In These Heels

Archive for the ‘Shoes’ Category

I get irked by things. A lot, it seems. So it was only fitting to have an entire label on my blog dedicated to things that get my back up. Todays is:

Yes River Island I am talking to you.

This morning, I felt a little under the weather, so when the River Island email popped up on my screen, I had a wee look at it, to cheer myself up. And that is when I saw them.

 Ignore, if you can, that rather nice LBD, and take a look at the shoes.  Fierce, strappy, studded, towering heel, they’ve got it all.  But can I get them? No. Admittedly River Island are selling some really fabulous shoes at the moment, and maybe these will be coming into stock soon, but then why show them on the email that they are presumably sending to thousands of shoe hungry ladies, like myself? Its like torture, physiological warfare, a conspiracy to get all the women of the land pining after a pair of shoes they cant have. In fact, I’m sure it must be against some advertising laws, they should state that the shoes are not available on their email.


So get it sorted,  River Island! You are selling loads of shoes, surely another pair must suit that dress too!! Stop showing me what I cant have!

Do you remember on Saturday how I was paying a little too much time on My-Wardrobe.com? Well it seems if you spend long enough on their website, enter a few numbers that you find on a plastic card in your purse, and then they will send you a really really big box!!

Inside the box, was a shopping bag, which is filled with cute little presents! they are nice, the people over at My-Wardrobe.

I purchased 4 pairs of Jonathan Aston tights, in black, smoke, teal and velvet purple. These are a great brand, relatively hard wearing, great colours, and a great price too, £5.50 on this website, but also found on loads of other sites. I also purchased the D&G butterfly, it was far too cute to pass on! and its even cuter in real life, made from 100% silk, it will flutter in the breeze!! I cant wait to try it out tomorrow.

And now for the shoes. I did mention that I’d solved my Red Shoe Shortage, and I dont do things by halves. I have also solved that I Dont Own Any Vivienne Westwood Shoes issue that I’ve had for a while. Ok, so they are Melissa, and they are Anglomania, but by heck they are fabulous!!!

So shiny, and pretty and strappy and fab! The perfect combination for a pair of heels. I only wish they had a slightly clawed toe, like some other of the Melissa for VW styles. I do own plainer Melissa heels, and although they are reasonably comfy, they do something odd to one of my right toes, which can hurt after a while, but I know its my feet to blame, and not the shoes!

Janine of Shoe Asylum has a pair with clawed toes, and she is also a huge fan of the Melissa rubber shoes. I’m sure she will be a tad green seeing these on my feet!! But she has Louboutins, so she wins
