Just an old fashion thank you

How is it New Years Eve already?! I'm in the middle of writing a sort of 'looking back at the year' post as lets face it its good to do this... reflect, just for a few minutes as sometimes we can 'forget'  things that have happened, achievements, 'wake up calls' etc. I will publish this post later on today.

For now I just wanted to write a quick 'big up' post to say THANK YOU ( yes I am shouting) to all my ridiculously-amazingsupportive friends and family for supporting my blog, my on-line boutique, all things 'Shoe-na' and of course supporting my career change ( FYI- I moved from Fashion Buying to the world of Fashion and Beauty PR and Marketing).

Thank you also to all those that read my blog! I will continue to update you all on all that is happening in the hectic but always  fabulous world of 'Shoe-na' :)

I'm excited about 2013 and I plan on continuing to work my socks off to make more things happen!  so keep your eyes firmly peeled as I plan to take over the fashion world (lol, well not take over but add to the fashion world), one stiletto at a time.


Happy New Year! xx

My bargain from my week at the clothes show


Finding a bargain is a great feeling, especially when it's something you actually need.

Those that follow me on twitter and facebook will know that 2 weeks ago I went to The Clothes show live for 5 fun filled days with Sleek Makeup (who I now work for as PR Assistant). I had the BEST time working with the rest of the Sleek MakeUp marketing team, met loads of cool people such as VV Brown and Zainab (winner of styled to rock),  discovered GREAT vintage brands such as Wanderland boutique and Everours. I got to to meet so many lovely bloggers," sleekers" ( sleek makeup fans) and of course I got to do a little.... just a little bit of shopping.

On I think it was day 2, It occurred to me that I was desperately in need of a hand bag that I could carry around with me to PR appointments whilst at the show. I already had a massive bag with me that contained all sorts of stuff inside (change of shoes, press releases, magazines, make up, water, the list goes on) but it was becoming a bit of a hassle to drag around with me.

So you can imagine my delight when I came across a cute bag at the Oxfam stand, and now imagine me clapping my hands and screeching when I saw the very purse friendly tag of £5.

So without further delay please meet (one) of my bargains from my week at the clothes show.






What do you think of my latest bargain baby, cute don't you think?

Merry Christmas!x
