Shoe Collection

Good morning, happy Saturday! I thought I'd give you a close up of my shoe collection. I haven’t included the boring bits like school shoes or PE trainers because I only wanted to share the pieces I love with you. I decided to split my shoes into three categories; trainers, heels and boots, as well as some stunning shoes that I would love to add to my collection.

Let's start off with trainers, which is no doubt the biggest part of my collection. First I have the Nike Roshe One’s in black with a black tick, they cost £70 and are by far the comfiest trainers I have ever had! I've had these for over a year and I still get a lot of wear out of them. If you don't have a pair of shoes like these, I would definitely recommend getting some. Secondly, I have a pair of white low top Converse that were £45. I must admit, I don't find these shoes overly comfortable as I have quite wide feet and these shoes feel rather slim to me. However with that being said, I don't think anything looks more summery than a skater skirt and vest paired with white converse. Thirdly, continuing with the white theme, I have white Stan Smiths with green detailing, they cost £70. I was obsessed with these shoes for months, and when I finally got them they did not disappoint. For me, these are the perfect casual shoe. You can effortlessly slip them on with a pair of jogging bottoms if you need to nip to the shop, or slip them on the day after a sleepover when you walk home. Fourthly, and last up in this category, are my purple Puma Suede with yellow detail, which are retailed at £55 but kindly got handed down to me from a family member. They are virtually brand new, and I am yet to wear them. Do you have any suggestions of what I could wear them with? If so I would really appreciate it! I haven't owned a pair of shoes in purple nor yellow before, so I am unsure of what to match them with.

Continuing onto the next category, heels, which is the smallest part of my collection. I brought these black high heels from New Look for £19.99 with the intention of wearing them to a friends party. If you're like me and are just starting out in heels, I think a pair like these are a perfect pair to begin with. They are relatively inexpensive, versatile and have a thick heel for good support. I have worn these with black jeans and a bralet and on another occasion I wore them with a burgundy lace dress. Just a quick tip; it's always worth buying gel insoles and other similar items (located by the till in the New Look I visited) to increase the comfort of the heel - I don't think I would have been able to walk by the end of the night if it wasn't for these. A pair of heels that I can't stop lusting over are these  embroidered heeled boots by MADAME from Topshop which are £89. I love the embroidery trend and these are by far the most stunning embroidered piece I have seen! I like how they could be worn on a shopping trip or to a party depending on what you wore them with.  Another pair of shoes that I would love to add to my collection are these pink patent pointed court shoes which are £19.99. I have dreamed of owning a pair of these shoes for as long as I can remember, I just think they are so classy! The fact they are a wide fit is just the icing on the cake hahah! I think they are such a feminine shoe without being over the top or in your face.

Finally let's finish up with the boots category, of which I own two pairs. Firstly I'm going to talk about these black Chelsea boots from Primark that cost £10. I originally brought these because I needed a pair of smart shoes to wear to the Savoy for my grandma’s birthday, I hadn't anticipated that I would get so much wear out of these. I think they are really sophisticated, these shoes make me feel great whenever I wear them, and that's a lovely feeling to be able to say that about a pair of shoes. One of my favourite outfits to wear is these shoes, a pair of blue jeans, a grey turtleneck and a pink, purple and grey poncho. Lastly are my beloved black 1460’s Doc Martens which were £115. I brought these when I was experimenting with grunge fashion, when I moved on from that style I feared I wouldn't wear these shoes, although I could not have been more wrong! These boots are absolutely faultless, they are absolutely amazing quality and cannot even be compared with any other shoes I have ever owned. Admittedly they took a while to wear in but the blisters were definitely worth it as they are now the most comfortable, well fitting shoes I own. They say Doc Martens are shoes for life and I could not agree with this more, I've owned these for three years and I could never see myself parting from them. Doc Martens are perfect for winter as they are made for mud, snow, rain and whatever else the British weather throws at us in these cold months! I can't rave enough about them!

Phew, there we go! I hope you enjoyed finding out about my shoe collection in  depth. What shoes make up feel on top of the world?
