need a posh pair of shoes and matching bag

[nailpolish]

have FINALLY found a dress for the wedding do next weekend, its plain black wrap, so i want a posh pair of shoes and matching bag, not too 'womanly', nice and trendy please

i love sandals but are they posh enough? and i want a bag to match

shoes, sandals, wedges, oohh the choices

and a posh piece of jewellery for my neck

[Fimbo]

Try Jones. Sorry got to go and get dd from school or would do the link. Have you seen my "Calling Nailpolish" thread. Think its under "Chat".

[nailpolish]

will hurry over and see fimbo now

[NomDePlume]

Damn it. DD awake now so I have to go and be Mummy.... Will be back with some fabulous ideas later

A friend bought a gorgeous tea-dress for her sister's wedding which was really demure and pretty. She wore it with the most fantastic red heels (Choos I think) and they added just the right amount of tartiness IYKWIM. You could do the same especially with a black dress - shoe heaven .

[nailpolish]

oh yes tartiness is sounding good - esp after having baby no 2 and needing to get out of being a mummy and being me for a night

i agree that a plain black dress is perfect for shoe heaven!

[nailpolish]

oh fab - a nice man has just delivered my new spring/summer next catalogue

[welshmum]

Some lovely shoes in Top Shop (Oxford Street) - and some bags too.

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Russell & Bromley do lovely shoes with matching handbags.

[Expectantmum]

Depends how much you want to spend. LK Bennetts do lovely shoes and matching bags but are quite pricey.

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Yes, R&B is quite pricey. Shoes and bag I bought were £400, but they are v classic and I have used them loads. Lots of comments on how lovely the handbag is.

[nailpolish]

there is nothing more lovely than a lovely handbag, IMO

[CountessDracula]

I dunno a nice bum is always top of my list

[HandbagAddiction]

Speaking from a position of authority ......I can only agree wholeheartedly with Nailpolishes last statement !

[nailpolish]

lol! i looked at r and b but had to step away as my budget is too tight

wonder if topshop have any cheap copies?

im heading towards red - i love red shoes!

[nailpolish]

thats the best addiction to have IMO

the newly refurbished Clarks store on Oxford Street is lovely. Sigh.

[dyzzidi]

Designers at debenhams do some nice ones and have got 20% from thursday to Monday?

[nailpolish]

jones is a great website, thanks

[nailpolish]

ooooooh, must go to that debenhams sale! also have a debenhams card, so its not real money!

I agree about LK Bennett, was just in at lunchtime and they had loads of lovely things. Also, I always think that Jigsaw are fantastic for accessories. Lovely bags, shoes, scarves, jewellery etc at the moment.

[nailpolish]

see, i never get to these shops cos i live in the middle of bloody nowhere, but i think jones is a good website, the lk bennett seems non-existent and the russell and bromley have a very limited section

might treat myself to a trip to edinburgh though, am salivating at the thought of shoe shop galore, and you can try them on, prance about in the shop instead of trying in the house, not fitting and having to send them back

thanks again girls

[Smurfgirl]

I just bought some fabulous sandals in Peacocks today for only £12 and they had some lovely bags, so if you can get there its well worth a look

Jigsaw have some amazing shoes + matching bags at the moment.
