The moment that I have been waiting for has finally arrived... My trip to shoe heaven with one of my fellow shoe lovers!
You would not actually believe how long we were there, and we still wanted more!
My friend and I arrived at Harrods at 12 noon.. We went straight to Shoe Heaven. At 2.30pm we took a break from shoe heaven to sip on some Veuve Clicquot at the Champagne Bar, after demolishing these and feeling quite tipsy- as shoe shopping was far more important than eating (and also I'm a massive lightweight!) we went straight back to the 5th floor- shoe heaven. We then stayed there until 5pm.. Yes, I'm ashamed (not ashamed) to say that we spent almost 5 hours on one floor of harrods.
So 5 hours and about 30 pairs of shoes tried on later, we found.. The shoe!
I had a little bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment, and I have to admit, it felt fantastic. I just can't stop looking at them!
On entering the shop I thought I knew what I wanted. I had decided that suede was definitely in, so I was buying suede shoes, however, as you know I love my Chritian Louboutin and I had every intention of buying from them.. But then I fell in love on way over. Love in the shape of Manolo Blahnik.
I have always loved this designer and I love the iconic Hangisi satin pumps, but I'm saving those for my wedding day!
So the ones that both me and my friend fell in love with were the suede point toe pumps. They have them in every colour of the rainbow.. and that was the problem. My shopaholic/shoeaholic friend fell in love with a red pair straight away, but me being me, couldn't decide which colour I loved most.
As soon as I walked in I loved the Navy pair and asked to try them on, however they did not have my size, so I started looking at a deep brick colour and a mauve pair, which is apparently going to be the IN colour of the season! We discovered in my trying on parade that I had to go a size smaller in Manolo's so the very attentive assistant tottered off to get me a size smaller, I was really liking the Mauve option by this point. To my surprise, he came back with my size in the navy!!
Now what do I do!! I like them both, I want to be greedy and buy them both.. I know my boyfriend would probably leave me there and then in I came back with two pairs!
After a long deliberation and strutting up and down the various shoe designers departments, I decided to stick with my gut and go for the navy. They are elegant, sophisticated and sassy and I LOVE them!!
Here are my beauties.. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Shoe heaven gets a 10/10 from me, the service was phenomenal and we really enjoyed ourselves- a trip recommended by me, that's for sure!
Love life,
