Introducing the Elton heels by KG from Kurt Geiger. Taking to the spotlight this Tuesday are these glam rock inspired courts. I don’t know what I love more- the pencil heel, the green colouring or the sexy studs. I want them and I want them now!
These studded courts would look fab with a pair of 7/8ths and a tailored blazer for a chic date look or night out with the girls.
Priced at £130, they’re bound to take you from season to season in style. Nice one, Kurt Geiger!
The second Shoe Tuesday instalment comes in the form of these stunning Miu Miu polka-dot sandals. Bring a little sunshine into your life and a spring into your step and treat yourself to some super cute footwear which will last you for many a sunny day to come!
Wear with dark jeans, a fitted blazer and statement necklace during the drearier months and then whip them on with white trousers and a striped tank for a Rivera-chic look come summer.
Priced at £295, the Miu Miu sandals are available from Net-A-Porter.
How beautiful are these green Frenchie Butterfly heels from high-street favourite Schuh? The jade green colour and beautiful suede material are enough in itself to make any girl to weak at the ankles for these babies but the stunningly unusual butterfly design makes them totally irresistible!
I’d wear these with a printed purple wrap dress for the office or with a floaty maxi dress when spring eventually arrives. BEA-UT-I-FUL!
Priced at £70, they’re bound to help you beat the January blues. Go on, treat yourself…
One of my resolutions for 2011 is to try to organise my boxes and boxes of beautiful beauty products. Plastic storage under my bed means some of the lotions and potions don’t get used but putting them on display in my boyfriend’s bathroom means the gentlemen of the household will get their mitts on my L’Occitane hand cream and not appreciate the loveliness of it. What’s a girl to do?!
I think I’ve found a solution in this stunning pink Portobello cabinet from Graham and Green. The distressed finish means this cabinet will look gorgeous in any part of the house and it’s also available in cream and sea green if girly pink isn’t quite your thing. I’ll be stocking mine with body butters, expensive moisturiser and my favourite perfumes. And a “Boys Out!” hand-sewn sign!
It’ll cost you £295 but I reckon it’s well worth it!
I’ve just spotted the lavender Grow It kit over at Green Rewards and it’s now certainly top of my wish-list! Lavender is one of my most favourite ever, ever, ever things in the world- I have lavender pillow mist, lavender bubble bath, lavender candles. I am obsessed with the stuff! And, continuing with the gardening theme of today, I thought I’d feature the kit.
The kit comes with everything you need to grow your own gorgeously purple lavender. Once it’s done, I recommend stuffing some into a homemade pomander or sprinkling some into a warm bath for the ultimate bedtime treat.
Priced at £10.95 (or 4380 Green Points), you can add one to your eco-friendly basket now!
What’s that… National Sleep-in Day? Hurrah- there is a God! The clocks go back this weekend and National Sleep-in Day is there to encourage us to relax, unwind and catch up on a few extra hours sleep after a stressful year. Embrace it and take the opportunity as an excuse to indulge in some new bed linen. For me, there’s nothing like climbing into a huge bed with beautiful looking bed sheets (and I’m not saying the addition of Jude Law wouldn’t help either but that’s not happening any time soon!)
I’ve come across Bamboo Bed Sheets, courtesy of Between The Sheets. The 100% bamboo bed linen is extremely soft due to its special twill weave and 100% organic bamboo fibre. Soften than the finest cotton, Bamboo Bed Sheets are ideal for those with sensitive skin and the sheets stay fresher for longer due to the natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial component found in bamboo plants.
For those trying hard to be more green, these sheets are ideal as they are compostable and sustainable after years of use. The sheets are handcrafted in the UK from certified organic Moso, Si and Dragon bamboo.
The range includes fitted and flat sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, cushion covers and valances and are available individually, in sets and also in bespoke sizes. The bed sheets come in a range of classic colours (almond, duck egg and natural white) so whatever the decor in your boudoir, these sheets are bound to add the finishing touches.
Lie back, flip the pillow over to the cold side and enjoy the luxury of Bamboo Bed Sheets.
Prices for sets start at £80 and are available via www.bamboobedsheets.co.uk .
Remember that lovely eco-friendly site I blogged about recently? Well, the super lovely people from Green Rewards are giving one lucky reader the chance to win a gorgeous pamper pack.
The winner will receive a large organic cotton towel and some lavender and calendula soaps. Who can resist a fluffy, bouncy towel after coming out of a steaming hot bath? I love that cuddle feeling that being wrapped up brings. And, with a supply of the soaps, you’ll feel relaxed and calm after even the most stressful of days. Just the perfect little parcel to put a smile on your face as the summer fades away.
To enter, just leave a comment. I’ll be picking a winner on Thursday 24th September so you have six days to enter. Good luck!
I’ve always been quite green- I’m very much into recycling, I don’t fly and I’m wary of switching off plugs and running too much water. I’m currently reading this book which is changing the way I think about my way of living. I intend on making a few small changes in the coming months which will contribute more to saving the environment and I’m a firm believer in the Tesco mantra of “every little helps”.
When I came across Green Rewards, I was thrilled. Shopping and living a green life don’t tend to go hand in hand- do you really think that only-worn-once Primark shift dress is ethical? Excess consumerism, something I am more than guilty of, is many a girls’ downfall when it comes to bagging green points.
However, Green Rewards are all about giving you some major green brownie points (so to speak). With over 600 eco products featured, Green Rewards provide a one stop shop for eco-friendly gifts, interiors, clothing and more. The rather brilliant thing about this site is that you can earn, as the name suggests, green rewards. A bit like a Boots Advantage Card, the more you shop the more points you total up. The points can be spent in the Green Shop and you can gain points via High Street stores including Marks and Spencer, The Body Shop and All Saints.
I’ve added more than a few things to my wish-list. My boyfriend recently described my stash of Lush products as “weird hippy sh*t” but I think even he would be impressed by Green Rewards!
Have a look at my best picks of pretty girlie things from the Green Shop and let me know what you think of the concept.
