These are a few of my favourite things right now...

My chartreuse obsession was taken to a new level when Rihanna launched her River Island collection and this knot back turtleneck is a sure fire favourite. I love wearing it with denim its great with my dad jeans I'm obsessed with at the minute and I wore it on a night out recently with this acid wash skirt -80s throwback!!

Obviously my love of all black is still here in amongst the chartreuse and denim and I love this black jersey dress I picked up from toppers for only £25 -bargain!! I can't wait for it to be warmer so I can just wear it with my vintage fringed leather jacket -come on weather bitch we have had enough snow this year lets concentrate on the sunshine now please!!!

Literally obsessed with this statement necklace too, trying not to buy jewellery as have a room full but this piece caught my eye and its safe to say for the mere 2 weeks I have owned it it has probably only left my neck twice -fashion maths working out value per wear right there!!!

I wouldn't be me if I didn't love my Chanel either and it just so happens to go with every outfit although I think I am going to have to send it for a service soon so it looks all shiny once again!

And my love for Topshop shoes continues...

Peace, love and new Garms

Healthy and happy

Everyone secretly or very publicly goes to the gym, I can't I'm at the gym, I have a class, I've got yoga blah blah blah, so if you can't beat them join them! Especially when you can get membership for £10.99 a month I can spare this dollar from my shoe funds haha

One of my New Years resolutions is to be happy! I have joined a gym today, people say they join gyms all the time and don't go but I aim to take it seriously and be motivated to go, after all my diet consists mainly of cake and halloomi with the odd piece of fruit and glass of rosé so I wanna do something active to tone up -I don't wanna crack out arm muscles to rival Jodie Marsh just lose a bit of weight, do lots of squats to get an ass and maybe just maybe get a body I can wear bodycon in, I don't want to wear a bodycon dress or tube skirt everyday but when 90% of the clothing in the shops is bodycon it would be nice to be able to have the option to rock it so here goes, I'm making a positive change.

Also if I become one of those people who checks in to the gym on Facebook and constantly updates status about it permission to hit me hard haha.

Naturally I am super excited about my gym attire and have already browsed Stella McCartney's Adidas range as well as everything on the Sweaty Betty website, but who am I kidding, one I'm not rich and 2 I don't want to spend all my money on clothes to wear to the gym as much as I would love to go in head to toe American Apparel like I have stepped out of a Jane Fonda workout video I'm probably just going to wear a baggy tee and leggings, all black of course as a funeral for my fat!

Also now summers coming (hopefully) I like to eat fruit more so here is a picture of some of the lush things I've eaten these past few weeks that don't involve cake!

Peace, love and working out

Blue Jeans

This year I am loving denim, yes denim I bought jeans and I have practically lived in them, those that know me may think this odd I usually only wear jeans about twice a year but this year I am all over them. I also am still obsessed with my denim shirt and denim shorts too and have also purchased the Topshop acid wash denim skirt -addicted much! I did not see this coming!

My jeans of choice are these vintage Levis 505, dad jeans if you will, I got mine from the Urban Renewal range at Urban Outfitters and have to wear them with a belt because otherwise they fall down I could recreate a Jenny Craig advert quite literally haha, I think part of my love for them is because they are so comfy. But also just because they are different from anything i have ever worn! I love wearing them with crop tops and seeing as my best mate and flat mate has literally every crop top Topshop has ever made I am laughing -so many different outfits I can create and I love it!

I think I am becoming a little bit Urban and I think I like it, I also have bought some five year olds frilly ankle socks and love how cute they look with my jeans I also enjoy that they make my ankles look super skinny and obviously my shoe obsession means I bought the cream Sheryl Topshop wedges I think my summer look is sorted!!

Crack out a dad jean if you are not a jeans person, trust me you won't regret it
Peace, love and vintage Levi's

All blogs post the same stuff

Unless you have dropped off the face of the universe today you will know it's London Fashion week and Topshop Unique showed today at the Tate -Jourdan Dunn who I have loved since the Topshop campaign on London buses back in 2009 when she modelled the moons and stars jumper I coverted and still love to this day and Cara Delevingne this months Vogue cover girl and it seems everyone's new favourite girl crush -what a babe!

Anyway this year Unique fucking brought it -a beyond fierce collection of sequins, furs, silks, PVC and other fabulous things including one of my favourite items -the jumpsuit -this pale pink one I need in my life ASAP I will be wearing it to Christmas parties and weddings in 2014 -I love it by far the best unique collection to date. I love you Topshop LA and this all in one week you have excelled my expectations

Peace, love and unique

Lust List

Apologies again for lack of blogging I'm all over instagram @ladysophs but vow to make time to blog more -fashion weeks are upon us I've lusted over so many things i won't bore you with hundreds of pictures like all the other blogs, but there are gonna be some amazing designer inspired looks on the high street I'm guessing!

I never thought I'd be so happy for the launch of Rihanna for River Island and the launch date coincides nicely with my birthday I think it would be rude not to go and try on some of the garms -obviously I wish I had Rihanna's body to go with the clothes but my current addiction to chocolate orange flavoured things means I am slowly piling on the pounds -need to stop a summer diet must commence -let's say Monday as everyone else does haha!

So polyvore have an app -yay I can picture collage favourite fashion items from my phone or iPad!! Buzzing!!! So this is my lust list -my must most needed, most wanted item right now is these Topshop cream Sheryl wedges -super scared they will ruin but I love them and will no doubt have dreams about them tonight -amazing and they will look insane with these urban Levi dad jeans -I don't own a pair yet, tried some on, wasn't sure -I'm not usually a denim person -saying that last week I embraced double denim and loved it like but yes I need these jeans in my life -should have bought them already!

My other favourite things right now are this Evil Twin kimono -a sale bargain and probably the best thing I have bought this year, imagine sunglasses -still my favourite bug eyed look and these toppers gladiator sandals -I can honestly say if I won the lottery tomorrow most of my footwear would be Topshop they make the best shoes -obviously I'd treat myself to some Manolo's and Jimmy Choos probably some more Jeffrey Campbell's, definitely some Charlotte Olympia shoes oh and Christian Loubs oh my god shoes!!! Tangent!! but Topshop shoes will always be my favourite.

In other news candy yum yum is back and here to stay yes MAC finally -although not sure now my hair is dip dyed that I am as excited for this bright pink as when I was fully brunette arrrr damn it MAC but it will be mine I am pretty sure I have 6 empty's and its time to get free lippy again!!!

There was an old lady who lived in her shoes....

Shoe obsessed and can't shake it off...this week with warnings of snow fall and in honour of my New Year resolution to learn to drive I set off to topshop in search of some flats, well less than 6 inches - a Sophs flat if you will which is what most describe as mid height and what the heel less describe as high.

I've coverted Balenciaga flats ever since I saw a picture of Mary-Kate wearing them last year, unable to afford Balenciaga I saw the Coltranes -Jeffery Campbell bought out, you know the ones they are on practically every blog and all over insta, the buckles are insane and they have the biker feel that insanely transforms any outfit from zero to grunge they toughen up girly dresses and fabrics, the Coltrane comes in flatforms for us shorties so we can add extra height, one of my beautiful friends even posted a pic of her new bad boys in white which are just beyond....then Topshop bought out the AJ a nod in all the right directions to The Campbell's and the Balenciaga's and as a fan of heels a cheaper version that I thought maybe I could maybe just get away with...

.....WRONG I cannot pull off the flat or anything low at all....short and dumpy straight away and just immediately look wrong, I stood in Topshop the Leeds store which has a shoe department bigger than most small stores and tried on practically every winter to spring shoeboot flat and heeled, torn and indecisive wishing I could pull off a flat shoe so people don't always assume my feet hurt -which FYI they don't -I have a low pain thresh hold and don't enjoy painful footwear..I gave up in the end, sod it these gladiator cutout heeled boots have been on my radar for about a month and as soon as I tried one on i knew it -these are my new day shoes -the perfect shoe for me, comfy, leg lengthening, not too much foot out and a gold buckle finish...practically perfect in every way. Thank you Topshop once again my shoe needs have been fulfilled.

Go high or go home
Peace, love and heels for life

Hope everyone had a happy new year

So long 2012 hello 2013.... an odd number year -my favourite I love odd numbers years because for some reason they are always so much better and I fear this year will be no different! Major things happening this year -I'm turning 25 (shhhhh) I fear this is official grown up territory it's md twenties creeping up to 30s hmmmm need to start thinking about more grown up things saving money yada yada yada -BORING!!!

New Years resolutions include learning to drive, I need to do this because getting bored of a ten minute car journey to work taking me over a hour now, plus a car would be extra storage for shoes! Seriousness though I have never had lessons but fingers crossed it will be easy after all hundreds of people drive don't they.

Also need to try and clear debt -I am gonna try harder than last year as credit card still lingering and overdraft haunting me -I will actively try to pay more money off each payday -promise!! That and buy more scratch cards and lotto tickets in hope of winning big!

The main thing though this year is to be happy! So I can look back at the end of the year and say yes 2013 one of the best years of my life -life is what we make it we need to create our own memories and make it special. Tonight I decorated a cream bird cage I got for Christmas off one of my beautiful friends with flowers they were throwing out at work -I am going to write down everything that makes me happy, all good things that happen no matter how big or small and put them inside then read them at the end of the year -hopefully it will be super full

I will try and blog more this year too, please bare in mind working 40 hours a week it's sometimes hard to fit in

Peace, love and a healthy and happy 2013
