Shoe problems

Hello everyone! I've recently been adding to my shoe collection and have made two new purchases! My goal is to get lots of different styles and colours together and place them on a shoe wall.... I'll explain. Similar to the set-up at Kurt Geiger, I want to have a sort of cubby-hole shoe wall where I can show off each and every single one of my amazing shoes. By show off I mean to myself and my boyfriend - who doesn't really care if I have a shoe wall or not.

I personally think everyone should have their shoes on display. I say this but  I'm sort of contradicting myself here because I'm not a fan of clutter. I'm also guilty of hiding my shoes away in a crate underneath my bed because I just don't have the room to display, hence... my shoe wall! So my new plan is to make the room. This has been a long thought out process that is still in the planning stages so I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, here's my new additions.

These are my new Kimchi Blue wedges from Urban Outfitters. I got them in the sale for £20! Originally £38... what a bargain!
 So cute!



 These are my new Head Over Heels by Dune snakeskin platforms. They're so comfortable and just the right amount of height.
Bought in the sale at Debenhams for £28... originally £49

Spring has sprung!

Hello everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter holidays. This is my first post on Lipstick and Lattes and with it being Easter and all, I wanted to share with you my favourite nail colour for Spring. Being from California, we are BIG on keeping up with nail appointments, but since moving to the UK I've found that actually getting your nails done isn't as big. So adapting and all, I starting collecting a colourful collage of nail varnish that I do myself.


Miss Sporty is definitely one of my favourite brands. They offer such fun colours and the the drying time is really quick so it's great when your on the run... which I usually am.
Miss Sporty clubbing colour in Grape Fit for £1.99 
This is my little nail station that I keep all my favourite colours in. I got this glass jar from Ikea and I put all my colours on display. It's easier this way otherwise I forget what I have. I also have two smaller jars with my cotton pads and q-tips for when I make a mistake. How do you store your nail varnish?
