As the weather was so beautiful today I took myself off on my own for a long walk to clear my head and explore my (not so new) town as I still don't know my way around that well. I came across some absolute treats, right on my doorstep.

Good old loafers
Never underestimate good old Marks and Sparks. I was treated to these patent beauties yesterday and I absolutely love them. Perfect for adding a touch of androgyny and an absolute must for any capsule wardrobe. They also come in tan and grey/black and , as with most M&S shoes, they have 'Footglove' soles. Their Footglove shoes really are the comfiest, particularly for people with battered soles like me.
Patent loafers, £39.50 Marks and Spencers

Expressing my love for The Black Keys
Unfortunately I didn't make it to the Reading Festival this year - unfortunately so as I live a hop and a skip away from the festival site but it was still fun to watch on TV (while you can hear it all outside!). I was disappointed to miss the Foo Fighters (like most people!) but I was also really keen to see The Black Keys. So the disappointment was lessened when they announced a UK tour yesterday morning - December 12th at the o2 I'mma comin'!
I don't usually catch on to many new bands to be honest, you find that most just come and go with the trends, but you get the occasional gem which usually tend to be bands that have been slogging it out for years relatively unknown until they hit the well deserved big time. The Black Keys is one of those bands. I think I like them so much because they have their own distinct sound but are also reminiscent of old school classic sounding rock, particularly love their use of organs and their dirty riffs. I am familiar with and prefer a lot of their newer stuff, like 'Brothers' and 'El Camino' (I like to stress release by dancing around to Gold on the Ceiling like a loony) but I'm working my way through their back catalogue.
Hurry up December 12th! In the meantime, enjoy these (and do dance around like a loony to GOTC, trust me, you'll feel loads better for it :p).

Louise Gray for Topshop
Louise Gray for Topshop has now arrived, it's a really fun collection full of sequins, colour and glitter. I worked on socks off on this launch, do go and check it out and try out the make up. You'll have loads of fun with it!
Summer Sun
Sunshine and sunbathing before Winter comes to bite us in the ass.
I thought I had lost my trusty Lennon specs but they turned up in an old handbag just in time for the end of summer.
