My Shoe Collection

Hello!
I don't have many pairs of shoes but I can honestly say that I really love every pair that I own, so today I would like to share them!
The thing that I love most about shoes is that they suit anybody. It doesn't matter whether you are a larger lady or a slimmer figure, or whether you tower above your peers, or are small enough to hide in the shadows, shoes will fit! Thankfully, I think my feet have finished growing, so all of my shoes should last me forever!


Suede Pull On Chelsea Boot - Boohoo
I bought these boots when on a night when I was having a nightmare about my wardrobe, and realised that I don't really have any clothes that are particularly 'grown up'. I bought them with a few parties in mind and when they arrived, I realised that parties are probably the only occasion that I will be able to wear them, as they are VERY high! I'm no pro at walking in heels, so I'm gonna need some more practice before I can wear them casually (if ever!)


 Ultimate 70's Platform Sandals - Next
I bought these beautiful heels for my Year 11 Ball as the dress that I'm hoping to wear is short, strapless and navy, so I thought they would go perfectly, although quite plainly...



1461 - Dr Martens
Well, these are currently my school shoes. But that doesn't mean that I don't love them as much as my others! Don't worry, they will continue to be worn after school finishes for study leave. (JUST TWO WEEKS heLp)
The only problem that I have found with these is that its really hard to find socks that look ok with them. I have tried bare footed, and lacy and frilly socks, but normal socks just.don't.work.



Park Lane Bead Suede Desert Boots - Asos
These boots are the newest to join the collection, after I had been searching for a pair for ages. I finally found these beauties on Asos, and fell in love, especially with the beads on the lace!


939 Ben Boot - Dr Martens
These are by far my most favourite shoes ever. Ever. A lovely Christmas present from my grandparents and I will love them forever.


Knackered Converse
I've had this pair for years, and they have suffered many accidents, rips and mud baths included (as you can probably see...) My go-to-shoe that fit with pretty much every outfit. Or so I like to think. But seriously comfortable and seriously tired.


Bow Moccasins - Fatface
Also quite old and worn out, I purchased these shoes for holidays thinking that they would be easy to slip on and look fab with dresses. I thought wrong. They would have been great if I'd worn them in a bit before we left, but unfortunately it didn't cross my mind and I had two weeks of pure pain walking around the tiny (but oh-so-long) back streets of Italy. Fab.


Griffin Mabel in green suede - Clarks
These shoes make my feet look freakily long, so I've sort of stopped wearing them as much, but for a period of time, these shoes were my staple. They go perfectly with black jeans (convenient, as I only have black jeans) and frilly socks, and I just adore the pink laces.

So, there you have it, my entire shoe wardrobe! (minus wellies and flip-flops, which I didn't think would be particularly interesting)

Favourite Shop - Luminoire

Hello!

Recently, I have been loving a small online business called Luminoire. I first discovered discovered this fab shop through their Instagram (links below), and I instantly fell in love and found myself buying a few items that night. However, after the initial excitement of the items arriving, the store sort of fell off my radar.
It wasn't until last week, when I was trawling from one website to another in search of a gorgeous necklace, that I remembered about Luminoire and their products that are perfect for me.

So, here's what I bought...



 Citrine Chunk Necklace - I adore this necklace purely because I have nothing like it, and I don't usually opt for gold jewellery, but I thought that it would look fab against black or greys, which make up most of my wardrobe...



Frilly Moon Silver Charm Necklace - This necklace is slightly shorter than others that I have, and rests just at my collarbone, which is handy because I like to layer necklaces and this is the perfect length to wear with longer ones


Silver Antler Penant - I bought this necklace to wear with the moon necklace, purely because I thought the lengths would work well together



I love each one of these necklaces: they are all amazing quality, completely unique and made with care


Note: Some of the products in the above picture were purchased ages ago and are no longer available for purchase in the store, hence I have not gone into detail about them. 
I thought they might be useful to show the range of products that Luminoire has to offer :)
