Man Up...

*Topshop AVA Shiny Lace Up Hiker Boots*

At £95, although above my usual price limit, when I saw a pair of high laced boots being worn by Lindsay Lohan, I thought they were definately worth the effort heading into town just to try them on! Once walking into Topshop's shoe lounge and seeing the size 5 Hiker Boots presented so goreously on the top of a black shoestand, the sales women could tell I wanted the other boot without me even having to ask. I loved loved loved them so much, and however unsual they are in comparison to my unual style, they looked really nice with the Kate Moss £22 White Stripe Vest and some cute little 'Premium Denim Shorts' for £40.

Unusually, this was just a window shopping trip (which kills me to say) and a chance to take a look at the gorgeous Boots i had been dreaming about for days and days. But next pay day I will certainly be looking for a pair of ankle boots or a type of hiker boots to 'man up' on my girlie appearance. I have a traditionally non daring look, but sometimes when one item of clothes or an accessory stands out to me then i must atleast try it on to see how I could incorporate it into my wardrobe, and these are definately one of those items.

The use of gold, iceskating tie up like clasps on either side of the laces allows my imagination to go back to childhood, when you could not wear high boots without thick socks underneath and obviously shown over the top. Now this seems to be a style thats back in, and especially over winter time, I would not mind wearing an extra layer of iceskating socks or two.

PAY DAY

When pay day comes along, the right thing to do would be to set up a transfer of a certain amount of money into a savings account, in an ideal world I would do that, thinking of the future and all that. But being young, and after working quite a lot over the past month and a bit, Topshop Grande Arcade is a much more appealing place to put my money. Working for Arcadia, the 25% discount is always a bonus, even when just popping in with the definate intention of 'window shopping' only, and then my original intentions go out the window when i see something gorgeous in the sale rail.
From browsing over the website almost every other day to see of anything new, i came across the last season style highwaisted jean...in my opinion, they are something that should never go out, they are perfect for wanting the tucked in look (which i am advising a great deal recently as there are some amazing lose blouses around) or if you want to have something over the top then straight away the high buttons are gone.
This style are called the 'High Waisted Basque Jean' for £48, and I will most definately be investing in a pair. Even when the whole style goes out, the jeans will still be useful as after all, they are just a pair of jeans with a bit more jean material added on top!!!

The indigo colour jean is useful with most of my outfits because its not to dark or too light. Even though summer has been and gone, I realised that the lighter coloured jeans I have were hardly worn as the sun was never out to compliment them!!! The button style is unusual, because most high waisted jeans in the past only had three buttons but the designers obviously felt that if they are bringing them back then they may aswell do it and add an extra bit on!

Another thing I want is the high shine leggins from Topshop, a bit like the style of Sandy from 'Grease'!

These are a great match for any top of a plain material as the contrast with the leggings make an easy going yet stylish look.

Clashing Time

The essence of life, moving on, constantly busy, needing a filofax to keep your life on track and following a routine to keep your sanity. That is what a girls life is like, so much going on in your head that simple reminders will make your day and help you feel like your time was worth all the confusion. Whether the days seem as if they are going fast or slow are up to indivduals. But time is one of the only things on earth that man cannot control, it waits for no one and our mind makes it seem as if time is going fast when we want to accomplish things in a little amount of time. Essential parts of a girls life always rush past sometimes without a moment to appreciate it, but that is what the future is for. Realising how good things are now and however bad they seem, there is always better to come :D
