although I've said the word so many times it looks.. odd now

LetThemEatCake · 30/09/2010 14:30

running in to say that I have nothing against courts, pumps or any permutations thereof, and frequently see people rocking the look admirably. NaP pic prime example, also for work think they look ace, can see Roma and Choo in their beautiful well-cut suits and their Choos and Louboutins, fabulous.

For me. however, think the 2 x Sam Edelmans are a better fit, style-wise. Also lifetsyle wise as I am 85% SAHM/ freelancing from home and 15% away-from-home-office work.

So thanks for your thumbs up on these ones, which should be with me by tomorrow. I will have to uploads pic of studded ones as can't seem to find online. They have something of the Sex Pistols about them, it must be said.

(my fave boots ever that I bought as a moody teen were flat black pointy ankle boots and had big silver buckles in shape of skulls ... so cool!! Grin)

I had grey pixie boots when I was 14, to wear with my herring bone coat.....

Just back from a long run in the sunshine. Decided to play the ipod shuffle lottery and hence was spurred on by the likes of:

Dolly Parton - 9 to 5
Snap - The Power
Leftfield - Leftism
The Cure - In between days
Florence and the Machine - You Got the Love

Talk about variety!

notyummy · 30/09/2010 14:39

Edelmans are lovely!

Yangy - my H and M wedge boots seem to work thus far at work with trouser suits, with maxis and at weekend with jeans. But they are synthetic.

LetThemEatCake · 30/09/2010 14:41

also to say carciofi am very pleased you found your cc!!

I used to rebel looking smart at work yangy. Luckily was creative industry but still. I swing between all kinds of things now, because it's fun. And there are no restrictions. and my sr is a fashion show

Am wearing mid-length wool tweed shorts today and ahem anthracite leggings and Chloe cream ankle boots, camel APC jumper and cream cashmere scarf.

What are people wearing? Haven't done this for a while...

I would go for the leopard print.

Marsha, outfit sounds fab. I am very boring, Paige skinny jeans, black Ash trainers, black DKNY cozy and red long sleeve top.

aha! found a link for my other new boots here

nice work Yangy!

MM is on hols in Greece, back soon I think.

how is vin??

DolceeBanana · 30/09/2010 15:51

Hells - I like the first pair of boots....love them actually and tempted...not keen on the second pair...something about those studs...

Monkeysmama is sunning herself en vacances, lucky thing!

I like courts too...if they are fashiony as you say Tracey...not to be worn a l'office...nooooo....

Yes, this thread is bad for your wallet Yangy but you can at least benchmark and justify any spendage by saying things like, 'well Choo (for example) spends a fortune on clothes.....' Wink

Loving those Edelmans Cake!

ooh helles I hadn't clicked on your links until now, love both pairs of bikers!!! how will you choose (or won't you Wink)

it's muppets meets yeti meets The Doors here today

fur gilet + black tee + skinny jeans + studded bikers (not the new ones)

plus slightly harassed expression. Dh and I opened a new joint account this morning - you would not believe the questions they ask you for their 'customer profiling' - "what are your short term goals?" Um, to open this blasted account and go and get a coffee??

notyummy · 30/09/2010 16:26

I am sure there used to be some yummy cakes made by Edelmans as well. Is it wrong that the cake is my first reference when hearing the name - and not shoes?? Perhaps I will never really be a true S & B lady.... Blush
