River Island Never Fails to Please Me

While growing up, I realised very early on that my mother had a thing about shoes. It was very subtle. She quietly BOUGHT SHOES almost acting like they were just growing in greenhouse - shoes just appeared like a new flower. She had high heels, stiletto's, platforms, pumps, flats, mules, boots, sling backs and vibrant eye-catchers.

My mother's love for shoes transferred to me. I've been blessed/cursed with the shoe-bug. Good thing my mother didn't love crack! I'd probably be in an alley right now, doing things I ought not to do in the cold light of day for a rock!

Charlotte Olympia

I love these shoes, I just wish they were £450 cheaper. I need to buy a new washing machine and vacuum cleaner and I just can't justify expensive shoes when I have clothes and carpet to keep clean!

I guess I'd better put my name down on the over-time list at work.

River Island

River Island don't make shoes for the faint-hearted! They're really in tune with the theatrical shoe lover who wants to make a statement.

Their shoe designs don't play with half measures. The shoes are normally ultra feminine with a keen eye for detail. The prices also don't cut you like a knife, they just sting a little bit... like an injection.

The red suede shoes even have leopard-print piping around the in-sole.

Fabulous!

Mute Colours at Office and Topshop

Every now and then you might find a pair of shoes that are so far out that they're only good to look at, but they're not that comfortable to wear.

On this occasion, I found that the Topshop ASTRO Sporty Lace-Up Boots were very comfortable indeed. I tried them on in the store and not only were they comfortable, but they looked good in a pair of denim shorts so I had no choice but to buy them.

I might be singing a different tune when I've been wearing them all day or or all night as the case may be. So try them, (or their Office cousin) you just might like them too!
