A belated merry christmas and happy new year!

Sorry it's been so long since I last blogged, I've been busy again with little time to do any blogging. I spent almost a month over in California during Christmas and new years and on top of all that I was sick over there and still recovering. I had a really good Christmas and new years eve and hope you all did too! The weekend before Christmas I was lucky enough to spend 2 and a half days in Disneyland, so will do a report of my time there. I also got to go to my very first lakers game which was very enjoyable and also visited the Danish Village of Solvang. I have a lot of catching up to do and so many things I want to blog about so hopefully in the next few weeks I can get those done. I think I'll start with my Disney trip as that is already written up :)

Take me out to the ball game!

Wednesday evening I went to LA to see my first ever baseball game at the Dodgers stadium, I've wanted to go to a baseball game for years. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan but I do enjoy watching it on tv and I find it much more interesting than football (English football). The tickets we got were purchased from Stub Hub which is a great website where people who have season passes and can't make it on a certain day will sell their tickets, the total price for tickets was $16 for two. Bargain! 

It was kind of a last minute decision to go to a game and I hadn't brought my Dodgers tshirt that I'd bought a few months back so I went out last minute to find a new one. I didn't find any women's shirts sadly and all the men's smalls were gone too, so I had to settle for a large kids shirt haha! Maybe it was juniors? I'm not sure but it definitely wasn't an adult size.

The front of the shirt just says Los Angeles with the number 22 underneath. The back has a big '22' and the name 'Kershaw' which is the guy who pitches for the Dodgers. I tied a knot on the side of the tshirt to tighten it a little and I think it looks a lot better this way than just a big baggy tshirt, I just paired it with some grey shorts from American Eagle and pair of blue and white Ralph Lauren espadrilles

If you've ever played rounders in school, baseball is pretty much identical. There are a few differences, like the bat is bigger and longer and instead of batting with one hand you use two. It's quite easy to follow and if you don't understand just look at the screen or ask the person next to you ;)

The most fun is in the crowd, someone started a wave and it went around the stadium about 5 times in a row. They also do a kiss cam and some guy proposed to his girlfriend on it, then they have a dance cam. Just watching everyone is really fun. 

As usual with sports arena's the food was overpriced but the Dodger Dog I had was so good and I couldn't go to a baseball game and NOT have a hot dog.

For my first ever baseball game and the price it cost to go, I had an awesome time. Not only that but it ended well with the Dodgers winning, yay! It was so much fun not just to watch the game but interacting with the crowd. I'm hoping to go and see the Dallas cowboys this weekend as they're in the area for practice and all games are free :) 

Have a good weekend! 

Shoe Collection (heels)

Last year I think I went a bit shoe crazy and developed a bit of an addiction I guess you could say. I'm a bit picky with what kind of shoes I like so when I see it I have to buy it. This year I've told myself no more shoes. Let's see how well that goes! I'm trying to save for a pair of Jimmy Choo's, so with that in mind it might give me some will power to say no, and every time I want a pair of shoes I might put some money into the fund. I find that with these shoes I remember where and when I bought most of them, so I'll tell you a little bit about each one.

1] Bought these at New Look about 3/4 years ago I think, I use them mostly for job interviews

2] These I got to go with my blue dress from New Look for new years eve 2011

3] Bought these New Look about 3 years ago, I love the peep toe and lace

4] I got this pair in Los Angeles last year

5] I really like these, I got these at the Beverly Center, they're by Bagdely Mischka

6] Madden Girl: Bought these for about $12 reduced from $65 in California last December

7] Steve Madden, bought these in Vegas last August

8] Madden Girl, also bought these in Los Angeles at the Beverly Center

9] Bought at New Look, I love the lace on these and the strap, really comfortable to wear too

10] Steve Madden, bought in California. Probably the highest heels I own!

11] Bought these at Dorothy Perkins, I love their shoes so much and I loved the ribbon on these

12] Same with these, I loved that they did up with pink ribbon, bought these from Faith at Debenhams

13] These are my latest shoes, bought them from primark reduced from £18 to £6 to picked a pair up

14] These are Versace by H&M, I didn't go to the opening day of this collection so to find a size 5 the day after I was pretty lucky as there were maybe 2/3 pairs left. The arch on these is quite steep so although it isn't a big heel it still takes some getting used to!

I think it's safe to say I love Steve Madden haha. Are you as much into shoes as I am? Do you have a favourite pair?
