Boux avenue: Razzle tie leg ballet pumps ♡

Some of you guys may know how much love I have for ballet pumps, so when I saw these cuties discounted from £18 to just £7.50 I had to get them in both black and powder pink. These Razzle Tie Leg Ballet Pumps from Boux Avenue are made to look just like ballet shoes and keep your toes cosy when lounging around in the house!

"Inspired by one of our twinkle-toed buying team, these ultra-pretty ballet pumps are a must-have for all girly girls. Based on the classic ballet style they boast a silky soft upper, cushioned sole and long pink ties for that authentic ballet dancer look. Slip into these gorgeous pink pumps on for an instant hit of playful prettiness."

Boux Avenue are a UK company and they don't offer a standard international service at the moment, but you can e-mail them to order overseas if you like! Visit their website here.


Lots of love,

Recent purchases: On the high street ♡

Hello bunnies! So ever since i found out how many lovely little treasures and deals could be found internet shopping some years ago, my interest in high street shopping slowly dissipated before i knew it. :{ Lately i've really gotten back into it though - there's nothing more satisfying than taking home something you love straight after you've paid for it! There's also lots of items that retailers will put out in the stores that you won't find on their online store. For example, just yesterday I found the cutest ever baby doll lingerie set for only £12.99 at H&M that was nowhere to be seen on their online store. Finally, it's so important to try on clothing and shoes, because they can look good on one body and not so good on another. Sometimes stuff can look totally different in real life than in pictures too. It's quite frustrating having to send stuff back and then wait for a refund!

Here's some stuff i've recently bought when out and about (some can be found online)!

Topshop edge paint satchel (Pale pink) ~ £28.00 ♡ 

I'm totally in love with this bag! It's the perfect colour (more accurate colour on Topshop website) and comes with an adjustable strap to carry it on your shoulder. It's great quality and I love the subtle spike details on the buckles. It also works with lots of different outfits and I like contrasting it with blue denim. The only downsides are that it's a little expensive and doesn't carry a whole lot of stuff.

River island cross stud earrings ~ £1.50 ♡ + River island rose gold plated star necklace ~ £10.00 ♡

These are really simple accessories but can add that extra touch to many outfits, whether floaty and pastel or dark and studded. They're really tiny charms, so it was a little difficult to part with my cash for the star necklace but the rose gold finish was too hard to resist. :3 I think these accessories will get a lot of wear!

H&M lovely bow shoes ~ £9.99 each (in-store) ♡

Ballet flats are a wardrobe staple for me, and these ones are such good value for money! I find it hard to find shoes that fit properly, but these are super-comfy. These bows make the shoes look more expensive than they really are and i like to wear these with the 3-pack thin socks that H&M also sell.

H&M Star nail polishes ~ £0.50 (discounted in-store) ♡

These nail polishes are so cool! xD They were only 50p each and i can't wait to give them a try! H&M also have these in other colours but i'm not sure if they're still being continued, so if you like them, you might have to be quick to snatch them up!

Until next time!

Storenvy: Syndrome sweetie heels ♡

Hello! I think I have a crazy shoe shopping addiction recently and I'll be showing you another pair in this post today! >w< I bought these Sweetie Heels from the SYNDROME Storenvy!

I ordered these on the 4th July, they were dispatched on the 13th July from China and I received them on the 17th July so shipping is pretty good! The shoes cost $35 and they are $15 to ship on their own to the UK. They came wrapped in fabric inside a taped box and plastic wrap. The box was a little squished but the shoes were fine. :D

They look pretty much like the photos, just with a few more imperfections but no scratches or anything serious. I think they're so cute in real life! I'm a shoe size UK 4 so I ordered a 37 and it fits like a glove with no slipping at the back which I normally have problems with. Even though they're high heels I find them really easy to walk in and comfortable. They're well-made and are easy to put on and take off with the metal closure. I like how they look with thin lace-trim socks.

 

Bye-byeee! :B

Minkyshop + tea party shoes ♡

Hello! I'd like to share my experience with MinkyShop today, a retailer of Asian fashion, footwear and cosplay. I was looking for a cute new pair of shoes because all of the shoes in my collection are black. >w< I decided to go for a pair of white tea party shoes in medium (23.5cm) by Secret Shop costing £35.99. These shoes are usually worn with Japanese lolita clothing but I think they can look cute with other clothing styles too! They come in four different sizes and MinkyShop offer them in an array of colours.

Shipping + Communication ♡
Shipping was about £13 for the shoes which was kind of expensive, however it came 10 days (inc. weekend) after it was dispatched, including a tracking number by EMS. The communication by e-mail with Minky was really quick and one of the friendliest I have come across. The shoes came very securely in a taped box.

Quality + design ♡
They look pretty much the same in real-life as they do in the pictures. The straps clip on but are also adjustable and fit really well. The materials used are strong and the shoes are well-made - no hot glue in sight! The only imperfection I could find was a tiny scuff in the front of one shoe which will probably be unnoticeable when worn. The sole is also very hard so they feel a little odd to walk in but I think it'll be okay when I break into them.

Sizing ♡
These shoes are little big without socks and slip at the back but are absolutely fine with socks.

Overall ♡
I'd super recommend MinkyShop as a retailer as they offer great customer service. Be aware that some other items may take longer to ship due to the suppliers. These shoes are cute but be careful with the sizing as with any other shoes you buy online!

Thank you for reading!

Heart print socks + dolly shoes ♡

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely summer! My first post of July will be about a couple of recent purchases from ASOS that look super-cute together, go great with many different outfits and the best thing of all costs less than £25! :D See more ASOS stuff here!

ASOS Socks With Heart Print ~ £4.00 ♡
These pop socks have an adorable black heart print and frilly cuffs. They add a girly touch to both heels or flats and don't make your legs look shorter like some socks do. I've worn them a few times and they appear to be durable considering how thin the material is. ASOS also had this in a nude pink but they sold out before I could get them. ;___;


New Look Riddle Black Heeled Shoes ~£19.99 ♡
These lovely heels can take you all the way from day to night. They give that little bit extra height yet still so easy to walk around in. I think these are a great choice if you're not used to walking in heels yet or if you want something that'll work both dressed up and down. They look good with the pop socks above or knee-high socks or suspenders.

Lots of love,

ami ♡
