Chunky Heels I Didn't Need.. But Obviously Bought

Just when will Primark stop enticing me with their shoes and homeware? Seriously, when? Because every time I wander in I seems to wander back out with at least one bag (usually more). They are hitting the nail on the head with some of their departments - others, still not so much - but yes yes yes to shoes.

These are super chunky, high, black platform heels - reminiscent of Jeffrey Campbell and a lot of the styles on the high street that you see for £50 + at the minute. These were an amazing £20 and come in black, white, and grey snakeskin. The white are absolutely amazing but I had to think sensibly - summer will be over soon and I know I'll wear black a lot more! 

As usual my only problem with Primark is their finish on things - even though brand new in this picture there are still a few marks and if you look closely a few glue marks. However for the price and the length of time these will probably last I don't mind - I don't see Primark as investment pieces funnily enough! Either way I can't wait to start wearing these - hoping the sturdy heel will stop me from falling after one too many a cocktail... 

The Chunky Shoe Summer Edition

I literally bought these shoes two hours ago and I'm already writing a post about them. For a while now I've wanted some of the cut out chunky sandals that everyone loves, but I couldn't find the right pair - they either looked too clunky, were too uncomfortable, made my feet look giant.. etc etc. Then when I was in Primark today, I wandered in to the shoe section and saw these. As soon as I tried one on I knew I was buying them! 

I think these are a better balance than other ones I've seen of chunky and girly - I was wearing black skinny jeans when I tried them on which looked nice but they're enough of a sandal to look good with shorts or a skirt too. The platform makes the heel practically non existent so I'm hoping they're going to be comfy enough to wear in the day time. They also (obviously) have no toe so I will have to step up my toe polish game...

They were a bargainous £12 as well so even if I don't get along with them brilliantly it's not too much of a loss. Oh Primark, what you do to me. 

Do you like these types of shoes? Or are you part of the population that thinks they're a bit on the ugly side? Let me know!

Mini Primark Jewellery Haul

Primark is undoubtedly the Marmite of retail - people love it, people despise it. I sit in the middle somewhere, liking a lot of the products but hating the cheap feel or the missing 'edge' to a piece. However every so often they do have absolute gems that crop up, and a lot of the time this is jewellery.

Chain link necklace, £4

I got this slightly chunky chain necklace to start with as it's the kind of thing you can literally wear with any outfit! I still like wearing these kind of necklaces under collars (is everyone over that now? Can't tell if I care..) or with plainer items that just need a little bit extra.

Gold plate necklace, £4

This one isn't normally my style but I had been looking for a plain 'statement' necklace as such - something not too dramatic but definitely not a dainty little piece. I've realised lately that my style is literally black/white/grey/denim/leather. And thats it. So when I'm wearing my black high waisted jeans with a white top (yet again) I thought I could jazz things up a little bit with this. It just adds something extra to an otherwise very plain outfit.

Multi ring pack, £2.50

Excuse the missing rings on the right, I've already worn those ones! I love this little pack - its a mixture of thin/thick gold rings, and a few thick gold rings with a cutout piece in the middle. I think there's actually 12 rings overall in this pack which for £2.50 is ridiculously good. I love wearing rings as I think they really finish a look - little details like this always make such an impact. The only thing I would say is make sure to paint them with clear nail varnish to stop the gold from rubbing off as quickly, and to stop you getting green fingers!
