What if Game of Thrones was a romantic comedy?

I’m gutted I missed this t-shirt design on TeeFury a few days back:

Minions Have The Phone Box

Despicable Me minions and the TARDIS! TeeFury only sells each design for one day, so there’s no way to buy this one at the moment, unless it’s voted up again.

A while back I discovered the brand United Nude in a small shoe store on Charing Cross road and immediately fell in love with their unique and pretty heels. They only had a few designs in stock though and sadly at the time none that fit me. Much to my delight though United Nude have now opened several stores in London!

I managed to get this awesome pair for £65 in their sale 2 weeks back and I adore them:

United-Nude-Mosaic

They look awesome and are quite comfy despite being so high. My only problem is the thinness of that heel; I keep getting it stuck in the gaps betweens tiles and cobblestones. Not exactly handy for most London streets, but a minor inconvenience for how great they look.

I’m already wondering what pair to get next, even though I know I should be a good girl and wait till their next sale. Or at least wait until I see how long my current pair last. As much as I love the designs, £150+ is quite a hefty bit to pay…

Their new Autumn collection has some gorgeous designs though and I am so so tempted! Here are a couple of my favourites:

Fold

Available as Lo (£119), Mid (£139), Hi (£139) and Deluxe Hi (£149) and in 12 different colour combinations. Pictured below is the Fold Deluxe Hi in Forest:

United-Nude-Fold

Eamz

Available as Pump (£199), Rose (£219), Zoe (£295), Collar (£220) and Bootie (£215). Pictured below is the Eamz Pump in Cherry Patent:

United-Nude-Eamz

Lola

Available in 4 colour combinations (£159): Gunmetal/Black/Grey, Black/Petrol, Bordeaux/Magenta and Brown/Yellow/Fossil. Picture below is the Gunmetal/Black/Grey:

United-Nude-Lola

Lo Res

Available in 9 colours (£135). Pictured below is the Purple Rubber:

United-Nude-Lo-Res

Winter Eros

Available in 4 colour combinations (£195): Black, Black/Bordeaux, Black/Smoke and White/Peach. Pictured below is Black/Smoke:

United-Nude-Winter-Eros

They’re all quite unique, right? My favourite is the Winter Eros; it looks as if it came straight out of a sci-fi movie. Which most probably means it won’t be that practical to wear… Which one is your favourite?

Time for another pretty dress! I love this one from Modcloth called Modern Fairytale; the neckline is interesting and the layered skirt looks awesome. Plus: pockets!

Modern-Fairytale-dress

It’s available from Modcloth for $154.99.

I’ve been a huge fan of Knomo’s bags for quite a couple of years now and I always am curious to see what they do next. I own a couple of their bags and they’re the perfect blend of style and practicality, protecting your gadgets, while still remaining pretty.

Two weeks ago I got invited along to Knomo’s relaunch and press preview event, and obviously I wanted to see their new designs. Well, turns out they’ve re-branded and redone their website, and got a new logo: the Fox, an intelligent and sleek creature, well-travelled and stylish. I think it suits the brand perfectly; it’s adorable, pretty and smart, just like their bags!

Knomo relaunch

At the event they also gave a sneak peak of some of the upcoming Autumn/Winter designs and I can’t wait to share some of them with you, when they properly launch. For now, you’ll have to do with two new lines: the Fitzrovia and the Marylebone collections. Both collections feature the new Fox logo and the relaunched Knomo ID, a new way to register your bag.

Here are a couple of my favourites of the new lines:

Wigmore – £199

A lightweight slim briefcase with quilted protected compartment to hold a laptop up to 14″. Available in three colours: black, marine and black cherry.

Knomo Wigmore

Oldbury – £179

A handbag with detachable shoulder strap with a lightly quilted compartment to protect an iPad/Tablet up to 10″. Available in three colours: black and marine.

Knomo Oldbury

Little Portland – £99

A slim over-the-shoulder bag with a quilted protected compartment to hold a laptop up to 13″. Available in three colours: black, marine and black cherry.

Knomo Little Portland

Gorgeous, right? Each of the designs above have one padded compartment for a laptop/tablet, and enough little compartments and sections for all of your other gadgets and gizmos. I can’t wait to get my hands on these and try them out properly!

Btw, if you’re around London next week, Knomo are holding a sample sale on the 28th, 29th and 30th August! It’s running from 9am till 7pm at The Music Rooms, 26 South Molton Lane. For full details, check out the Knomo blog.

The last few days have been blissfully relaxing: I’m currently on holiday in Croatia and most of my time has been spent on sitting next to the pool to swim, sunbathe and read. I wish I had a proper geeky swimsuit though!

For ages I’ve been eyeing Black Milk’s geeky swimsuit designs, but nothing really popped out as a must-have to me. They’ve had some cool Lord of The Rings and Star Wars designs in the past, but I’m not a massive enough fan of either of those to spend $100 on a swimsuit. They’ve now just launched a Mass Effect line… and I really want their N7 swimsuit!

Mass Effect Swimsuit N7

Next to that N7 swimsuit, I’m also loving this cool Tali swimsuit:

Mass Effect Swimsuit Tali

The above two designs also come as leggings and dresses, and there are also three other Mass Effect (comic) designs. I wish they had added some of the other artwork; I would have loved to have seen a swimsuit with Garrus or the Normandy on it!

I love zombies. And I love superheroes. So combining the two: yay!

I came across this book series last week while browsing at the Forbidden Planet and Nathan Fillion’s quote on the second cover jumped out at me. I still love being able to browse stores and come across books you normally might not come across. It’s another reason why I just don’t want to switch over to something like a Kindle.

Ex-Heroes

Here’s the description from Amazon:

The Mighty Dragon. Stealth. Gorgon. Regenerator. Cerberus. Zzzap.

They were superheroes fighting to make Los Angeles a better place. Then the plague of living death spread. Billions died, civilization fell, and the City of Angels was left a desolate zombie wasteland. But the ex-humans aren’t the only threats the heroes face. Another group is amassing power . . . led by an enemy with the most terrifying ability of all.

I already started reading it and so far it’s great! The book jumps between Now and Then chapters. “Now” is two years after the zombie apocalypse and a group of survivors have converted the old Hollywood studios into their home. “Then” is first-person perspectives from the superheroes before and during the first outbreaks. I can’t wait to see this goes on; I’m so tempted to get its sequels (Ex-Patriots and Ex-Communication) to bring with me on holiday!

Ex-Heroes is available from Amazon.co.uk for £3.85.

For the past few weeks I’ve been on a mission to expand my geek jewellery collection. I realized subtle silver earrings are the easiest way to go, so I ordered these adorable Space Invader earrings last week. They’re adorable!

Space Invader Earrings

I was scared they might be too big, but they’re exactly the right size. Geeky yet elegant!

They’re available in gold plated and silver plated from etsy store DoubleBJewelry for £8.35/$12.50.
