What Milly Wore: Shoe Triplets - Black Studded Slippers

Hi guys,
Today is the start of a new feature that me, Hannah from Bow Dream Nation 
& Caz from My Stylisms thought up when we realised we own a lot of the same shoes!
'Shoe Triplets' :)
Me and Hannah have done 'clothes twins' posts before which went down well, 
so this is a similar kind of  feature, where we each show how we would wear the same item.

Our Shoes this time are:
Topshop Black 'Vectra' Studded Slippers £28

I wore mine with:

Plain Black T-shirt: New Look
Black and White Star Print Trousers:  ASOS

White Multiple Skull Necklace: Jessica Kagan Cushman 
(around £75 in the sale, expensive but I'll keep it forever)
Black Patent Guitar Watch: Marc Jacobs

Nudey Pink Nail Varnish: O.P.I Tickle My Francey

As you can see I stuck to black and white with statement pieces :)
I can't wait so see how the other girls wore theirs,
Hannah and Caz should have their posts up soon so don't forget to go check them out!

What Milly Wore: Shorts & Wedges

*excuse the squinty face, I need to work out how to stop myself doing that!

I'm not gonna lie to you,
when I left the house wearing this outfit, I thought I looked pretty damn good!
However, my boyfriend was not so keen,
and looking at the pictures, I agree with him I don't look quite as I had pictured in my head.
Why brain do you fool me so??

Leather Waistcoat: New Look, at least 4 years ago if not longer
I also have this waistcoat in brow, both real leather
and they couldn't have cost me more than £10 each!
I couldn't do it up as I'm much bigger now than when I bought it
however with the use of a hair bobble I managed to keep it closed which looked much better

Plain Black T-shirt: New Look

Aztec Print Shorts: New Look
No idea why I'm wearing so much New Look at once!
Love these shorts, great aztec pattern ( had to get a 16 to fit round my butt, boo)
If anything a bit too short, but I still love them

Black Bag With Horse Buckle: Miss Selfridge

Sabre Skull Necklace: Galibardy

Black 'slimming' tights: Primark
actually quite impressed with these tights,
they were £3 and although I don't think they are particularly slimming,
I did feel well held in, without being restricted
and they didn't fall down and were quite comfy

Burgundy Suede 'Ruby Tuesday'  Wedge boots: Clarks Originals
First time I've worn them
and I really like them... a whole lot
but I am not used to walking in any kind of heel at all
must practice more!

Lust After: Lotsa Lamps


Some of my favourite bloggers (who have awesome taste) 
have been blogging about interesting lights
(including GemGeorgina & Queen Marie )
and quite a few have also caught my eye, 
so I thought I'd collect together my favourite ones in one post




Aren't these lamps adroable,
as far as I can tell  its they are French Bulldogs,
Really different and quirky too




I instantly thought of this lamp when I saw the Ben Di Lisi ones,
Oh Em Gee it's a bunny :)
a little more affordable too!


As far as I can tell this bunny lamp came first,
a little too similar no?
But obviously much more expensive



And once I'd found 2 rabbit lamps I was on a roll
I loove this pink one,
and I like that they light from the inside
so the whole bunny glows





And bunny lamps are not just for the grown-up
this children's version is so sweet,
and the best bit is even though it's for children
grown-ups can buy it if they want to!

Cream Tea Time Ceramic Lamp £110 Laura Ashley


But if you're a proper grown-up
you might prefer something a little more sophisticated like this teacup lamp



Teacups Table Lamp £50 Next


Are you spotting a pattern here??
I find a lovely but pricey lamp,
then I see that next have used it for 'inspiration'!
(in all honestly I like Nexts versions and I would buy them purely on price)







The more I searches,
the more I found!
Incredible lights everywhere,
Varieties of luminous colors
and in loads of different shapes
*at this point my mind was blown*

I WANT A NEW LAMP
(but I don't actually need one because I have a lovely red one..
but it's not quite as nice as these)

What Milly Wore: Gone Dotty

Hi Guys,
Here is an outfit that I wore last week and forgot to post about!

Polka Dot Silky Shirt: £20 Wallis (sale)
I almost never go into Wallis,
but I went in whilst shopping with my mum, and there was so much lovely stuff!
I was very surprised and will definitely be going back :)

Black & Gold Belt: Vintage £4 (Charity Shop)
Being unemployed for the first time since I've been old enough to work
I've had to rethink the way I shop,
and although I loved charity shop shopping before, I love it even more now!

Dark Blue Skinny Jeans: ASOS (sale)

Tan Loafers: Office
My go to comfy shoes.


Gold & Green Collar Necklace: Vintage £4 (Charity shop)
I have a lot to tell/show you about my recent charity shop finds
including this necklace so more on this in a later post.

AARRGHHHH Necklace: Tatty Devine
This necklace was technically free as I got it in a Tatty Devine swap/trade

and if you're wondering the lipstick is Mac Neon Orange, which I love
but actually can't tell the difference between that and Mac Morange
both of which I own

I liked this outfit muchly,but since these photos were taken 
I have said goodbye to the semi mullet I had going on there:)
