The Blue Shoes Styled
 |
| Pics taken with my camera phone - This weekend the photo quality seems to be off! |

| Black Top - H&M Blue Jumper - H&M Skinny Jeans - New Look Blue Shoes - H&M (see previous post) |
I’m
by no way a stylist; hell I pick comfort over style 85% of the time (don’t ask
about the other 15% lol)!
However
I reckon that these mid heels are suited to a simple outfit; skinny jeans,
leggings or even a sleek pencil skirt over a great flashy flowing dress. I think
that if the heel was higher, then the shoes would look great with a body con
midi dress
I
actually prefer the shoes with the black top rather than the blue jumper, just
because the shoes have an opportunity to be noticed.
What
do you think?
Blue Shoes

| Blue court shoes - H&M |
I think I ordered these blue babies
in November 2012….they have been in the delivery bag since then!
I actually didn’t even intend
to buy them…but then they were on sale for £5!
I’ve not had a chance to wear
them yet…kinda dreading breaking them in. Just thinking of my poor toes….all
for the sake of a sale! I don't really buy shoes from H&M so I hope my experience with their shoes won't be too negative; but then again who has a great time breaking in court shoes?
Studded Boots
With
the darker, colder days firmly in place many people will now be shopping for
their winter wardrobe.
I
have actually been reviewing the clothes in my possession and a significant
amount has gone on eBay or to charity. Having said that, I then have space to
buy a few more things!
My
latest arrival (because I purchased them online a while ago) are these studded low heel boots from H&M:

| Studded Shoe Boots (not real leather) - H&M, £29.99 Can be bought here |
I
like that these boots are a simple style; I also like that it has a low heel;
very practical. My mum says I walk like a soldier (hahaha!) so I can’t really
be running about London in impractical heels.
The
stud detail is subtle; the studs make the boots stand out without being too in
my face. It’s a style that I believe I can rock well into next winter.
I
hope these boots serve me well x
The Temptation of Nike
This is going to sound weird,
but I go to my local Nike store 3 times a week…..
I go there to work out as they
provide Nike Training Club classes as well as a yoga class. They have some
really decent clothes, not only for exercise but also for casual wear.
I’m usually a good girl – I look
but don’t touch unless I really, really, really need/want something. But when
Nike have their sales*, they put out a couple of gems and resistance becomes
futile:

| Women's Nike Free TR Fit 2 - Nike (duh!) Original Price - £80 Sale Price - £40 |
I succumbed to temptation on Monday without so much as a second thought. The trainers were originally £80
but were on sale for £40. I had been looking for a spare pair of work out
trainers and these just happened to be at a right price in the right colour. So
badly I wanted that when I was told that they had only a size 6.5 (US 9) I
still tried them on – and they actually fitted well (despite being half a size smaller)!
These trainers were meant
to be mine.

| Gold Digging T-Shirt - Nike Original Price - £16 Sale Price - £8 |
I love t-shirts in general; I felt that the above t-shirt would be welcome amongst my growing collection. This was also 50% off, so the purchase was all the more sweeter!
There are still quite few
tempting pieces to buy from Nike, especially with payday round the corner……
*Sale prices may/can vary from shop to shop
Mother v Daughter: Shoes
Summer has arrived
in London *tears of happiness* and I have this week off work!!!!
Following on from my previous post about the debate over
make-up, I follow with the next issue: shoes.
I have never really been a wearer of shoes, in particular
heels. I preferred wearing trainers (or ‘crepes’ as I used to call them –
London slang) and converses. I wore trainers during 6th form, uni,
and even to work. I even wore trainers to raves and clubs on occasion! I bought
trainers at least 3 times a year and wore them until the soles wore all the way
down.
Like the issue of make-up, it drove my mum mad…..she complained that I did not dress
like a woman! That’s not to say I didn’t ever wear heels; I tended to wear
kitten heels on one or two occasions and swiftly auctioned them off on eBay. I
thought that many of the heels on the high street were nice to look at, but
were impractical for the purposes of my life; plus I felt that high street
chains did poor quality shoes.
My friend Samantha was like me; she almost exclusively
wore trainers until 4 years ago when she started buying the highest heels and
supporting my mum’s mission to get me in heels. Thanks Samantha(!)
But in the last couple of years, I have started going
through a transformation and have become more open to wearing heels. I have
actually stopped wearing trainers to work (my mum was well chuffed!) and have
started to place my feet into lady like shoes a bit more often!
Now, I haven’t gone crazy with the heel height; the heels
I own are typically 3.5 – 4 inches. they have been featured in my previous posts:
Here is my latest purchase of heels:
