Happy Birthday!

Hello All

This is the most belated Birthday haul ever but, i thought i would quickly show you all what i got for my birthday! I think you all know me by now to know that i am in no way bragging, i'm extremely grateful for everything i receive from anyone and i am doing this post to show my appreciation not to brag or anything like that! So here goes!

So firstly my mam bought me this beautiful Topshop jacket which i have wanted for the longest time but just didn't want to part with £60 for it, so my beautiful mother bought it for me. 


My little sister (not so little) bought me these amazzzing Miss Selfridge shorts:


And these crazy presents, very typical of my sister and I:
Stick on food eyes, to be mature and make our food come to life.
A cute chocolate bar.
Finger Moustaches.


I love these presents, she knows me too well! 
My love for moustaches will never end! My friends and I went out for my birthday and we each wore a moustache on our fingers hence why a few are missing in the picture.
Here's me wearing mine, i've cut my friends out as i'm not sure they will all want publicised on my blog haha!:


Ok, my step-dad and my mum put a little box together for me filled with loads of the things i love! I love little cute thoughtful presents like this! As it was full of little goodies i've only included a little sample of pictures of what was inside as i would be here all day if i were to show you everything!


Then, my lovely boyfriend gave me loads of beautiful things including this massive lot:




I was in love with both of these Mean Girls themed tops and i had no idea he was getting me the shoes but he knows me too well, i love them!

However some of my fave presents aside from my mums and my sisters, were these two from Sean:

Crown Links of London charm for my bracelet.

Annnnd...


Amazing crystal bra. I am overly in love with this, what girl wouldn't like a crystal encrusted, sequinned, beaded bra? It looks so beautiful under low arm-holed tops or low cut, backless tops and makes a statement to simple outfits. I am yet to wear it out but when i do i will be sure to post how i style it!

Anyway,
Thats pretty much everything i got for my birthday!
I love everyone who got me presents and wished me a happy birthday and i truly had a lovely day!
Hope you all enjoyed this haul, i have loads of hauls and reviews coming so stay tuned!

Spiky Booties!

Hello Ladies 

At my work, my boss refers to me as Imelda Marcos, who was said to own over 3000 pairs of shoes! She replied to this claim saying "I did not own three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty."

I wish I even owned half of that but, I do have a fair amount! Its like shoes call to me and make me buy them! I'm not being mental, come on girls, admit it, something in your head makes you suddenly need to blow all your wages on shoes rather than food for the month..

So, when I was asked if I wanted to review a pair of Barratts shoes, obviously my head, and every other part of me, jumped at the chance.

Picking a pair drove me mad as I literally love every shoe on their site, there is not one pair of flats, boots, heels, sandals, wellies I can say I would not buy! However, I eventually decided on these bad boys:

(please ignore my sock lines, haha)

You all know by now if you've read my blog from the beginning back in October last year, that I have an obsession for anything studded or spiky, therefore these shoe boots tick all my boxes! They are really well made and the spikes feel really secure so I have no worries that they will come loose after the first wear, unlike my much more expensive CJG shoes which did exactly that.


I really loved these in the leathery look version but unfortunately they didn't have those left in my size so I picked these suede-like ones instead. Whats worse, is that i am between two sizes and since receiving these I've realised that they are slightly too big for me so i could have got the leather ones in a 5. Oh well, can always have two pairs right ;)?

I picked these as I really love shoe boots but I don't really own any so I thought they would be a good change to my Lita dupes a which are forever on my feet! They go with everything and are really easy to dress down with casual jeans and an over-sized knit, or even to dress up and look a bit more edgy with a leather look skater skirt and a crop top for a night out. You can tailor them to the look you are going for as you can add them to a floral, bright girly outfit or go a bit more luxe leather and make them a bit more biker girl.

On the inside, these boots have smaller, flatter studs so that you don't spike yourself and the outside has pretty big, sharp spikes.


Overall, I could not recommend these boots more, they are super comfortable despite how high they are, they are really on trend, real eye catchers and really versatile. They are an amazing addition to my forever expanding footwear collection! ...Imelda who ;)?

You can buy these beauties for only £32 down from £40 right HERE or you can visit the Barratts home page and have a look around for yourself to see if anything takes your fancy as they have loads of lovely shoes right HERE.

Do you like spiked shoes or spikes in general? 
I don't think I'll ever get over them!
