Lovely Lovely Shoes :)

Hey lovely Lilys,

So yesterday I went shopping with my mum and grandma. We went to The Trafford Centre. I like go shopping in the TC because it has all the shops you could ever need under one roof, it is good to be indoors when the weather is poor and its free parking!!

I wasn’t actually in the mood for shopping as I feel like if I take any time off from applying for jobs I might just miss something amazing. With that said, I am also happy to have some time off.  With it being a miserable rainy Monday it was fairly quiet. Bonus!

The shopping trip wasn’t really about me but the only thing I was kinda looking out for, were some nice shoes for any potential interviews. It actually dawned on me last week that I didn’t have any nice shoes to wear to an interview. I had an interview with a recruitment agency last week and I felt quite embarrassed about my shoes because I’ve worn them so many times and were starting to look a bit scuffed. Hopefully, the interviewer didn’t realise! *fingers crossed*

(I found out today that I didn’t get chosen for the two roles the agency had put me forward for and in all honesty it felt rubbish. I must keep positive though).

I found this quote that made me feel better.

Looking for shoes is pretty much a nightmare for me. I am a tiny, tiny size 3 (36) and to make it worse the heel of my foot is quite slim. This means that whenever I try on heeled court shoes (without any straps or fastening) the shoe just slips off.  Is there anyone out there who has the same problem? PLEASE tell me if you do because then I will know I am not the only one.  I must have tried almost every shoe out there and not one fits me well.  Although, I still do try now and again living in the hope that one day they won’t slip off.

Anyway on a positive note, I found a lovely pair of shoe boots from Miss Selfridge.  They really fit in well with the lace trend for SS13.  They are pretty high but classy and on trend so will be great for interviews (providing I can walk in them) or for when I want to go out for dinner/drinks with my friends.

I’m also feeling rather guilty because I bought another pair of shoes…just because I liked them and wanted them! I found them in the sale section of Dune and thought 'YES I HAVE FOUND A BARGAIN'. Once I realised that I LOVED them I found out that they were actually FULL PRICE!! £110. *sad face*

I had gone way too far and it was too late..there was no going back and also my mum is a bad influence on me, she kept saying how lovely they are and how they are real leather and how I will get my wear out of them. Once I justified them to myself I bought them…eeek! 

Dune £110

I really love them and (at risk of sounding like my mum) they are extremely comfortable!

NTAs 2013 - Who Dressed The Best?

Who saw the National Television Awards last night? 

I onlyreally watch these kind of awards because I love to see what everyone is wearing. Whosurprised me..good and bad, who got it sooo right and who got it sooo wrong!! This year I felt like there were only a handful of great outfits from the awards.

My fave dress of the whole night has definitely got to be LauraWhitmore who wore a dress by Rachel Gilbert. A vibrant colour for the SS13collection and drapes so beautifully. Such an elegant piece and worn wellby the 'I'm a Celebrity...Now' presenter. Her hair and make-up are perfect, however the only criticismI have are with her accessories - I don’t think the clutch and her bracelet arethe right colour. Perhaps white would have been a better colour.

The Hollyoaks actress Claire Cooper is another lovely ladywho managed to get-it-right! She looked like a movie star in this floor-lengthnude dress.

This dress is a lovely shape - the neckline is flattering and the dress hugs her curvy figure in all the right places.

I love the halter neckline!

Hello World! Welcome to LilyLish

Hello all you wonderful people, welcome to my blog, LilyLish.

I am newbie to the world of blogging so please bear with me whilst I get to grips with it all.

So a little bit about me. I am 23 years old (feeling old now) and I am from Cheshire, UK. I graduated in BSc (Hons) Fashion Buying at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2010 which now feels like donkeys years ago. I recently left my position at a top Formula One Team which has been a great experience, I met some very interesting and important people from the Team Principle to Michael Schumacher, from  Lewis Hamilton to Race Engineers and also Sponsors of the team.

 I left my position in search for a new adventure and to pursue my passion in Fashion and Buying! Therefore, I decided the best step forward is to create my own blog which I can do for fun and hopefully employers will find my blog of interest and hire me! Nudge nudge wink wink :-P

You will find info on trends, highstreet fashion as well as high fashion. I may talk about the odd beauty product here and there and of course little bit about me too.

So here it is. I hope you enjoy it! I would love for you to comment or message me if you have any questions. It will also help me know if I am going in the right direction.

Love, LilyLish x
