Today, I saw the most beautiful pair of heels I have ever seen in my entire life!

I was walking down the street when I saw a woman passing with the most incredible shoes I had ever seen. I could not stop myself from gasping out loud when I saw them, and as she walked by, I stared in stunned silence until I had to utter the feeble line ‘I *LOVE* your shoes!’

She smiled and thanked. As she walked past and I kept staring the shoes, I saw the red undersoles. Silly me, of course I did – they were red velvet Louboutins – who bloody well wouldn’t?

When I got home I had to google ‘red velvet Louboutin’ and the first result I got was the same shoes that was made of my wettest dreams.

For as long as I remember I have dreamed of prancing around the house in a sexy little apron and satin marabou slippers.

I just haven’t found the perfect pair yet…

Here’s some examples of what’s available online, but none of them are what I really want: a 4 inch satin slipper, with a satin covered heel and a marabou detail in barely there pink.

Pleaser slippers with 5 inch clear stiletto heel

The ones with the high enough heels tend to come with clear stripper heels – which I don’t necessary mind – but I’d like something more classy.

Pleaser 3 inch satin marabou slippers

The 3 inch Pleaser slippers are quite close, but I’d like the heel to be higher and more delicate.

The shape of this red pair is absolutely perfect, but I don’t want them strappy and of course the colour is wrong.

Do you know where I could find my perfect pair of Domestic Goddess Satin Slippers?

I think I should start blogging one pretty thing every day. If only for the reason that then I’m forced to look for pretty things on a daily basis.

Anyhoo, here’s today’s one, which not entirely surprisingly is a gorgeous pair of designer heels.

Now how perfect are these to charge up an office outfit?

Just how hot are these heels? I saw these on Vogue and began hunting them down – only to find out that they had been sold out everywhere already. Just – my – luck.

The Vanities Girls
Since 1992, the magazine’s Vanities section has opened with a full-page portrait of a promising young star. In September 2006, we tweaked the format: the Vanities opener now features an up-and-coming actress in a 50s-style pinup shot. These shapely ingénues are on the cusp of fame or have just hit it big; they have names you need to know and faces you won’t have trouble remembering. Here’s a look at all the bombshells who’ve struck a playful pose in the new retro style.

I’ve been hunting for a sexy classic nude pumps for quite some time, but still haven’t found that perfect pair.

So far these Christian Louboutins are closest to what I’m after.

Any ideas where else I could look?

Have you seen anything like these by some other designer/label?

These black little T.U.K. Inc. heels with white trim & bow are certainly the funniest pair of heels I’ve ever bought.

You can’t really see from the picture, but the toe is VERY rounded which gives any outfit a doll-like feel, and makes my feet appear even tinier than they really are.

They are just cheapies and not even made of real leather, but I figured that I’m not likely to run into anything as quirky in better quality, so I bought them anyway. I found them from a little skate shop selling gothy/punky/alternative/whateveryouwanttocallit gear. They had only one pair left and it was my size, so it was meant to be.

I can’t wait to pair them up with a pleated skirt and a pair of knee-high socks!

For some reason I have a magical talent for wearing out my shoes in record time. The comfortable* everyday office pumps seem to break a heel within the first year, if not already in the first 6 months.

I have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to spend too much money on the pair that I am likely to wear out in no time.

A decent office pair therefore translates to roughly $100. Would you agree?

Mollini Mary Janes

Once again I am facing the the sad reality of losing my lovely black Mollini Mary Janes that have served me so well.

Enough heel to make them worth my while and always add that delightful naughty school girl edge to any outfit. I loved them with all my heart.

[Insert here uncontrollable sobbing]

I was trying to buy a new pair to replace them, but of course Mollini no longer have my size left in the entire country.

I should learn to buy two pairs of everything. Just in case I happen to REALLY like them.

ZU Pacific

Last week I managed to find a new pair of office heels.

I don’t think I’ve ever managed to find anything I like at ZU, but this tan pair was just irresistibly cute.

The fact that they were on sale for $91 made them a bargain, and I just had to take them home.

Not quite as nice as my late black Mary Janes, but teamed up with a pair of white knee highs they’re sure to do the trick.

Now did I buy two pairs of them? Of course not. Now watch me regret in 6 months and counting down…

(* As comfortable as 4-5 inches can be that is.)

A 30 year old female. That’s me.

A designer with an affinity for all things beautiful and intoxicating. Oh yes.

A taste for the luxurious? I confess.

The aforementioned makes it all the more difficult to face reality.

I have come to realise that the years elevated by a gluttonous carefree pleasure of consumerist narcissism are running past me with roughly the same velocity as the cursed biological clock ticking in the back of my head.

Glinting in the horizon of the not so distant future is sensible budgeting towards sustainable financial life. Playing house is bound to take priority over impersonating Carrie eventually.

Gorgeous shoes, hot fashion items and luxurious cosmetics will all be a thing of the past sooner than I can spell Christian Louboutin.

It is therefore my contention, that I might as well enjoy it while I still can. Right?

And speaking of spelling: this gorgeous pair had my name all over them but they no longer have my size in stock. Heartbroken!
