Golden Zara Love

A few weeks ago I saw Kayleigh from Couture Girl post an Instagram photo of a pair of gorgeous Zara heels with the caption that she was selling them. As the shoe-holic and shopaholic I am, I went for it and bought them. A short week later and they were on my doorstep - literally. I was about to step on them as I walked out! Anyway, I love them so much that I figured it was only a matter of days before I had to share them with you guys, so here they are - my precious Zara heels in all their glory...on my feet. I hope none of you have a pet peeve about feet...nor a fetish. Both would make this a bit awkward. Now, enough of the ramble!

These heels are pretty much just your normal sandal heels in black suede, with a strap over the toes and one around the ankle, with a little gold buckle to hold it in place. The actual heel part of them is what's so gorgeous as it is covered in shiny gold! Ahhh, love. As for how comfortable they are - considering the heels are thin they are very comfortable. The perfect pair for any occasion whether it may be work, shopping, dinner, a party, a wedding - anything, anytime :)

I realised it's a bit odd to dedicate a whole post to one pair of shoes but oh well. If you do enjoy these kind of haul posts then let me know and I will do some more - I have some new purchases lying around that I can show you if you'd like it! And if you haven't already I would really appreciate it if you'd follow my blog on Bloglovin' and Facebook :)

Lots of Love,

Em

All White and Goddess-Like

Hello lovelies! First of all, I have now selected the winners for my giveaway (by random of course) and they are Molly, Megan and Hanna! Congratulations to the three of you! Second of all, I am now in Cartagena - a beautiful city (well the old part of the town is at least) at the coast of Colombia. The weather here is very humid and very, very warm. I'm talking 35 degrees ++++. Anyways being here has made me forget my blog a bit - as I always do on holiday, but I am taking pictures and filming a bit all the time so a big - ass post on the whole of my holiday will be up once I get home. 

Okay, enough rambling. The other night we went out to eat at a very lovely restaurant from which I ended up practically rolling home from because I ate so much. As a beauty-fashion gal I saw this as an opportunity to whack out my new, long, white Zara dress that I got the other day. I paired it whit my mint H&M bag, my new studded leather heels from Tennis (an incredible Colombian shop) and some bronzed-up eyes. Realised afterwards how greek goddess inspired it was but oh well, that's not the worst thing one can appear like eh? My mom snapped a few pictures of me before we left the hotel so you can judge for yourselves. And please excuse the awkward facial expressions...I won't have my mom take my pictures from now on, haha.

For the eyes I used the Maybeline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze (US name: Bad to the Bronze) as a base, swiped MAC's Woodwinked all over and added some of MAC's Cork through the crease. Then slid some of the Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eyeliner in Noir and added a bit of Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara  to my lashes. Voila, goddess - like golden eyes. On the lips I patted some of MAC's Costa Chic and for a bit of a glow I patted some of my creamy highlighter from TopShop across the tops of my cheekbones.

Now I'm off to distract my self from the insanely itchy mosquito bites that so stupidly have decided to appear on my legs...

Lots of Love,

Em

Love my new Levi's shorts. They are the perfect lenght, sits nicely on the hips and fit loosely around the thighs, just the way I like it!

Did someone say Alexander Wang?

I'm afraid not, but these gorgeous heels do come quite close in appearance(except from the holes), although price wise they are far, far, far cheaper. In fact I didn't pay more than £10 (100NOK) for them in the January sale at H&M! The quality may not be nearly as good as a pair of Wang's (not that I would know, but I assume so - my budget certainly does not stretch far enough for owning a pair of Alexander's designs, even though I wish it did). Anyway, these cheap-ass pretties are quite a decent dupe (I know they aren't identical at all, but the style is rather similar I think) for those of us who want to pretend that we do indeed own designer  shoes whilst we don't ...at all :) Ok, enough about that, you can judge as to how far they look alike yourself, but regardless of the resemblance I still think they're pretty gorgeous, and they are actually comfortable - that is if you are a little used to heels, if not then well, they aren't exactly as comfortable as flats..duh. Ok, I'll let you have a look and judge yourself:

A teeny tiny similar at least? No? Ok...

I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you want more of these "cheap dupes of designer brands" posts, then let me know! It can be for Make-up, Clothes, Shoes, Accessories et.c it's up to you :) 

Have a nice day!
