Gotta say, I’ve had the worst few days ever, including the worst pain I’ve had in my life (and I’ve had pneumonia really bad before), I present to you my friends: wisdom tooth extraction, followed by the dreaded ‘dry socket’ (sexy I know). My jaw bone is on show to the world right now, and it fucking hurts.

Anyway I bought myself these glorious ASOS boots earlier when I got back from hospital to cheer myself up…  nothing like a bit of retail therapy when you damn well cannot afford it.

1. Topshop ‘MOM’ jeans in black – these are high waisted and thanks to Josie I may now need to go down to Oxford St to try these on, I hate wearing trousers because I have an internal monologue that tells me they make me look too short and chubs. I know, I know, such a girl. Anyway these look like a really good fit, and high waisted is a winner cause it makes short people look tall! Please note: it was only last week I said at work I wouldn’t be seen dead in ‘mom’ jeans.

2. Topshop Sasha cat eye sunglasses – Why do they sell these shades in the middle of winter? They are too good, if I don’t buy them now I fear they won’t exist come summer! But helloooo, it was hail stoning today and I ain’t Mary-Kate or Ashley : / and I’m not in DUBAI anymore.

3. The ASOS boots as mentioned above! I thought these were a good cheaper (not leather mind you, kind of a pet hate in boots..) version of The White Pepper Walker boot, but for like only £35 instead of £90. I hope they are nice IRL or I will cry while stuffing my face full of paracetamol, ibuprofen and clove oil.

4. Marc Jacobs Baker leather watch – Omg I did buy this. I was obsessed with it for weeks and had to get it…. it’s so beautiful in real life and I’ll wear it every day forever and ever! January is a terrible month isn’t it?

5. Silver hoop earrings from Claires – Don’t think I’ve been there since I was about 13 but hey, I just remembered I had my ears pierced after watching some shitty Channel 4 documentary about people who regret body mods and kind of got the urge to wear some small hoops?

P.S I totally have loads more Dubai pictures to come, but have been way too dead to even think about it.

I feel like such a girl, I’m really obsessed with pink at the moment. Or maybe i’m just a horrible cliche seeing as it seems to be ‘on trend’ right now, I can’t believe I said that, ew. Anyway here are 5 things I like this week!

1. MSGM | Unisex Jumping Horse Printed Cotton Sweatshirt – It was from Browns when I found it online, but seems to not be on there anymore. Helpful, I know. It’s such a good colour and horses for the win. I’ve been wearing so many sweatshirts this winter, they’re just so comfy!

2. Pink leather purse from Kate Spade – When I grow up and become a proper ‘lady’ I should probably own a purse like this.

3. L’oreal Iced Latte eyeshadow – I am currently trying to hunt this down IRL after spotting it on Pinterest. The giant Boots at Liverpool street failed me! Next.

4. Silver wishbone necklace from My Flash Trash – It’s £97, but it is silver. I think it’s pretty classic actually.

5. Black leather Enter boots from Windsor Smith – Omg first of all, I love this aussie brand after discovering them from How Two Live I want all their fucking shoes! These boots are so beaut. If I can justify them soon, I will.

So at the end of the week I am flying to Dubai, to ride camels and swim in sand..
It’s hard trying to plan what to wear when it’s bloody freezing here and I’m not very good at summer clothes even in England.
Here are five things I think could be useful in 24 degree + heat.

1. Dinosaur backpack from Topman – I’ve never flown more than 5 hours before, so never take much on a plane with me. This time I’ll be taking my laptop and other bits so think I need to buy a bigger rucksack than what I have! If I can find this one before Friday, it’s mine!

2. Bird print 50’s high waisted bikini from Topshop – I love this. I’m too short for those huge pants but if I was taller I so would.

3. Sunglases from Minkpink on ASOS –  PERFECT SUNGLASSES. I did just buy these so couldn’t justify another £30+ on more… Summer though..

4. Alfred boots from ASOS – I was stalking these for weeks but was iffy about paying £50+ for non leather boots. They went in the sale though, so I caved! They’re so nice IRL but fucking hell hard to keep clean. I wore them once and i’ve already had them in the kitchen sink scrubbing the white bit to death. Hopefully much better suited to the desert!

5. King of the jungle smock dress from Minkpink at Urban Outfitters – If I can find this tomorrow in the sale it shall be mine! Well, as long as the material isn’t the annoying static-y material Urban Outfitters usually likes to stock (anyone else refuse to buy clothes that just STICK TO YOUR LEGS?!) major pet hate. Anyway, it seems Minkpink do sunglasses and dress’ and I only just realized they are a pretty cool summery Australian brand. I shall keep on eye on this brand for summer!
