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.

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...
