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 [...]

Jeffery-West
Posted in inspiration, shoes, shopping on Jan 25th, 2010
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.)
These [...]
Mmmmm, boots.

It’s a good job I’m not a goth any more. Nor a costumer, nor simply a collector of amazing shoes.
Otherwise I’d have to buy these:
Probably in the black velvet.
(Available here, for £60. They’re by Pleaser.)
Seeing these has put me straight into the mood for wearing the most enormous skirt, and a tailored jacket or frock [...]
Desigual
Posted in inspiration, shopping on Sep 8th, 2009
I went shopping with my sister at the weekend. (Hi Jo!) I don’t go shopping very often these days, so it was great fun to go round all the department stores and see what’s in fashion at the moment.
I almost fell down with excitement when we wandered into a new concession in House of Fraser. [...]
Desert Boots.
Posted in inspiration, shoes, shopping on Sep 3rd, 2009
The boots in the picture are all from the Clarks Originals collection. I don’t think I ever owned a pair of desert boots. Wallabees were popular when I was a teenager, and I didn’t like those at all, so I think I went straight from school shoes to Dr Martens. I think my Dad might [...]
Well, okay, I’m not going back to school, but I am applying for jobs. Assuming I’m actually invited for any interviews, I thought I’d better go for something a little bit smarter than the shiny Dr Martens I was looking at the other week!
These are Hush Puppies, and I bought them online from Cloggs. I [...]
You may have gathered that this is my favourite time of year not because we’ve finally had a whole afternoon of unbroken sunshine - but because the new styles of winter boots are just starting to appear in the shops!
OH MY GOODNESS, PINK PATENT TARTAN DOC MARTENS. *faints with joy*
Mind you, I do already have [...]
To make the most of the fact that I happened to be off sick on the one day in the last fortnight when it wasn’t chucking it down with rain the entire time, I went for a very short walk with the camera - just down to the edge of the lake and back.
Paul’s taken [...]
Hurry up, winter!
Posted in inspiration, shoes, shopping on Jul 22nd, 2009
I never seem to have a great deal of luck with summer shoes. Every year I buy a pair that look as though they ought to be comfortable, and every year I end up with terrible blisters. I’ve pretty much given up hope of finding a pair of smart shoes that I can wear in [...]
Hooray, my new clogs have arrived!
Anne is right, and Walkley clogs don’t really have curved enough soles for dancing in.
But these were the only pair of clogs on Ebay, they happened to be in my size, and they were very cheap indeed. So these are the clogs that I’ll have to make do with, until [...]
