Shoesday: Peppermint comes home

In last week's Shoesday post, I included a shoe called Peppermint from Wittner. While in my list of wants I included the delightful royal blue version, late last week the peach version followed me home, so I decided to keep them!

Wittner Shoes - Peppermint - Peach leather

These are going to be perfect for spring. The colour is on trend, but also very versatile. While they have a 9.5 cm heel, the chunky platform makes them feel almost flat! They are gorgeous, girly and comfy... and if the blue ones end up on sale, I can't guarantee that I won't buy them too!

Have you bought any spring shoes yet? What are you lusting after?

I am so looking forward to spring and the ability to break out some of my open-toed shoes again! What shoes are you loving at the moment?

Shoesday: Canary Yellow

It's Captain Punishment's* favourite colour, and I can't blame him. I'm pretty partial to a bit of bright canary yellow myself.



Please excuse the industrial chic carpet. I also promise that my ankles are actually quite dainty and not at all like the tree trunks they are choosing to resemble in this picture.

Canary yellow patents from Corelli. Purchased somewhere on sale a couple of years ago, they never fail to put a smile on my face when I wear them - and they always get compliments!

Statement shoes are a great way to lift a really basic outfit from the usual every day to just out of the fashion mag glamarama. Owning a few shoes in really bright or striking colours can help rework a wardrobe without breaking the bank, and is something I do often to get away with recycling some of my fancy dresses, or to hide the fact that I'm really in nothing more complex than jeans and a t-shirt.

Do you have statement shoes in your wardrobe? I'd love to hear about your favourite pair!

*Captain Punishment, as he is known, is my friend and my personal trainer. He's extremely strict during classes (talking back, making too much noise or grumbling gets the whole group extra work) and also on nutrition (ask me one day about the crash tackle with bonus crushing of Cheezels. I'm still too scared to touch them EVER), but he is extremely supportive and a wonderful friend as well as a trainer.

Shoesday: New Heights

I love a pair of heels... but I think this pair have taken things just that leetle bit too far...

These darlings are by Wittner and are the beautiful Suffix in black glitter and giraffe print. They're currently still on sale on the Wittner website - as are the leopard print variation. When I was looking at these, I read the words "3.5cm platform" and "12cm heel", but clearly I didn't process this properly. The real heel height is 15cm - the 3.5cm is pretty much added height, which made for a surprise when I received them, as I ordered them online.

I haven't been brave enough to wear these (or their leopard print cousins) yet. I get comments whenever I wear heels thanks to my height anyway, and these just take the biscuit. They're a good 3.5 cm taller than any heels I've worn.

Would you wear these darling shoes? What's the highest heel you have or would wear?
