E-tailers I'm loving: Yayer.co.uk

I'm a poor excuse for a blogger, I know.  I'd like to say it's been one of those weeks at Push PR and I haven't been inspired to blog but really I've gotten completely hooked to True Blood.  I'll try to do better from now on!  I wanted to tell you about a little place on the internet I've found which is pretty cool and for those of you who love vintage, will definitely love Yayer.co.uk

If you've ever been on Nasty Gal then you may see some similarities, the girls all wear Jeffrey Campbell's signature 'Lita' boots and the clothes are pretty similar too.  They started up in 2009, selling vintage inspired garments to boutiques and with the success from this they decided to branch out online.  Their mission statement is to bring the most 'desirable and cutting edge fashion' and they do this without a hefty price tag too.  Here are some of my favourite pieces from the site:

Stud Tripping Skinny Leggings; £22.00
Leggings are versatile between seasons and also with what you pair them with, making them a wardrobe staple.

Tartan Rebel Shirt; £25.00
Heritage is a key trend for next season and Tartan is set to be a huge part of this.  

Camel Tux Jacket; £45.00
Androgyny is another massive trend this coming season, and what's more fitting than a Tuxedo jacket?

Tribal Eyes Oversized Tee; £30.00
I'm really digging aztec prints at the moment, more so than floral which is saying a lot for me!

There's just a taster of what you can expect from Yayer, a lot of their stock is Vintage and therefore is only a one off.  

Have you come across any sites like this?  If so, leave a comment!

Shoes, glorious shoes...

I've always got shoes on my mind.  The higher the better.  This season I've been loving the chunky open toed sandals and the bright coloured and patterned wedges.  I was supposed to be going to the Kurt Geiger shopping event tonight, hosted by Grazia with a university friend, but due to an unhealthy bank account I had to, sadly, say no.  Instead I've been browsing the online shoe world and building a summer wishlist of 'rags to riches' priced shoes...

"Genero" by Kurt Geiger; £295
I've wanted these for some time now, but unfortunately that price tag is a bit too much for a first year university student, who's been paying a Macbook Pro off... They are extremely high and would make me feel like a giant (for once).   These are great if you feel you can't quite pull off a colour block outfit.  I also really love the print advert for these shoes: 

"Women turn into birds of paradise at night..."


ASOS; £65.00
At a much more affordable price, comes the chunky open toe court shoe.  The perspex heel gives that 'glass slipper' effect.  Neutral tones help to tone down a bright outfit, or perhaps give a bit of chic to an average office look.  

Missguided.co.uk; £32.99
I haven't looked on this site for a while, and whilst browsing the other day I was surprised at how much it has come on, it's definitely worth a look!  Anyway back to the shoes... These look like a 70s throwback, I can't quite explain it but the chunkier the heels get and the higher the platform goes I just think 'Saturday Night Fever'. 

I've just realised, all the shoes I picked have been suede, so there's a trend there!
