Shopping for Shoe Queens
When it comes to shoes, I go totally weak at the knees. I just love shoes so much, and whether they have a designer price tag, or are a bargain basement find, shoes are something I can’t resist buying. And I’m not the only one, with the global footwear industry annual revenue put at $52,175,000,000 – and I’m not even sure how you say that! For me, when it comes to womens shoes, the bigger the heel the better, although I do find that I have to have flat days now just to give my feet a break. This time of year is perfect for those who like shoes to…

October Outfits Post
October was a lovely busy month, and, as much as I hate the coming of Winter, October was also a fairly pleasant and mild month. I was able to still leave the tights off for most of the month so that was a bonus, and I avoided jeans as much as I could – another bonus. I was busy with some lovely events that gave me a few chances for dressing up, including my mom’s 60th birthday which we celebrated in a rather lovely Italian restaurant, and saw me nab that Topshop cold shoulder dress that I’d spotted, and fell in love with in the window of Outfit in West…

An Ankle Boots Wishlist
This week has been a bit of a milestone when it comes to the weather. This is the week I have dug out my opaque tights, and my ankle boots have come out of hibernation. It has felt distinctly Autumnal, with that sense that Winter is definitely on the way. The mornings have been crisp, the nights have been cold, there hasn’t been that much sunshine, even during the day, and boy, those days are getting shorter and shorter. So, you may be reaching for your ankle boots, or shopping for a new pair. The great thing about the current designs in ankle boots is that they really do compliment…
