I'm having a slight cat-themed week. On Tuesday I saw the cat from the 'A Street Cat Named Bob' book thats recently been released, I remember seeing Bob and his owner on This Morning a couple of months ago so I was quite happy when I saw Bob in real life, just hanging out in Covent Garden giving people high fives!

On Friday I finally got my other foot tattooed with the design I've been waiting absolutely ages for. And yes, it's a cat design. It was done by Simon Erl who was guest spotting at the fabulous Swansea Tattoo Company.

I also purchased this shirt. I love cats but I sometimes find corporating them into my outfits isn't the most mature of decisions. I did by the Charlotte Olympia rip off pumps from Missguided a while back but was quite disappointed by how cheaply they were made (I suppose you can't expect too much for twenty quid) and so I don't wear them all that much!

I fell in love with this blouse, I like the simplicity and smartness of shirts and this soft focus leopard head print added a more playful aspect to it. The collar with the small gold stud was an added feature, but I could take or leave that.

Finally, after months and months I think Ben has finally caved and agreed to us getting a real life kitty! We live in a flat and he suffers from allergies so it's going to be a tough pick, but YAY to me possibly having a kitten for company! I already have a cat called Chrissy but she lives with my mum and I miss her all of the time!

What do you think of the shirt? Do you love cats as much as I?

Midweek Post; The Newest Shoes

I bought these shoes about a week and a half ago when I visited Westfield Stratford for the first time! That place is crazy, I love the food court and the choice of shops, but the crowds were too much (but I suppose it was a Saturday...) and people were actually queuing to get into MAC........Really?!!!

I love loafers, I always have a pair on the go but I've never really 'invested' in such a sturdy pair. Me and my friend spotted them through the window and both of us fell in love, I got the pink and she got the black (which I would also like!)

I've been living in my Converse mainly, and although I love 'um I wanted something a bit smarter too, just so I had options. These ice cream pastel pink loafers are doing the trick, they smarten up any outfit but also add a dash of colour to my otherwise monochrome wardrobe.

What shoes are you loving at the moment?

Two new acquisitions for summer...

I thought I'd just do a post to show you two of my favourite new purchases that I've got for the summer months and know I'll be wearing a lot!

White canvas Converse Allstars; I bought these from Office but they're available in lot's of shoe retailers. I wore Converse when I was a young teenager, back in the day when the more beat up and muddy they were, the better! These ones I want to keep as fresh as possible, for as long as possible! Oh how the tables have turned. They fit my feet so comfortably, Vans rip my feet to shreds with their round toes and I think I'm inbetween sizes in those. I like to wear these with jeans, but they're also going to look cool with dresses when it's summery outside again, especially my grey marl midi dress.

Dior sunglasses; my boyfriend bought me these as a present last week, I love them so much and know that I'll never need to buy another pair while I've got these. I've never owned an expensive pair of sunglasses but I think Ben took pity on me because every year I've dragged him around the shops to buy a pair, only to complain about them a week later that they were either too big for my face (I have a little face)/gave me a headache/etc etc and I tried these on and it was love at first sight. They frame my face well, and fit me perfectly, no more headaches or horrible sunglasses marks for me, hooray! Thankyou Ben!

What items are you looking forward to wearing this season?
