Mad about Jimmy, how about Choo?

I have serious shoe envy
Whenever and wherever I am, I'm always on the lookout for shoes. I love people watching and even more so since I started blogging.  Now my family has started to point shoe 'moments' out to me too!

I was at a cousin's engagement party last week, which was a fantastic party. Even my Gran (90 in August) managed to stay till after eleven, now that is an inspiration to live up to.

My Aunt made a point of highlighting these glorious shoes.  My cousin Matt bought his girlfriend Rachel a pair of Jimmy Choos for her birthday. After careful consideration of the joys of Louboutins, he decided on Jimmy Choos.  Classic black with a platform sole, these are  perfect for any outfit. For the party Rachel teamed them up with black leggings and a cream vintage-style top - classic yet current.



A total surprise for Rachel on her birthday, I like the fact that her first outfit with the Choos was her pjs!  While she is normally a handbag girl (A Mulberry Alexa would definitely be on her wish list) she has become a convert to the power of the Choos!

This was the third outing for the Choos but I'm hoping to see them and Rachel again soon.

Brassed Off (1996)- Danny's speech

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
