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.

Silver Plait Flip Flop

The sun has tentatively been peering out from behind the clothes this week, so I decided to write about some summer footwear. I have absolutely no luck with sandals, they never last more than a couple of months. It usually begins with a soaking in the rain and ens in scuffed toes and detached soles.

I have tried cheap sandals, and expensive ones but nothing seems to last very long. Perhaps I am a heavy stomper? I brought these flip flops from Primark for around £5 last summer (2012) and to be honest I am not sure I can dare wear these out.

I love summer, and can not wait for an opportunity to consider wearing these sandals or to go out and buy some new ones!

Patent Turquoise Pumps

The first week back of the year was quite painful, too many things to do and not enough brain power. Getting up at the regular time again really sucked the big one. It also messed with my daily shoe posts but I am back on track.

These patent beauties were not actually brought for me to wear, I brought them for a photoshoot that I was doing at Uni in my final year (2007). It was candy/ sweet inspired and these shoes were bang on trend. They cost about £6.00 and I brought them from my local Primark...I am not sure why I still hang on to them, I don't think I'll ever wear them but there are fond memories of my shoot although I didn't end up using the shoes in any of the photos.



Black and Gold Mary Janes

These Miu Miu inspired shoes where purchased from Primark. I loved the mixture of patent leather and gold together. The mary jane style shoes are beautifully cut as well, and are very faltering to the foot. Unfortunately the shoes are not very comfortable, I managed to wear them on one night out a few years ago but by the end I was walking bare foot home. I also lost the bottom off this shoe, which means I need to get them re-heeled, costing almost as much as the shoes which were a £12 bargain.

 

I have no idea, when I brought these shoes, but they have been tucked at the back of my wardrobe for many years. I have recently brought the best skirt to wear with these heels so I need to them repaired sharp-ish!!!!
