October in Pictures

Wearing my new sparkly collard top to dance the night away with my favourite girls and taking one of my closest friends to my favourite local haunts for the morning after's recovery brunch, for hot chocolates and copious amounts of food. Coating my nails in my favourite colour for the season- a dark plum shade, I chose Recessionista from Essie's new Autumn selection and topping them with the sparkliest bottle of glitter I could find (in this case Barry M's Pink Sapphire). It's at this time of year that I am able to dig out my favourite winter boots, and wear them in warmth, especially when visiting pretty Christchurch. Even prettier when the last of the evening light is shining down on the church. With cold weather, comes more rain and Bournemouth has had more than its fair share this month, calling for my trusty dotty unbrella and barbour. But it's not been all dull and rainy, a helping of some local fish and chips and a visit to the O2 Academy in Boscome with some of my Radio girls to see Maverick Sabre (who just for the record, was amazing) really brightened things up despite the gloomy weather.



Visiting Christchurch with its pretty bunting on the bridge over the river and a visit from mummy B included a night away and a scrumptious full english breakfast before a day shopping in Bournemouth where I was treated to a beaut new duvet set- perfect for the winter months. Learning to DJ on my friend's decks has resulted in a new found favourite hobby. A delicious dinner on Boscombe's beach one evening led to the discovery of what I am sure is the best burger in the whole of Bournemouth and the fairy lights delicately wrapped around the restaurant only added to the experience. As October has come to an end, it has also brought the cold weather and I have (happily) been able to bring out what is, possibly the cosiest item in my wardrobe, my (faux) sheepskin aviator. Halloween has also been and I made my first attempt at baking a grave yard cake- a chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream icing. October has been amazing, so bring on November!

A Designer Delight!

Never did I EVER think for one moment that I would be able to say what I am about to say. However, I am ecstatically able to share that I am now the very, very, very proud owner of a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, yes you heard right, JIMMY CHOO shoes. As you can probably tell, I'm still in shock and can't quite believe my wardrobe now houses a pair of Jimmy Choos. I did not expect to ever own a pair but as you all know I can never resist a bargain and sometimes as they say, you just have to strike whilst the iron's hot!


I went into the little Boutique in Cambridge, Giulio’s for the very first time actually looking for jeans and typically of me I left the store more than satisfied, but with a completely different item! Little did I know that Giulio’s carries some of the worlds most exclusive designers, Prada, Miu Miu, Lanvin, J Brand, Diane Von Furstenburg and of course Jimmy Choo! I had no idea of the extent of their stock and was in my element browsing rail after rail of gorgeous clothes, shoes and accessories. The staff were very helpful and friendly I was very impressed and I will most definitely be returning!



And here are the little beauties themselves...

With chocolate brown coloured straps, a cork heel, and a metallic lining they are the ultimate pair of summer wedges. They will match perfectly with a floaty summer dress or alternatively if the weather is a little cooler (like now, and actually like it always is in the UK) a pair of denim jeans or casual trousers. Paired up or down, they are a fantastic all-rounder, the weather better cheer up because I can't wait to wear them!
