in a pickle

One last exam... marketing will not stick in my brain eeek! Things are sometimes on the empty side here as people start to go home but like tonight, they can be super rowdy, which doesn't aid revision! We have plans to go out every night and on Friday there is a festival thing called Fallowfest which we get free entry to, like the Bops, because it's in our courtyard. Then it depends when my Dad can pick me and all my stuff up. I don't know what to do with the pile of magazines from the whole year. I'll miss my pink bed spread. I won't miss frothy orange juice. Like I said, I have a photo shoot planned to commemorate the surroundings... unless they are covered in smashed glass and pizza boxes as usual!

Today we popped into town to get a friends birthday present and I looked for some heels to replace my spoilt studded ones. They will be fine for the dirtiest indie club but not every night. I just wanted a cheap pair until I find some that I love. I found these and I love the triple straps like before and the folded over tip, almost like point shoes for ballet. They have a hidden platform which makes them quite comfy, and they had some with a stiletto but I'm more of a chunky heeled girl.

They were £10 from Primark, hoho. I didn't want you to form opinions after straight off hearing the store. All other shoes from different shops that I liked were £30 plus, which could be put towards something way more fabulous than a disposable pair of heels. I was planning to watch the 'devil wears primark' documentary before it was pulled but to be fair, a sweat shop expose could apply to basically every retailer. I got home though and couldn't resist planning something for the blank canvases. They're just itching for some DIY! You can see in the picture on the left that I've clipped a stud to the strap. When I picked up the cone studs, a flat pyramid one ended up in the bag by accident. These are much easier to work with for the straps as they come with pointed spikes that you just fold over. I'll get lots of little ones to line the straps. I was thinking of pushing some into the base of the shoe but don't feel I want to have another DIY failure with some brand new shoes just yet!

I can possibly get away with doing no more £3-a-cycle washing as there's less than two weeks left and I have enough wardrobe bulk, so today I delved and just put on a H&M dress from years ago with a panelled body. I haven't worn it many times because the pattern annoys me, it's like random doodles of unknown objects with flower doodles and little stars thrown in... weird. I can't wait 'til normal posts about actual stuff can come again, expect them from tomorrow!

[The Clothes Horse]

Pretty dress and I love those shoes. I don't think sweatshops should exist, but a few of us banning retailers is not effective, we need to change legislation...

I love the shoes - bit of a Topshop rip off though :P Most likely copied from a designer further up the chain though. Cheaper than Topshop, I must have them :)
What colours do they come in?

[selina]

cordelia- haha i love it!

[ray]

[Zoe]

I got these shoes today (before seeing this post). I dont think they look too Primarky, plus they remind me of Daisy Lowes Miu Miu pair. Very comfy. I wonder what I could spray on them to prevent them getting too dirty.

[Style Slicker]

loving your styles!!! £10 from Primark?? OMG they're sooo cheap.....great bargain

[Anais]

My first reaction was OMG WHERE DID SHE GET THOSE SHOES THEY ARE PERFECT. But unlike other readers who ran off to Primark, I sighed and lamented DAMN YOU UK AND YOUR LOVELY CHAINS! All we have are Forever21 and leftover H&M ;_;

[chrissie]

those shoes are great--disposable or not.

[ms-mojo-rising]

[Sally]
