Up The Junction


These are my new shoes that arrived today from Boohoo. I'm so pleased with them, they looked good on the website but you know when you get shoes sometimes and they're really plastic and stiff? Well these are soft and comfy, and I can tell i'll be able to start wearing them straight away! I'm a bit nervous because they're cream and I know i'll get them dirty straight away, but it's nice to have a change from my standard all black shoes! They were only £10 in the sale and Boohoo kindly gave me a 20% discount voucher so even better! I think loafer style shoes are my favourite type of shoes, they have definitely seen a huge resurgence in recent years because of Alexa Chung, but they are a classic and look great with jeans or tights. They come in so may different styles and colours but I think I will always have a place in my heart for the patent black classics!

Today is a misty, dull day and I am having my standard Monday/Tuesday wearing a big jumper and leggings, whilst baking, dying clothes and looking at blogs! To get us all through these grey days here are some nice inspirational pictures of people wearing loafers and generally looking great!

This is what I wore today for a casual Sunday which involved lots of cleaning, visiting family and trying to sort out my car. My hair is an absolute state (as usual) so I hid it underneath this great hat which goes with everything and always manages to save me! I wore my favourite purple lipstick too and jazzed up my old black sheer shirt with my one of my new spiked collar accessories. I usually spend Sundays with friends, feeling a bit worse for wear but last night I decided to have a night in so this morning I felt unusually refreshed. 

Last night was great and a bit of a change from my usual Saturday night going out drinking routine instead my boyfriend made butternut squash risotto and I made some cookies, a few friends came round and we watched Grease and J.Edgar. Grease is a film I used to watch all the time when I was younger and I haven't watched it since I was probably 10, but oh my god it is amazing! Favourite song has to be 'Sandra Dee', favourite character either Frenchie or Riz; Frenchie has the best hair but Riz is just too cool! Favourite outfit, Sandy at the end which I have decided I need to wear next time I go out and finally..Kenickie! Absolute babe and I was so sad to read on Wikipedia after that he died in the past few years! 

After falling back in love with Grease I decided to make a outfit tribute to Sandy (hot Sandy at the end) and also decided it might be time to dye my hair pink again a la Frenchie!
