Tieks .. My latest OBSESSION!!!

For quite some time I have been interested in these ballet flats by the brand Tieks. They are marketed as soft ballet flats that mold to the shape of your feet, providing great comfort AND have a teal sole as a statement mark.

The Rose Gold Glam pair had caught my eye whilst surfing the net late night as I usually do and found them to be undoubtedly gorgeous!!

I have occasionally visited the website in hopes of placing an order, but the sizing is confusing and I haven't been able to make a purchase. This time round, I was determined to sort out the sizing dilemma and in order to get a clearer idea of how their sizing works, I contacted Tieks.

I was advised the following by Alex Hurd, "We've found that because of the way Tieks stretch and mold to your foot, most half size women can comfortably size up or down, and often both. We typically recommend half size women to size down, unless you have a wide foot or sometimes size up. They should stretch where pressure is applied, but you shouldn't expect them to stretch in length."

According to Alex's recommendation, I think I will definitely order up and get a size 7 since I am a US 6.5. I don't want my toes to be crammed and poking out of the leather with a size 6. From pictures I have seen on Instagram, the shape of your toes, mostly likely will show a bit which I think is unavoidable - but that doesn't bother me as long as I have comfortable fit.

I am just about to place my first order and hope to like them as much as everyone does!!

To comfy feet and long walks ...

Ciao!!

Your friend,

Origins | A Perfect World

I used to use a particular face wash some years ago and then strayed off the path in search for something different. I was raiding my beauty closet and luckily this face wash was still in date!! * happy days..wink * I decided to use Origins A Perfect World face wash and old memories just came flooding back. Origins A Perfect World This is a no brainer!! It is not complicated like some other face washes which you either have to apply on dry skin to activate the exfoliating enzymes or wet skin so it slides effortlessly so as to unclog your pores. With this face wash, you simply squirt a dime size of the gel/cream and I apply it on my wet face. I like to massage my facial washes to help me relax after a tiring work day. This is not only relaxing, but also helps clear out any grime which may be festering in my pores. After use, my skin was wonderfully clean without it being tight. Origin states the following: " Th...

Benefit | Hydra Smooth Lip Color

At the blink of an eye, we have already reached the mid-way of another year. It will be Fall soon enough and I thought to talk about a lip color which I find quite flattering to wear during the Fall/Winter of any year. I have been wearing the lipstick for the last 2 - 3 years without fail along with my other suspects. The topic of discussion is the Hydra Smooth Lip Color by Benefit Cosmetics in the color fling thing, a very berry! Benefit: Hydra Smooth Lip Color Benefit: Hydra Smooth Lip Color The Benefit Hydra Smooth Lip Color, comes in an array of about ten different shades to suit all. You can find corals to pinks to vampy shades. The Hydra Lip Color USP is that it glides on swiftly onto the lips with the help of a slanted bullet - which gives a precise application. One doesn't need to use a lip brush for the deep, dark, bold colors as well. Fling thing is a berry shade that goes well with most outfits and doe...

Philip Kingsley | Body Building Shampoo

Every girl wants big, voluminous hair making heads turn by the millisecond. I am just the same, maybe not wanting all that attention, but surely love big hair! I have been using Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo for quite a while and have come to love it! Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo works like a charm on fine to limp hair by adding body and texture to it. I find that it also clarifies my hair just as well as any clarifying shampoo. My hair tends to dry out a bit if I don't use a conditioner. But, nothing really comprises the body this bad boy gives. It retails for £18 at www.l ookfantastic.com for a bottle of 250ml.
