Walk this way...

I know I have jumped on the Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots bandwagon about these about 20 years later than everyone else however, after seeing them on a few blogs/sites (namily lookbook), I really really want a pair.

I'm want either the first pair or the brown pair on the second lines. However considering I'm already 5ft10 do I really need a pair of shoes which claim to be 5" high (yes I know I wear 5" heels normally for a night out), yet actually look way higher.

I was going to elaborate on the above some more however I'm half asleep and I can't remember what I was going to say. Think my brain is getting ready for Easter holidays and 10 glorious days off work- roll on 11.30am Thursday.

Two random things-

I've found grey things in my cous cous salad which look like slugs- I feel physically sick.

Did you know Justin Bieber songs have hidden messages?

Oh the JC boots are £120 from Office (however they're sold out).

Magical Shrinking Feet...

I think the one good thing about getting older is the fact that my feet are shrinking- does that sound random? Yes it does. So anyone who knows me will tell you that shoes are not my thing. I hate shoe shopping, I'd rather spend my money on clothes/handbags, or actually waste it on rubbish than buy a pair of shoes.

I think many of you will probably be having some sort of fit for me saying that I hate shoes, but I do have good reason...

Being 5'10" and a size 9 feet, shoe shopping was pure torture- no shops used to have decent shoes in such a bigger size. Next used to be the place to go for heels. My going out wardrobe used to consist of one pair of black courts which would go with everything. Any shoes which I would buy would be black. However within the last 3-4 years my feet have been shrinking- look in my wardrobe, there is size 7, 8 and 9 shoes. I like to think that my feet are shrinking but to be honest I think its just the size of the shoes being made a bit bigger.

Oh how I wish my feet were a size 6 and dinky, but I suppose that would have caused far more damage to my bank balance. Thing is primark heels I can be a 7-8, New Look I'm an 8, Topshop size 8 for court shoes is too tight, a size 9 there is a good half an inch of space at the back- I don't think I'll ever win.

Anyway totally drifting off the point of the post... one dress.. what shoes do you prefer..as I can't find the coral Peacocks shoes anywhere (update on this later)

Topshop Cream Floral Dress £46

Loretta Bow Sandles £70 Topshop, Wooden T Bar Sabdles £29.99 New Look, Asos Pump It Up Suede Platform Courts £55, Brown Loafer Heels £24.99 New Look.  

Or my tranny shoe boots, as I like to call them??

Update on the Peacock shoes for anyone who was wanting them- just had an email from customer services and there is a problem with the shoe, hence a delay in delivery. They are unable to advise a specific date for when the shoes will be in stock.

These shoes are made for walkin...(help wanted)

For some strange reason, when I'm blow drying my hair I always read look magazine from cover to cover.. don't ask why, its become a habit. Sometimes I think Peacocks is very hit and miss when it comes to their clothes, JEM has a lush pair of shoes from there, but things I see in magazines normally are quite poor in the shop.

However these little beauties caught my eye last night..

I need these in my life!!!

Now I've already checked on the website and they aren't online- have any of you's seen these in your local shop??

I'm off to Fat Buddha tonight for food with me marra Laura xxx

Update 17th March- just had an email from customer services and there is a problem with the shoe, hence a delay in delivery. They are unable to advise a specific date for when the shoes will be in stock.

Christmas Party Week- Day 4- JEM is back

Hello peeps! JEM is back in action and raring to go!!


Ray and I once again have taken the pain out of the festive season and brought you the very best of the Christmas party wear from the comfort of your living room.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then I'll begin.

THE BEST OF…. Shoe Boots:

We are both a lover of the shoe-boot, as they are slightly warmer and a bit more sensible than strappy sandals:

Therefore, when I found these…

we agreed they are completely sexual - altho at £120 you might have to start sweet talking the other half for Christmas… from Miss KG (Kurt Geiger) - and Ray, I promise if I ever win the lottery I will get you these.

However, since neither of us MADE of money with it being Christmas, I have also found these:

£22 and £20 F+F at Tesco, A bit BLINGGGGG for £85 (down from £105) from Office, Red Suade Boots £16 Asda (bargain).

For those who don't want to wear towering skyscrapers:

£7 New Look, £85 from Office (wedges are so much more comfy than heels anyways), These, at £25 from Tesco are great for a slightly more informal do, maybe to go with a pair of skinny jeans for an afternoon session at the pub?

I have also found for you...

THE BEST OF… Court Shoes:

To make your LBD stand out a bit further, try a bright colour and matching fingernails:

Red Courts £15 Tesco, Although anyone who knows me will know I LOVE my nude Kurt Geiger courts.  These are very cute for £25 from Next, I know Ray's got her eyes on the Grey Suade Courts £20 from Next.

And these for something a bit jazzy:

£15.99 New Look, Kelly Osborne pink court shoes £36.00 from Dorothy Perkins

(part of the Breast Cancer Care promotion - £10 of the cost will go towards treating breast cancer).

And finally, although I don't recommend you wearing them in the snow:

THE BEST OF… Strappy Sandals:

£60 Lipsy, The Look Shoe £88 Office, £19.60 (sale) Dorothy Perkins, £40 Dorothy Perkins.

… and in the meantime, I will be sitting at home drinking the cocoa and wearing:

£13 Miss KG, £12.50 Asda

As there is no way I'm going out in this snow, I'm hibernating

… and laughing at you all freezing your butts off.  Enjoy!!!

Tomorrow- jackets and cover ups.

JEM's Shoe Porn...

Here's JEMs scheduled post for when she's away.. sunning herself... while its bloody freezing here...jealous me?? Totally!!! Anyway back to JEMs shoe porn...

I love me some Kurt Geiger.  I think he's probably the only other man for me, luckily my hubby doesn't mind sharing.

So... I was browsing, the other day, for some inspiration to get out of bed and wash my hair, and they are having a sale.  A silly sale.  A silly 'omfgit'ssofabulouslycheapIneedsixpairsNOWWWW' sort of sale.

Without further ado, I present my shopping list:

For £9, these are going in my work pile (also available in pink - oh you tease me.)

Now, I thought the sale was all about getting rid of stuff that was 'so last season'.  So, tell me - when will THESE go out of style?

And for £19, who really cares??

Again £19 - how cute!! 

I can just see these with skinny jeans on a Saturday shopping trip...

"I wanna pair of pink high heels" Sang Debbie Harry.  Well, so do we.  They might be a little OTT but honey, they're PINK HEELS - they're supposed to be...

£19 Carvela 'Glyn'

These literally made me want to lick the laptop screen (but hubby has banned me from such)

£29 Cavela 'Athena'.
Right, I need a cold shower after this.  And that's just the CHEAP STUFF girls!!!

I Need...

As you are reading this post- I should be sat in Nandos with my Treacle scoffing my face recovering from a days Christmas shopping with the Mother. Mmmmm Nandos.

Anyway here is something pretty for you to look at- if I win the lottery I will buy you a pair- pinky promise.

These bad boys are THE SEX!!!

Oh before I forget- me and JEM have a bottle of Barry M nail effects to giveaway. Watch this space chickadees.

Finally something nice with the initials KG....

Hands up there who thinks they've got the best husband/boyfriend/other half in the world?  All of you?
Well, I'm sorry.  I have some bad news… you're wrong.  It's mine.

The other week, on HIS birthday, hubby took me shopping and bought me a pair of Carvela court shoes in taupe, which it has to be said are the most beautiful shoes I have ever owned in my life.  (Don't worry, he got some presents too!).  They were on special as an end-of-season thing (I assume) but I strongly doubt that beige court shoes will EVER go out of style.  I am already planning the myriad of outfits that will be perfectly complement these gorgeous shoes!

And they make my legs look soooooo long and thin!!!  Oh, lovely lovely shoes.  Lovely lovely husband.

Whats your favourite pair of shoes??

Love JEM xxx

PS- the KG reference- Ray gives me the nod to go beat him up. Scummy boy. I don't condone violence however in this exception its needed haha.

Featuring.. LilyLipstick

I love Lily's blog- she's soo pretty and I love her individual style and her take on everything!! Anyway over to Lily...

Shoes Glorious Shoes.
For one post only, I'm taking over Who Is She. My name's Lily and I have my own blog LilyLipstick where I ramble mostly about make-up with the occasional fashion post and smoothie recipie thrown in. I'm a 23 year old London girl currently trying to cram in as much shopping as possible before my student discount expires. I love bargains, Starbucks coffee and indulging in my magazine addiction.

Today I'm going to talk about shoes. I don't think this love of mine has received enough recognition on my own blog so I thought it'd be a great guest post to do on Who Is She. It almost seems cliched as a girl to admit to loving shoes but er, I do. For three years I worked in the shoe department of John Lewis which definitely cermented my shoe addiction - being surrounded by pretty shoes all day meant that each month my paycheck was spent on a gorgeous pair that I'd spent the last few weeks admiring and trying on in the stockroom when my boss wasn't looking. The job is now almost a distant memory but I still have the shoes and the highly useful skill of being able to correctly guess someone's shoe size.

Now that my flip flops and sandals have been returned to the back of my wardrobe until May, it's time to think about winter shoes. I've out picked my 6 favourite pairs from the high street which should be enough to carry you through until the January sales.

Left - right, clockwise.

1. Kernal Boots - Office

These boots are just gorgeous. So warm and soft whilst being practical enough to withstand the lovely British weather. I'll be wearing these with jeggings or to toughen up floral dresses.

2. Buckle Shoes - New Look

I love New Look's shoe range, they have a great selection and the prices are amazing. These buckle flats will look great for day time and are smart enough for work on days when I don't want to wear heels.

3. Echinacea heels - KG by Kurt Geiger

KG is my favourite brand for "treat yourself" shoes. These red heels are just gorgeous. The giant platform will add a valuable few inches (I'm 5'1) while the bright colour will cheer me up just by seeing them in my wardrobe. They're £150, which is a little pricey but by the time the party season comes around they'll be lifesavers.
 4. Black Zip-Up Heels - M&S Limited Collection
I love M&S's Limited Collection shoes. They have an amazing range, look far more expensive than they actually are and come in half sizes which is unusual for a high street shoe. I love the zip and rather dangerous looking metal heel. And they're only £35.

5. Turquoise Frank Brogues - Office

Brogues are still big this winter and this Office pair are beautiful. I love the masculine design in such a vibrant colour. I'll wear these with black opaque tights and an all black outfit to make them standout.

6. Heeled lace-up boots - Schuh

Schuh always has something a little different. These heeled boots look tough but will give me extra height for daytime and for those days when you just HAVE to wear heels. I'll wear these with jumper dresses and to smarten up my giant parka jacket.

What shoes will you be wearing this winter?
