Shoe of the Week #7

My shoe of the week is 'Miss Munroe' by Peeptoe shoes.

I bought these shoes while on a holiday in Melbourne last year. The first thing that caught my attention was the colour. It is very unique and goes well with the winter tones. It is also a great colour for summer, if you don't want to wear a black shoe as it can be quite harsh.

I wear a lot of black outfits to work and this is a great style to give my outfit a burst of colour without drawing all the attention away from the ensemble.

The classic pump is extremely versatile and goes well with everything. I've worn this style to work with dresses, skirts and pants. I can't get enough of them! The patent leather really dresses them up which makes it the perfect style to transform from day to night!

I like the toe box on this style as it is very unusual. It is not quite a pointed toe or round toe but something in-between.

I am a huge fan of stiletto heels, which means this style ticks that box. The 10cm heel is great for work as it is comfortable and I can last all day in them. And who can't go passed the signature purple Peeptoe soles? Amazing.

Two days after I made my purchase of these shoes, they went on sale for 50% off! I could have bought more shoes with the savings!

Shoe of the Week #6

My shoe of the week is 'Tiny' by Tony Bianco.

I bought these shoes as a birthday present for myself. Happy Birthday to me!

What I like most about this style is the versatility. The classic pump goes well with everything and it's a great style to transform from day to night.

I've worn this style to work under trousers and with shorts as a more casual outfit. I can't get enough of them! The ankle strap is also very feminine and will look great with summer skirts and dresses.

The colour is amazing and unlike any nude I have seen before. It will go well as a neutral accent to the colours of spring/summer and the warmth of the nude will complement your dark ensembles during winter.

Another major positive with this style is the height of the heel. The 12cm stiletto gives your legs great definition and really elongates your silhouette. For me, the higher the heel, the better and these definitely deliver!

The only flaw with this style is, the ankle straps are very rough and hard against the back of my legs, but nothing that cannot be rectified.

This style is quickly rising to the top of my favourites list!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Why do I love high heels so much?

Simple.
They make me feel confident.
They make me feel beautiful.

I am the youngest of three and have always had two other people fighting for the attention. This has made me a shy person and not very confident.

My demeanor instantly changes when I slip my feet into a pair of high heels. I stand tall, with my head held high and a smile on my face like a kid at Christmas time!

Something about high heels, can change a woman. For me, they make me graceful in the way I walk and the way I carry myself. They give me the confidence to interact with people. I feel like I can tackle whatever is thrown at me, if I have the right shoes. If I am having a fat day, I know my favourite shoes will always fit me. 

High heels can change an outfit. Even the dullest outfit can look stunning with the right shoes to complete it.

High heels do wonders for your body image. They extend your silhouette, define your calf muscles and make your legs appear slimmer. Who couldn't love this?

I love getting compliments on my shoes, it gives me a thrill when I know people are admiring my footwear. Nothing makes me happier than when I step out in my new shoes and people instantly notice.

My confidence continues to grow along with my shoe collection. As Marilyn Monroe once said, "give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." I couldn't agree more!

I caught up with a few people to find out what they love about shoes. Take a listen to what they had to say.
