A Bit Of A Shoe Thing Going On

I am known for being a little obsessive with things.  If I see something that's out of stock, I go on a mission to locate it.  If I buy something, I usually continue buying along the same lines, my current two obsessions being shoes and red clothing!  I like items to inspire me.  Shoes are doing that at the moment.  Especially suede ones!  London Fashion Week didn't do anything to dampen my mood, there were so many.  Some I loved, some were just outright mad but I still loved them!  So much so I felt they deserved their own special post.

Shoes do seem to be like buses for me, I don't see any for ages (that I like), then I go months of seeing them all!  I'm trying hard to be rational, I have two new pairs (for regular readers, the Zara and LK Bennett ones) not worn as there hasn't been the occasion.  So I feel I really need to justify future purchases.  That being said, I LOVE suede shoes and there are so many colourful courts around.  But where would I wear them?  I think I will just have to try the Topshop ones on, pray they don't fit (usually the case when I lust after something for a while) but if they do, run away!

My affordable favourites at the moment, Topshop's 'Gwenda' £58

I love all the colours! 

LK Bennett at Bicester Village, £250 down to £165

Not suede I know but loved these from Ugg, again Bicester Village, £225 down to £110

Ending on a Summer note, I do like to buy out of season.  I've harped on about Timberland's Earthkeeper range before, the comfort is amazing.  Now, are these a step to far?  Granny or not?  I can't decide!  Originally £90, down to £44.99 now £19.99, bargain yes but only if they are worn!  Mmmm....

London Fashion Weekend

23-26 September 2010, Somerset House, London
Ok, so if you've not heard of this - where have you been all you fashionista's?!?! So no, you aren't actually going to London Fashion Week, but once it has finished, it's time for the general public to get a look in. New up & coming designers sell off samples or just their usual stock, add to this already well known brands (think Lola Rose, Billy Bag, Juicy Couture) all at discounted prices, and you are in for a very good day out! There's a chance to also get your hair and make-up done, along with sipping Champagne when you need a little rest! My sister and I have been to the last 2 and grabbed some amazing bargains, not to mention opened us up to new designers (love Pyrus!). We pay for the Gold ticket £34.50 which gets us entry, a goodybag (Lizzie Arden 8 hr lip balm in my sisters!) and a catwalk show for the following seasons main trends presented by Louise Roe (she's fab!). Best buy so far has to be our Luella bottle green snakeskin clutch for £40! Even the outlet shop at Bicester Village were selling at over £100! This time, Angel Jackson, French Sole (sooo grabing me some well made classic ballet pumps), House of Harlow 1960 & Winter Kate (Nicole Richie - wooohoooo!!) are all selling at the week-end. Am very excited!
