Five of the best: Denim Cut Offs

Seeing as I got a few nice comments on my "Five of the Best..." post last week on Maxi Dresses, I though I'd give it another go with denim cut offs.

The perfect addition to a summer wardrobe, I think we all own at least one pair (or in my case more like 5...) pairs of denim cut offs.

I think they're great for that festival feel, wearing on holiday, or just for when it's too hot for skinnies and you want to show off them legs!


1 // The Ombre One // Ombre is everywhere at the minute, from your hair to your bag to your shoes, it's all ombre! I think with shorts it gives them a brighter edge, and the effect it has is really cute, I think it'd look nice in a purple or pink-ish colour to make it a bit more girlie!


2 // The Sparkly One // Who can resist a bit of a sparkle? These are perfect for a summer festival and although a bit pricier than the rest, I like how they seem a bit dressier with the sequins. (Diamonds are a girls best friend after all!)


3 // The Leopard One // Leopard print is great for turning a pair of boring shorts into something a bit nicer. It's a little bit trashy yes, but that's exactly what I love!


4 // The Floral One // These are floral as well as being high waisted, giving them a bit more of a vintage feel. The print is very sweet, and I think they'd look great paired with some brogues or a blouse. Very cute!


5 // The Studded One // I am obsessed with studs at the moment, if I had a stud gun, every piece of clothing I own would be studded (quite lucky I don't then really!) I am desperate to get my hands on this pair but want to make sure they're not too short first, after trying on another pair from River Island and them almost revealing what I had for tea...

What's your favourite pair of denim cuts offs in your wardrobe?

Saturday Steal No 007: Louboutin Studded Courts

Christian Louboutin's shoes are no doubt some of the most equisite out there. Classy, sophisticated, desireable, sexy, they have it all, and it's no secret that I'd give anything to have a pair. This week they launched their English online boutique, and after I'd spend most of my lunch hour drooling, I decided I need to have a pair of studded courts in my life.

At £695 the originals aren't going to be gracing my feet any time soon, but Missguided have cottoned on and offer an uncanny pair for just £40.99.

True they're not the real deal with the red soles, but they'd do me just fine!

Saturday Steal No. 005: Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats

Charlotte Olympia possibly created the cutest shoes in existance with her Kitty Flats, shoes with cats on! Who can deny that is adorable? Anyway the originals are priced at £485 a pair, steap, but Missguided have a near exact pair for just £23.99.

These shoes have also been on the feet on anyone who's anyone, with Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Alexa Chung all fans.

What do you make of these Kitty flats?

Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Winning, Wanting

Listening: Florence’s cover of Drake ‘TakeCare’ from the Livelounge. This really is SUPERB. If you haven’t already listened to it, get ready for something amazing! I love Florence and she really delivers on this song:

Watching: I’m a Celeb final. I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here finished last week and my-not-so-secret love of Mcfly, especially the uber cute bassist Dougie Poynter definitely were the main reason I was hooked on this. Slightly odd but endearing Dougie did it in the end, and now I’m just hoping (fingers crossed) that his band mate Harry can do the same on Strictly Come Dancing next weekend. (If you want my prediction it’ll be him and Chelsee in top and second places, but which way round I can’t call!)

Reading: COSMO!

Winning: A new game I downloaded for my phone called Line Runner. It’s very simple and addictive and I’ve been playing it on the train every day. You’re a stick man and have to jump over and roll under little blocks to get as far as you can, sounds silly, but once you’re hooked it’s hard to put down! My top score is 827 on track one. Can anyone beat that?

Wanting: I’ve spied some star printleggings on Missguided.co.uk and am desperate to get my hands on them!
