Damn Temptation

I've
now worked at my new office for three weeks now, still a lot to grasp and
remember their ways of working; but I suppose that's normal. I like the fact
this company does flexi time, the commute I'm getting used to now, bit being so
close to Oxford Street is the worst thing for me! 

Summer Sale has been happening, I've already had a browse in
Selfridges 4 times already & 3 of the times I brought something (ｰｰ;) damn the sale, I have been doing so well in
not spending much on clothes then I go on a bit of a spree. Currently at this
summer sale, I've spent just over £100... Lucky I have gift cards! 

As I'm now in a new job, I consider it a new job treat! (typical girl
I know!) I think this year I've gone through a sportier looking phase of
minimalism, as lately clothing wise my eye has been on the nice basic
shapes.  

High street are doing many nice basics in a different range of
colours, or if you want to indulge, quite a few pieces by T by Alexander Wang
are pretty simple but with a twist. Not bad ranging from £20, but were out of
my budget range. I really liked this Acne vest with a placement print- I
completely disagreed with the price of £40 for it. 

Made out of thin jersey and to be honest I could easily make it! For
typical me my Achilles heel, no pun intended is for shoes!! I was on a serious
hunt for a nice pair of wedges; wish I ended up buying the pair in HK I saw!
However all the styles I saw were missing that je ne se quoi. The designs were
either quite nice but if it had more platform, better or the shape was quite
clumsy for my feet. I saw this pair of neoprene zip detail wedges by Beau Coop.

Very mad style but they were so comfy!! Selfridges struck again on me
as I fell in love with a sporty pair of grey canvas lace up wedges only cost me
£20 I'm happy (^.^) but if it were me to design the shoe, I would have wanted a
bit of platform at the front for more comfort! Hmm I wonder what being a shoe
technologist is like.... 

So as it's the Summer, I also needed some new sandals. They were
simple, cost me £8, however crap to run around in! Along with this Summer
trend, of course many women own a maxi dress. I however didn't own one until
this weekend, because I felt they were too long for me as I’m short (~_~;) damn
New Look. Well at least it was only £9!! 

Ok I am now forbidding myself going
shopping clothing wise until Winter Sale, as I want a nice leather jacket,
don't own one of those yet

Summer feeling on South Bank

As this week is getting warmer and the sun has been happily shining, people's moods lighten up. I ended up going on an after work "date". He told me to meet him and suggested, we could hang around in Southbank.

I thought why not, sun's still shining and it's nice to be beside the Thames.

As I Arrived to Southbank, crossing the Embankment Bridge, I noticed some colourful huts lined up. How exciting, beach huts on the Southbank, something fun and create and maybe rented out during the Summer. I just love the different colours and designs of each hut, so unique and quirky, reminds me of Exmouth's old beach huts people rented by the seaside.... Hmm now I've got that seaside song in my head!!

Once my friend arrived he told me that they had sand and decking further up along the South bank and they plotted a mini garden on one part with noticeboards saying "Southend is the place to be" and other typical beach phrases on bright posters. It's so sweet and quirky will be exciting to see once it's all completed

Summer Summer Summer!!

Finally! we have Hot weather, and I have to say, Oh my it's scorching!

Been enjoying the sunshine on the weekend off BBQ and Picnic. As I quikly do a little blog over lunch in the office, my homemade summer rolls have split... Epic Pharoah ¬.¬" Yeah I look so clumbsy eating now!

But as I blog this time I had an interesting thought thanks to my work mate; the classic jelly shoes! Now who didn't own a pair as a Kid? The were cheap, colourful, waterproof and comfy! F**k ugly crocs!

It's amazing how the 21st Century now creates jelly shoes for Adults including guys! I have to say they're a bargain over on ASOS!

How can I forget Vivienne Westwood x Mellisa collabroation of using the jelly plastic to make shoes in different shapes and sizes! Not bad Price tag either ^.^
