Shoe Lust

Shoe Lust returns!I am 100% obsessed with Queen Michelle, of Kingdom of Style fame, generally and this outfit is truly great. The winklepickers are from Underground London and come in at £68, they look a bit Jonathan Kelsey dontcha think?

I'm back by the way blog readers (if there are any left after my dismal blogs of late)

Shoe Lust

Shoe lust is back, having lusted over Rick Owens boots all weekend on Jak & Jil, i stumbled across these Irregular Choice fold down beauties, yes they maybe clocking in at £100 but I think I might treat myself.

Worn with skinny jeans and a rip off Margiela top would be a good look I reckon. My boyfriend thinks they are gross so let me know what you think, picture below

For when you can't afford Russell & Bromley

Go to Topshop instead, £50 and not as nice but times are hard

Shoe lust is back! These Preen for Topshop boots are just gorgeous, I want them, £110 though, gulp. Did anyone see them in Sunday's Observer magazine? Love

Pelvis Creeper...erm

I have to admit that on first site I was not a fan of Office's new Pelvis Creeper shoes, they are the heeled version of the more often seen flat Creeper worn by rockabilly kids and cost a whopping £80

The original Creeper...



However, on one of my recent blog trawling session I saw someone photographed in a pair of these bad boys and they look pretty good. So good, i'm off to try them on!

The net-a-porter effect

Anyone who picked up The Guardian's weekend magazine yesterday will have seen the Marni sandal led women's fashion feature, a feature so beautifully styled that it sent me into a bit of a platform frenzy. Google Marni platforms today and the first thing that will come up is the most disappointing Net-A-Porter page one could ever see, that's right, the SOLD OUT emblazoned, heart breakingly, gut wrenchingly, bare page of woe.

Don't get me wrong, I have never bought anything from Net-a-porter, the £10 delivery charge would pretty much break my bank. However, one day I hope I can go out and make a whimsical purchase from there - lets hope that by the time I pluck up the courage to buy something I won't see 'the page'. Shopping on the internet is so instant and guilt free, there was even an article in last week's Sunday TImes Style about online shopping addicts who are finding spending £400 on a pair of Marnis super easy simply because they do not experience check out guilt...

I imagined tribes of fashionable ladies picking up a Guardian supplement over their mint tea, falling in love with said shoes and clicking the proceed to checkout button yesterday morning. I'm quite jealous but also quite glad I haven't book marked NAP. I for one need checkout guilt to keep me on the (almost) straight and narrow in terms of my finances and long may that guilt rein.

Sometimes a shoe is just too perfect to pass, they have been featured on Kingdom of Style and in Grazia already but hey!
