How to Wear: Sneaker Wedges
Sneaker wedges are all the rage this spring, we've seen celebs like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Keri Hilson sporting them; so I thought I would give you some inspiration on how to wear them:
I'm so in love with the Giuseppe Zanotti metallic silver sneaker wedges and thought they would look great with a printed tank top, white jeans and a bold lip. I also threw in this purple Juicy Couture bag to add a little more colour, and a leather jacket would go well if it gets a bit chilly.
Ok so I know the Giuseppe sneaker wedges are a bit pricey... well very pricey! so here are a few that are a little kinder to the pocket and still look the bomb.com

I hope this has given you some ideas xx

My Shoe Collection 2011...
Happy new year! I know its a bit late but since we're still in January I think I can get away with it lol. This is my first blog post since last year so I thought I would share some of the shoes that I've collected during 2011.
Most of them are from Topshop or River Island and as you can see I have a special place in my heart for shoes with a platform. This year I'm hoping to introduce more colour into my collection and also get a pair or two that are completely off the radar.. like way outside the box, I'll be sure to show you guys once I find them.

Christian Louboutin: Harvey Nichols
As soon as I found about this I made it my mission to be there! On Thursday 24th November Christian Louboutin headed to Harvey Nichols in London to promote and sign his new book that marks 20 years since the opening of his first boutique.
After much waiting and anticipation Monsieur Louboutin arrived just after 5pm while the room was buzzing with excited fans waiting for their chance to meet him.
Looking dapper in his red suit he signed books and chatted away, so humble so sweet!
The book is beyond beautiful, with a stunning leather fold out cover, gold trim pages and an intricate pop-up. Divided into six chapters the book starts with Louboutin's biography from his work with Yves Saint Laurent to "20 years of design", highlighting his shoe creations through amazing still life photography. Its perfect for any shoe lover!

Shoe-la-la!: Alicia Keys in Christian Louboutin Brodee Pumps
Alicia Keys hit the red carpet for the NYC premiere of the broad way play The Mountaintop, a fictional play that depicts how Martin Luther King spent his last night on the eve of his assassination.
Anyway she accessorised her green blazer and black slim cut trousers with a pair of Christian Louboutin Daffodile Brodee pumps.
These towering 6 inch pumps were designed to celebrate 20 years of Mr Louboutin's iconic designs, and we can all agree that his shoes have been more than memorable. If you're looking for some shoes to splurge on, these could be perfect... at a £1,495 price tag!
I love the shoes, but I don't think Alicia did them any justice with her outfit, it's just a bit blah...
