Morning is mocking me

31 August, 2012



Shoes*: c/o Missikon // Dress: Vintage via Urban Outfitters, £30 (w/ staff discount) // Cycling Shorts: New Look Sale, £4// Headband*: c/o Crown & Glory via Giveaway // Necklace*: c/o Tentative Decisions

These are the shoes that all my dreams put together are made of! I have a pretty outrageous shoe collection but I think it's safe to say these come out on top! I've always been skeptical of heel-less shoes and just how practical they are to walk in, but these shoes have put all of my doubts to bed. I don't understand the science of it or how on earth they do it, but they're just as easy to walk in as a normal wedge! In fact they're so comfortable to walk in that I potter around the house in them and managed to tidy my bedroom whilst wearing them the other day. I'm living the glamourous life! Missikon have an absolutely beautiful collection of shoes at affordable prices, for example the studded beauties I'm wearing today are only £28. I feel like I should be walking down a runway or attending a ridiculously important party in the West End of London, but the reality is I'm wearing them doing the housework or at my usual Saturday night haunt.

A couple of weeks ago I won a very generous giveaway held by Sophie over at Crown & Glory. This dainty flower crown was one of the prizes in the package. It seemed to match perfectly with the dress I'm wearing today! A flower garland can turn around an entire outfit making it that extra special and whimsical. The turquoise tooth necklace I'm wearing was gifted to me by Tentative Decisions. Keep an eye out as I'll be posting about their treasures very soon! I've recently become obsessed with Boardwalk Empire and I've convinced myself I was born into the wrong era and that I was supposed to be a 1920's flapper showgirl in America. I'm also convinced that I'm supposed to marry Vincent Piazza or a Sicilian born, New York based gangster at least.

  7. Wow, so jealous of the shoes!!! I really wanted to get the Jeffrey Campbell ones, but I guess the affordable ones are just as good. I was just skeptical like you, because the concept of heelless shoes still sounds unreal. I guess I'll start looking for cheaper options that ship to the U.S.

    And congratulations on winning the garland! It looks really cool with your hair :)

  10. Alot of my friends have heeless shoes and I couldn't imagine wearing them because I'm soooo clumsy and uncoordinated! The dress is sososososo cute and of course from UO! I've been debating about ordering my own Crown and Glory headband myself but still undecided whether it would look nice on me and not making my already peahead even smaller! xxxx

  17. Love how you have juxtaposed the cute playsuit with these edgy shoes! I LOVE THEM! I don't know the science behind it either but they really are comfy to walk in because my sister owns a pair. It's magical it really is. I'm all for quirky heel-less shoes now.
