easily distracted by shiny things…

At the end of December I received an email that I just couldn’t resist – a message about the Jeffery~West sale. I went to their website, just to have a look, you understand, and discovered that the Rochester Rafael boots were now half price. Even better – there were several colours left in my size! After [...]
My new shoes are so obscenely cute, they make me laugh every time I look at my feet. Last year I went back to my favourite choir. For the Christmas concert, which required formalwear, I bought an ankle length black dress. Unfortunately my only pair of plain black shoes were flat, and my dress dragged [...]
Aren’t these just the most adorably cute shoes you’ve ever seen? Sadly they’ll never be mine, as they’re only available in UK sizes 9-13. Amber & Jade specialise in women’s shoes for larger feet. They also come in two different width fittings, because longer feet aren’t necessarily wider feet too. There are around 40 different [...]
I started making these trousers back in March, when I started my new job. Then I decided I didn’t like them, and they went on The Pile. Last weekend I was going to a party, and I wanted to wear my Jeffery~West shoes, so I thought it was about time I finished off the trousers [...]
Jeffery~West have done it again. I only went to their website to see whether there was anything left in the sale that was a) in my size and b) purple. (Sadly not, on both counts.) And then I thought I’d just have a little look to see whether there was anything new… which is when [...]
A friend on Facebook alerted me to the fact that Converse currently have a Dr Seuss collection! I’m terribly disappointed that the “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish” designs are only available on kids’ shoes. I’d love a pair of these!
Sorry the weather’s so bad. I’ve never known a colder, wetter and windier May! It’s all my fault though. Last week I bought sun cream, and a new pair of sandals. Sorry about that.
So, the weather’s just starting to get to the point where it might be warm enough to take off my Doc Martens, and start looking for some pretty shoes for the summer. A colleague came into work today wearing a pair of these. I was very well behaved, and didn’t wrestle her to the ground [...]
Yesterday I went into London, to visit the Foale & Tuffin exhibition at the Fashion & Textile Museum with a friend. Afterwards I had a few hours to spare until I was due to meet another friend for tea, so I’d planned to spend the afternoon looking at the Relics of Old London exhibition at [...]

My friend Patrick is a Very Bad Influence. We were talking about shoes, and he pointed me in the direction of Jeffery-West. Now we’re both coveting beautiful shoes that we can’t afford – and they aren’t even made in my size! (And I still haven’t saved up enough money to go on a shoemaking course.) [...]
