Good Morning!

Morning everyone! I'm up on far too little sleep but, hey. I've decided I'm on a health kick as I'm embarrassingly unfit so actually ate breakfast this morning. I went with some dried blueberries and cranberries with yoghurt. Not bad for my first foray into non holiday/weekend breakfasts for about 10 years! Now off to get ready for work and as I'm having bike trouble I'm gonna walk (should take me about an hour I reckon). Wish me luck, heh.

Anyhoo here's some lovely shoe porn to get you through your day





Gorgeous no?

Ise Shrine

Took a day trip to Ise Shrine. It's beautiful and all Japanese architecture so very natural, with no red or garish colours anywhere. It was sunny when we left but alas spring had not sprung so I was bloody freezing! Still in love with these patent oxfords, they're perfect for sightseeing. Also trying out a new pink lipstick, think I love it!

Tuesday Blues

Wishing this was me at the moment! Not having the best of days. No motivation, yet loads to do. Ah holidays!

Double Denim

Stopped off in a sleepy little fishing village on our short lived holiday (more on that later). Decided to do double denim but grey and blue as opposed to blue and blue. Love my new shoes from F21 too! So comfy and perfect for sightseeing.

Leopard Legs

Went to watch a mate DJ so needed comfortable clothes and shoes to dance in. Decided this was the time to break out my new trousers from Zara. Wore with a vest top from H&M, cardigan from Zara, Converse from Hong Kong and circle scarf from American Apparel. Unfortunately I lost this scarf the next night at a friends leaving party, sad times doubled!

As I'm sure you've seen in the news over the past week or so a lot has happened in Japan. I'm currently still digesting a lot of it but I'm sure a post about it and how you can help will appear soon.

I also have a rather interesting story about the 5 and a half hours I spent in a police box here in Japan too! Don't worry we weren't arrested! And all is well now! But it did cut our holiday down a bit :(

Snow Leopard.

Went out for some dinner with my man the other week in my new top from Nasty Gal. It's soooo comfy! Sorry been AWOL for a few days, I've been snowboarding in Nagano.

Seeing Stars!

OK, cheesy title I know, and bit late on posting about a lot of FW stuff but I've been a busy bee. Aka marking tests and assessing students. But now it's all over and I can get back to the blog! So anyway, I LOVE STARS! So much I have a tattoo of 3 stars. So when I saw the Dolce & Gabbana Autumn 2011 collection from Milan Fashion Week I nearly peed my pants! It's fabulous! I love that they showed a girly look followed by a more masculine look on the runway too, made the masculine and the feminine elements stand out much more. I could post many many pictures here but I'll try and pick a select few.













I want one of these dresses in EVERY colour! Heh.





This one is gorgeous!




OK, so still many many photos! I just can't help it!
Loving how they're bringing the bum bag back (that's fanny pack for any Americans) too.
In short; stars, glitter, bum bags and socks with sandals = Fashion Chu Hi heaven!
