Who Likes Short Shorts?

This Summer I might actually invest in a pair of high waisted summer shorts. I haven’t really worn shorts since I was about 20 and spent most of the summer in a pair of denim cut offs and a pink halter neck convinced I was Daisy Duke. Since then my legs have stayed pretty much

5 Pairs of Sensible Party Shoes

I have a confession to make. I don’t really like flat shoes. I wear them a lot, because I don’t drive, and I live in a City and I walk everywhere. But I don’t really like them. When I take outfit photos in them I feel short and dumpy, which is why I often stand

The Practical Gold Shoes

I finally spent that ASOS voucher on gold shoes. I was extremely happy to note that when I claimed on my Facebook page that they were PRACTICAL gold shoes, not a single person disagreed with the concept that gold shoes could be a practical and sensible wardrobe addition. Well done Facebook Chicks. What I decided
