ASOS Tortoise Shell Heels

I had my eye on these heels for a good few weeks while I debated on whether to purchase them or not. Luckily, the waiting worked in my favour as I saw them go in the sale from £52 down to around £30!

Almost every pair of shoes I own hurt my feet so I was hesitant to even actually wear them once they had arrived. The straps are kind of leathery/rubbery material which I thought was going to kill my feet but surprisingly they were so comfortable!

I really like the shape of the heel and sole and, of course, the tortoise shell effect is dreamy! They are not too small or too high - they're the perfect in-between sized heel that don't run the risk of hurting the bottoms of your feet after a couple of hours.

They are a really good quality shoe that can be worn for either nice-casual or going out. I can't wait to wear them again!

Unfortunately, ASOS haven't stocked them again since they went into the sale but they have a similar pair here which carry the tortoise shell effect all over the shoe.

Simple OOTD

A plain white tee, black jeans and sliders make for a super easy and stylish outfit. This chic look is easy to pull off and so practical for every day wear. 

I paired my white tee with trusty Topshop Joni jeans (yes, they have faded slightly) and my pool sliders. Depsite being called "pool sliders" they are so comfortable and can be worn anywhere if the weather is in your favour! 

I teamed my outfit with my medium sized black tassle bag and a Topshop leather jacket. I got my leather jacket a few years ago and I still love it so much. Similar here.

This kind of simple outfit looks great with simple accessories, too! Gold jewellery always looks chic, like this gold ring, for example. It's not necessarily a thumb ring but I thought I'd switch it up a bit. Similar here. 

CURRENT STOCK:

White tee - Primark £2.80 (similar)

Joni jeans - Topshop £36

Pool sliders - £10

Black tassle bag - Primark £7 (similar)

Back to Blogging

I've kind of neglected writing on my blog recently for a few reasons. I have just finished my second year of university and believe it when people tell you it's hard work! I know there are plenty of people who balance blogging and university but during the time, to be honest, I just couldn't be bothered and I've had some other big things to deal with. There's so many times I've thought to myself that I would post something but then I just never seemed to get round to it!

Since breaking up for summer a few weeks ago, I've had time to relax after a very, very stressful 2015 so far. For the last week I have been on a "educational programme" to Cyprus where there is a my university has its own campus. I completed a leadership programme which we all received a certificate for. We only had 2 and a half days in university (with a couple of long breaks during the day) and it's definitely safe to say we all had an absolute blast - both in class and the (lots of) free time!

I got back on English terrain just this Sunday and since I have had sudden motivation to think about my plans after finishing my 3rd year which I will be starting this September - scary stuff! This lead onto remembering how much I've been absent from blogging and last night spent a little time sprucing it up and making changes here and there. I've finally found the motivation to actively think about what I enjoy and what I want to do and I am now getting somewhere. I think a little break and some fun in the sun is exactly what I needed after this year.
