Shoe Challenge #177: Lazy lazy

 Mr. Piggy (not part of the shoe challenge, obviously, but still, oh so cute..)

 What: H&M Divided white wedges

Where: out & about

Wearing: H&M socks, Six earrings, Asos watch and Dorothy Perkins dress

Another hot hot day, so only wearing lipstick (since make-up is kinda pointless in the summer, no?). Rimmel 076 "Scream". I think I had bought it solely for its name. I love when lipsticks have interesting names, I remember a lipstick I bought AGES ago, like when I was 13 years old (:D) back in Puerto Rico and it was by L'Oreal and it was called "Pink Lemonade". It was my favorite lipstick like forever. I had to beg my parents to buy it for me.. I was so happy when it was mine oh mine.. Anyways, it was the best lipstick in the whole wide world. Unfortunately they don't make it anymore (I hate it when they do that..), but seriosuly, it was the name that captured me first and just after that came the color etc. (and it was just perfect!) Ahhh!

 So, anyways, back to the shoes. I bought these 2-3 years ago? During an H&M sale, they cost something completely ridiculous, like 79 Kc (that's a little over 3 euro) and they're surprisingly comfy. But being space-age white, they aren't the most wearable. But still they do go with some things..

 Like this. I love wearing pure black'n'white outfits. I reckon I didn't need the socks but since my feet are still in recovery, I didn't want to risk it..

Here Mr.Piggy modeling my new hat that I bought today at H&M. It suits him very well actually>)

Ramble Jamble

This morning I was completely uninspired about what to wear,
being a hot yet rainy day, I opted for slacks and converse shoes. No pictures needed, mind you. But as I was preparing myself to get to work I quickly went through my shoe challenge list to see how many open toed/ sandal/ canvas shoes I still had to get through. And the result isn't so bad, BUT (there's always a but, isn't there?) they are seriously hard shoes to wear, either purely for comfort reasons (some of the shoes are gorgeous yet ridiculously unwearable) or for them being inaproptiate for work/daytime/whatever. So I'm a bit stuck, aren't I? I don't really want to go ahead and be shoe saving my non-summer shoes just yet (in order to leave some of the fun for autumn) but my strictly-summer shoes are not my first options either. Anyhow, this weekend will be another type of challenge since I'm going with the boy to a wedding of some of his hometown/school friends, ugggh WHAT TO WEAR??! We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and the wedding is on Saturday, plus there is the post-wedding party as well. I'm thinking of wearing one of my Irregular choice shoes to the wedding or to the party but not sure yet how/what/where etc. Further more, my hurting feet still haven't recovered from the weekend hell shoes. Ouch. So that's what I'm thinking today.

On an unrelated matter, this is my school/uni photo. My last exams are coming up soon so yes, I'm having to think about school these days, oh what fun! Although, thinking about school is making me think about autumn and autumn fashion and truth be told, I am actually getting a bit excited about ankle boots, fur, colored tights, leg warmers, tweed, knits, leather etc. My silver lining.))

Yesterday's save

I managed to find a product image of the shoes I was wearing last night and thought it was worth showing on here, since you can see the wonderful detailing of the cut-outs and the straps.)

Shoe Challenge #176: Calvin

 What: Calvin Klein Yus ra elastic cut-out wedges

Where: dinner with the Boy

Wearing: Pull&bear jean dress, Zara tee, Mango bag, ?? scarf as headband

 I have been waiting a while to save these, cause I wanted someplace special to take them. But then yesterday is was super hot and that warrented open-toed sandals and my poor feet are still in a mess from the weekend shoes so I needed something relatively comfy. Bring on the Calvins!

I especially love the cut-out detailing, reminds me of United Nude shoes, but Calvin Klein is perhaps a 1Up on that one. The outfit meanwhile well, I was all caught up on RoadTrip fashion via the Asos Fashion Finder competition. So I wanted something jeaned up, with my favorite rockabilly headscarf. Yeah. Anyways, still a few sandals/open-toes to save so stay tuned! Xoxo, mwah!

Shoe Challenge #175: Simplicity

 What: Atmosphere wegdes

Where: at home

Wearing: Zara dress

 These were also purchased during the same Dublin trip as the wedges in the previous post.) Again, I don't wear them as much as I used to (guess that always happens in a way though, unless they're REALLY special shoes that you cannot fall outta love with.)

 I definitely need a new venue to take pictures. My flat is my love, but it's become rather boring for yall, right?

 The print of the dress is oh so pretty..

Well, that's all for now folks, I'm off to work.) xoxo, MsVeve

Shoe Challenge #174: Trusty yellows

 What: Atmosphere yellow wedges

Where: out on the balcony

Wearing: Dorothy Perkins top, F&F skirt, Ray Ban glasses, H&M headband

 I've had these wedges for a loong loong time, bought them during one of my Dublin trips. It was during my yellow stage (was in love with everything yellow, I remember that at the time I loved wearing these wedges with this Mango yellow dress which happened to be in exactly the same shade as the wedges, so perfect! Still have the dress but haven't worn it in a while..)

 I really do still love these wedges though.))

Having upped my number of shoes lately I needed a new place to store them. Tada! Honestly though, I'll either need a bigger flat or need to stop getting new shoes :D xoxo, MsV

Shoe Challenge #172 + 173: That's right, two for the price of one.

 What: Blowfish Malibu denim bow sandals

Where: the Boy's & my anniversary walk to the castle + dinner

Wearing: Zara silk mini skirt, Zara tee (again, wow this was soo a Zara weekend wasn't it??), Topshop robot necklace, Asos watch, Mango bag, Six earrings, then later Topshop bangle bracelets

 Ok, so are you wondering why this is a double post? Yes, well, it's because these Blowfish mules completely and horrifically RUINED my poor feet. Seriously, I have never had such blisters! Ouch!!!

 And I was trying as hard as I could to be a happy camper here, but I was in PAAAAIIIN! We had to shorten our walk about town, head to the place where we had had our first date (so cute, this amazing restaurant at Old Town Square that is situated on the rooftop with a perfect view and all, I was real pleased to return there and so glad in retrospect that the boy had picked it for our first date in the first place.)) After cocktails and an icecream treat we were gonna head to one of our favorite restaurants but I seriously couldn't walk by this point, so instead we headed to Topshop where I bought a pair of leather sandals...

 Tada! Shoe #2: Topshop leather sandals

They were on sale and all so I didn't feel bad about buying sandals at the end of summer and all, plus I NEEDED them sooo sooo much! After our mini-shopping break we headed to Colooseum pizza and had a huuuuuge dinner.)

 And drank wine. And had a joly good time.

Dontchya love a happy ending??.))xoxo

Shoe Challenge #171: Just being casual

 What: Zara leather heeled sandals

Where: trainride home from having lunch with the Boy's parents

Wearing: Zara shirt, Zara pants (gosh that's a lot of Zara, drr), Stradivarius bag, gift watch from my Mum, my lucky "pig and dog" charm necklace

 These aare one of the more wearablle sandals I own (heeled sandals that is) and it's a shame I don't wear them more, however it's because though I do find them interesting and all (wouldn't have bought them otehrwise), I think they might be a tad too casual for my taste. That said, this weekend they worked great with my browns.))

Train rides are so much better when you mess about.)

Shoe Challenge #170: Smokin'

 What: Monton strappy sandals

Where: My outdoor balcony..

Wearing: crochet Zara shorts, Mango top

 Today is one of the hottest summer days we've got here so to celebrate I'm wearing my new Zara crochet shorts (I've been lusting after crochet shorts ever since the Chloe pair in their collection last year). I was gonna have a smoke (I don't smoke much, just like once in a blue moon, but bought cigarettes after an argument with the boy last week and then left them on the balcony and they were soked by the rain) but as you can see from the picture below, I definitely wasn't gonna be able to.

It did make for an interesting picture though, at least something..

Shoe Challenge #169: Blue Secretary

 What: Stradivarius flowered wedges

Where: boy's office

Wearing: Zara Woman skirt, Zara tee, Mango bag, Asos watch, Asos glasses, Pull&Bear tooth charm necklace

 I had been lusting after floral wedges ever since I saw the shoe girl Cece wear a pair of Forever21 flowered wedges, sadly hers were already sold out in my size so I was really sad, but then I went shopping and in one of my favorite shops - Stradivarius - they had a suitable pair. And then they went on sale. I love happy endings.))

This is my secretary look, or something like that..

Shoe Challenge #168: me & my little one

 What: Zara leather peep toe wedges

Where: hanging with Mr. Piggy

Wearing: Topshop playsuit, Stradivarius crochet belt, H&M bangle bracelet

 Me & the pig were hanging out this morning, before taking him on a walk and then going to work* (am still at my flat and getting ready to go but y'know what I mean right.)These wedges are comfy and quite simple looking, only down side is they are a tad too big and so I can only wear them bare footed, which is a problem for me cause when I go to work I have to wear tights (to cover the tatts), but otherwise they're fine.

 I thrifted this Topshop playsuit a couple months ago and I love it, though again as the shoes the playsuit is a tad too big. Oh well. Better a bit bigger than smaller right?

yall ready for the weekend? xoxox

Shoe Challenge #167: The Boy's Bday

 What: Bershka platformed wooden soled sandals

Where: 'Magicka Zahrada' restaurant plus tram there and back

Wearing: pull&bear tooth charm necklace, H&M top, Zara skirt, Topshop bag

Last night we celebrated the boy's 28th bday but going out and having a huge feast.) Though the restaurant isn't far from where we live, it's still best to take two stops by tram. And obviously, we like to go with the best, har har. As for the outfit well originally I wanted to take my H&M midi skirt but it just didn't go with the sandals and I was decided on the footwear from the start. So I took my trusty Zara skirt. As for the shoes well, these are one of the most comfy heels I own. They were from the Bershka collection about two years ago I think? I remember the first time I wore them I took them on this godawful first date. I had met the guy the night or weekend before in a club and he seemed ok. Anyways, the date was HORRID!:D He was shorter than me in my heels (and it bothered him), he wasn't as cute as I had remembered, but worst of all, he had no sense of humour (and I like to joke around), got none of my jokes and it was just a nightmare, one of those time you just can't wait for it to be over. Anyhow, this time around the date was perfection (well, the boy & I have been together now for a year this Sunday). The food was delicious and me & the boy share our sense of humour. Gotta run off now, xoxo, MsVeve

Last Minute Online Shopping

all curtesy of Asos (totally my favorite place to shop, mainly for their free shipping). I decided I needed more geek chic glasses (and am thinking might get my perscription lenses installed into them, but we'll see, given the price), second I have been ohhing and ahhing over Miss KG heels for a long time and thought that at the bargain price of 15 pounds, it was a given (plus all those cute little bows?) and last but not least, yall know that I'm already on the autumn/winter band wagon. These I think will be a nice addition to my shoe collection. (*my shoe number will stay at 213 though, since I am planning to throw out/donate to a charity shop a few pairs that needa go.) The worst thing though is that new stuff I want keeps popping up all the time and it's just post pay day and already I'm almost outta money. Horrible horrible! I'm also currently lusting after a scanner for my computer, for I have a new idea for this blog but without a scanner it's doomed. It's all in the stars though, as these tings tend to be.)) xoxo, MsV

Shoe Challenge #166: Unique

 What: Bershka leather strap wedges with cut-out detailing

Where: out & about

Wearing: H&M crop top with heart print, Dorothy Perkins tank top, Zara jeans, vintage belt

 I've had these shoes for a while and I remember lusting after them for ages before buying them, lucky me they were on sale by that time:) I thought the cut-out detail in the wedges was so special. And at that time there weren't that many truely unique shoes on high street. So these were definitely a dream pair for me. Sadly they aren't the easiest shoes to walk in. (And in the picture above I don't have my left foot in the shoe properly, they aren't big, it's just how the picture makes them look.)

 I bought this crop top yesterday and I absolutely love it. It has button detailing in the back which is really sweet too.

So that's all the shoe challenges for today, see ya tomorrow yall, xoxo, MsVeve**

Shoe Challenge #165: Under the Horse's Arse

 What: Office multi strap/buckle wedges

Where: Vaclavske namesti

Wearing: Zara jeans, Zara sweater, Reserved bag, Zara tee, vintage belt, Gate tights turned into socks

 Last night on our way home from dinner, we stopped at a favorite tourist stop. The statue of saint Vaclac on his horse.. BTW these are the last shoes from my recent Office purchase: I'd been lusting after a pair of buckle wedges for ages and although these aren't quite what I had in mind, they'll have to do. Sadly though, they blistered my right foot and thus is the curse of wearing new shoes a lot I guess, they don't get "broken in" quite as fast.. Oh well, I can't help it that everyday I feel like a pair of different shoes, can I? Of course some days I do wear the same shoes over and over but that doesn't happen a lot.

I still quite like these shoes though, so hopefully - after the shoe challenge - you'll be seeing a bit more of them here on trhe blog:)

 What: Bata wedges that I DIYed (the bow at the back)

Where: work

Wearing: Mango dress, Pull&Bear belt, my favorite charm necklace (featuring a dog and a pig:), Gate tights

Dracul wants to be in like every picture, honest. It's cause he's evil! But otherwise it's all good. These wedges were bought on aukro (a version of ebay) and sadly they had the backs of them ruined. They were literally unwearable, until I took a ribbon I had lying around and sewed the ribbon (that I had cut in two) onto each of the shoes. I think I like them a lot more now, with the ribbon/bow detail. I think it's always good to DIY!:) and especially on shoes that didn't cost much.))
