Ashford, take two!!

It's been a couple of months since I graced the circular shopping outlet with my excitement for all things new and shiny.. So between Christmas and New Year, for once, I braved the sales (mainly because I was owed a Christmas present).

I was surprised that it wasn't more manic but also hugely grateful, sales stress me out far too quickly and most of the time i'd rather pay full price. One shop we went into (which I shall not name!!!) I stopped on the threshold and turned around due to the sheer lack of organisation and respect of the pretty things strewn all over every possible flat surface! Anyway, after I took a deep breath I found it in me to carry on.. I entered Kurt Geiger.. It did look like a swarm of locust's had passed through, but luckily, being a big footed 7.. I found some little beauties that needed a new home! It was fate and a typical example of 'you don't ask, you don't get!'. So Kurt... Thank you! I love them.

After such a bargain in Kurt Geiger, I was still owed another little pressie from the boyfriend, so I continued to bustle away to find my next bargain. Ted Baker was heaving but I knew it would be worth the good fight.. Although it didn't end up as well as I had hoped, a few things didn't fit and so on. I do have to mention the amazing shop window though.. Loved the V.M going on with a quivering turkey in a box!


Originally £120. Outlet price: £35. BARGAINNN
I ended up in Reiss after doing the circuit and bought a shirt that I loved from the beginning. It's a little different but it also matches my new heels perfectly! Both items were 'firsts' for me, the Carvela's and the Reiss item. I need to also say about the staff in Reiss.. they were so lovely, I say 'just for a outlet', but they made me not want to leave. So thank you for caring! 


























All for now, take care

KG, Kurts killing me Gently..

London is a place that will always hold secrets in every little corner, it's only recently that my subconscious became conscious as it drew me in rapidly to Kurt Geiger in Covent Garden.. Aladdin's cave for any shoe addict like myself.

I've only ever graced the entrance of the store due to my skittish excited tendencies around all things beautiful but this day. This day I descended the huge staircase into a mirrored wonderland.

Nearly every angle was a mirrored wall, which at first I thought a assistant walked clean through a wall, yet you turn the corner and, WOW. The layout is just beautiful, there's not many other ways you could present such beauties so well. Even the accessories on their tiered cushion pedestals, every little detail was clearly planned.




Cutest little bracelets ever! I really want the bottom one...

Somehow I restrained myself.. Like never before! I left empty handed, yet it haunted me all day and night. If you haven't visited the Covent Garden store, you really must. I know it's been there ages but... I love it!
