in search of the right flat...

As you all know I am a fan of my heels... They are elegant and flattering and are so pretty. But there are times when they are just highly impractical, no matter how conditioned you think your feet are! Those nights where you want to dance all night, want to stand around laughing and walk home or simply told to vacate your seat so some dweeby skeezbag can pull some not so eager drunk girl (yes that actually happened to us on Stephen's Night- we stole their drinks in retaliation).

I have a feeling New Years will be a night like this (hopefully not with the last part) and I want to enjoy it. I don't want to lose my balance when drunk people knock into me (or if I get too drunk myself), I don't want to have to ask to sit down for awhile. I want to dance into the new year! So appropriate footwear is in order. Flats, pumps... Sadly so far I have not found a pair I think will be pretty enough for a night out, for a party, for a soiree. All the pretty shoes seem to have serious height to them. I have to go on a further expedition this morning. I dare enter the crazy world of sales but I think it could be successful.

Wish me luck!

good old fashioned party...

It's getting to that time of year again. The festive season will soon be upon us and that means sparkly parties! I know it's a little soon but don't judge me... I have my first real work party in two weeks and I am super excited! We are going for dinner, then cocktails, then dancing (with more cocktails). I felt it was a necessity for me to go all old school glamour on the situation. I feel like Christmas is the perfect excuse to truly get all dolled up like you never have before. And as I once read before, if in doubt over dress. I'm thinking Mad Men, I'm thinking Breakfast at Tiffanys. After all no one does parties like those ladies. I'm thinking that my outfit will consist of a black satin full skirted dress, shining jewellery, big hair and sparkly shoes (green sparkly shoes). Hopefully it will all look how I want it to look but I decided I didn't want to play it safe. I wanted to show off and feel fabulous! 

Anyone else have any festive soirees coming up soon? What style are going to go with?
