shoes

I found these on (evil and beloved) Topshop last month. I'm not usually one for flat shoes, but I instantly fell in love - I would have bought them but I had no money and I wasn't 100% sure. Now that I am, and I can afford them, they've disappeared from the website. Wtf topshop. I'M SO LOYAL TO YOU.

They remind me an awful lot of The Swing by Fragonard - mostly just the tonal aspects (subtle blues, greens and nudes) and for that I find myself loving the classical feel to them. French Aristocrat perhaps? Maybe.

I live a lot in doc martens, and right now I'm so in the mood for something a bit more fresh and delicate. Blargh. I think I might console myself and purchase some floral ditsy tights instead tomorrow. I like the idea of white tights, but know me they'd be grey in an hour, so something patterned is a compromise!

I'll keep looking just in case every few days, but well. Psh. Bugger, blast and damn.

and the cats go Miu Miu

I'm actually a novice when it comes to designers/high fashion and what have you, but I'd like to think I know what I like when I see it. I can pick off a few names, but, you know, I'm basically a girl who lives in doc martens.

However, that being said last month I bought a pair of black wedges for £35 (!) off ebay, and although they're cheaply made (only really noticeable when you look up close) I'm in love with them.

It's not as if I can actually afford expensive shoes, but with the above lovelies in mind, I'm thinking of saving up to buy some Jeffry Campbell wedges.

Specifically these:

black clinic wedge

I've looked at other wedges (Ashish for Topshop, which is still on my wish list - the Zebra print mostly, because, well, black and white goes with everything. I'm not sure if I could pull off leopard print anyway).

So. I trawled eBay and fell in love with the JC wedges.

I just find them very aesthetically pleasing (she says, wondering why you wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that weren't) and I've wanted something more elegant as of late. That, and they have a sort of..erm...not clumpy, but something, element to them without distracting you from the overall shape.

I'll never stop loving my small (but growing) collection of DM's, however, but wantwantwant.
