Public Desire: Faves

(L-R) Kelis, Tasha, Lailah, Neive - Public Desire via My1stWish
Hey dolls! 
So since I've been getting ready to head for some well needed sun, I have obviously been spending money I certainly don't have on anything and everything that screams summer. Not only have I been making weekly visits to the likes of Zara & H&M (my absolute fave high street shops) I have been scouring on line for cute pieces I can jam into my over flowing suit case. 
I find that Instagram is perfect for finding new and up and coming brands that offer you something a bit different to the high street. I have found loads of brands through the likes of Instagram and Twitter and bought myself more than a few key pieces for summer. All of which are super cute and different to anything I would buy from the likes of Zara or Topshop. 
I recently came across a shoe dream when I saw the beaut Sarah Ashcroft from 'That Pommie Girl' wearing a pair of the pink 'Callie' platforms (seriously dreamy) from new brand Public Desire. Like most girls, as soon as we get a sniff of Spring/Summer it's pastel central when it comes to re-stocking the wardrobe and these are a perfect addition! I then started following Public Desire on Instagram where I fell more and more in love with their new range of pretty shoes and mentally teaming them up with summer outfits in my wardrobe. I've picked out my four current faves that I'm lusting over right now (especially those Kelis platforms!) as seen above. The Kelis and Tasha's are perfect for pairing with a cute co-ord for a girls night out and the Lailah & Neive are pairs that I would wear through the day or on holiday - comfy and chic all wrapped into one! 
There are loads more styles to choose from over at My1stWish and with super affordable prices along with a crazy cheap delivery service, you really can't go wrong! If you don't already follow them on Instagram you can do HERE. This is the best way to see all their new and up and coming stock... it really is shoe heaven! 
Have you bought a pair of Public Desire's before? They are to die! 

Chloe Jade Green | A/W Collection

 Hello Ladiess,

If you are anything like me, you'll be a sucker for a new celebrity endorsed range.Reality TV star, Chloe Green and daughter of the man who moulds our high street wardrobes, has launched her second fashion range for Autumn\Winter 2012. Previously, Chloe had launched her own killer heel shoe range which she has now updated and expanded, along with introducing silk scarves, chunky jewellery, flats and boots. Excited much?!

Ms Green, 21, attended her launch last Saturday night to show off her ah-ma-zing new collection and when I saw some of the new pieces, I had already started mentally adding them to my Christmas wish list.The thing I love the most about the new range is the clever twist on the beloved Louboutin brand. Chloe's new collection of super high heels all have a green sole...which are all in the name of Chloe Jade Green, of course. Pretty cool, huh?!The collection is all about grunge, platforms, studs and spikes which is an instant on-trend hit for this season and I’m lusting after it all! 

At the low key launch in London (braving it without dad!), Chloe stated, "It introduces a rocky edge mixing up textures of mesh panelling and intricate laser cut work."Ooh, impressive. The range is definitely something to look out for whether it's sugar coated in celebrity branding or not, it's everything you could want for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe and perfect for grunging up any outfit! To be honest, whether Chloe is a celeb or not, I still love the range regardless, which I think is a bonus as she clearly has the talent to bring out an amazing range regardless of her name!The 15 piece collection ranges from £25 to £195 and is set to sell in Selfridges and www.topshop.com. Can we start Christmas shopping yet?! 

What do you think of the new range?

Stylist Pick Treats

Hello !

Today I got my new items from website 'Stylist Pick'. My boyfriend had bought me Cheryl Cole 'Ri Ri' boots as one of my Christmas presents and forgot to opt for a non-membership when finishing purchasing the boots. Therefore, it took £39.95 from his account each month and saved them as credits (oops!). However, instead of ringing them up and sorting it all out he said I can just spend them as everything on the site is £39.95, and he had two to spend (YAYY!).

So obviously these credits were burning a hole in my pocket and I couldn't wait to spend them. Stylist Pick, if you didn't know already have a different way of working as a retail website. Basically when you enter the site you have to sign up and do a quiz, here the website personalises a 'showroom' for you and selected stylists of the company pick out items for your showroom. These are then put in your showroom each month depending on what styles you have said you liked in the quiz. Another thing, Stylist Pick also only offer shoes, bags and jewellery- no clothes yet!

I quite like this idea, but it is a bit annoying that you have to sign in to browse and I always find not everything in my showroom I like. Then it's more time consuming when you have to click on each of the stylists links to see what other items are available that month. It would be a lot easier if you could just view everything but then I suppose that's the beauty of the site, in a sense you have someone picking your items for you.

Anyway, I didn't really like many items from February so decided to wait out till March. I am so glad I did as I found some beautiful pieces that I found so hard to choose from! I chose to stay away from the jewellery as I have loads I never wear and I'd rather get some shoes and a bag that I know I will make good use of! Everything arrived in a massive box which was all beautifully wrapped up in a massive gift bag :) Here is what I got...

Yellow 'Betty Boo' Platforms

Yes I appreciate these may not be every ones cup of tea - but I absolutely love them. I have a thing for yellow clothing and I have never owned a pair of yellow shoes until now! I think these will be a gorgeous pair of statement shoes for the summer and they will look pretty sweet with a nice holiday tan. I rarely see people wearing yellow platforms so I like how these will be that bit more unique to your average shoes you see out on the town !

I also got...

Andrea Tan Bag (also available in black)

How beauts is this bag?! I love it. When I saw it on the website I knew it was going to be on my hit list! I think it looks really classy and I love the clasp/fastening on the front.

New thaaangs...

Then to top off my day I found this gypsy style top I've had in forever which I thought was pretty cute. I love finding old clothes I can wear again :D

Has anyone else bought items from Stylist Pick?
