What happens in Vegas...

When I think of Las Vegas, I think of shining lights, spectacular shows and amazing hotels. When it came to styling my #UltimateVegasOutfit it was natural for me to think of glamour, luxury and high heels!

I chose a classic, black jumpsuit from Zara for my Ultimate Vegas Outfit. It's classic, fun and easily dressed up for any event. It would be the perfect outfit to enjoy a romantic dinner at one of the amazing restaurants, followed by a spectacular show at the Bellagio fountains and to finish the night at a rooftop bar.

I styled my outfit with my favourite strappy high heels, because Vegas is about going over the top when you can! I added this suede fringe handbag by The White Company to give my outfit an edge and finally added my favourite statement jewels to add some luxury.

The 5 shoes I'll miss the most!

I am going travelling overseas soon and I have had to pick some of the more practical and versatile styles in my collection to come with me. Which means I have to leave some of the most amazing shoes behind.

So here are the 5 shoes I'll miss the most from my wardrobe:

1. My Christian Louboutin 'Fifi' heels will definitely be missed the most. Although, I haven't actually worn these yet, I still unpack them, just to look at them! I fell in love with the thin stiletto heels and the black spikes. They definitely wowed me! Read the full story of my Christian Louboutin heels here.

2. My Red 'Clairre' heels by Cosmoparis. This shoes were purchased in Paris back in 2011. I had been hunting for the perfect pair of red high heels. And I finally found them. I love adding a bold pop of colour all year round. I'll miss adding them to a simple, monochrome outfit. Check out the full story on 'Clairre' here.

3. My Nine West Sari sandals. These are definitely my weekend go to shoes. They are super comfortable, chic and feminine. Whenever I wear these shoes out, I always get people asking me where they are from. It is such a confidence booster when women admire my heels.

4. The newest member of my shoe collection, 'Foxi' by Tony Bianco. I love the 12cm high heels and the lace up front. They are amazing and perfect in every way. The black suede is comfortable and the pointed toe is super chic. The perfect heel for any occasion.

5. My wedge espadrilles by Witchery. I don't own many pairs of Witchery shoes but these ones are amazing. Whenever I look at these shoes, it makes me think of Summer, sand and sunshine. They look great with skirts, dresses and shorts.

What are your favourite shoes in your shoe collection?

In Her Shoes...

So it turns out, I have just as much fun behind the camera admiring other people's shoes, as I do showing off my own. So I thought, why not do it again.

And as I enjoy embarrassing my friend Jordan, I thought I would continue her story this week.

What do you love most about high heels? My favourite thing would be how they make you feel. Whenever I’m in heels I can feel how my posture is better and I feel like I can do anything! I always feel more positive about myself in heels!

What do you love most about these heels? My favourite thing about these heels is the colour. I have loved this particular shoe for a long time (in other colours) but as soon as it came out in the pink suede it was mine! This is me in a shoe.

What made you buy these shoes?
Like I mentioned before, it was definitely the colour that attracted me. I love suede in anything because its so comfortable, so when this particular make of shoe came out in hot pink suede I was in heaven. In terms of the style, the heel has always attracted me to this shoe. I love the heel placement how it goes straight down the back, and how its square. It’s not too thin, not too thick and it’s the perfect height for me.

Working part-time in a shoe store, you must see some crazy styles. What’s one shoe trend you would like to see disappear for good? One of the funny things you see in a shoe store is when customers come in wearing shoes that they have obviously pulled out from the archives. My particular pet hate, which I’d love to see never return are ridiculously pointy shoes from the 80’s/90’s. I love the current style of point that’s in fashion, like my pink ones, but some people need to learn to let go of the past, that’s not what we’re talking about when we say points are in fashion! But in the end, that’s just me!

Aside from working in a shoe store, you also work as a film editor, what inspired you to become a film editor?
I didn’t know until I started my degree that I wanted to be an editor. I’ve always had in interest in media, and when I met someone who had studied it, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Once I started making films at uni, I knew editing was my forte. I’ve always been good with computers and technical things, and I love the art behind being the editor and creating projects.

What’s your long term career aspiration?
My long-term career aspiration is definitely to be editing feature films. I love anything film related, but my real passion is in features. My life dream is to edit blockbuster films, and make it to the big screen!
What do you most enjoy about film editing?
My favourite thing about film editing is that I get to create a story from a collection of different shots. When you get all the footage, everything is a mess and there’s so much to go through. As an editor, you get to put all those shots together in a way that makes them something completely different. I love being able to tell a story visually, and I just love the technical side of it.

In Her Shoes...

During a recent photoshoot, my lovely photographer decided to show up, wearing a pair of boots which I have been coveting for the past 2 months. It inspired me to do something I've never done before...

I turned the camera onto her.

Meet Jordan, my photographer and film maker. And also my friend.

What inspired you to buy these boots?

I was originally inspired to buy these boots when I saw an almost identical pair at Stuart Weitzman. I absolutely loved the look of them with the leather front and elastic back because I’m not a huge black leather person, and it was just the right amount for a knee length boot. I told myself that if I ever found a similar pair for under $300 they would be mine! As soon as I found out Wittner made these, I went in and put them on layby (It was 40°C outside).

What do you love most about them?

My favourite things about these boots is how fitted they are. I bought my first ever pair of boots only last year, so I knew it was true love when my third ever pair of boots were knee-highs. They’re so slim fitting around the ankle (which is hard to find) and they go right up to the perfect height, just above the knee.

How do you style them?

My favourite way to style these boots is with black pants. I wear fitted black pants all the time and they just go perfectly with the leather. The black on black works really well and I find neither black gets washed out from the other. I’ve seen people wear them with skirts/dresses and stockings too which I will definitely try when it hits winter.

Are you a shoe lover like me?

Before working in a shoe store, absolutely not! I’ve always been a clothes person (and still am) but I’ve come a long way! I used to rotate between two or so pairs of flats, and really only had about three or four pairs of heels. Being exposed to good quality shoes really changed my wardrobe and style. Now I love shoes and almost buy them more than clothes. Unlike many shoe lovers, I don’t buy shoes if I already have something similar. I like to stick to the classics and then I have the odd colourful and more out there shoes.

How many shoes do you own?

11 pairs of flats, 12 pairs of heels and 3 pairs of boots.
Sounds like a lot when I wrote it down but some could definitely be thrown out!

If you could buy one pair of designer shoes, which ones would they be and why?

That’s a hard one! I’d have to say I’m not really into designer shoes, but before I bought my Wittner boots I would have said the Stuart Weiztman version! Now that I already have my dream boot…hmm maybe the beautiful blue Manolo’s from Sex and the City!

Sometimes you can take fashion inspiration from celebrities. socialites, bloggers and even people who surround you.

I have a confession to make... I'm a shoe addict! I have way too many shoes in my wardrobe already and I keep buying more! 

I would like you to meet the newest member of my shoe family, 'Foxi' by Tony Bianco.

I love everything about these shoes. The black suede is the perfect texture for the Winter season. The pointed toe adds femininity and elegance to any outfit. And the lace up front is super chic and adds an interesting detail to the shoes. 

And, I have to mention my love of the 12cm stiletto heels. I'm addicted to them! They are fierce and full of attitude. And it's the best way to fake runner's calves!

I love how much these shoes can dress up any outfit. They add elegance and class to your pencil skirts and dresses. But, they also look great with cropped jeans and trousers.

If you are ever feeling down, these shoes will be sure to lift you up!

It's true love.

It's a jungle out there...

And sometimes you need really good shoes to get you through it.

I was fortunate enough to buy these babies during a VIP day at Claremont shopping centre. I practically saved money buying them!

As soon as I saw them, I knew I needed to add them to my shoe collection. What I love most about these shoes is definitely the heels. The 12cm heel was way too tempting to leave them behind! I'm a sucker for tall stiletto heels.

And the zebra stripes make such a bold statement.

I love wearing these heels with neutral outfits or all black to make them really pop!

The classic style and shape, make these shoes versatile and easy to wear with anything! They look fabulous with jeans, dresses and skirts. What more can you want in a shoe?

Block it Out!

Have you got that one pair of shoes that you wear all the time? 

Well, these are my new favourites and I don't leave the house without them. I love the black and white print. The monochrome style makes them versatile and easy to match with any outfit. 

Meet 'Riley' by Senso, my new favourites.

I've been coveting these Senso shoes for a while now and I was lucky enough to receive them as a birthday present and I couldn't be happier.

What I love most about these shoes is the block heels. It makes them super comfortable and easy to wear, everyday. As much as I love stiletto heels, sometimes it's nice to have a pair of comfortable favourites to wear on days when you have sore feet.

And the lace up front, adds a nice little detail to the shoes.

There is nothing that these heels don't go with. I wear them with jeans, trousers, dresses and skirts.

These are such a versatile pair of heels which will be making many appearances into my daily outfits.

A little leopard never hurt nobody!

Everyone needs a little leopard in their wardrobe and the best way to add the fierce print to your collection is in the form of footwear. And my newest shoe love, is the Nine West 'Orion' boots!

Wearing: Cue top / Kookai pants / Tony Bianco pouch / Nine West boots

I love these boots for the little splash of leopard print at the heel. With an all black outfit, they add an interesting detail to your look and gives your outfit an edge.

As I have mentioned in so many posts, I love ankle boots. They are the easiest shoes to wear and the most comfortable to wear all day long. And, they look fabulous with almost everything.

So when I saw the Nine West Instagram feed and the beautiful Rebecca Judd styling these shoes, I knew immediately that I needed to add them to my already large ankle boot collection.

My reason for needing them was very much justified! In my ankle boot collection, I don't actually own a pair of flat ankle boots for everyday wear. I have stiletto heels, block heels, lace ups, wedge booties but no flat ones.

So this season, I made sure I had a pair!

And I love them!

I love styling these boots with jeans and black skinny pants and I love to add some feminine silhouettes to make the look more girly.

It's a rarity, to see me in flat shoes, but I think I have just found myself a pair of shoes, that I will be building my daily outfits around.
