Blisters are the devils way of making me pay for buying new shoes


Deep purple, originally uploaded by undefinable and indelible.

Yup those cute little booties gave me huge blisters. I still love them though.

I'm a bit on purple overload at the moment though, I wore this to go out shopping and while I was out I bought two new purple things.
I go through obsessive phases with colours - anyone else out there the same?

Yes I am wearing OPI's 'the it colour', doesn't it look fabulous!

Awesome purple vintage scarf that I love so much!!

Also I have always loved hot pink, plus I love large and outrageous sunglasses - so I just had to buy these
New Sunglasses

They make my face happy!

I feel like I want a bit of frivolity to take my mind off all the horrible things going on at the moment round the world. I've been feeling extraordinarily lucky for all the things I have, and all the people I love being around me. I think that will be more my focus for Valentines day, as me and the boy have decided to semi boycott the day. Because in the end I am a dirty cynic at heart, and I hope all you romantics don't want to lynch me!

Anyway however you spend it, have a great day, because you can. Then start treating everyday like a holiday and always celebrate the ones you love, because you never know how long you'll be able to.

Peace out my lovelies

Hey I have the It Colour too! My manager told me to take it off cos it made her feel sick. Haha. I call it Jaundice ;) But I love it. This is a great outfit. I love a girl who can pull off floral!

Thanks Charlene! It seems only Auck is getting the nice weather :( Which totally blows because EVERYONE know Wlgtn and Chch are sooooo much better ;)

I know what you mean with the colour. We went overseas last year and my mother would not stop complaining about all my newly acquired green clothes (i have a horrid memory so i could never recall her telling me such countless numbers of times) lol

I really like your yellow opi nails! You work them so well and purple really suits you dear.

Hoping that weather clears up but if its anything like DUnedin probably not (

Sorry, long comment over :)

No such thing as too much purple! (unless you're a balding middle-aged obese man wearing The Phantom costume at the rugby game...) I love love your vintage scarf, because it's just too awesome for words. :D

Charlene said...

Ana - my mum said it looked like I had jaundice haha!

Eeli - the weather hasn't cleared up here either, it's still just crap, sigh

Natelle - So glad I will never be an balding middle-aged obese man, means I can wear as much purple as I like!

gemmabear said...

hot boots! whenever I wear new shoes I put them on first to see where they're going to rub, then I take them off, apply bandaids to the areas where i suspect I'll get blisters, then put the shoes back on.

It works most of the time :)

Hi! I love those sunglasses! where did you find them???! Swap links? x

Charlene said...

Thanks for the lovely compliments girls - you sure know how to make a gal feel special!

Louise said...

Purple - good choice! It's my favourite. And I can totally relate about blisters and new shoes, every single pair!

Oh I do adore your yellow nail polish & those sunglasses! I have a bright yellow nailpolish but it doesnt go on very well. I am the same with colours, I really am! I've pretty much become obsessed with wearing blue, pink & purple together. Everything I've bought like the last month has been one of those three colours!

Eyeliah @ stylesymmetry.com said...

oh no! blister shoes. I hate hate when that happens. I have a habit of wearing shoes around for 10+ minutes in the store b4 I can even decide.

Charlene said...

thanks for the shoe tips gals! Oh and I got the glasses from dotti kimberly.
