I still can’t blog about the piece that I’m working on at the moment – it’s a wedding dress, and it needs to be kept secret for another couple of weeks!
In the meantime I will start as I men to go on, and talk to you about shoes.
Since I received the Handmade Shoes for Men
Such is the rarity of interesting formal shoes for men that when I saw Vic Reeves on Shooting Stars the other evening, I may have squealed out loud, and pointed at the television.
This was the best screen shot I was able to capture, but look at those lovely shoes!
The squealing was mostly because I thought they were pink, but on closer inspection I think they’re a tan/stone combination.
I’ve enjoyed the trend for women’s brogues over the past couple of years, but all the nicest ones seem to have towering heels that I just can’t wear.
My current favourites are from Top Shop – a pretty black and pink pair.
The pink’s a bit pale for my liking, but I’m sure a spot of bright pink shoe polish would soon sort that out!
Unfortunately, I already know that I won’t be buying a pair of these. The shape of my feet means that Oxford shoes don’t fit properly, and I really need to wear a Derby shoe instead.
A pair of black patent and fuschia pink suede wingtip brogue derby shoes would be my absolute ideal.
The chances of me ever being able to buy a pair of those is fairly slim, which is why I’m once again becoming obsessed with the idea of learning to make my own shoes!
