My Footwear Wishlist for Spring 2020

27/01/2020

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a bit sick of having to continuously wear my boots pretty much every day and spring can’t come around sooner. Yes I do have quite a few different pairs of boots – I can think of 6 at the top of my head although I probably shouldn’t boast about that or the fact that I can picture them in my head.

Laying here before turning my head over to sleep for the night, I was reading a news article about the shoes that are forecast to be *a big deal* for 2020 and I felt inspired for the next season (whilst simultaneously depressed that it’s still going to be a couple of months before I can start wearing anything that doesn’t cover my entire foot) and wanted to share some of my latest finds – all of which I will of course try to source secondhand alternatives for. I’ve linked the items in the pictures if any of my picks tickle your fancy, so feel free to shop away and I apologise in advance for any money spent that wasn’t planned.

So without further ado, here are some of my shoe inspirations for Spring 2020!

Flat Slingbacks

I really love the look of slingback, so I think this is the year that I go on the hunt for my perfect pair – because a girl can never have too many shoes right?! I’m more of a flat shoes kinda gal and it’s very rare that you’ll catch me in a pair of heels – I even opted to stick with my sandals on my wedding day when I had the most gorgeous pair of heels to rock!

Fresh White Converse

I think these are going to be trainers that I need to buy new as white canvas shoes don’t tend to be the kind of thing you can get secondhand, however I will try to source a new pair. The ones I have at the moment are falling apart, the glue holding the soles to the canvas has torn apart through one too many washes in the washing machine, so it’s definitely time for me to upgrade. I saw someone wearing a pair of the platform style the other day and was absolutely obsessed – I think to give them a bit of a refresh that it’s a style I’m going to opt for!

Black Dr Marten Sandals

What can I say? I’m always drawn to the chunky sandal look and these have been on my wish list for so long, that I think it’s about time I bite the bullet and put my hand in my pocket for a pair. Dr Marten’s are a reliable brand with shoes that will probably outlive us, our children… our grandchildren?! I think I’ll pop these on my birthday wish list and hope that Aaron will treat his doting wife to a pair of these beauts!

Mules

I like to think of these as a shoe/flip flop hybrid and I’m loving the smarter, leather style mules – I can imagine me wearing them to work one day and out shopping for another (I won’t kid you and say the whole “day to night” look as I don’t go out very often).

Now, I try not to follow trends and base all of my purchases on things I genuinely believe will remain in my wardrobe until they’re falling apart – it’s something I’ve noticed more and more over the last few weeks and I’m happy enough to wear whatever I want and not feel obligated to buy into trends that will wither away like the hope of winning the lottery (I don’t play it, so that’s zero hope lol!)

Let me know what shoes you’ll be adding to your spring wardrobe this year and if you’re someone that loves a trend! I’d love to know what draws you to them and how you make your shopping decisions!

When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
