In These Heels

Archive for the ‘Shopping’ Category

I went in search of the KG Minney heels, but it seems they only stock Miss KG in Debenhams, and online, and not in House of Fraser, or Kurt Geiger stores! Which is a bit silly, really, cos I hate Debenhams, and then didn’t go to try them on.
But my heart was stolen just a day later, by the Jessica Simpson heels in the Polyvore set below. Amazing chunky heels, they just SCREAM out to me.

And they scream loud, because they are sitting in a box right beside me and I haven’t got a chance to open it yet!! Literally going to explode if I don’t get them on my feet soon!

After an entire day of searching, trawling internet shops, and fighting through the masses of tacky prom dresses, I finally found her. My ideal dress. Shes just a little bit fabulous. Everyone, I would like you to meet Audrey.

Watch the catwalk video for more loveliness. Forever Unique Audrey Hepburn print dress, from ASOS. £65. AND NOT IN MY SIZE!!!!!

*thud*

Oh if only I wasnt completely skint! I dont know if I can hold off for birthday money to buy these shoes, I will be in the Kurt Geiger shop on 13th August, a whole 2 WEEKS before my birthday! Not fair.

Buy Miss KG Minnie heels here. Also in purple and black.

I’ve been ebaying
M&S Heels, 99p, thank you very much!

Again, 99p, Primark Gucci-esque heels that never made it to my local store.

Finally, Topshop Unique heels. £38 on ebay, still with the stickers saying £115 original price.  I am undecided on them, especially what to wear with them!

ASOS

I love it. Best online shop ever, hands down. I spend so much time on it, if it was a real shop I would actually live in it. Sleeping bag, in the changing room, that would be me.

I have just ordered this, with free delivery, free returns, and £5 off cos I bought a tin of Diet Coke (may be NI/ROI only, please check).

The dress is available in regular and petite sizes both £55, and the ears hairband only £8, or £3 if you use the discount code and free super saver delivery!! Bargain of the century right there.

Hope to wear the dress to the day at the races in June, or perhaps the ears with an alternative dress. I still have my wedding fascinator  that I would love to wear again, though its white, I might investigate spraying it another colour…..!

These dresses from ASOS are so much fun!! I love them! And they are called Wiggle dresses, entirely apt I’m sure you will agree if you watch the catwalk videos.

The Floral dress is £40 and the plain one, available in coral or black is £55. But I have to ask, how would you sit down in them??

Also on the site, a similar one shouldered style for £40, with the ruffle as the strap rather than round the hem, which would be easier to wear, although you could not wear a jacket over it!

Why?!

Why do heels as unbelievable as these have to cost £1,000+? Come on Primark, I’ve seen your Louboutin attempts, the studded Burberry-esque sandals and all the other rip-offs that you do (some of which are actually ok!) so please please make these Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte the next designer heels you take ‘inspiration’ from. Please?

These heels astound me. Industrial, futuristic, animalistic, they are Terminator in shoe form. The ultimate in biker-chick style, they ooze attitude.

This is love.

The amazing Shoeperwoman alerted me to these beauties. I shall have to invite her to the wedding as a thank you for introducing us! She would be the only person invited who would stand a chance at showing me up in the shoe stakes

I’m still boycotting H&M. I won’t be able to get over the Choo Thing in a hurry. But I am having my heart-strings tugged so badly by these 2 dresses from their Garden Collection.

I think they both retail for £15 which is really hard to believe, and really hard to resist.

If someone else were to buy the dresses in a size 8, and they didn’t fit them, I would be a real friend and, you know, buy the dresses from them….. any takers?
