Miss KG

I just wanted to share two of my favourite shoes from Miss KG at the moment.

Working with shoes all day just makes me want to buy so many of them and of the perks of the job is that I get to try them all on when they come in , only problem is I never want to take them off.

One of my favourite Miss KG shoes at the moment is called Harlequin.
Lots of customers ask me what these are like to walk in and the honest answer is that they are like walking in a wedge, they are actually really nice to wear and can imagine them not killing my feet on a night out.

I love the studs on the back of these the most and that there is an ankle strap, my feet always slip out of heels because of my high arch and it's really difficult to find shoes I love with a strap to hold my foot in.

I am also loving these boots by Miss KG called "Fuss"

You might be able to tell that I have a bit of a thing for the studded look. I think these will look great with skinny jeans or leggings and a biker jacket. 

There is a strong possibility that these are going to be my go to boots for the winter. 

Are there any Miss KG shoes/boots for AW12 that you're loving at the moment?

Nails

I haven't had many nails posts lately and that's because I've been getting them done professionally so they hardly ever change.

I have been having acrylic nails because mine never seem to grow and also I can't stand having chipped varnish. In one of my jobs painted nails isn't really allowed but in the other one painted, manicured nails are compulsory - this was causing me a nightmare!

I decided to have acrylics as it meant my nails were always neat and tidy for one job and well the other job couldn't tell me to take them off.

When I got back from my holiday a few weeks ago however the acrylics had caused a lot of damage to my nails as water had got trapped beneath the acrylics and had started an infection :( booo. Now don't get me wrong acrylics are awful for your nails and I was fully aware of this... I didn't realise that they could cause infections!

Therefore I am now no longer an acrylic nail lover.... my lovely nail technician Shannon has been trying to get me away from them for months and I never listened so this was the perfect opportunity for her to get me to try gellux.

Gellux is put on just like a nail varnish but is cured under a uv light so it dries instantly and does not chip, having it on my nails has also helped them grow and not break :) brilliant!

The advert for Gellux boats that it should last 15 days without chipping and dries instantly so it doesn't smudge.

Because of work I haven't been able to try out all the lovely colours on offer but in the new year I'm hoping to be able to take advantage of them.

Today was the second time of having gellux and I decided against french as it gets a bit boring and have hone for a really pale pink instead 


Do you like? I can't wait to try out some more exciting colours!

Kurt Geiger

Hello :)

It feels like ages since I've done a blog post and have lots of posts coming this weekend :)

This post is dedicated to my job. At the moment I'm working at Kurt Geiger until I find the right graduate job/get into the police force.

Now ever since I got my first part time job working at Faith Shoes I have developed an unhealthy shoe obsession and my bank account does not thank me for this.

Since I've worked at Kurt Geiger this has got sooooo bad and my discount is still not activated (silly HR!! ). But we are meant to wear heels to work so my manager got me some and I am extremely excited to have bought some lovely Nine West Heels which I have to say are THE most comfortable heel I have ever worn and since I wear them for many hours running backwards and forwards to the stockroom this is saying something.

These are my gorgeous shoes from Nine West called "Drought" 

I'm slowly getting used to this walking in heels thing, I've never been very good but things are improving and my shoe collection (that was already rather large) is growing and welcoming in some new members of the family!

What are your favourite Kurt Geiger shoes at the moment?
