Final Chapter: ASOS Curve Wiggle Dress

Do not think this is an old post creeping into your reading list, it's new honest!  If you've been following the escapades of this floral dress, then you'll know that I've already unsuccessfully tried two and here is my third (time lucky) attempt!

Debenhams Shoe Challenge*

Image
Following on from my AW13 shoe trends post , Debenhams sent me the stunning ' Mullner ' polka dot shoes from Madonna's Truth Or Dare range and asked how I'd style them. I've based my looks around the 'ladylike' trend, playing up their elegant shape and having fun with the polka dots. Firstly a little word about the shoes themselves, since I know you like to know these details and a couple of you had shown interest in purchasing them from my last post. The UK 5/38 are marked a US 7.5 (being an American brand) and fit true to size. At first I thought they were a little overpriced and possibly more than I'd pay for a shoe of this type, however when I slipped them on, I realised they are a very well made shoe. The heel is 4 3/4" with a tiny 7mm diameter heel tip. There's also a very small platform, probably around 1/4". Despite the high heel and small tip, they are very easy to walk in and that small platform really cushions your foot ...

McQueen vs Irregular Choice

It's Easter time and I just love all the pretty pastel colours that around just now. Yesterday I wore this dress (shown in the background), which remains my favourite ever item from the Be Beau range at Matalan . The beautiful Monet style print always makes me smile and I couldn't decide which shoes to wear with it. It was between these outrageously cute Irregular Choice boots or mint green Alexander McQueen courts. If you follow The Shoe Girl Diaries , you'll know I picked the boots. I thought they were more practical for the still slightly colder weather. I took some pics of both shoes because they are just so stunning. The reason I love the latest Irregular Choice collection so much is because it harks back to the older styles like these boots that I adored. Just look a t the detailing of the little gems stitched on and the inside with my favourite print, the pink poodles. Nobody else makes footwear like this!
