but in the UK she is a big TV presenter and Radio DJ (plus fashion designer/model/icon/etc).

First up this great chilled jeans and jumper look. The jumper is part of her own collection for Very.com. It's super cute and great to throw on as a bit of extra cover on the windy days in the UK.

Fearne Cotton Inspired Look 2 by daisymay_chantele featuring leather flats

The 2 necklaces I found are the actual ones she is wearing. They are from a very cute little shop called True Birds which I am totally in love with at the moment! Check them out!

The second outfit is this very sweet check skirt and cardi combo, this is the type of outfits I love of hers. Pairing 2 items I wouldn't usually think of and just making them work, I just kinda wish she was wearing cute pumps instead of Converse.

Here is my Polyvore - Just add thick black tights!

Fearne Cotton Inspired Look by daisymay_chantele featuring an organic cotton skirt

She is wearing a much simpler 'Vegas' necklace in this outfit but I think she would love the Plastic Bat one if she saw it, I know I do!

So which outfit do you like more? Are you a fan of Fearne Cotton's laid back style?
