Gathering up the latest celeb gossip magazines, and devouring online celebrity news – a favourite past time of mine. I can steal ideas from those that look great and make myself feel better about my own look when the celebs are having an off day! Of course, I will always feel a sense of envy that I’m not as skinny or as rich or as popular but what the hell – lets fake it!!
They point in the week where you can truly relax has become a bit of an enigma. We seem to spend all our time chasing after it while it gets further away. The trick is to learn to say NO! Carve yourself some time to unwind and recharge your batteries – that way, when you do get back to it, you’ll be better at whatever it is you are meant to be doing!
The black high heeled peep toe shoe is a staple of all women’s wardrobes. They not only give off a truly classy aura when teamed with a stunning evening dress but also have the flexibility of looking just as at home beneath jeans and jacket.
Add some chain jewellery and skinny jeans and you’re bordering on biker chick but when worn with a satin dress of any colour will look just as stunning – it really is up to you – take your pick – budget or blow out!

Let’s face it – there’s a little bit of rock chick in all of us – itching to get out!
Set you inner rock chick free with these black suede Singapore sling high heeled shoes from Office for £80. With their chain detailing they’ll give off just the right image:
Office, £80
Of course, it takes more than just the shoes to present your rock chick to the world. Try out his outfit I put together from High Street stores making the whole look affordable and show stealing:

Faith shoes are said to be going into administration which is sad because all those lovely shoes need to find a new home as soon as possible but is good news because all those lovely shoes need to find a new home as soon as possible – only more cheaply than before! Faith can no longer take orders online but stores are still operating with a 10% discount – give it a bit of time if you dare and we’ll probably see further reductions!
Faith, £95 (at the moment)
There are lots of days that are ‘uncategorized’ as such. You might be grabbing a bit of lunch with friends, dropping in on your sister for coffee, doing some window shopping to while away the hours (although I find it hardly ever stops at just window shopping but hey ho!).
These are the days when you still like to feel you’ve made an effort – afterall, you never know who you will bump into and you can bet your bottom dollar that the day you nip round the shops wearing your joggers and no make up is the day you’ll bump into your ex’s new girlfriend – aaargh! The trick is finding the balance that makes you look ‘thrown together’ in an effortless and stylish manner. Not much to ask is it?!
There is something quintessentially English about a stroll in the countryside and don’t we just love it here! Taking time out on a crisp, Autumn day to view the land, walk the dogs, inspect the horses or simply stroll down to the local pub – there’s nothing quite like it for relaxing.
I am LOVING these designer heels! With their quirky bamboo style 105mm heels and blue patent leather they are slightly different yet extremely stylish. Navy blue is a hot colour this season but it doesn’t mean we all have to look like sailors. Take a step away from the crowd of nautical looks and make smart navy blue yours with these shoes from Gucci for £510:

Now I have your attention, how about completing the look with this Temperley mini greek jersey dress from Harvey Nicholls priced at £595 and Oliver Peoples Sabina Crystal Neptune sunglasses, £235:
An interbreeding of Uggs and shoes have bought us the ultra comfy Shugs!
Here at Shoes for Show Offs we’re loving these ankle boots simply because they go with so much. Wear them with your jeans and a hoodie for summer chill out evenings or sling them on with shorts and t-shirts for summer days out. They’ll see you through Spring, Summer and Autumn and are available in black or taupe from Faith for a bargain £55!
The Shugs are a statement in themselves – just accessorise with the following:
denim shorts, River Island, £29.99
Dressing for the office is a bit of a minefield for women. We want to be taken seriously and we still like to show our feminine side. There is also a great deal of peer pressure in an office that is dominated by women. The worst thing you can do is to fall into the fashion trap of having to wear the latest outfit simply because it is in fashion. Better to get to know your own style, learn what suits you, what you can carry off best and then work it!
