Ballet pumps look sooooo comfy, so why do they hurt like hell on yer heels so much? One of life's mysteries.

Bought a lovely summer dress from New Look last week - black and white and drapey. Per una at M&S had some nice crinkly ones too.

Try rocket dog for ballet pumps - I have very woosy feet but they are comfy for me :)

Yes come on everyone - i need to knwo what to buy!

In last couple of days have been very boring and bought 2 white vests (one proper vest, one a strappy one with secret support) and a skirt from good old Tesco! It's white with a blue stripe in it, very light and floaty.

I know I need cropped jeans but what else?

WRT ballet shoes, I find they do hurt on the back of your heel.
Rub vaseline or hair wax onto the inside of the back of the shoe and it softens the leather lots.
