Today I’m showcasing one of my all time fav bloggers, Anthea from Embracing Style. I love her because she is not a designer or a fashion writer just this really cool chick who loves fashion and knows what she’s talking about.
Here is what she had to say:

“Is it time to go home yet? I keep clicking these damn shoes, but nothing happens”
Robin Hecht quotes
“I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.”

So for today’s shoeday I’m doing things a little bit different. Instead of shoes I’d love to own I’m showcasing shoes you’d have to pay me to wear. Seriously if you are thinking of buying me a gift this is the “dont do it list”. I guess these shoes prob have their place in the world and I’m fine with that as long as that place is not my feet… 😉

So years ago I got a job at a radio station (something I always wanted to do and hope to do again some time) and while working there this stunning, sweetheart of a person, Claire Arthur, kinda took me under her wing and showed me the ropes and didnt even get upset when I tripped over these ropes 🙂
Well Claire has always had the best taste in shoes and so it’s only natural that I asked her to share her views on here. (You can catch her on Kingfisher FM these days)
1. You are:
Clair Arthur
2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
34 (when I buy a pair I try and give a pair away)
3. Why do you think a great pair of shoes has such an effect on women?
Girls like pretty things. We want to be pretty, feel pretty and be seen as pretty. Gorgeous shoes are just an addition to help us get closer to that little pretty girl inside… well that’s how I feel anyway 😉
4. Which shoe are you still searching for?
I don’t go looking for shoes – they come looking for me 😉 ha ha.. just kidding. But seriously I don’t really know what I want until I see it and then once ive tried the shoe on it is all mine!! Then I go home and make it work…
5. Which shoe can’t you believe you actually wore:
I lived in London for a few years and there was this Chinese owned shoe shop on Oxford street that I once visited (ok maybe I visited it more than once). The shoes were so cheap and gorgeous. They had every color boot you can think of (I rather buy many cheap things than one expensive thing – can’t help it – its just how I tick) Anyway I bought a few pairs. A purple pair, green, white and 2 brown pairs. I knew that they wouldn’t last long but while I wore them id feel great. (well almost great) the one day I was walking down the road with the white pair of boots on and my heel got stuck in a drain – long story short – the heel stayed and the boot carried on with me. Limping along it didn’t take long for my trained eye to spot a shoe shop – I pranced straight into the shop and 2 minutes later I was back on the street with another wonderful cheap pair of boots (this pair didn’t have a heel) 😉

Two points today
Number 1.
I’m having trouble tracking down fashionistas to show off their shoes so I’ll post it as soon as they can pick their favourites (it’s hard to do, I know)
Number 2.
I’m ready for it to be summer now and in honour of the summer that once was and soon will be, here are some flat sandals I’d love to get into soon. (Funny cos usually I’m not a sandal person)
