Shoes in the news or should I say our new flexible friends

Someone really does have the technology!

Spotted this article online. Shoe Designer Raphael Young has created a high heel that will help you maintain your fashion status without the 'killer' heels.

His R-Flex range has been created using his own patented technology as explained in a presentation on his website . . . 'dramatically improving the comfort and flexibility of the shoe while keeping an external look similar to any other « standard » shoe, it brings maximum softness and sets a new standard of comfort for high-heeled shoes.'

Comfortable fashion 24/7
As I've got older, I've noticed that my feet are less tolerant of spending hours in high heels, so any shoes developed to ease our 'suffering' has definitely got my vote!

To purchase these 'feet-savers' will set you back a few hundred pounds and one Daily Mail reader has suggested saving yourself the money by putting a pair of your existing shoes in the microwave to soften them! Is this really safe? Sounds completely bonkers to me.

They sound good! I am definitely getting less tolerant about heels. I'm the happiest in my Uggs or my Fitflops these days! I'm really showing my age! xx

Spotted on the street

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...

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...

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  ...
