This blog post is more of a thank you to La Moda as opposed to an 'Ootd' or I guess,,, 'Sotd' (shoe of the day) I was an extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely lucky girly and I won their £100 giveaway instagram prize!!  [my instagram is @elsmikaela, go check that out] Just like every other girl who instagrams, I probably enter these #repost thingys about twice a month with the faint hope I might win, and that it is a real competition, BUT HEY I DID, so ye thats all very exciting.

This post includes everything I bought, and I think I did quite well to be honest! They even sent me sweeties, that company knows how to win my heart.

Also they just updated the website with loads of new shoes so go have a look, I kinda want these, the 'Harlem Honey' but I am 100% sure I wouldn't be able to pull them off. Actually I want pretty much everything, hopefully I will win £100 again. 

*fingers and toes crossed*

Anyway..

LOVE YOU LA MODA

THANKS FOR ZE STUFF

Tie-Dye Leggins

Leggins - American Apparel

Shirt - Dad's

Socks - Probably M&S Childrens Range, the beauty of small feet

Shoes - Reebok Classics

Scrunchie - DIY

I am aware of the awful quality of these pictures... Not too sure what happened, the lighting was way off and blown out in half of them and unfocused in others, they almost look like disposables, weird. Anyway, these leggins are seriously old, got them from that yearly sale thingy that AA do in Brick lane where they sort of get rid of old stock and odd sizes for reeeally cheap prices, worth going too. (If you happen to know when the next one is, tell me and Ill add it onto this post.) 

The dog featured is my lavley cocker spaniel Archie, he was an unintentional feature but the reason that I am facing away from the camera in most pictures. He thought it would be funny to roll in his own poo...

Yeah, so. This isn't an 'inspo' fashion post, just a very 'me' outfit, which basically consists of an outfit muddle of childish socks with a ridiculously over-sized top, although 'over-sized' isn't hard to achieve seeing as I'm a mere 5'3"! And obviously, my classics. If I could, I would wear my Reeboks to everything, comfiest shoes in the world. And I know, comfy isn't normally the way forward with fashion, as everyone discovered when Crocs and Huaraches came out. But these are seriously amazing. I wouldn't say I am that into trainers as I don't really get the hype of owning 30 pairs of various Air Max's, I'm much more of a heels fan. But whatever, I do like classic trainers, and as long as they don't resemble running trainers I'll probably like them. Hoops are another item that can be styled in any way imaginable, ranging from 'Chavy' (1) to 'Chola' (2)

eg....

Exhibit 1-

Exhibit 2-

But that is mainly down to personal style, and whether you define yourself as a Vicky Pollard or a Gretchen Wieners. Basically.... hoops are fresh.

Anyway, always get to sidetracked by mean girls GIFs lol.

Hope you enjoyed this, big luv to all ma readers!!!

Ugly Shoe Obsession

SO

seeing as most of the fashion today is reverting back to the 90s I feel I wanted to focus on feet.

It seems that almost all shoes that are in fashion at the min are hideous, and I won't lie I'm loving them, but when did heels go from elegant (slutty) stilletos to huge chunky block colour heels?

Jeffrey campbell seem to be the main cause of this by bringing in the 'Lita' which I think are hideous by the way, sorry If you have them

If you dont, here is what they look like:

Here are a few of my favourites: beware they are all ugly

1. BUFFALOS

Personally the shoes I always loved and wish I hadn't thrown out when I was 12 were my buffalos- retailing for way over £150 now I'm regretful. Although ugly, they're like a fabulous mix of trainers Vs rhinos with a lil platform. 

2. JELLY SHOES 

these I LOVE, and I just bought a pair of glittery clear ones but they smell kinda weird and my mum said no self respecting 18 year old should wear glittery shoes so she's making me sell them. Anyway, originally I wanted them in the turquoise colour but they weren't in stock. So, jelly shoes- featuring the hideously thick heel, weird grandma style front and childish buckle. The perfect shoe for summer minus the weird tan lines.

3. VAGABONDS (Don't know name of shoe sorry)

THESE, no one can deny they are truly hideous. But again, I'm a fan I like the fact that they girlify themselves by making the shoes in pastel colours. This shoe is the only way socks and sandals are a thing, especially clashing weird coloured socks.

4. DOC MARTENS

Not sure anyone should attempt to pull these off but if you can, you are brave. Not sure if they're unisex, but that's clearly the beauty of ugly shoes, the flatform on these is pushing new boundaries and looks like it's been stuck on to the wrong pair of shoes, giving it that sassy touch. Love.

5. LA MODA

I actually really like these, I even instagrammed them to try and win them. Not sure they completely comply with the ugly shoe theme, but they aren't exactly elegant. The beauty of these types of shoes is that they suit legs of any size, they're chunky enough that they make most legs look skinnier which is the huge bonus of heels. And again the cute-sy pink colour brings back that girly style. Luckily with shoes like these, the huge platform means they aren't that difficult to walk in, these are the best type of ugly shoes.

Finally,

6. BIRKENSTOCKS

now these I do not accept, they are ugly obsession gone wrong, and also my dad owns a white leather pair and no man should own white leather sandals. Also, you can buy vegan ones.. Vegan shoes. They're just like normal disgusting burkenstocks except they aren't leather so your feet will look weird and smell weird. Birkenstock also sell crocs, and I think that personally speaks for itself.

Yeah these aren't chic.. They are gross and they look like shoes that you'd put on a horse's hooves to protect them.
