News about shoes

I never thought I would say this but I can really relate to Mariah Carey! Recently she took a tumble while performing at a concert in Singapore. The trooper that she is, she carried on singing but summoned an assistant to the stage to take off her shoes. I honestly thought that the diva behaviour was an urban legend (if rumours are true, JLo also displays similar behaviour.  Perhaps they attended a diva finishing school somewhere in Manhattan).  I too, have required an assistant (namely my friend Heather) to help me buckle up my shoes (below).  I blame having false nails and small buckles for my dilemma but perhaps its my inner diva coming up.  Now with the winter months approaching I need to employ an assistant to carry my brolly, I'll call Mariah and see who she recommends . . .


one, two, buckle my shoe . . . NOW!


Also in the news, The Telegraph reports on the shoe designs of Kobi Levy.  Describe in his own words as 'wearable sculptures' they certainly stand out as a work of art or something.  My personal favourites are the 'dog' shoes.  What are yours?

LOL! These false nails are pesky. I managed to be at work and didn't realise until after lunch that I hadn't done up my zip, I blame the nails!

Oh my gosh those shoes are beautiful! All of those buckles would be annoying after a few alcohoic drinks though! hehe. xoxo

I love my buckled shoes but one day I have visions of me coming home after a night out and having to sleep in my shoes because I can't undo them!

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

Image
As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
