Tuesday, Shoes Day

I had a conversation with someone at work today about shoes and I mentioned that when I was little one of my favourite things was getting new school shoes at the beginning of term. I loved shoes so much that I even sabotaged a pair id only had for a few weeks so I could get a new pair because I decided that I didnt like them any more! I wonder if my mum knows that?

I think my shoe obsession is in my genes, both my grandmas worked in shoe shops when they were young ladies and I have a very distant relative (according to my family tree) who was a shoe maker so I really cant help the fact that I LOVE SHOES!

I love heals but you with very rarely see me wearing them since im already pretty tall and I dont like feeling like a giant, I just think that sometimes heals are just to pretty and painful to wear.

When I was 13 I saw a pair of shoes in a shop called "Shoe City" looking back now they were hideous, they were blue trainers with a massive rubber wedge on them and the logo of the shoe make looked like a sperm/tadpole but everytime I went to the mall I would head to shoe city and try them on until my parents came and found me and told me to put them back and stop running off!!
I eventually got the shoes after much persistance (my dads a right push over) and wore them for about a year with EVERYTHING even if they didnt match, I was obsessed!! Recently i've been on the hunt for some black smart flats I can wear for work but ive become pretty picky and I just havent found that pair that i've fallen in love with yet! (Anyone would think I was buying a house, I am fully aware they are JUST shoes!)

Here are some of my favourite sites to shoe shop on, some are far too expensive and I would never buy them but I love to browse anyway!!
