Shoes

Well this is long overdue

Anyone who knows me would have expected this to be my first post

if not the only topic on my Blog

Never one to deprive those that admire the good things in life

here we are at last!

 

 This is what I am wearing now

Major trendsetter stuff!

There are rules for shoes and an order in which they are stored

Fanatical? No way!

Organised? Not in my vocabulary!

Practical? Oh Yeah!

There are categories and all shoes fall into a category, just one category ever.

There are "The shoes that kill, but heavens they look good"

This is reserved for those must have ones 

 and is accompanied by a

 Handbag and full set of Bling

and a pair to wear while driving

if I am driving

 but a Limousine could be warranted for these shoes!

Favourite brand here is. of course Prada .

All stored in Clear Shoe Boxes

 Then there are those that I could wear out to lunch, time with the girls, nights I know a dance marathon (or karaoke) is on the cards.

These are still stylish, not as painful and cost less than a good meal

May have either a matching or coordinating handbag 

Boots must have a matching scarf

Still stored in boxes but not all clear

 Next is those to be worn around town. Shopping, visiting friends basically anywhere there isn't sand.

Shopping shoes need to be comfortable, must look good,(sales people judge your price range by your footwear and serve accordingly. Want to wait in line then wear your flip flops!)

Comfortable does not mean joggers! Although my favourite are a pair of Diana Ferrari lace ups, brand clearly on shoe and good for shopping expeditions

  This pair of Prada sneakers will set you back a quick $468US

Good grocery Shop

 Trend for 2011!

"Honeysuckle" is the colour of 2011.  This was chosen by Pantone Color Institute,  the company that largely sets colour standards  for the fashion and home industries.

Honeysuckle is "encouraging and uplifting.  It elevates our psyche beyond escape,  instilling the confidence,  courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges  that have become part of everyday life".

 so get out there (order from US while the AUS dollar gets us $1.10) and 

snaggle some bargains trendsetters!

I think it is a cool colour for Fluffy Slippers , perfect for Mothers Day!

Although a Honeysuckle Christmas could also work 
if Rudolph changes the bulb colour in his nose!
