It's Shoesday again

I'm loving Shoesday! It's so much less pressure than the Shoe Challenge as I can just snap my tootsies with my iPhone not worrying about the state of the rest of me. My mag is going to press this week, actually, two of them are, so I'm dressed for comfort.

My trusty navy blue Converse All Stars
You gotta love a classic! See other people's Shoesday shoes here. Over and out.

Shoe challenges 12 & 13

At last I'm back on the horse! I had great plans to get these up on the blog and sent off to Shoeperwoman earlier in the week given that I actually completed them at the weekend but once again life got in the way. Not only have I been busy, busy, busy but I managed to get some horrible tummy bug just to make life complete. I still feel like the proverbial pile of pooh and shall be slinking off to bed as soon as I file this.

So, with this in mind and not to delay any further...

Number 12 - black patent Jessica Simpson slingbacks


Worn with an Alfani Petite dress from Macys in New York and a cardigan from Dunnes Stores. I wore these last Saturday for lunch out with the girls and just about managed to squeeze a photo out of husband number one. I really love these shoes - they can be dressed up or down and the round toe is really comfortable. They were also a bargain, purchased in Marshalls in downtown Chicago for $40! Get in!

Here's the close up

Number 13 –  Christian Louboutin black pallitiette Helmuts

Excuse the photo but I had to resort to an iPhone camera as the night had slipped away from me before I realised. These are simply gorgeous shoes and are worn here with a lovely green matt satin Maggy London Petite dress from Nordstrom with a shug from M&S Limited Collection. You can't really see the colours here so you'll just have to trust me. The handbag is a Star by Julian McDonald from Debenhams and it actually matches the tiny sequins on the shoes really closely.

Speaking of closely...

It's not the best photo - I probably should have used a macro to capture the details of the tiny sequins. They are really striking shoes. I think the cut is really eye catching; they are sexy without being strappy.

That's me for now.  Hopefully it won't take me another three weeks to complete another challenge!

Shoesday - short and sweet

Well, it's Shoesday so I'm back with a very short blog. I have actually completed two Shoeperwoman shoe challenges this week and hope to post them tomorrow but in the mean time here are today's shoes.

Another pair of flats and from the same shop as last week - Dunnes Stores. I think they are super cute and they are also comfy as. Bows and stripes what's not to love?
