Dear Daffodils: shoes

Golden Shoes

The other day I went for a winter walk, which I thought was a great idea to get some fresh air and to walk off all that chocolate I ate over Christmas, but it rained and it rained. All day. Never the less, I had a great day with my boyfriend and got to show off my new shoes.


I have wanted some brogues for ages as I really believe they're a timeless classic and last year my sister bought a pair like these and I immediately fell in love with them! Through my sister purchasing Grenson, I found my golden ones and I knew I had to have a  pair and bought them with my Christmas money.


They're so different and I think that's why I like them so much, I haven't seen many other metallic brogues around. The rubber wedge sole on them is quite thick and makes me about an inch taller. At least I know I'm not going to wear any holes in them anytime soon.


I must admit that I am a bit of a magpie and I'm attracted to anything that sparkles. These are so shiny you can see your reflection! At least my Granddad can't say I'm scruffy anymore (not that I ever was).


I'm really pleased that I got these shoes from Grenson! They were quite expensive for my pocket, but the quality of them is excellent and these will last me for a long time and you must always treat yourself to something luxurious once in a while.

Please let me know what you think. Are you a fan of them? Do you own a pair of brogues yourself?

I hope everyone's 2014 started off well.

Kitty Flats and Knockoffs!

I'm sure we're all aware of Charlotte Olympia's gorgeous shoes! I'm especially in love with her kitty flats. I'd love to have a pair, but at £465 a pair... It's a bit out of my price range! That's why I've been on the lookout for alternatives!

£495? I best save up my pennies up.
Clockwise - 1. Brave Store, 2. Chic Wish, 3. ModCloth, 4. Topshop.
I think that 2. is the best match! These are $42.42, so not very expensive either. The only problem I am having is finding shoes in my size. I'm a UK size 8 in shoes so that's quite big (but not uncommon). Let me know if you know anywhere else which has kitty shoes in my size!

What do you think of this cat fad? Which are your favourite shoes featured? Finally, do you know any other knock-off kitty flats which are as good as these?

Just leave me a comment below! ♥
