#mum and dad!
i stupidly decided to wear my topshop heels that i bought a year ago to discover foolishly again that they actually cripple me. they are peep toe and patent which means your foot slides down to the bottom of the shoe and squashes your toes. something i found that really helped with this was to put a few cotton wool pads on the inside of your shoes, at the side of your big toe. great tip when you have a pair of gorgeous but painful heels- it will get you through the night as it did me!
i also went to the comedy club at the frog and bucket on oldham street in manchester on monday night. this is a place me and liam love to go for a cheap night and a few laughs (how cheesy of me). its £3 in and the night follows a structure of two pretty funny people doing about five minutes each, and then after a short interval its kind of like an open mic night- some good, some bad, but all funny in different ways. a bottle of wine is around £7, bottles of beer £2. you can also get food at your table, which a large bar menu serving burgers, pizzas, onion rings, fish and chips etc. a burger and chips is only £5 on a monday night too! the doors open around 7- i'd get there for about ten to to insure a good table, you don't wanna be standing up! but i definitely recommend it- pretend its the weekend.
i have been counting down the weeks till i can go on holiday with my wonderful family- eight weeks! its so hard to start buying holiday clothes and knowing what you will want to wear in the sun mid-way through january. however, i've invested in a couple of things that will do for both january and the summer. clever, hey?
both topshop-
the skirt has been great, i wore it to the comedy club with tights, my leather chelsea boots and a long sleeved skinny top. the skirts great worn both midi and shorter- very easy to roll up. (sounds cheap i know, but the longer length can sometimes make my legs look stumpy when wearing boots- and i'm 5,7!). i reckon it will look great in the summer, chilled with a tan and some sandals.
i'm not usually into midi dresses, i don't think they're too flattering however i like this one as its not too fussy , £34 and looks good with a tan skinny waist belt. i reckon this will look better when i dont have to wear tights with it, the longer length with black tights poking out the bottom makes me feel like a middle aged woman.
i bought some chelsea boots from topshop, but with them being real leather they were in the premium range. i figured they would last me foroever anyway, and with them having a funny little heel they could also border on middle aged woman, so stupidly i paid an extra £40 for the version with the studs on the back. i've wore them to death already though, hence why i can't take a picture of them as they're a bit dirty- i haven't got round to cleaning them yet, i'll stick a picture up soon.
i'll be sure to let you know what i get up to this week- whether you're interested or not, we all know everyone likes to be a bit nosey!
