"Oh Danny Boy"

What do these beauties have in common you might ask? Well in case you havent spotted the large chunk of equally gorgeous wood dangling of their feet, it's the blogged famous Dany shoes by JS. I don't know what it is with them, but I have found my self very attracted to them and pondering just how I might be able to balance myself on a pair of these beauties. These are not normally the kind of heels i gravitate towards (admire the choice of words) but hey f they look good and the catwalk, look great on these girls why can't they look just as good on me? And god know I could uses the extra inches that comes with them. Well I have looked and searched for someone to deliver these over to our little Island but with no such luck...until... Bakershoes who have kindly offered my desperate self a pair of silver Dany platforms and will ship them to the UK!

Now all I have to do is be patient (I think I'm capable of such a thing) and start practicing walking on stilts. Then again, if I can't walk in them, I hope I can at least look this good twirling around in my office chair. That will do!

Just a quick outfit post and a reminder that being serious 24/7 is neither good nor, well, serious. Going backwards and forth between Canterbury and London, I have noticed that very rarely do I take pictures when I am running around London. On this occasion I made a point of taking the time to snap some pictures to share with you.

I was also very flattered to see my looks here and here. Thanks Elodie, Laura and Elisabeth!! You can also check out my features in my 'featured in' section, an opportunity to discover new blogs.

Also, I hope you have noticed the countdown to 'the big 100th post giveaway' has begun. No excuses for not knowing as I have posted the countdown on the top of the sidebar. I will not reveil what there is to win, not yet anyway, but i will say this much. There will be two big winners!!

Here is a fun trend and a welcome change from all the stripes we have been seeing lately; Dots and loads of them. Above, the girls are sporting the large version of the dotted clothing. This looks especially good in dark blue/black and white, I can just imagine this paired with a green cardo oversized shirt. I also love the fact that it looks great paired with stripes, perfect transition look from the stripes to the dots.

The smaller version of dots have been seeing on just about any item of clothing and I love how it instantly gives any outfit a fun and youthful side to it. It looks like its time to swap you basic skirts, jackets and harem pants for dotted versions.

For a more vintage and old school look, try the black/blue or even red dots on white fabric. I really enjoy the 'homy' feel these small coloured dots convey an these girls make it look so effortless, it's perfect. Will you be going dotted this spring or will you stay faithfully in the stripped club?

New owner of my Nué colourful wedges: So, I took the time to appreciate and read through all your comments, emails, inboxes, DirectMessages and all other social communications. As I said before, I was not looking for a buyer but a new loving owner for these lovelies and I am happy to announce that the new proud owner is the author and creator of My Kinda Magazine. When checking out her blog, I immediately new that these wedges were made for someone like here who really knows how to make fashion playful and fun. So Congratulations and I will get in contact very shortly!

On a last note, get ready for the 'BIG 100th post GIVEAWAY'!!
