MUST HAVE - TOPSHOP & similar " Ash Bowie " Wedge Trainers!!

So I was in Topshop again yesterday and I saw a pair of wedges out of the corner of my eye and thought oh my lordy they have Bowie Wedges back in stock!

Topshop Athlete Wedges

Alas, I was wrong. However, these gorgeous little beauties from the Topshop own range do look very similar.  They are also a lot cheaper at £75 and best of all... in stock at the Oxford Circus branch, size uk 7 available online in Tan here!!! Really cute, not as comfy as the bowie wedge but worth £75.



So if you can't wait until the end of April/May to get your hands on the Ash Bowie Wedges why not try any of these babies out in the mean time ;-)

Not such a fan of the Ash Thelma boot but it looks great in black leather.



Ash Thelma High buckle Wedges in black £131 at Very.co.uk


These Would look good on the way to the gym in capri pants or such, not so hot for a night out!


Puma Karmin Lace-up Wedge in black £44 at very.co.uk

These Daniel trainers I am also unsure of but I included them because they look comfy and I like the colour, each to their own though.

The Chloé boot looks amazing on with skinny jeans.. yumm! However, as they go over the ankle, on me... not so comfortable!

Spotted on Cheryl Cole while she was filming her new video in LA...  Looking Great Chezza!




Chloé Sneaker Style Wedges £530 at net-a-porter

These are a little lower but not such a fan of the colour.

TOPSHOP SPRING FAVOURITES - Part 1 - Sunglasses and Bags

After a recent trip to Topshop at Oxford Circus I found so many glorious goodies that I had to dedicate a whole blog for all the gorgeousness I found. So here it is.

My favourite picks are where you see this butterfly.
The tag for each item is always below the picture of the item, so you can order/search for the ones you want to buy in store or online.

Starting with Sunglasses, which there were a lot of!!

SUNGLASSES department at TOPSHOP Oxford Circus, London

I like the way these aviators look on. But they are pretty thin and flimsy. Most shops have styles practically the same but cheaper.  You can get Similar styles at Miss Selfridge for £10 and Matalan for £5.  I actually got some really similar for £2.99 from New Look which you can see here. I wouldn't pay £12 for these.

22R01BGLD

These I love the tortoise shell look, the gold brows were a bit too much for me. They would look great with darker hair or a tan.  More pricey at £22 but they feel a lot sturdier and should last longer.

22X03BHNY


These I adore. Gorgeous powder mint colour.  They feel sturdy and the lenses go great with the natural/pastel hues which I am loving this season.




These I also love. Perfect size for a real 'celeb' look. These also feel sturdy.  The tortoise shell frames are stunning and the lenses similar to the pair above. Lush!!

22PO9BTOR



Moving on to bags, which there was also an amazing selection of. Starting with this super cute pink one.  Perfect for a night out or a day in the park. Good size to fit phone, wallet, couple make up items and such. Even a pair of knickers.

Lady Heart bag


This is an absolute favourite. A gorgeous minty green colour, perfect for a laptop. Comes with a shoulder strap.  Love it.

Retro Snake Skin Satchel

This is a super cute design.  Great for everyday when you don't want to carry a huge bag and perfect for a wedding. They come in 4 or 5 different colours.  The mint is my favourite.  There is a thin shoulder strap or carry it as a clutch.  Real leather for £32.. Bargain!

Scallop Mint Cross-Body Bag



Scallop Cream Cross-Body bag



Scallop Purple Suede Cross-Body bag

Looove this bag. So cute!! Cream so will go with most outfits this spring.  Also comes in Fuschia.







Ok, this little beauty had a butterfly stamp because it is perfect in everyway!! The colour is an amazing pastel pink and cream.  There is a cute little pocket on the front, perfect for your iphone or blackberry.. so it wont get lost in your bag and you can reach it easily when it rings.  It has really lovely carry handles or you can carry it over your shoulder with the clever straps tucked in side!!! This is a must and I will be picking one up next time I am in Topshop!!!


Double Handle Chain Bag



This lovely boho number is perfect for that festival  look!! I love the fringing and the padded cross design.  Really cute. A little more pricey at £120.





Cute little pink number.  Good for a dinner date or to the movies. Not my favourite but still lovely and pink!!

Pink Colour Drench Holdall


Love the design of this little bag. Perfect for a night out! Cute peachy nude colour so will go great with light coloured denim.  Has a shoulder strap and it is real leather! This bag comes in quite a few colours. see below. My favourite is nude.

Pinched Leather Clutch Bag Nude


Pinched Leather Clutch Bag Taupe

This is another leather number.  Love the Salmon pink colour.  Good size, similar to the one above.  Also real leather so a bargain at £35.


Leather Punched Cross-Body bag in Coral



Lovely Khaki/safari type bag. Loads of room to fit loads in.  Could be used as an over night bag too. Love the handles and the front pocket. Always a fan of an outer secure pocket for my phone...





 Loving the style and colour of this bag.  Real suede, can fit in lots and an outer pocket!!! A really sturdy and comfortable shoulder strap. Definitely worth every penny of £60.

Suede and Leather Work Bag in Coral

MUST HAVE - SPRING FASHION - What you need to know - Pastels


Pastel colours are my absolute favourite right now. I can't get enough of a powder pink skinny jean or a melted yellow t-shirt.  They look amazing on a sunny day and definitely brighten my mood.

There are so many to choose from at the moment so I have put together some of my favourites which are out right now...


From Left to Right: Asos textured crop top £12 | Melissa Crystal Wedge Sandals £75 | Jordan Jeans by Motel in Candy Stripe @ Topshop £48 | Lace Corset Crop top Topshop £22 | New Look Crop Tie Front T-shirt £12.99

The Candy Stripe jeans are amazing!!! Although they don't look as skinny on the Topshop website so I will have to hunt them down and try them on myself.  The back on the textured crop top from asos is so lovely. It would look great over a bikini.

Elizabeth & James have an absolutely amazing Spring 2012 collection. They are a little pricey but my they are gorgeous!! Just look at these shorts... LOVE...
