I LOVE THEM LOVE THEM LOVE THEM.

they make me look like I have amazing long legs. they can be worn with little dress, denim skirt, under linen trousers.

I LOVE THEM.

wore them for the first time last night, with such success that am wearing them again for lunch today....

here they are!

i want these babies in silver

although for the first time in my life i'm toying with getting into gold (have olive skin and have never liked it weirdly).

franca, the antibiotics are working well! I sound awful but am feeling infinitely better.

well. i have yellow skin! and in terms of make up definitely suit cooler tones (blues/greens/greys/taupes/mauves) browns look absolutely awful on me. same for oranges.

Those (in the op) are absolutely gorgeous.
I'ts only shoes like that that make me wish I was a bit shorter.

you know not only do they elongate my legs extraordinarily. they make my feet look petit too. it's win win win win win.

i made a big mistake though. I bought a pair of flat suede pumps from zara with an ankle strap. now they cut my legs off and i can't seem to find anything they look good with (3/4 trews deffo no, dresses deffo no) they are a disaster, but so pretty, bright vivid green.

Amazonian requires far more grace than I have.
I just about scrape by in flats.

5 i think....either 38 or 39

they are really pretty. the ankle strap is double: two thin strands of suede.

Very nice Soph.

I've just bought these.

no no, the gold sandals i'm thinking of are very simple and flat.

Am on mission to relieve world of gold wedges.

expatinscotland · 11/05/2008 18:35

my sister has those, soph and she loves them, too.

she also has these adorable little toes that look great in any shoe.

creepykid · 11/05/2008 18:36

I don't understand suede as a summer shoe, it just seems a bit wrong.

Heathcliffscathy · 11/05/2008 18:36

my toenails are hot pink atm. which helps.

still ahve to get rid of hard skin on heels and balls of feet though.

Heathcliffscathy · 11/05/2008 18:37

in a really acid bright colour is lovely. but the ankle straps on a flat shoe

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 11/05/2008 18:38

hers are a lovely shade of coral and she's got a great tan - her skin is naturally a few shades darker than mine.

those shoes are so versatile!

they go with anything.
