I have too many shoes

Do you use the expression 'save for best' ? So all your lovely shoes, clothes, make up or jewellery are saved for a special occasion and currently residing in your wardrobe waiting for its moment to shine? That moment can take weeks or months to happen, right? It definitely does for me.  I've got new clothes and shoes that haven't been worn yet, I'm saving them for something, some event or reason to wear them and they are just going to waste. I'm taking inspiration from a lady in my office who was rocking an amazing outfit for work, which included these gold loafer mules.  Her thinking was 'why save for best, wear it now!' Rather that restrict gold to nights out with cocktails, I'm thinking of adding that bit of sparkle to an office outfit.  So its time to re-think my wardrobe, dig out those shoes and stop waiting for 'best'. Shoes from Next , saving them for best?  The choice is yours...

I love the colour... I love the quirkiness... I love the chunky heel... I love the sixties vibe... I just love, love, love these shoes. Shoes from  Topshop

There is something about the warmer weather that puts a much needed spring in my step.  I want to put away my berry tone  heels, store my boots on a shelf and plan some perfect pedicures. These gorgeous Tabitha Simmons heels just sum up what hazy days, lighter evenings and not having to wear multiple layers is all about. Time to get those winter warmers ready to pack away!

I love using Pinterest to get ideas for our home improvements, planning outfits, drooling over cupcakes and discovering cocktails that I need to try. With an trip to New York planned in the next few months, I'm using it to research ideas for outfits that are a combination of chic yet casual, perfect for a city break with a nod to style by adding a statement necklace to a t-shirt and jeans or a pop of colour.  My current colour of choice is  yellow  to add a bit of sunshine to my capsule holiday wardrobe. These heels from Zara will give me that much-needed Carrie Bradshaw approach to my city style.

I'm hoping this recent purchase from Simmi Shoes will help me find my inner showgirl. I'm ready to shake my tassles on the dancefloor! 

  Sometimes, there are no reasons behind my shoe of the week choices, Sometimes its just because... I need them in my life! Heels  from Aldo.

If you've read some of my blog previously, then you'll know that I love a shoe with a buckle and I like a bit of vintage.  The details on these shoes , tick a number of items on my shoe checklist, so they just had to be my shoe of the week . Currently in the sale at Aldo. :)

So its my first shoe of the week for 2016. As its awards season, I like to nominate these River Island shoe boots for the best supporting role; for providing the perfect complement to a date night outfit, adding the funkiest style to that cute leather shift dress you've been saving for cocktails with the girls and providing general sass to any outfit.

There are a couple of things that I love about shoes...they need to be high,,,they need to be bright...and I love a buckle detail. These shoes from Aldo tick all my boxes and the red makes me feel a bit festive.  Perfect for Christmas party planning!

I'm looking for a shoe that will be perfect for the in-between seasons stage. Do you think these would do?

Bring on the summer! There is something about this time of year, when you can finally shed the tights or socks, release those toes and pack away your boots.  It's time to put some fun back into your shoe collection, whether its a bit of sparkle or a pair of shoes with a feathery touch added.  These would be perfect for the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Its been a long time between posts, life has been a little hectic but I am trying to improve my work/life/shoe balance starting with getting back to blogging. So, without further delay...let me introduce my latest shoe of the week post ,  Metallic, pointed, block heel and sparkle,  these shoes seem too pretty to wear but I definitely would if they weren't out of stock ;(

There are moments when shopping when something catches your eye and stops you in your tracks. These shoes were sitting on a shelf in my local Debenhams, they are probably still there too, waiting for me :(  Perfect for the in-between seasonal weather, perfect for me.

I am on a little holiday break, staying in a really cute cottage about five minutes drive from Cartmel Village and its famous racecourse. So I got inspired to find a shoe of the week that fits a day at the races, you just need to make sure you've got a ticket to the VIP stand!

Sometimes we need to keep it simple with shoes, just let the colour pop and team them up with something monochrome, like the dress below.  Both items are from Matalan, the dress I have, the shoes are yet to be purchased.

Zara are guaranteed to provide you with some gorgeous shoe 'crushes' for Spring and Summer. Ticking all the requisite style boxes with its 'strapp-iness', metallic and pinks, and the requisite ankle strap, this is the perfect shoe to grace any fashionista's wardrobe.  Ladies, its time for some retail therapy methinks!

Been a un-regular poster of late, but aiming to get back on track now with my regular shoe of the week posts. Here's the perfect shoe for the upcoming bank holiday weekend, its got that sunny colour and is a bit of fun for your shoe collection.  Here's hoping the weather is just as cheerful as these shoes!

I spotted a magazine news article about new brand on the web Hush.   Naturally I felt the need to investigate their website; curious to discover what shoe delights they had to offer. There are some lovely items to choose from; including the cute Lindsey sandals but it's these lovely, sparkly loafers that I have chosen for shoe of the week. As I am having a lovely chilled out Sunday with the husband, the Corinne Loafers would be the perfect accessory for the day.

You cannot go wrong with having a t-bar shoe in your collection,,  These from Next are available in Tan, Nude and Black.  I'm thinking of selling my high street shoes so I can completely refresh my shoe collection starting with these!

Chloe Jade Green, the Topshop heiress, has launched her second shoe collection . The whole collection just screams 'its holiday time'! The Rio Leopard  shoes stand out for me, perfect for dancing the night away whether your preference is for salsa, disco or hip hop.
