LOL. I thought you were recommending another blog! :)

Clarks did do half sizes in the Kendra, but still not good. I must be a three and three quarters. :(

Ah tesco do 6.5. Not 5.5. Triple grr

If Tesco do 6.5, why not 5.5?? It's annoying.

If you love the Kendra's, would you consider a half insole or one of those heel strips?

Another workwear blog I really like is Corporette (although it's US). Not sure Gigi would be a great name for a serious blog? [judgmental]

I tried the 4s with an insole - still way too big. :(

ENVY at all you with your tippy toed pwincess feet.

Mine are 7.5, 8 on a bad day. Balances the tits I suppose, with small feet I would prob over balance.

I've got small feet AND big tits - Weebles wobble etc.

I've got small ankles and big feet (for my frame). I can look like Sideshow Bob in pointed flats, if I am not careful. Hot.

sassy - I think LK BENNETT and Jones the Bootmaker both do good shoes in large sizes.

Finbar just texted. 25% off autograph TONIGHT

Those skater shoes. Sideshow bob

ooh no - 20%

M&S do those 20% off offers semi-regularly. Good if you have your eye on something, but wouldn't make me purchase unless I was already about to. Some of the Autograph pricing is quite ambitious at the moment, not to mention inconsistent. Why are some shoes £100, when last seasons version was £50?

you are the voice of reason. those shoes still 70 odd quid which is more than i would normally pay. when you look through the autograph stuff alone it does look good though

i do like the white blouse with the v insert in that dreadful advertising campaign. Not reduced though.

They did some fantastic bags last season, too. Was v impressed. I have their ankle boots in pewter, wine and also pony skin, too. I adore them. Elegant and comfortable. Will have another look now.

As an aside, what does everyone think of these? I really am taken w the colour, but the heel. It's a bit wrong, no? www.kurtgeiger.com/women/shoes/flats/natalie-gold-snake-print-36-5-vince-camuto-signature-shoe.html

not sure about curvedy heel
I do like the Autograph studded flats but OMG the price

Err, yes, £100! No, M&S, be reasonable.

These are a fab sale pair of boots, though www.marksandspencer.com/leather-pointed-toe-ankle-boots-with-insolia/p/p22277515#product-info

Sorry - got the Autograph % wrong...was carried away!

Finbar

Oh, gorgeous. Not workwear obv www.marksandspencer.com/leather-faux-snakeskin-clutch-bag/p/p22298811

Good Lord, no www.marksandspencer.com/crpe-cropped-trousers/p/p22306258

I'm sure this is the one I saw in the store that is beautiful in RL www.marksandspencer.com/chiffon-trim-t-shirt/p/p22272068

Yup agree

Finbar. That tops for you

Don't like the heel on those, Belinda, sorry.

M&S shoes at £100 is ridiculous. They really don't pay attention to what their customers mostly seem to want from them - ie affordable basics in decent fabrics. Silly people.

I like this

And this

And this

Not seen any of them irl though.
