The Chelsea Boot Bandwagon

Hi girls!

I must admit that in winter, I tend to live in Ugg boots. And although they are incredibly warm and comfortable, I sometimes feel thats Uggs are just too casual. Sometimes I find myself wishing I had smart winter boots I can wear of an evening, or to look more formal in the daytime. Upon realising this (and after seeing plenty of bloggers and youtubers raving about them), I decided I wanted a pair of chelsea boots! I had my eye on the Topshop Allegra boots, but at £80, they're slightly above my student-budget. But I wasn't keen on the flat-style Chelsea boots sold in Topsop either.

I sent out a tweet asking if anyone knew where I could find a nice pair, and got a reply suggesting River Island. As soon as I spotted these boots, I fell in love!

Sorry for the rubbish quality picture, I don't have my camera with my at the moment so this was taken on my phone. But, these are the boots! They're really simple, sturdy, exactly what I was looking for and the heel is the perfect size for me to be brave enough to wear in the daytime, without feeling silly.

I love high-heels for an evening out or parties, but have always been reluctant to wear anything other than flats in the daytime. Buying these boots is my attempt at overcoming this, and embracing a more sophisicated shoe to wear in the day! I wore these for the first time yesterday which unfortunately resulted in a few blisters on my toes, but I am more than willing to persevere and break them in. I felt really smart wearing these with my jeans, a grey top and black blazer and finally feel like I'm dressing my age (21) rather than looking 17 years old.

And these only cost £40! They were an early Christmas treat from my lovely Mum, but I think it's a perfectly reasonable price for a pair of Chelsea boots; literally half of what you'd pay for Topshop Allegra boots. If you're looking for a pair of Chelsea boots, I'd highly reccomend popping into River Island and trying on a pair of these, because I am in love with them.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. Thanks for reading!

Lots of love,

Mini-Lush Collection

Hi girlies!

Due to gifts from christmas and the Lush sale, I've managed to get my hands on a few products recently. I'm actually spoilt for choice when I take a bath, because I don't know what to use first. I thought I'd do a quick post on the Lush products I have at the moment + can't wait to use :)

First up, I have a So White bath ballistic from the Christmas collection. Described as apple scented on the label, it's a gorgeous fresh, clean scent. I also have the Christmas Eve bubble bar, which is so cute. I picked this up in the Lush sale, as it was 50% off!

Next I have a (very pink) Comforter bubble bar. I think this is my all-time favourite product from Lush. You get so many uses out of one bar and the scent is just amazing, a gorgeous, sweet blackcurrant-type scent. I also have the Godmother soap cut into a cute star shape, which I got in a Christmas gift box with the Candy Cane bubble bar - which you can see I've used half of already!

I also have Angel Delight soap, which was also 50% off in the sale and Summer Pudding soap, but both are in my bathroom and not particuarly attractive-looking, as they've been used a few times. Leave a comment and let me know what you're favourite lush products are ! I tend to stick to the same products every time I go in the shop, so I'd love some reccomendations.

Thanks for reading!
