A royal slip up? Puuhlease we have all done this!

Waking up with the Today show has it's perks some days. A few days ago they reported that Kate Middleton Duchess of Cambridge had slipped up royally, I expected her to have dropped an F Bomb or something by the way they were talking it up, I eagerly awaited the footage, and all they were referring to was Kate getting her stiletto heel caught in a grate.

It really made me laugh, this has happened so many times to me that I couldn't believe it made worldwide news headlines. No one cares when I do it? hahaha.

A few years ago I was asked to be my bestie's bridesmaid, she wasn't bothered with what style of shoes we wore as long as they were black. I picked an awesome pair featured here in one of my first blogs. I decided to 'wear them in', on my bestie's hens cruise, even though my bestie advised against it in case "something happened". Well, let me tell you it did happen, I survived the whole cruise wearing them, and as soon as I stepped off the boat onto the holey wharf, my stiletto went down so far in a crack that it almost broke my ankle and required 3 of us to pull it back out....thankfully I only knocked a little bit of the glitter off the heel, which I repaired with some $2 black nail polish and I was able to wear them all day and night for the wedding.

When has this happened to you? Did you face plant?

3 Pairs for $30 (Including Express Post)!

On Tuesday, during my lunch break I was bored - boredom generally leads to two things; 
eating and since I have started my new healthy eating plan that was out of the question,
or
shopping, so I decided to put the call out to all my Facebook likers for their favourite online shoe stores and was keen to spend up!

I need to say thank you to Mandy for suggesting "You are my Sunshine", although I thought initially that Mandy was cracking on to me, I checked out the website. To my surprise it was a website I was familiar with and that is because it was formally known as "Stucey Shoes".

I loved Stucey shoes previously, but they had fallen off my radar and sadly out of my newsfeed, so I missed the memo that they were changing their name to You are my Sunshine.

Needless to say, I was totally excited about rekindling my old flame with a new counterpart in You are my Sunshine. As I trolled through the pages of shoes I was awestruck in how inexpensive the shoes were, how could I forget THIS during the 2 years of seperation between us?!?!

Naturally I purchased 3 pairs of shoes in 10 minutes, check them out below, and the best part they were only $5 each + $15 in total to post and they arrived TODAY - only 2 days after I ordered them.

Also, this shoe purchase got me back in the game, can you believe that I haven't bought any shoes since my trip to Melbourne in January?? Read all about them here.

Do yourself a favour and check out "You are my Sunshine" they definitely are worth a look!

Shrinking feet - Oh my!

At the consultation with my orthopeadic surgeon a few weeks ago I was told that I would be on crutches for 2 weeks after my surgery :( it made me realise that I had to drop some Kgs so I could actually use them - although the thought of making my boyfriend carry me around for 2 weeks did cross my mind and seemed like the easier option hehe. If you haven't read about my ankle injury that requires the operation, here is the link.

So, with the impending doom of 2 weeks on crutches and the pain that goes with it to my my arms, I joined a weightloss gym called Motivating Health on the 22nd February and set myself a goal to lose 10kg before my surgery on the 1st of May. I have been working hard at my new lifestyle plan and it is completely working!! I have lost 3.7kgs in just under 2 weeks hooooooray.

Unfortunately as anyone who has tried to lose weight before knows it ALWAYS comes off the parts of the body that you don't want it to ie breasticles and in my case my feet!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

This means I could potentially have 100+ pairs of shoes that won't fit me correctly anymore :(
Before you all start cheering about my iminent fire sale. Please recall my previous blog post here about party feet, hopefully they will get me through the initial weightloss and the weight then begins to shift from the places that need it like my butt!!!

Vegan shoes are appetising

You may recall a few months ago, I wrote an entry about some "Pony Hair" shoes I had found in a shop - check it out here. Since then I still feel ill when I think about animals being used in the production of shoes and clothing.

Being a shoe addict, I am constantly referred to (Thanks Facebook) to shoe pages and I came across this one ----> Shoe Envy check it out.

When first opening the page I was greeted by the cutest little sloth ever, I love them, so I knew I was on a winner :D.

Not only are their shoes "vegan" meaning there are no animal based products in them, including the glue, but they also donate a portion of their sales to relevant animal charities! What a great feel good way to buy shoes!

I feel like the below pair of flats might be the perfect pair to get me walking again after my ankle operation in May and the second pair when I am ready to climb the stiletto ladder again - what do you think?
