Banana heeled shoes are the shoe to have this season, they are also very comfortable.


Nancy Banana shoes are great as you have the fashionable banana heel and you also have the electric blue colour which looks great with boring black.

Nicker Elastic X Over Taupe Patent


Beige patent shoes with black elastic, these shoes are a softer version of the banana heel. Good for jazzing up a black dress, but not too in your face as the Nancy Banana ones.

Friday night is here and you have your outfit lined up but you don’t know what shoes to wear with it.
This post is letting you know what is in Office at the moment and which shoes will go with your Friday night dress!!!


Nobodys Fool are the most comfortable shoe, my friend has these and she said that she didn’t need any party feet in them. Pretty simple style but as they are in satin it makes them very special.

Nounded Cover Platform
If you don’t want to show off your toes or just haven’t had enough time to paint your toenails, then go for these. The platform is very high so these will make your legs look very slim.

Ruche Front Peeptoe
Gold shoes are perfect for the blue dress from Miss Selfridge in one of my previous posts, but again as they are tall heels it will make your legs look longer.

Nif Naf Punched
I love these shoes as they are great for a night out, but also suitable for the day.
The cone heel is easier on your instep so if you know that you are going to be on your feet all night go for these.

Do you ever find that you are watching TV and then see someone wearing something and you have no idea on where to get it from?


Christine Bleakley on the One Show on Wednesday 29th May looked stunning in a beautiful bright blue dress, the dress is from Miss Selfridge and is perfect for a summer’s day.


If you see anything on TV that you would like to know where to get it from, just contact me by clicking on Contact Lucy to the left and I will hopefully let you know.



I don’t know if you have the same problem that I always have on a Friday night, I get in from work and try to figure out what to wear.


Miss Selfridge has some items that are perfect for a night out if you want to be that little bit more dressy.


Black Playsuit, I love this as it is keeping in line with what’s fashionable, but also very flattering, team with heels from Office that I wrote about in this post.

Black Tulip Dress, this dress is tulip shape so is great for the fuller figure. Team the dress with brighter accessories if you don’t want to blend into the background.

Blue Ruffled Battered Dress, If you don’t want to wear a black dress then go for this blue dress. I would go for gold accessories and the gold heels from Office mentioned in this post.

Rouched Boobtube Dress, Body Con is the hardest fashion to wear, as you have to have the figure to wear it, just make sure you have the right underwear underneath this.

The one item that I always treat myself to every year is a new pair of Wedges, I find that they are the most comfortable heel there is.


Office has a huge range of reasonably priced shoes which are very fashionable.


Wedges can be put with basically anything but if you are wanting a more feminine look then go for wedges with a smaller heel.


What a Corker Wedge
These wedges are lovely and summery, I can imagine wearing these by the pool on holiday. They also come in black.

Wyoming T-Bar
Perfect for work, a smarter style wedge would look lovely with a skirt, as it is a thinner heel.

Noovy Groovy
I want a pair of these for my wardrobe, how nice would these look with tanned legs and a black skirt, I also like the idea of the buckle strap as these are more comfortable.

When it starts getting warm I always look in my wardrobe and think of what to wear for work.
I find work clothes very hard to piece together as you want to look smart but also fashionable.


I have been having a look at New Look and they have some very fashionable items at the moment, what I have gone for it cut off shirts and then either trousers or a skirt.


Ruffles are very big this season and look really good on shirts, I have picked a few shirts from New Look.


Stripe Ruffle Blouse


This shirt is very flattering as you have the ribbon around it, so if you have a bit of a belly this would be good for you. I would team this with Belted Formal Trousers and heels.

Stripe Ruffle Blouse


Ruffle Front Blouse


This blouse is lovely with a pencil skirt I would tuck it in to create a smarter effect. It comes in jade and black if you don’t want to wear the white one. With this one make sure that you have the correct bra, I would choose a t-shirt bra to create the smooth effect.

Ruffle Front Blouse


Gingham Gypsy Shirt


The gingham is the perfect pattern if you want to jazz up a plain black skirt, the empire neckline is very flattering. You can wear this tucked in or have it hanging out, put it with Belted Formal Trousers if you are bigger on the bottom half.

Gingham Gypsy Shirt


Check Ruffle Shirt


Not much to say about this, the checks are lovely and fresh, if you are bigger up top I would stay clear of this one. Team with Belted Crop Trousers and black wedges as this will give the appearance of height if you are a bit short.

Check Ruffle Shirt


Metallic Blouse


This tie blouse is good for work and great for the evening, add the Buttoned Skirt and heels. This top comes in pink as well.

The next two items are the item that every lady should have in their wardrobe this summer, the playsuit is very hard to pull off, so make sure that you team it with flats and you will not look too dressy.
