Midas Touch

Shoes- Topshop- £60

Over the weekend I went to my friends Hen Night in Birmingham whom I am a bridesmaid for and well no trip to Brum is complete without going to the bullring. Once there obviously I had to go in Topshop whilst in there these beautiful shoes caught my eye.
It was the gold detailing that really caught my eye, I liked the fact that the shoes are actually quite simple but add the gold toe and buckle and it instantly makes these shoes a talking point. Trust me when I got them back to the hotel all the girls were oohing and ahhing in all the right places as I modelled these bad boys.
The heel is quite chunky and the platform makes them easy to walk in and very comfortable.
Obviously ankle straps aren't for everyone as they can make legs appear shorter but I'm 5"8 so don't really have to worry about that.
I'll post an outfit shot of these shoes when I get a chance.
The amount of wonderful shoes they have in Topshop at the moment is quite incredible I could have bought several pairs.
Has anyone else seen or purchased any of their shoes recently?
If so let me know and if you've blogged about them comment a link to your blog. I need more shoe porn in my life.

Red Sole

There's always one designer piece that EVERYONE covets, from a classic Chanel 2.55 Bag to a perfectly British Burberry Trench.

Now shoes come and go and of course most women would sell their Grandma's for some Jimmy Choo's or Manlo Blahnik's but in more recent years there's been a certain red sole that has captured women's hearts and become a lust have, synonymous with Hollywood Glamour and Splendour.

Getting inspiration from his assistant Christian Louboutin first painted the soles of his shoes red after seeing her painting her nails red and thought about using that in his line of shoes.

Ever since his shoes have been worn by everyone from Beyonce and Sarah Jessica Parker to Penelope Cruz and his gorgeous muse Blake Lively.

And it is because of his high status and long career that London Design Museum is holding an exhibition of the wonderful shoe designer that is Christian Louboutin, taking the public through personal archives of designs and drawings from original sketches all the way to production. All showcasing his career from apprentice to working with Chanel and YSL all the way to his own line in 1989.

Running from 28th March-July 1st, I for one am hoping to go and get me some serious shoe porn!
