Barking, woofing monster. The grey sneakers are good - I wore them again today ... and maybe will tomorrow as well. I'm making up for lost time. How do you manage with such tiny feet? It's one of those things, I may be small but my feet are within regular sizing though I sometimes wish I had size 6 feet so I can fit in to mens shoes. They have such good designs with loafers and brogues. You would have to need serious padding to go up two sizes ... really THICK insoles! I can't imagine doing that. Yup - the cubicles.

It's the detailing and the finish isn't it? I had a look at the boots you're coveting and they're really nice but a little too heavy looking for me.

The last time I went shopping after buying a toy that switched on and off each time the darn thing slammed against the side of my bag, I was this close to just tossing it into the nearest bin.<br /><br />Those grey sneakers are so flattering on you! You chose the right pair. Good things come to those who wait :P As for those boots....O.M.G. I love. LOVE. LOVE. I've been thinking of getting a pair of either black Bobbys (yes, still on my mind despite the fact that they're 2 sizes too big. Think THICK insoles) or black ankle boots. I love anything by The Kooples. Yes, you're right. I totally don't get the all black, cubicle like fitting room that I can't even see the clothes I'm wearing.

Though maybe once you get all your christmas shopping done you'll have to pop back in. You know I have a huge weakness for The Kooples, despite the dressing room issue, I just love their whole aesthetic, outerwear most of all. I still look at my blazer and feel a surge of love.

I like those black suede ones too and it's ridiculous how expensive shoes are these days.<br /><br />All 3 of my kids are animal mad, well a little mad animals sometimes - especially my youngest who melts everytime she sees ANYTHING FLUFFY/FURRY WITH BIG BROWN EYES AND A WET NOSE. I have always told them as soon as they move out into their own house, they can have a zoo if they want since I will have nothing to do with poop or paw prints. Having 3 kids close together and under 3 years of age at one stage means I have done my share of cleaning up mess!<br /><br />Sorry to ramble - I really do hope Santa is listening to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-48350573838908847742012-12-11T12:33:45.947+00:002012-12-11T12:33:45.947+00:00I went in with resolve and no money.

Like I said to Helen, December is not my month for pressies to myself ... but if it was, those boots would probably be in the bag instead of a lookbook. They're over my wish mantra limit too which goes along the lines of "I shall not covet anything over £200!" But the temptation was great.
