Every girl has that one special pair of shoes that haunts their dreams, right? That pair that you just can’t shake from your mind and can only ever dream of owning.
Meet my shoe. At £470 I really can only ever dream of owning this beauty (not to mention walk in it) but that won’t stop me hoping!
Available from Crisian and McCaffrey and Harvey Nichols.
What does your SHOE look like?

So, posts about shoes are frequent on my blog (there’s another one scheduled for later) but most of the shoes I share are only available to my UK and EU readers. In the spirit of the holidays, and of good shoes…I’ve taken a look at the Macy’s website and selected my favourites from their chic comfortable shoes, to see if I can tempt folks from overseas, too (you’ll either love me or hate me for doing this!)…or maybe even a lucky blog reader who is venturing to New York over Christmas might be tempted to pick up a treat or two…but please, I do not accept invoices for excess luggage charges!
1. Wedge ankle boots…because everyone needs a practical wedge in their shoe wardrobe, the neutral colour of these means they’ll be great with jeans (any one else hate black shoes with denim) or knitted dresses/skirts.
2. These buckle boots…purely because I love how they look, if I owned these I’d be wearing them with floral dresses for sure.
3. Red velvet. The ultimate festive footwear…seriously…it’s like a santa suit for your feet.
4. Nine West…Pink + Glitter = I say no more. Oh, actually I do say more…Nine West we can get over here, right? I am so hoping these are available. IN LOVE.
5. Jessica Simpson…I’m not a fan of hers, but damn she makes good shoes…mostly. These appeal a lot, and I don’t even know why as it’s not the kind of thing I naturally veer towards…they look quite “clean cut” though and oddly like they’d be quite comfortable.
So, USA folk…what am I missing out on? Any one else want me to scour some sites for shoes local to you? Do you think this is the kind of post I could, or should do on a regular basis? If so, any suggestions for what you would like to see?

There is a certain appeal about La Senza. Ask anyone where they head to on the high street for fancy underwear and 99% of the time, that’s the first place that gets mentioned. This week, I had an e-mail showing their offerings for the festive season, and this further cements my point…whether it’s a cute gift your looking for, or perhaps some cosy slippers or a fancy bra…La Senza has it all.

And, for those who don’t know…a little about Boticca:
The marketplace is curated and edited by a team of fashion experts, designers, stylists, editors, bloggers and collectors, who illustrate the culture, stories and inspiration behind the collections on the site.
Boticca was born out of an inspired moment when one of our founders discovered a rare find in the bustling Medina of Marrakesh, and realised that such unique design talent was almost impossible to find.
So we created a website that makes it easier and more enjoyable for customers to discover high-quality, distinct jewelry, bags and accessories with a meaningful story.
Our team scours the world looking for the very best emerging designers and puts them all in one place, so that everyone can experience the joy of that rare find and discover the unique stories of these fascinating people and their pieces.”

This is not a sponsored post, I’ve heard a lot about Boticca lately and wanted to share.

So far, this is probably one of the warmest outfits I’ve come up with. I seem to have worn this skirt to death since buying it (the best £5 I’ve ever spent). Having been off work when the cold weather started it was hard to gauge just how many layers were needed…thankfully it was an admin day for me, so I could test the waters with a more casual approach; and typical for our multi-sited practise, one site was freezing and the other really quite warm!
I’m so glad it’s Thursday, I’ve woken up with a chesty cough and painful sinuses…add to that an all round grumpy mood and it is probably best for everyone that the weekend is almost here. I don’t know what on earth is up with me this week; one second I am a-ok, and the next on the verge of tears or tantrum. Anyone else get like that? How do you cope?
Well,
best go get some breakfast in me. I have a feeling it’s going to be a LONG day!
