I have too many shoes

I've heard that green is going to be big this year, so naturally I've been on the hunt for a pair of shoes to meet the new season trends.  I found this pair online at Dorothy Perkins - what do you think?

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 . . .

Chrissie is both a friend and a work colleague, she's married with ...

I spotted an interesting article on the Guardian online, where a reporter attended an ethical shoe making workshop for a day and ended up with a pair of shoes created by herself. Green Shoes is the company based in Devon providing the workshops with ethical production at the heart of its principles.  They also produce shoes, sandals, boots and accessories for men, women and children.  I quite like the Gwen bag that has a timeless appeal to it.  They currently have a 75% archive sale on too, if you're interested in a browse.  If they design a course to create the perfect pair of stilettos  I might be interested in taking part.
