New shoes

Whilst I was in Edinburgh, I strolled past the front of the Duo shoe shop a fair few times and lusted over the shoes and boots in the window. Then, on the final day, I finally decided to pop in and try a few pairs on, to treat myself and to give myself a rather nice souvenir from Edinburgh.

There were so many nice shoes I could hardly decide which ones to treat myself to. In the end, I plumped for these because they were a classic design with a lovely red accent that means they will go with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. My favourite feature of them is the red heel. It also means I can't drive in them because of the fear of scuffing the heel, but hey.

I really recommend Duo shoes, haven't tried their boots yet though but they come in so many calf sizes, which I think is brilliant for someone like me with petite legs! If you're ever in Manchester, Bath, Edinburgh or London, be sure to visit their stores. The customer service was really very good and I came away feeling a little bit special, like you always should after buying shoes.

I am wearing them today for work, trying to wear them in. They are pinching me slightly at the moment because of the stiff patent leather, but I know they will be a classic addition to my wardrobe once I've got them worn in.
