All Things Heeled...

So there I am; innocently milling about on the internet, as I do rather well, when out of nowhere - I fall in love.

It's an inexplicable, illogical, unrequited kind of love but it's real love and I'm in deep. 

And whom is the object of my affection, the apple of my eye, the fire in my loins I hear you ask?

These. 

These stunning Union Jack style heels, designed by the fantastic Nicholas Kirkwood and worn by Taylor Swift during the 2013 Victoria's Secret fashion show. 

Doesn't she look fabulous?

So to help me deal with my new found obsession, I did some research. I know I'm a little late to the party as the show was in November last year but hey, no one cool ever turns up early to a party, so I guess that makes me the epitome of cool. (Just let me have this!)

The gorgeous range of shoes were designed by Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster.  Sophia has been getting a lot of hype in recent years, and quite rightly.  She also designed these beauties for her new Fall 2014 collection:

You can see more of her awesome designs on Pinterest and here.

If, like me, you missed all of the hype of the Victoria's Secret show, I have found the best articles for highlights were written by Grazia and The Guardian.

So with my new obsession in full swing, imagine how excited I was to find out that the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held in London!  However, after doing some research I have discovered that unless I cure a disease or release a top ten album in the next few months, I'll never have enough money to go - which I don't really see happening in my near future... Damn.

Looks like I'll just have to maintain my addiction from behind my laptop screen.  But I can tell you one thing for sure, this is one party I definitely won't be showing up late to!

All Things... Shoes!

Growing up I was never really a girly-girl.  I lived in jeans, hoodies and trainers and my hair was always out of my face.  But after moving to uni and trying to find clothes worthy of nights out, as well as having the luxury of wearing whatever I want to class for the first time in my life, I've developed an obsession for clothes.  Term after term, my loan has melted away into a mound of heels, handbags, dresses, blazers, leggings... and the odd bottle of vodka.

A serious obsession has been developed over these last few years: for shoes.  Gone is the time that I lived in my black and white Chipie trainers until the sole had worn so thin that they couldn't be road worthy and my toe was edging out of a hole at the front.  

Nowadays I'm spoilt for choice between flats, wedges, heels, boots etc. 

I'm taking full advantage of my student discount to build my collection into something Anna Wintour would be proud of.

Here are some highlights of my 'Shoe Closet':

I'm off out to show off my new heels and admire other girl's.  Now that's the real reason I go clubbing! I will not rest until my shoe collection is as big as Kim Kardashian's!
