my toms collection

I have three pairs of toms, and i absolutely love them! They are so comfortable and they go with everything.
 
At first i was unsure about buying them because i have really wide feet, and I'd heard that they come up really small and their sizing is weird. So i decided to go try them on in a shop before i bought them, when i first tried on mine it took me about 3 minutes to get my foot into one, but the woman that worked in schuh insisted that was how they felt for everyone they first time you wear them, and she was right and within about a week they stretched and became really comfy.
 
Toms aren't cheap, they are all around £35 i think their worth the money, you can get cheap versions of them in places like primark and new look but they never look nearly as good as real toms do. I saved up for my first pair last summer, and i wore them almost everyday because i loved them so much, so I'm so happy that i got two more pairs for Christmas that i know I'll be wearing all the time when the weather gets a bit better.
 
i got mine from schuh but i know you can get them in office and probably quite a few other shoe places,
classic toms cost £35.
 
 

my grey pair are my favourite, because they are such a neutral colour they just go with everything and the colour's really flattering.
i love my black woolly pair, they have fur lining inside so they keep your feet much warmer than my other two pairs, but i still wouldn't say that they are suitable for winter.
my bubblegum pink pair are so pretty. but they got dirty really quickly.



another thing i love about toms is the 'One for One'-  basically for every pair of shoes that is bought they will give a child in need a pair shoes.

 also i like that you get a canvas bag and a huge toms sticker in the box with your toms.

tricks of the shade


I got this lovely 'soap and glory' eye pallet as a christmas present, i love it! It has twelve different colours which are all very pigmented, ranging from a neutral mattes to bright shimmery shades-'mudhoney' is my favourite. It comes with the 'Supercat extreme eye liner pen' which is also amazing, and a 'blend-it-all double-ended brush'. Another reason i love this pallet is the packaging, its so bright and pretty and also feels quite strong (like most soap and glory products) and i love the huge mirror inside. I love soap and glory so much, and i defiently recommend this product!
 
Tricks of the shade from soap and glory is available at boots-RRP £18.00
