My nails are currently deep purple with silver sparkles on the top. My sister keeps nagging me to grow them, she doesn't listen when I explain why I can't, she just keeps on about how much nicer they'd look if they were long. Have any of you seen the apparent new trend for filing nails to a point? Looks hideous

carrie74 · 30/08/2013 21:26

Love the first Edelmans Marsha, but yes, heel looks v odd on second pair (and dare I say it, but a bit like something my MIL would wear).

MarshaBrady · 30/08/2013 21:27

LOL scratch out. scratch out. No mil chic here!

shopafrolic · 30/08/2013 21:28

Yup - don't like the moulded heel sorry. I did like the Edelman's we saw but may look quite big?
some more ideas here

My nails grow, One, but I much prefer them short, I think short nails carry off colour much better than long ones. I also HATE hearing my nails clacking on my laptop at work. And yes, HATE the pointed trend at the moment, it would really annoy me, apart from looking horrible.

Yes marsha a pretty odd heel.

Thanks again shop!

shopafrolic · 30/08/2013 21:29

Pointed are fake tips though surely. Too much like JessieJ for me!

I feel like there is a shoe shortage. It's either pistol or bust these days. All the rest are copies anyway.

Or Marant dickers, ditto, but they look like they'd fall apart in a couple of days.

Hmm if I can't get anything will have to TRY and be patient!

In a couple of weeks my budget goes up.

shopafrolic · 30/08/2013 21:32

You go barefoot and I'll eat baked beans Marsha £40 into the pot this month. Those Pistols will be mine by early 2014 Grin

marsha, got the black one of these last winter, and they're SO comfy (I'm really a flats girl, and can't walk in heels, but these feel flat on, it's tremaze):

Love the Mirar boots in the bordo Grin

MarshaBrady · 30/08/2013 21:41

Nice thanks Carrie and Shop. Ok Mirar could be a goer.

Dh just saw these J Crew flats over my shoulder. I think I invoked some sort of mil chic rant. Loathes them!

I could do with that J Crew store here now.

LinusDKD · 30/08/2013 21:43

Well if we are doing piccies of our feet and hands, this is me trying on a pair of half price nude J.Choo heels (which I didn't buy)

This one's for you dry Wink

MarshaBrady · 30/08/2013 21:45

What gorgeous J Choos Linus

carrie74 · 30/08/2013 21:47

Oh, I like those flats, Marsha (although haven't worked out if I can work slipper flats. I'm inclined to think they may look a little too...comfortable...on me).

linus, they're a bit nice, aren't they? Although I think I prefer the red flats cast aside to try on the nude Grin.

Drywhiteplease · 30/08/2013 21:47

Shoes on the sofa linus!!!!Shock

Choos in the sofa linus Grin

LinusDKD · 30/08/2013 21:55

Hey, it wasn't my sofa (and the shop assistant suggested I put my foot up there so I could take a better picture)

They were absolutely gorgeous and a lovely nude for my very pale skin. But I had to choose between them and ankle boots, so I chose the Colts as I will get more use out of them.

OneLittleLady · 30/08/2013 22:03

lovely shoes linus both the nude and the red flats. I really struggle with heels because I'm really a half size, a 4.5. I can get into a wide fitting four most of the time but usually have to wear fives as not enough stores do wide fitting. I avoid heels without straps otherwise they tend to fall off my feet and generally flap around making that flip floppy noise

shopafrolic · 30/08/2013 22:06

Gorgeous Linus nice trousers too :)

OP posts:
LinusDKD · 30/08/2013 22:20

Ah, you recognised the Jimmies! ;-)

The red flats were a great bargain and I do feel a bit like Dorothy when I wear them.

Off to bed now! Night night.
