Flip-flops just won't cut it..

OK so today I'm finding it somewhat depressing looking out the window.. what happened to our 'BBQ' summer!? Buttt if I'm completely honest, it has given me a perfect opportunity to share with you some photography from the Magazine Design assignment just passed.

I chose 'Festival Wellies' for my spring/summer comeback.. as with the festival season fast approaching, you'll need quality footwear to keep those toes dry!

The days of green wellies have long gone with the vibrantly coloured and highly patterned taking centre stage. Making a splash last winter, and continuing that trend into 2010 - those muddy fields will never look dull!

Here are some photo's from the shoot at Ashurst New Forest with my lovely models..








It almost makes you wish for rain.

From pain to perfection..

I can safely say I've had a fab first year at uni, but have come to the realisation that there's only so much partying you can endure before your purse and figure begin to suffer! I know I’m not alone in standing on those dreaded scales each Sunday night, fingers crossed Tuesdays chocolate indulgence hasn’t cost me too much in price, and pounds of course.

I’m not afraid to admit that I have an eating disorder.. I LOVE to eat!! After all, its only half a life without food.. however, this in mind, it can also be half a life WITH food as well. Hence my decision to re-join Fitness First today! Yes, thats right, i've got a four month contract and a rather yummy personal trainer to keep me motivated, and hopefully get me a little closer to that bikini bod!

It doesn’t help when we’re surrounded by celebs that make it look all too easy. For them, cosmetic surgery equals quick-fix, and a trip to a world-class surgeon is our equivalent of a visit to the local supermarket. Earlier today I looked at such surgery junkie celebs and found that for every successful before and after image, came a hideousness that can only be described as a serial surgery fuck up. In the words of Miss Moss ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,’ but if skinny means crash dieting, I’m screwed! It’s amazing how a number on the back of a dress can severely alter your sanity.

Nope, there's only one way to go about this, and have therefore given myself an ultimatum – remain a fatty, or get on a treadmill!

It’s true what they say, you always want what you can’t have.. I'll let you know how my session with Mr yummy goes :)

.. or should I say storm OUT in Stiletto’s

So I’ve finally got around to starting a blog after weeks of following other exciting posts. I suppose this is my way of sharing with you a few interests and thoughts of my own, be it in the fashion industry, or just day-to-day life.

You’re probably wondering about the title, and that can be easily explained. I’ve always been a shoe lover, particularly of ones I can’t walk in. YES, I’m the girl staggering home bare foot, heels in hand, at the end of the night.. but who says shoes are just to walk in! Yesterday I had the torture of selecting those few pairs that, well, I really will never wear again, and so they found there after life in a charity shop – there’s only so much wardrobe space for beauty once you’ve hit the 30 pair mark!

If the shoe fits.. enjoy :)
