Shoe Haul (Topshop & Kurt Geiger)

I never got the chance to show you my recent shoe buys.  Remember I placed an order with Topshop before Christmas?  I buckled and bought the Louboutin alike pair as a treat and by luck noticed the Lillie cherry platforms that I'd spoken about before had gone into the sale.  At the time they were full price, they'd sold out in my size, so it was surprising to find the red velvet in a 38 and the black in a 39 available for me to buy.  Just as well I got them when I did, as they disappeared in all sizes before the Topshop sale officially started.  I used next day delivery so I'd get them in time for Christmas and got an email to say there was a "delay"  but thankfully they arrived the next day, Christmas Eve and I wore them immediately!  You can see me in the black pair here and on Christmas Day in the red .  Both are extremely gorgeous although some might argue I didn't *need* them both, I certainly didn't plan on buying the red or either actuall...

I hope you all had a wonderful time over Christmas-just the dreaded New Year to go (have a strange hatred of Hogmanay). I had a great time with my family, we went to my sisters house with all my nephews running around like mad things. I overdid it though as I ended up sick on Tuesday, literally. Well almost...if ever there were an award for the sickest person who manages not to throw up, I'd win! I think it's because I haven't been sick since I was a kid, so I just imagine it to be really horrid and will do anything to talk myself out of it (not that anyone actually enjoys being sick, but I really can't stand it). I had this friend though, who would get really drunk, feel sick, go to the bathroom, throw up then come out and get back into the party! I would feel like crap and be willing myself not to spew, in turn probably making things worse for myself, as I was the other night...sitting on the cold bathroom floor, head down the toilet, hand over my mouth refusi...
