The "Hello Lover" 7 shoes Award





I have been bestowed the honour of being awarded the "hello lover" award from the darling fortynotout another shoe fiend like so many of us lurking around the blogsphere!  This is turning into a truly wonderful award as I have been transfixed by the gorgeous footwear of the bloggers who have already posted up their seven shoes.
I bought so many new pairs of shoes last year, some of which I have to show you again, but I am bringing out some old and trusty,friendly footwear that you won't have seen before



First up my flat gold pumps by Jimmy Choo, currently the school run footwear of choice.  Not the first pair of Jimmy Choo flats I have owned, I love them because of the non slip soles which means you never have to worry about getting caught in a downpour in a Choo pump!  The gold plate on the heel is their "USP" in my book, I just can't resist and everybody knows where they came from, so don't have to ask you! A few years old now, but still going strong.  I seem to have mislaid their box so they are sitting on another, so many shoe box's in this house, we had a clear out of empty ones the other week, so I fear OH may have recycled it! http://www.jimmychoo.com/


I had to chuck in a bit of animal print for you leopard lovers.  These are from Karen Millen, are years old but are still in great condition.  The uppers are ponyskin and remain immaculate. Karen Millen
iconaren't cheap for High Street shoes but they do last, so are worth every penny and they always have a few pairs in their range that are leopard or zebra.

Like so many of my shoes, I haven't worn these yet.  I bought these Castaner
icon wedges from Matches last summer in the sale, were £108 reduced to £38, what a bargain!  Castaner are a Spanish footwear brand (i think) but these are pretty classic summer wedges and have done similar styles this season (there is a rather nice pair in gold) which will get worn at some stage, if I can ever get the next pair off my feet....


Ah, the loves of my life, sounds mad, but I adore these champagne coloured gladiators from Moda in Pelle, I also have them in brown which are three years old and these are two.  So popular that the company still do them and bring out new colours each year, this year I am loving the tan and white. They really do some fantastic shoes at a great price and their Gladiator heels are so amazing.  If you order shoes before midnight tonight they are offering free delivery. Moda in Pelle  


These grey heels with concealed platform are from Zara, but bought in the Puerto Banus branch 3 years ago I think.  When in PB, whilst I am browsing in Dior, Chloe or Louis Vuitton, you hear a of chorus of teenage girls moaning for Zara and Mango and when I eventually walked in, I saw these in front of me and bought them immediatley!

The shoes I prostituted myself for (don't worry it was to OH) my gorgeous gold Gina's.  I call these my Puerto Banus shoes although I am yet to wear them there.  Maybe this year if the Ash Cloud isn't still loaming come August! http://www.gina.com/


For me, Louboutin is to the shoe world what Chanel is the bag world.  On my wanted list for many years I finally got these last year from http://www.theoutnet.com/ , I only hope one day I will be saying the same thing about a 2.55!

And now to pass on this award to 7 other blogs:-
1. My friend and newbie blogger http://snowystylista.blogspot.com/
4.http://makedostyle.blogspot.com
5.http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/
6.http://www.thestylecrusader.com/
and finally 7. http://www.newfavouritething.com/ whose blog I found through London Street Style Bloggers 5 and 6 and I have seen a gorgeous pair of gold sandals which I believe to be Brian Atwoods, hopefully by tagging her we will get to find out!

  1. Isn't this a fun award meme? I love your shoes and it's great to see the different personal styles that come out from the selections. A pair of Louboutin's is on my wish list, but I don't think I could wear a heel that high...
