Shoes of the Week 13/02/14 - New Look Chunky Block Heel Chelsea Boots

Hello all

Another fairly quiet week here again with the exception of a night out to an old favourite "The Roadhouse" in Covent Garden. After not going out for a while the swing dance girls decided to let our hair down for a bit and have a fairly classy night. We went on a Thursday as this is when a band plays for the majority of the night giving the place a gig atmosphere whilst offering a place to sit down and enjoy the cocktails on offer. I really like Roadhouse as its not too crowded most of the time and even the DJ sets are good, the only downside is the prices when on a student budget (£7 a cocktail).

This weeks shoes were spotted after I took a walk over to Marble Arch. I don't normally venture that far up Oxford Street because my feet normally kill from ding the main stretch but I had some stuff to do in the area so I thought I would check out what was on offer. The New Look at that end is really big and I couldn't resist a look in.

My shoes of the week are Black Patent Chunky Block Heel Chelsea Boots

I don't know why I love these so much but they are gorgeous.

 

The chunky heel is made from rubber, offering stability as well as grip. The patent uppers are soft giving you the chance to move about freely without the chance for blisters or cuts and the elastic is very giving which meant I could slip them on easily when trying them on in store.

 

The Chelsea boot is everywhere this season so I would definitely recommend getting your hands on a pair soon. Team them with leggings and a jumper now or toughen up a summer dress and a denim jacket in the warmer weather.

 

At £29.99 this pair is well priced and New Look have plenty more designs on sale for about the same cost. I tried on a size 7 in tights and they fit my standard size 8 feet just fine so I think you should probably try before you buy to make sure you are getting the right size 

 

(Although for a cheaper matte alternative check out Primark £15)

Shoes of the Week 06/02/13 - Evans Colourblock Platform Courts

Hi Guys

This weeks been busy again but in a musical way.

A couple of friends from uni got together recently and decided to have a jam to see what we sounded like. I played the drums for about 5 years in high school and dabbled a bit with them in college before they got put into storage. This was the first time I sat behind a kit in almost 2 years and I loved it. Within the space of 2 weeks our jam group had turned into a band with a gig booked for Sat 2nd Feb at a local pub.

After 8 hours of crazy practise during Saturday day we had a set list prepared and headed to set up. Sound check went well and before we knew it it was our turn on stage. The gig went brilliantly and we had a few supporters who came to see us perform for the first time. We celebrated with a well deserved pint and by Sunday it felt like a dream.

The rest of this week has been taken up with work as I try and get ahead before my lovely Mother comes and visits next weekend. I can't wait to show her around the sights and catch up.

This weeks shoes are inspired by an email I received by Evans showing off some familiar faces in their latest collections. Check out Beth (www.archedeyebrow.com) , Georgina ( www.fullerfigurefullerbust.com) and Callie (http://www.fromthecornersofthecurve.com/) modelling the Scarlett and Jo collection.

My shoes of the week are Evans Colourblock Platform Courts

Eye catching ? Check ! Bold ? Check ! Fabulous ? Check !

 

Offering a style revamp to your work wardrobe in cobalt and black these shoes are designed to get you noticed. 

 

Featuring a 7 cm (2.7") heel and wide fitting Evans have stuck true to comfort without compromising on style. The cute bow print lining adds a playful element to an otherwise serious court shoe.  The contrasting toecap and heel help lengthen your legs and minimise your feet , offering an easy way to get a slimmer look and a small platform at the front gives you the perfect balance.

 

They also come in a neon colourway (shown below) which still offer eye catching style but with less of a shock.

 

 

At £35 you can't go wrong but you will have to be quick as they are selling out fast.

 

 

Overall I give 8/10 - fabulous shoes at a decent price

 

 

Speak to you soon
