Licorice 2 Flats - Kurt Geiger (£45.00)

Lets be frank here, i'm notoriously shite at walking in heels. I've honestly giving up trying, i can however accomplish a brisk walk/jog really quite well, but that really doesn't bode all that well when you are doing your best to look effortlessly fabulous. Also adding a gammy knee (see here) into the already tricky equation and your right up sh*t creak. But its not all doom and gloom, for i like to whip out my trusty killer pair of flats. Be that the patent black pointed pair, or the nude French Sole rip offs, or my latest purchase the Miu Miu-esk embellished Kurt Geiger 'Licorice' pumps. A dainty gold glitter pumps adorned with an ultra feminine baby pink bow, disgustingly sweet but the perfect accomplice to my pinky/neutral dresses. Let the summer evenings commence..


Hair Pins - Kurt Geiger (£2.00 per pack)

I finally whipped out my Kurt Geiger gift card from Elle magazine that was loaded with £20 credit, plus i used a sneaky little code from Laura 'KGWELCOME10', simply fill your basket with fifty pounds work of pretty shoes and bobs your uncle you save twenty squid. So both discounts you can imagine i snapped up rather a bargain - hence the hair pins to bump up the price.

I'm seriously lusting after these and these, so may do another order some time in the future with the sneak welcome code again. Can i just point out what amazing customer service KG have? I originally ordered these in a six, but being a pesky 5 and a half, they were too big. In normal cases like Topshop you have to return by post and re-order, but KG will exchange and send you another size for free, now thats what i call good service.

Did you receive a Kurt Geiger voucher from Elle, if so what did you snap up?

*Just for reference, if some Miu Miu heels should pass my way by any chance - i'm sure i can give the whole learning to walk in heels another go..

  7. They are so pretty! Another Miu Miu lover here but I am not sure whether I could spend several hundred pounds on shoes I'd hardly ever wear!
    I twisted my ankle really badly last year just before my graduation (I thought I'd broken it and couldn't walk properly for weeks!) so I had to rely on sparkly flats for nights out for a good while. I got used to being tiny next to my rather tall friends and I hardly ever wear heels out now!
    P.S. Thanks for the link!
