Blue Patent Pumps

I have been a bridesmaid three times, apparently it is bad luck to be a bridesmaid four times so I am hoping this is my lot. I brought these heels from Marks and Spencers to wear with my bridesmaid dress for wedding number two which took place in 2011.

 

The shoes were a little bit tight, but I like the fact that they only had a small kitten heel and the booble embellishments on the front were quite cute and worked because my dress was quite plain.

 

I have great memories of the wedding as it was one of my best mates who got married, and these shoes allowed me to dance right through to the early hours of the morning. Having said that because it was January and had recently snowed I did have to don my hunter wellies to go to the church.

 

Not sure when i'll wear my shoes again, but I wouldn't dare throw them away, much like my bridesmaid dresses which are still dutifully in my wardrobe.

The brown lace up brogues

One of my few purchases from Primark, I brought these heels in 2006 ish when I was a poor student and could not afford to buy the Topshop version of these shoes. If I remember rightly they were a take on a pair of Vivienne Westwood or Alexander McQueen shoes back when no one else was doing the hidden platform look for shoes.

The shoes cost around £15, and even though they are not real leather the PU used looks pretty authentic. What I like about these brogues is the double tongue/laces, having said that I have never worn them and they continue to gather too much dust in my wardrobe. Too many shoes and not enough time.

Excuse my socks

It's all in the styling as far as I am concerned, and in this case I hold my hands up the umbrella socks with the sandals look is not great. Regardless, I love the idea of these sandals they are casually chic. I was drawn to them as a work shoe for the summer with there high but not ridiculously so heel.

Fast forward to me walking from the train to work in them and I realise I have been wrong. Not only do the sandals pinch the front of my wide feet, but the straps also dig into my ankles. Duh.

At least they weren't too expensive at around £50, from Topshop. I am sure I will grit my feet and wear them again, they will work for a couple of weddings that I will be going to in the next years.

My Black Leather Litas

My black leather Litas have been in my possession for almost ten months. They are the most expensive pair of shoes that I own at £125, I debated long and hard before I decided to take the plunge with these supersized heels. Available in soo many colours I ummed and ahhed about which colour to get. My love affair with the shoes began in November 2011 when I visited New York with my friend who was obsessed with the shoes, she made me go in a million shops that sold them before finally get a navy pair (which unfortunately they don't do in the UK).

 

In the end I went for black as it is a classic and goes with everything. On the day that I brought them I was feeling particularly down about my badly paid Nightclub job that I was trying to do justice, (thankfully that is behind me). So these shoes were a great pick me up!

 

What I love about these apart from the instant inches that they give me, is the fit and look. When I wear these shoes I feel like a glamazon, however many people are shocked by the JCS and find them extreme. One guy actually classed them as stripper shoes, the cheek! These are my favourite night out heels as they give me a great silhouette and are sturdy enough not to get messed up during a night out. Lita's Forever!!!
