Favorite Things - Shoes

So I've spent enough time talking about SP&B's time to move on to another subject - SHOES!!!

So during my course I saw a pair of Karen Millen shoes on sale and decided when I was done with the course I'd get the shoes. Well, after my little episode I was bent on going to get the shoes, as shoes always lifted my spirits. Only for me to get there and they didnt have my size, talk about depressing. Well, what did I do? Only what any other shoe-a-holic would do, I wrote down the addresses of the Karen Millen Stores in London and was going to go to each one until I found the shoes. That was the only store in Aberdeen and they werent available online. So once I got to London, with my notepad and my trusty tube map I started my search for the shoes. I'd gone to three stores without any luck when I got to the Karen Millen section of Selfridges. The lady there was really nice, they didnt have the shoes anymore but she went online to check who still had. There were two stores left but neither one of then picked up their phones. At this point I was ready to cry. Then the manager of one of the two store just happened to be there helping out there temporarily. She came up and said she was sure they had one pair left in her store and proceeded to call one of the girls there and guess what...yup...they were size 39. I was so excited I told her to tell them I'd be right there. She said I shouldnt rush that they'd hold it for me till the end of the day. Yeah right, like I'd wait any longer. I went over to the store and the lady there told me that she wasnt aware of any shoes being held, I almost collapsed. I insisted that I was there when the manager told them to hold the shoes. She went to the back to confirm and came out with the shoes. That had to be my happiest moment in 2010 maybe even in a long time.

You guys are probably rolling your eyes, like how could anyone go that far for shoes? Well, it all started with my first pair of heels that my mum got me when I was 5 or 6. The were black with white polka dot kitten heels with a bow in the front. I just loved the sound they made whenever I walked. I pretty much wore those shoes everywhere. That's how my love affair with shoes started. Now my outfits start with my shoes. Most people get the dress first, I get the shoes first. I like to get shoes that are different cos there's nothing worse than wearing the same shoes as someone else. I usually start with the heel, I like them embellished, different colours from the shoe. I have a lot of shoes but still need more for my collection. I want to be able to have a shoe for every outfit for every occasion. Just in case...lol...

So that's it, just incase you havent already guessed...I love shoes.
