Spotted on the street


I spotted Katie from work in these lovely shoes purchased in a Clark's sale.  Katie said this is the one pair of shoes out of all her shoes, that people comment on the most despite having more expensive shoes in her collection.

On a current shopping trip with her young daughter, her love of shoes was brought into question when filling her shopping basket with more than a few pairs at Marks and Spencers, Katie was asked if she really needed that many shoes. . . . Well the current range at M and S are both tempting and good value for money, what's a girl supposed to do?

I'm sure that there is plenty of time of Katie's daughter to learn that less is definitely not more when buying shoes, although I do hear that's she's developing a fine appreciation of handbags and shoes herself..

We discussed our mutual love of shoes when Katie mentioned a Spice-Girl influenced outfit back in the nineties (admit it, the Spice Girls were very influential during that era and I hold my hand up to have a Geri-inspired haircut) when her mum treated her to some leopard print trousers and shoes.  The shoes were too small but she loved them that much (still has them today) that she gritted her teeth and danced painfully to Two becomes One.  Now that truly is Girl Power!

Yes a valuable lesson to learn is that there is no such thing as too many when it comes down to shoes!

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!.
