246 The Last of the Vaca

 What: Pull&Bear checked trainers

Where: Dubai

Wearing: ABOVE - I just wanted to show you the beautiful aquarium at the Dubai Mall (this picture has - obviously - nothing to do with the shoes;) - but anyways, Zara scarf, H&M tee

BELOW - H&M men's shirt in XS, H&M tank top, Zara sunglasses, H&M mama pants, RiverIsland bag, F&F socks

These shoes were a godsend. I had forgotten to pack any go-to-comfy shoes with me for my trip, so when I was blistered from the shoes I wore for the flight I had quite the problem on my hands: the boy wanted to do a LOT of walking and my feet were killing me in all my packed shoes. The shoes I brought were all good BUT since I already had sensitive feet, they just wouldn't do. So I set out to find a comfy and still stylish pair of converse-esque shoes. Pull&Bear is the place to go. I already own a pair of Pull&Bear trainers and I love them dearly. So I was super happy to find the last pair of these shoes (shoes I had been eyeing in Prague for quite a while actually). I love the checked upper and the white sole. Perfect with my checked shirt:) I wore them loads during the trip and I dare say that when the snow melts away, I'll be wearing them a lot here in Prague as well.)

Shoe Challenge 245: Burj Khalifa

 The view from the top almost the top.

 What I wore:

Topshop dress, River Island tights, Mango sweater, River Island bag, Next ballerina flats - I love the straps across the ankle, River Island earrings, complementary rubber bangles from the dolphinarium:) - they matched my outfit..

 I really had such a good time in Dubai (even though I didn't want to go there at first). The food was delish, the sights were quite something and the shopping was good. The dress, bag, tight, earring AND shoes were all bought on this trip. The bag was sadly cursed (first I returned a pair of RI jeans that had weird pockets in the back which I didn't notice instore and so I got the bag instead, and then the zipper broke on the bag so I had to go and return the bag for a new one with a good zipper - however this was all very traumatazing for me cause I seriously HATE returning things!)

A breathtaking view of Dubai. This was on our last night there and I'm so glad we got tickets for teh night "tour" of the Khalifa tower (you ride up in the world's fastest elevator and can see the view from all the sides). I have one more shoe save from this trip and then I'll have to do some shoe saving here. What a horrid thought, it is SO cold out! I have been surviving in my Moonbooots ever since our return and though I love these bad boys I do dearly miss the sunshine.. talk soon, xox.

Dolphine Love

 The most amazing part of our trip was swimming with the dolphines.

It was an experience that i will cherish my entire life..

I was so surprised by a)how well trained they were and b) how much they enjoyed to cuddle,

sadly I didn't get photographed as I was kissing my dolphine//

He was 27 years old and a total sweetheart!

244 French Connection

 What: Frnech Connection Sandals

Where: Dubai - in front of the Khalifa tower, Dubai - after swimming with dolphines!

Wearing: Zara mullet skirt, H&M leggings, H&M tee, Zara scarf, Zara sunglasses

I wore these sandals A LOT whilst on holiday. They are slightly quirky with the off-centered strap and the blue and black color combo. And they are sooo comfy. Perfect for touring about on vaca. You already heard about my obsession with the mullet skirt. I long to be wearing it rightthisminute but sadly it is minus15 celsius here and I'll be staying indoors until the spring my exams on thursday morning. I should be studying but instead I'm stuck on a good book and wrapped up in bed. Ultimately the best choice for those freezing winter days... xox, Miss V

Shoe Saving in Dubai (243)

 While in Dubai I bought and saved these awesome River Island ankle boots. Sadly the only picture I found of myself wearing them is a bit fuzzy. I was wearing my new & favorite skirt from Zara (yes, it IS a mullet skirt - and it is completely awesome!), h&m grey tank top, Forever21 sweater and a pair of black tights. The second pic is from the River Island website. I love the zipper on the side and the slightly slouched look of the upper. I really love these shoes (AND they are actually comfy:))

One of my favorite things about visiting Dubai was this sweets store in the Mall of the Emirates, it had all of my childhood favorites: Nerds, Gobstoppers & the Charleston Chew. I was in heaven..

I'm Back Plus a Shoe Save

 Hey everyone! Yesterday we returned from our vacationa and I'm slowly sliding back to the normal routine of things - including this here blog. I'll be posting from the trip soon (have some shoe saves pilled up) but for now you'll have to settle with a photo from the boat tour of Dubai (wearing: Zara scarf, Forever 21 sweater, Mango black sweater) and a picture of the shoes I wore for the flight there. Sadly they totally hurt like hell so I didn't wear them again to get a good photo and the flight outfit was well a bit boring truth be told. I did buy a few pairs of shoes (7) while on vacation so I have some shoe saving ahead. Meanwhile, this is shoe save number... 242.

I sure hope they get comfier with time cause I was planning on getting a lot of wear out of them come spring. Here's to hoping, xox, Miss V
