wednesday wishes 11

More of a wish fulfilment post this week....

Cupcake mould, Asos platforms, Snuggie, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Inception, Beauty and the Beast, Champagne, body glitter oil, manicure set, Aussie hair mask, Topshop voucher, Vogue UK subscription, Dior J'adore perfume, milk bottles!, Dumb Blonde hair smoother


Here's some of the lovely gifts I received, including a Vogue UK subscription finally! I've been meaning to get one for a while, but never get around to doing it. I wish they did a subscribers cover like ELLE UK, just to make it a bit more special. 

I'm still waiting to see what presents my boyfriend has bought me, as they got delivered after Christmas and he's still waiting on three (I think) to arrive from Asos. He ordered them on 13th December, which seems ages ago now. Hopefully they will turn up soon! I ordered boots on the 16th from there and they arrived on 20th, so I hope the presents haven't been lost in the snow somewhere.

These are the boots I need your opinion on:


They're the Avenue boots from Asos. I've wanted them for ages, but couldn't afford the £60 they were originally. Then they went down to £38 and I was very tempted, but luckily I didn't buy them then as they went down to £33 the next day. With NUS discount they were a bargain at £29! They looked incredible styled with various dresses on the site and didn't look anywhere near as high as they are in real life. The website says they're 6.8 inches in total and they feel it. When I wear them my ankle is completely vertical! I'm a big fan of big heels, but even these are pushing it for me, so I don't know whether to send them back or to sell them on to my flatmate, who is braver/less ankle aware than I am. There was not a chance I could have worn these out in the snow, so I might take them for a test walk today. I just don't want them to be left at the bottom of my wardrobe never worn. What do you think?

  4. @daisy chain - they are delicious! my favourite sweets.

    @pearlslaceandruffles - I'm debating whether I'd wear them too!

    @daisy kate - They scare me too!! I think I would, but I don't want to be the girl everyone stares at because she can't walk in heels! I won't be able to manage the cobbles in Manchester in these.

  5. i don't wear heels often if i'm honest, however i love the boots, and would definitely wear them loads if i had a pair. in my opinion you'd get a lot of wear out of them because they're versatile and could be worn repeatedly with many outfits.
    and seeing as they're pretty cheap you may as well go for it :D hehe

  7. Such good gifts, loving the big tub of milk bottles :) I would say wear them around the house a bit, am currently debating to keep a pair of heels too as I think I will kill myself in them and they were expensive!

  8. I've done it before and bought massive heels only to then sit and ponder as to whether they are just to high... If you really think you'll wear them, then keep them. But it would be such a shame to keep only wear them once or twice. If you think you're going to feel self-conscious when the walking starts then I'd give them a swop for something else x
