Turquoise Court Shoes

During the festive period I was at home where I was able to rediscover some more shoes, yes more! I am a bit abashed about the amount of pairs that I own but I guess without them I wouldn't have anything to write about.

I was drawn to these shoes because of the colour, I liked that they were quite bright, but I remember I had also seen Kirsten Dunst wear something very similar. She was a major style icon...

The shoes were purchased from Faith in 2004/5/6 in Portsmouth (a lovely town). I have worn them on many nights out. As you can see the fronts of the shoes are really scuffed. I had to get them re-heeled as well with metal studs. I would recommend doing this to all stiletto heels as they wear down really quickly however the only place I know that does the metal heels is in Northampton...The heels on these are quite small so perfect for dancing the night away.

Black Swashbuckler Boots

These swashbuckling boots were a good purchase in 2010, probably one of my better footwear purchases. These are the boots that I keep and will keep getting out every winter because they are soo comfortable and warm. The perfect boots ready for any weather!

These boots are from Dune and I got them in the sale however they were still about £89 maybe more!!! In November 2011 me and my fashion bestie Fashion Somebody took a week's vacation to New York, it was soo cold and I wore these boots constantly. Maybe not very Sex and the City but still...the trip was epic.

Black Patent Strappy Heels

I kind've wish I had painted my nails in this photo, but these shoes still look 'fierce'. I brought them from Dorothy Perkins circa 2009/10, they were around forty quid which I thought was a bargain. The highstreet was flooded with versions of these but these dotty p's ones were kind've fabulous.

These are some sexy sandals, and my inner Rhianna stepped forward and strutted out of the shop with the patent heels. I have worn these shoes quite a few times on nights out, but I guess that look went out of fashion so I stopped wearing them.

I have fallen in love with these shoes all over again and I am going to wear these bad boys soon, but I think I will play them down with my baggy mum jeans!!!

Red Snakeskin Shoes

This style of shoe used to be an Office classic, every season without fail the retailer brought forth these heels in every colour and finish imaginable. The bottom line was probably getting smaller which is why they stopped doing them.

What I love about these shoes are the short heels, the t-bar and the pointed toe combined. The style is perfect for nights out or job interviews and make all outfits look professional. These shoes are very well worn and it is only their unusual nature/silhouette that has kept them in my wardrobe for the last six years; but they do need some serious love and care.

Although very treasured, I remember wearing the heels on one occasion on a night out with my old housemates. While waiting at the bus stop a random guy declared 'You know they say about women who wear red shoes...Red shoes, no knickers'. I was of course wearing knickers, but it is unfortunate that donning red shoes leads to such a bad reputation!!! Wear them with care...

Black Leather Calf Boots

Guaranteed every year from November to March I search relentlessly for the ultimate pair of knee high boots. My biggest problem is that I am quite short and high boots just make me look short, the second problem is my calfs. I found these boots in River Island and what was nice about them is that they are not too too high.

 

I got them as a Christmas present in 2009 or 2010 I think, and although I really liked them at the time, I feel like they are a bit to conservative for my general taste. Also my calves seem to have grown making them alot harder to wear. I think I am going to save these for a couple of years and when I am older I will come back to them. They are a classic after all!



Magenta Suede Strappy Heels

The love of the suede heel continues with these ridiculously sexy heels. The kind of heels that make you what to 'whip your head back and forth', or dance around your handbag listening to 'Single Ladies'. Yet another Topshop purchase this one was made in 2009. Not really my usual style but the colour drew me in.

I have probably only worn these heels once or twice, but had one very crazy night out wearing these heels with some of my old housemates. It started with 'Blue lagoons' (a popular cocktail) at a friends house and ended up with one of my friends being sick (10 mins after entering the night club) and hungover for two days and me almost getting into a fight after asking a couple to 'get a room'. Lols as they say!!!

Yellow Suede Peep Toe Heels

What is it about suede heeled shoes that make them irrestible, well to me anyway. They are luxurious and they always look pretty. These shoes were an impulse buy in July of this year from Topshop, I tried the shoes on and literally could not leave the shop without them. They are a very loose take on shoes from Miu Miu's AW2011 collection.

My friend Glitter Fashionista brought the same pair of shoes month's earlier in a peach colour, but they did not have as much appeal. The shoes are much brighter and more yellow than in this photo and were very on trend with the bright colours happening during SS13.

These shoes will always have a fond place in my heart because I wore them for a job interview, and I now have that job. I like to think that these shoes made it happen!!!! Well I felt super confident wearing these gorgeous peep toe heels either way!
