  • New Shoes?

      I have spent no money whatsoever since Christmas as I've been so frigging skint... it's been tough man, I love shopping.  But I think I should pat myself on the back for being able to be so frugal.  *pat pat*

    So today I thought I'd treat myself... I bought these shoes from Aldo:-

     

    aldoshoesI have a couple of birthday parties coming up (along with MY THIRTIETH!!! Fuck I can't believe I'm gonna be 30!!  I'm not gonna be in my twenties anymore how depressing) so these shoes will get a lot of wear out of them.

    I also bought this dress for one of the parties.
