Style | Topshop Mighty Boots


So my trusted River Island ankle boots finally gave up on me after over a year of continuous wear, so off I trotted to town in search of a new trusty pair of boots when I stumbled across these beauts. When it comes to day to day footwear I am a boots and skinny jeans girl. I like an ankle boot, not sky high during the day but with a heel large enough to stack me up a teeny bit and these ticked all the boxes. I had been eyeing up the Ambush boots in Topshop for a while but at not so purse friendly £75 I wasn't sure I could justify, especially as I could only find them in brown. So when I stumbled across these for a rather nice £45 I snapped up a size five and hot footed it to the till. These are leather with an almost suede effect so I am not sure how they are going to withstand the wet weather, but nothing that a quick spritz of protector spray can't fix. They are super comfy, bar driving in them as the ankle is slightly taller than my RI ones and digs in every-time I reach for the brakes but they definitely go with everything in my wardrobe so I can overlook this little glitch. I have seen that they also do them in brown so I shall be scouring Topshops all over to pick up them too :-). 


You can purchase The Mighty boots by clicking here. Also I recently used the code 09689386509385584938 (yes an odd one) online via this site which gave me 10% off which equates to the postage and packaging at least! (hopefully it still works).

SHOP MAC, COOK MAC Collection

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past few weeks then you will be well aware of MAC's new innovative collection 'Shop MAC, Cook MAC' which has been gracing the blogging world for the past few weeks. The new collection, which promises a gourmet of glamour in several savoury shades is bright, fun and typical MAC. 

I'm not usually one to run out and purchase latest collections immediately, I tend to sit back and let the fad pass me by and then after all the hype has died down then decide 'ooh I might quite like that'. However, there was just something about this collection that drew me in.  Perhaps it was the pretty packaging (I am a stickler for fancy packaging) but whatever it was as soon as I saw these two lippies I had to have them. 

So, I ended up purchasing 'Innocence, Beware' and 'Watch me Simmer. I tried to get them online although the were completely sold out, I didn't hold out much hope trying the counter but to my surprise they had loads in stock! 





L - Innocence, Beware, R - Watch me Simmer

Initially when I saw Innocence, Beware I thought it was a darker shade to MAC's Hue although when you swatch them they are the complete opposite. Whereas Hue has more peachy tones this has very subtle pink tones and even a very slight shimmer to it. 


Watch me Simmer is an amplified creme lipstick and Innocence, Beware is a creme sheen. 

 Have you tried this collection yet? What were your thoughts?
