Day One Hundred & Thirty Three - A Little Cheat

Yep, that's right, a little cheat today because I'm feeling like crap and really don't fancy digging out a pair of shoes much less going anywhere in them. I ordered these shoes yesterday and have had my eye on them for a good while. They arrived today and I'm just a little disappointed. They don't *look* that expensive, until you see the details up close, plus they are too big for me. I thought I might need a size up, but due to the conversion from US sizing, I think these are 1 1/2 or 2 sizes too big, so they are going back. A lemming killed!

Day One Hundred & Thirty Two - Heel Toe, Heel Toe

An apology first of all for no post yesterday. I was looking after my two little nephews and there wasn't a spare minute to take any photos, plus I didn't go out all day so never wore any shoes. I'm shattered today though, both boys are extremely cute (I'm sure all Aunts say that) but very tiring! Now onto todays beautiful and bright shoes. It's not often I find it difficult to walk in heels, but I was nearly struggling with these. The placement of the heel (it goes straight down from the back of the shoe) means you really have to walk heel first and kind of build up momentum to bounce along so it doesn't look too awkward. Also I think I've become used to wearing platforms and these have a 4 3/4" heel without any at all, so definitely not dancing shoes! I love the large buckle fastening though, it's so easy, no fussing with elasticated buttons or tiny little buckles!

Day One Hundred & Thirty One - Looks Can Be Deceiving

A beautiful sunny day today, but freezing once you're outside. I decided to go with the weather and wear a more summery shoe but team it with lacy socks for a little bit of warmth. These shoes look incredibly high, but actually your foot feels very flat in them, I suppose the large platform reduces the heel height.

Day One Hundred & Thirty - No Frills

Hello, how are you all? It's taking me forever to do things today, I really can't be bothered. It's 4 o'clock already and I haven't really done anything yet. This is about my third outfit of the day and 2nd change of shoes, because I'm being so indecisive. These are my ruffle shoes without the frilly bit (obviously). I really like that you can change the ruffles between the other colours of shoes or wear them without. They are totally gorgeous both ways!

Day One Hundred & Twenty Nine - Skate On Thin Ice

Had a lovely day shopping today. You know that way when you're not looking for anything, you find lots to buy? I got a couple of dresses, some makeup and lots more jewellery and some unexpected bargains! I'll be posting pics this week on Pink Haired Princess, so be sure to check that out. Today, it is beyond freezing, brrrr! My toes were like ice in these ankle boots, but aren't they super cute? Like little skating boots.
