Evening all,
I'm sorry this post is a couple of days late but between moving to London , freshers week and no Internet access for the last 3 days due to problems in the halls I've not really had much time to think.
However I do have this post and another lined up for the next couple of days so I can hopefully get back on track and get back into my routine.
One thing I have found out about living in London - it's not the cost that makes it expensive, it's the amount of temptation around. A good example of this are the shoes selected for this post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My shoes of the week are the Kurt Geiger "Pickle" studded sandals
Luckily for me the LSE is about 5 minutes walk from Covent Garden. After a few bits to do this morning I had the afternoon free so thought I would take a walk over. The weather down here is dry but getting colder and tourist season is letting up before Christmas making the overall walk quite pleasant.
Unintentionally, my first stop ended up being Kurt Geiger. They had a sale sign in the window and the latest collection at the front of the store making it impossible for me not to have a look. I have always loved the KG brand but due to pricing being way out of my league I constantly check whats on sale in every store I pass.
The Covent Garden shop had a wide range of designs in the sale but most pairs were in limited sizes. I spotted the above pair because of the stud detail and because they looked quite big (therefore might fit).
I was in luck ! the last pair were a EU 41 or a UK 8.
Needless to say they were quickly tried on and walked around the shop.
They feel rather comfortable to walk in both with and without socks on (I doubt I will ever wear these with socks) and the design doesn't rub against my toes or ankle. The low to mid heel (7cm) also gives great comfort making them feel easy to wear without having to worry about falling off or out of them. They also have real leather uppers which will mold to your feet after a couple of wears.
The design of the shoe itself isn't one I would normally go for because I feel my feet look strange in sandals and I associate them with older ladies but these actually looked really stylish on.
The best part was the price. On the website these are listed at a RRP of £95 reduced to £29 but in store they were knocked down a further £4 making them just £25.
They are now quite happy as part of my ever growing shoe collection and I look forward to wearing them out and about London.
Overall - an 8/10. Not the most desirable shoes but practical, durable and easy to mix and match with my wardrobe.
For those who have yet to visit Covent Garden I do recommend going as it's full of great brand name and specialist shops/stalls.
Speak soon
