60. Dandy Candy

This is how I'm currently styling my DIY shorts, which I have also now added studs to in the shape of (slightly wonky) crosses. I bought the studs on ebay-advice; if you do this, make sure you buy enough! I got a pack of 20 thinking that would be more than enough, but I used every single one, with none to spare-lucky I wasn't planning on a bigger design! I am in love with these shorts, if I do say so myself, and I'm looking forward to the summer months when I can wear them with only one layer on top, and possibly a bare leg if I am brave enough!

The boots I am wearing are the very same that I blogged about way back in October, from River Island. They never did go in the sale for me. They're actually about a half size too small for me, but it was the only size left, so I am determined they will stretch out...please say they will? I NEED THEM TOO! Unless by some perfect miracle someone out there has a size 7 and would prefer a 6...? No? Damn.

39. Portrait de LAPIN!!

Typical work outfit these days, though there were even more layers the last few days when the heating was broken! Nothing exciting I'm afraid, just standard wintery attire, as comfort and the desire for warmth overtakes my desire for looking nice-particularly when all I want to do in the morning when I'm missing my duvet is get some clothes on pronto.
I do reluctantly remove the mittens when I'm at work. They were £12 from Dorothy Perkins and the inside of them possibly makes them the softest item of clothing I have ever ever owned.
Hope you're enjoying the nice shot of my arse, I merely wanted to show off my new Lee skinny cords. The fit is called Scarlett if anyones interested, and they're a slightly higher rise jean, with very skinny legs. They also make me feel nice and model-esque as I have to get a 35 leg in them. I got them from work as a special one off order pour moi, so I'm not sure what they retail at, but from the cost price, I'm guessing at about the £75 to £80 mark. Pricey, but worth it, and they don't stretch out like mad like cheaper versions do.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY. Meet Betsey! Our new giant bunny baby. She's 11 weeks old tomorrow and is already practically the size of an average rabbit, ha. She's the cutest thing ever and watched Gossip Girl with me last night, so I know she has good taste!

Anyone else got a house bunny?

I'd be really really REAAALLY happy. Please? Both from River Island.

8. Lady Luck

On Saturday, the Gods of shopping put me through my paces, and my determination was rewarded handsomely!

In a previous post I mentioned lusting after these bad boys from Hudson.

Beautiful, but £130-which would take a bit of saving for me. And I'm not a patient person. So in reality would mean me adding to my credit card debt. I was at work on Saturday wearing my lovely H necklace that I got for my birthday, when it just fell off from round my neck. Looking at it, I realised the clasp was faulty and didnt stay closed properly. So off I went to Topshop on my break hoping to change it for a new one. (Sadly they had none left, but going back tomorrow when the jewellery section has been replenished). Anyway, whilst in there, I of course checked out the footwear section. And ohhh, what did I spy? Last pair, in my size, reduced to £25 from £50 (though website says reduced from £100? Hmmm) the same shape boot that I so wanted, different colour but still in that neutral colour range, with the perfect heel height!

My prayers were answered! God bless you faulty necklace! So I duly had them put behind the till for me, and even picked up some suede protector too. Only I realised when I got to the front of the queue, oh horror of horrors, that I didn't have my purse on me. After desperately telling the shop assistant that I lived just 5 minutes away (its more like 10) so please could he hold them for me, meanwhile painfully aware that I only had 5 minutes of lunchbreak left, I did that thing that I never ever want to do again. I RAN. I ran (ok, powerwalked) through town to get my purse (which contained a £15 gift voucher) from home, then actually really RAN knowing my break was long over back to my boots. What an attractive vision I cast, striding through Topshop amongst the young pretty folk, red and sweaty, and gasping for oxygen. However the girl behind the desk made the mistake of not being scared off by this view and commented "Ooh, these are nice aren't they!?" as she handed me the box. Giddy on exercise endorphins and lack of oxygen, I proceeded to babble at her about the Hudson boots, how the sale ones were so similar, and how thrilled I was to find these ones "in my size!" as my sweaty forehead glistened at her like a piece of greasy ham.

But I don't care. I've worn them everyday since, they've even survived a day on my feet at work, so it was worth the run in the end.

Oh, and my boss didn't even notice I was late back.

You can buy them on sale on the Topshop website here-Aruba2 Suede Boots
