the (not so) new shoes.

…Have some dripping gelato on the Piazzo di San Marco, then jump on your Vespa to meet your love, and when night sets, get married on a yacht. Why not?...

♥

I've always been a "shoe girl" and I probably love my shoes too much because I keep wearing them untill they fall apart and even then I've never been quite capable of letting them go. I know, I know,... How sad am I?:) Well, obviously my dearest friend Laura also had this thought, so she secretly gave all my old (beloved) shoes to chararty and took me shopping.

Result? These wonderful Jane Austen-ish thrifted pair of shoes. They remind me of those old romantic times, where I would wear some utterly enchanting Charles Anastase dress (look at me pretending I can actually afford such a dress), be in Italy feeling like Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday and "Have some dripping gelato on the Piazzo di San Marco, then jump on my Vespa to meet my love, and when night sets, get married on a yacht. Why not?"

Want to come with me? xx

And I’d like to say a huge huge thank you to everybody that replied to the last post, you’re all such beauties and made me realise why I love blogging, I couldn’t even wait until tomorrow to post up these shoes (and my own photographs)! I have read and respond to each and every comment with joy and I wish I could take you all out eating! But because I can't do that, I've put you all on my link page and wrote something about all of you. 

still not a great blogger...

...Fold some paper boats, maybe one will carry you out to sea where you can watch the stars through your kaleidoscope...

Family Affairs (literally, a mother and daughter partnership!) have one of the most beautiful lookbooks i’ve been lucky enough to stumble across. Of course, the clothes are beautiful themselves, but beautiful pictures always ’seal the deal’ for me. There is nothing like beautiful imagery to get me interested in a collection, but Family Affair doesn’t stop there – alongside each picture they detail what the model is wearing, just how it fits, a sugary sweet description of how and where the clothing should be worn and a poignant lyric to match.

 

Reading those beautiful descriptions sent me off into a little Daphne wonderland where all I wanted to do was write postcards, read books and eat cake, unfortunately the idea of me being so reallyreallyreally bad at this blogging-thing pulls me right back to the real world. I am so sorry for all these useless posts I've been posting up this last month and I promise that I'm working on photographs, drawings, bookreviews and anything I actually did all by myself, because honestly; how boring must it be for you beauties to read something you've probably read 100 times before?! So from now on; excpect posts with only my own photographs in it. Or should I just stop entirely? xx

PS: I am planning on giving away one of my drawings! If you want it, just comment here. : )
