new year, new beginnings. i believe in looking back at the year that has passed, perhaps seeing things in new perspective and setting new sights/targets for the new year. rather scarily, i've somehow acquired 23 pairs of shoes in 2009. at the beginning of 2010 i told myself this had to stop, and i should buy less, buy better.
how did i fare for 2010, here's a little summary:
how did i fare for 2010, here's a little summary:
the last pair of shoes i bought, the cheapest pair amongst all and the most frivolous: my h&m red suede slip ons.
the only pair of black shoes i bought all year: the northampton made joe casely-hayford for john lewis "mentor" oxford shoes. i can't wait to wear this to work. i have a little superstition: always a new pair of shoes for the first day back at work in the new year. the gorgeous shoes are also available online here.
the shearling lined christophe lemaire brown zipped boots. especially happy since mr lemaire himself noted in a recent interview that these are his favourites too. keeps my feet warm and toasty. the shoes are also available online here.
if i can have a personal favourite amongst all my shoes, it's the above rhinestones embellished christian louboutin trainers. yes, not for everyday wear but it will definitely cheer me up when i need a little lift. also available online here.
in a moment of madness, i bought the puma retro/cartoon sneakers. i thought it would be great for holidays, and at £20 how could i say no.
despite having lots of shoes, i still love the comfort and laid back style of converse shoes. loving the fall winter 2010 missoni x converse series. style and comfort can indeed go hand in hand.
the "greenest" pair of shoes i have: timberland "earthkeepers" boat shoes. made entirely from ecological, friendly and sustainable materials. great summer shoes.
the most lightweight and comfortable pair of shoes i bought in 2010: the dark brown lamb skin lace ups from hermes. amazingly sleek. seeing the orange soles, my colleague actually came up to me and asked "are you wearing hermes shoes?"
ahhhh.
ahhhh.
the second pair of hermes shoes i bought this year, was the above kangeroo skin nude colored lace ups. still in the box in a pristine condition, i look forward to wearing them on a suitable occasion.
one of my personal favourites: mr hare "capote". the embellished christian louboutin sneakers was my favourite this year, "capote" is a close second. oh love.
the blue suede pierre hardy desert boots. i have a thing for suede shoes, can you tell?
my first ever pair of christian louboutin shoes: the cream canvas "rantus" trainers. unfortunately i seem to have bought a size too small, feet will hurt if i stay out too long.
zara side zipped suede boots. i wore these on several 'dressed down fridays' at work. really like them.
missoni x converse from the first collaboration series. i actually got recognised by a reader (hey robin!) who saw the shoes on the blog, how amazing is that!
my first purchase in 2010: the brown suede lace ups from louis vuitton.
15 pairs of shoes i acquired in 2010, a marked improvement as compared to 2009. 2011's motto: buy less buy better. happy shoesday!
