My day in Hollyoaks!

I can't believe its took me sooo long to put up this post! I went to be in the audience for the Hollyoaks music show back in May (the studio is only about half an hour away from me) and I totally forgot to do a post for it until now - actually I was only reminded because I watched Britains next top model and they were looking round the Hollyoaks set!

Here is the McQueens house, I love the McQueens they're such a great TV family! It's so funny though because theres actually nothing behind that wall!

Here I am outside Il Nosh... we got to dance on the tables inside after this was taken!

and here I am at the pub...

 and outside the SU Bar...

and by the 'canal', wich is actually just like a little pond in real life! They do some very clever camera trickery at the Hollyoaks studios!

All in all it was a pretty fun day - but we did have to wait around A LOT in between filming! I do not envy TV people.. well actually thats not true, if I was getting paid for it I'd  probably love waiting around alot! 

Aaaaand a few weeks later I got to see myself on TV!!!! For like a second, but still it was a big moment for me and probably one that wont happen again!

Boots!!!

I want these Boots soo much it hurts a little bit!

Ahh look at them aren't they gorgeous!? These are the Helsan boots by Malene Birger and they retail for about £333.  I love the ankle strap and the platform, and the cosy sock detail and the grip at the bottom means they'd a good buy for winter! Also they have a side zip so you don't have to mess about tying up those laces! However at the moment £333 is just a little out of my price range, thinking about it the most I've ever spent on shoes so far is £70! On my list of things to do is to one day own a pair of designer shoes, but alas that day is today! (or even in the foreseeable future!)

Sooo I did a little research to see if I could find similar boots which were a little less pricey and I've decided to share what I found with you!

There are quite a lot of nice boots like this around at the moment...

This pair from Next (£70) are a pretty good dupe - and also have a zip fasten to save fiddliness!

Also from Next are these cute little skater boots (£60) although they lack the time saving zip!

Next up are these Bullboxer boots available from Barratts (£55)

 These comfy looking boots are from River Island and come in at £74.99 (no zip by the looks I'm afraid though!)

Although they don't have the lace detail I was looking for, this pair also from River Island, really caught my eye! (£74.99)

And if you liked the RI boots but are looking for something cheaper, this pair from New Look are a bargain at only £29.99

Again they don't have the lace detail I was looking for, but I really like this pair, also from New Look  (£34.99)

However I think my favourite lookey likey has to be this pair from Dune - which also just so happen to be the most expensive of the bunch at £125, typical! I just love a chunky platform sole though, and these definitely deliver on that! And they have a zip yay!

Thats enough drooling over boots, time to get some sleep!
