Obsessed with that Dress.

That dress. Yes, that one we all love. The Miu Miu body con Fit'n'flare dress. First seen on the likes of Kirstin Dunst in the ad campaign and then spotted on celebrities alike. Why is it such a stunner? Is it the sheer simplicity of the thing or is it the fact that it can only be worn by girls with stick legs which therefore means that it has no chance at looking anything but enviable? Well it could be because of either of those reasons, but who cares I mean it's not like I'll be wearing it anytime soon!
For starters I don't have the bank account and don't even get me started on the legs that go with it either.
But more importantly was I lying when I said that we all adore this dress or was I just being a little prejudiced?

Oh and by the way if you like myself are desperatly seeking a copy, check out this version at ASOS!

Anxiously Awaiting your thoughts xoxo,

A Woman's Persiut of thy coveted Shoe!

Jimmy Choo Ad Campaign with Heather Marks



Sex and the City Urban Shoe Myth

Whilst admiring the hundreds of designer shoes at the new and improved shoe department at David Jones in the city, my friend L and I were discussing how wonderful it would be to be rich. A little on the obvious side I know but more specifically what it will be like when we get our first real big pay check and more importantly what we'll spend it on. L, like many girls will be spending hers on herself because after all she deserves it. But whilst we were admiring the beautiful shoes at the Miu Miu and Jimmy Choo sections L told me that she had already decided what to spend hers on (now that's forward planning for you).

L, when she gets her first big one is heading straight to the counter for an amazingly high, killer pair of the luxurious and world famous, Jimmy Choos. Jimmy's shoes are the shoe choice of Hollywood glamazons like, Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johanssen, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce and Katherine Heigl. You name the celebrity and you can bet they have a couple of pairs in the closet(walk in of course).

So what is it that allures so many girls to flash their credit cards (or first big pay checks) for one of these big name shoes? Are they any more comfortable than the back breaking ones by other lesser brands? According to Carrie Bradshaw, Manolo Blahnik's no.1 fan, yes they are. And not only are you paying for a little more comfort, in the product that is made to be uncomfortable, but these bigger name brands also promise hand made quality, exclusivity (due to the larger prices) and of course exceptional design ahead of the trends.

As L and I were forced to leave the mecca of all shoe departments, we said our goodbyes and promised that we'd visit soon, except that next time we vowed to unleash them from their dreary boxes to let them do what they were made for, walkin. (Jessica Simpson reference here in case you missed it)

Love Always xoxo
