Oh Shoes, You Crazy !








Shoes are my favourite sometimes, cause literally, they're a walking piece of art. And most of the time significantly cheaper than an original Monet or similiar. I'm rubbish at them tho. Buying shoes. Because sometimes I don't happen to be wearing socks or I forget my size (which ranges anywhere between a 4 and a 7) Can never walk in heels with everyone watching (one time, when I was buying prom shoes, I was all glittery and wibbly. Infront of the whole store)And the Schuh assistants are always awkward cause they stand over you while you undoe all the laces and put you foot in and walk around abit and feel all uncomfortable and pretend you remembered the right size and realise you're hobbling round the store on one foot with no socks (or replacement sock-tights where they always have holes in) and you forgot to paint your toenails and you mumble that they're fine, but in reality they're really not and you have to go buy them cause the assisstants work on commision or whatever so they'd be really pleased if you'd just spend 40 quid on the things so they'd get 10% trah lah lah, but as soon as you get home they're going to hide away in a cubpboard which is not what they were meant for cause some poor kid stitched the soles for 20pence an hour. (Anyone know any ethical shoe sites, pop 'em in my comment box, will you?) Mm.Feel bad about the rant, feel as if should be on Grumpy Old Women and make all my viewers cry. It's not 'that' bad at Shuh, I'm just really crap at shoe buying and dealing with other humans, so put the two together and ima disaster waiting to happen. My personal solution to these day-to-day quiffs is to bulk buy classroom pumps (size 4, £2.50) and live in those until they inevitably wear out from all the walking and prancing about. Only problem is I look about six years old, not nearly 20 and an Adult. And ask any guy, they probably won't say 'classroom pumps, you say? Excuse me while I undress..' So unfortunatley, am sexless being (which I don't mind, in all honesty, Ima tricky lady to be with, and if you aint Christopher Bailey, design director of Burberry Prorsum, you aint mine, kiddo.) with holes in le shoes, cause of my unreasonable phobia of shoe shopping. (and jean shopping, but that's another story)
So, ahem, long story short, pretty heels (for moi, anyway) are to be in a glass cage , admired at from afar. I shall buy them and sell ticket viewings.
The favourites being the Christian Loboutin pair (5th from the top), specially designed for the English National Ballet. Jealous much. Where are mine?
I know many people can't walk in shoes, but this is rather ridiculous. They're all glittery tho. I'd love to see a shot of a ballet dancer trotting about in those. Note to self, must take up ballet. End goal: walk in C.L shoes and be excellent.
2nd Fave are the Chanel Couture (2011) heels (bottom shot) with the lights. Did wonder how long it would take them to put some lights in a pair of heels. Cause they have them in kids trainers, don't they? Confession: I'd like to still be able to fit into those. It's no fun being 19.5 and not having lights on ballet flats and classroom pumps. Boo. But now they're on heels. Things are good again.
Am also loving the lucite (is that the material?) shoes (2nd from top) with the trapped ants and spiders. Don't know who designed them, but applauds and kudos to you, you creepy genious. Would be a bit mean for the ants and I'm not agrophobic or anything, but would scream like the six year old girl I secretly am if I wore heels with ma-hoo-sive tarantulas in. Even if they were make out of lucite.
Creative heels are also fun, like the Rodarte wooden ones and the leafy ones at the top. Sehr sehr funky. And the fourth from the top Vivienne Westwood shoes look like the snitch in Harry Potter, and any shoe Harry Potter inspired well deserves a mention.
The sparkly studded rainbow ones are also incred. snazzy, harr, harr. Not realy me, cause I dress like a six year old, but appropriate for the mini punk in everyone, perhaps.
But enough for now, my chickens, off t watch Made in Chelsea (how have I not heard about this until today??) and pretend to revise Syntax..
