Pink Haired Princess

*update 16th March 2012* Kandee contacted me immediately after this post was published.  We emailed back and forth for a couple of weeks.  They felt some of the points I raised in this article were misleading to potential customers and were very surprised that I hadn't notified them of these issues before now.  Finally last week, I received a phone call to go into detail of my issues with the Jezebel booties.  Kandee maintain a portion of the Jezebel boots were made with faulty zips and these were either recalled or the unsold were reduced considerably (to around £50).  The rest of the stock were made with zips in working order and this is where my second pair of boots came from, that I wrote about in this post.  The zips were not faulty.   Kandee felt they had to be objective and could not take into account my past history with the company through all the shoes I've purchased and blog posts I've written.  Quite rightly not everyone has a 'vo...

I've been feeling a bit sluggish and uninspired this week. I didn't start the year with any major resolutions, but I feel there's things in my head that I'd like to achieve that are difficult to write down as actual points or specific things, if that makes any sense? Then it gets me thinking and I can't concentrate for trying to pin down what I'm thinking about, vicious circle!  Every year I want my blogs to be 'bigger' and better than the year before and I feel I've finally got the layout exactly as I'd like it but then other things are missing. I wish I had more time for the social media side of things for example, like commenting on other blogs, forums and facebook etc, but I struggle to find the time for full time blog posts never mind that. I've been doing this since 2008 and feel I haven't quite reached to where I want to be....*thinks*....it's a tough one, it's hard to strive for something that can basically be down to a...

I've been regularly selling on eBay over the past couple of years and although I don't find the experience 100% positive (I'm not a fan of the fees both eBay and Paypal take off (it usually means you don't make a profit) and buyers can really muck you around and as a seller there's not all that much you can do about it), however I do enjoy it...well maybe that's not the correct term. It 'works for me', most of the time. As you know, I buy a lot of shoes, more than the average person and my tastes can change, so it's a great opportunity for me to make a little money on items that would usually be chucked in a bag and given to the charity shop. It's not that I don't like giving it to charity, but I would feel really guilty giving away shoes that had been barely or not worn at all, which the shop would more than likely completely under-value. I still regularly make donations to local charity shops and anything that is too worn simply goes i...

Hello peeps! I've not had much time to blog recently which is unfortunate-things have just been mega busy. I'm still trying to get caught up on The Shoe Girl Diaries posts and you'll find a new one over there just now. It's also looking likely I'll be re-listing (and finding more items) for eBay this weekend-so I'll be occupied with that. I wanted to give you a heads up on a fabulous 50% off sale at Kandee . You know I always champion the brand and this is the perfect time to pick up some new season stock at reduced prices. Here's me looking rather chipper with my Glace Cherry's. Now I may or may not have indulged 'a little' (ahem 'a lot') this morning too! Hurry though, things are going fast and the sale ends tomorrow (at midnight I believe). Mwah!

Here's a declaration of my love for Kandee shoes (you've no idea how many attempts it took to replicate a heart!). Click the image above to read my little poem! I really am genuinely excited by this brand. As someone who obviously has a passion for shoes and with the huge collection I have, it takes a pretty powerful brand to move or impress me and Kandee definitely do that. I like my shoes to reflect my character and be a little out there and fun, sexy and cute, colourful and inspiring, uplifting, dreamy and even exhilarating! I feel like that every time I see an image of their shoes and I can't wait to see what creator Josh Wayman comes up with next-it's like he's sitting inside my candy coloured head picking out all my favourite things and making them into adorable decorations for my feet! Absolute "dream shoes"! Kandee really make you feel like a part of the company too, rather than just an anonymous shoe purchaser and I've dealt with their cus...

Finally, I get around to showing you the gorgeous, the wonderful, the sensational...Diamonds by Kandee shoes. Hot stuff! The Peanut Crunch , Glace Cherry and Cult handbag are all now available for pre-orders on the site as I mentioned the other day. Enjoy!
