Partnered with a friendly sole


Happy New Year lovelys,


   Blog time has arrived and I’m feeling the need to talk about the two most important things in my life at the moment as we enter the new exciting year of 2012… my awesome friends and my other equally awesome friends of the foot style kind, shoes. May I start off by filling you all into a little shoe success secret of the Louboutin kind that if any of you have any Christmas money left over or want a buy when your student loan hits the bank this month these are definitely needed to fill that gap in your wardrobe…http://www.mall4louboutin.com. Classic and beautiful!

   As well as these little stunners another great purchase this month is these beautiful Vivienne Westwood Melissa heels which if I’m honest are beyond beautiful and have definitely made my life complete for the small sum of £80 at www.cruisefashion.co.uk - all the result of some hard working revision online or should I say neglection of revision ha.

  Besides these shoe filled treats, I wanted to take the chance to reflect on some incredible people in my life, my friends who whether an outfit disaster, guy inflicted tears or an exam pained stressy fit are there for me no matter what. These amazing people know who they are without me having to name them and most definitely deserve a big shout out of some kind if not a glitzy style award for their awesomeness so I thought I’d take a second to mention them and dedicate this post to them as we enter a new year and reflect on the kindness and love of those from the previous one.

Now I have a question, a rather interesting one which I’m pretty sure every one of you girls will have asked yourselves or come in to the situation of at some point in time of whether it is ever ok to see a friend as more than just a friend, whether you can ever cross that boundary without it leading to something similar to that of a natural disaster. It’s like when we make the bold decision to put on that disco styled mini dress from the fashionably colourful age of the 70s in a time where eco-friendly designs and recyclable clothing is fast becoming a way of life in today’s culture, where fashion is constantly evolving, constantly changing and moving forward with the times. So is this the same with friendship? Is it sensible to make the decision to be more than just friends with that guy in your life who makes you happy or is it part of the process of an evolving friendship? Questions like “what if this ends in tragedy” are similar to the question of  whether this outfit has the disaster potential of being a fashion choice gone wrong (not to mention any names but you only need to look at the standard copy of Heat magazine or Ok to find your answer there.)  And what if it ruins the friendship you once had with that guy?  And what will other people think, the rest of your friends?

   An important thing to mention here is that just because someone makes the wrong fashion choice in a certain era, it doesn’t necessarily mean that that style won’t come back in fashion one day soon? And so is this the same with an evolving friendship? Maybe a friendship can never truly be ruined by taking that plunge in to a relationship but only really has the potential to be a fashion style disaster if you’re not careful with the clothing (relationship) choices you make. Maybe, if it feels right it can’t be wrong. Similarly to these fashion casualties, these felt like the right decision for the people who chose these outfits at the time so maybe it might not be the right choice for those reviewing them but it is the right choice for the person wearing it. Maybe we shouldn’t care about people judging our decisions on the clothes we wear or the relationships we form, maybe we should just take those risks anyway. Finding a relationship in a friend can be like finding a pair of manolo blanik strappys in a sale. Maybe a friendship becoming more than a friendship is like the ultimate shoe sale…  It kills two birds with one stone and makes you more than happy that you found something so beautiful in something just as great. We take risks in what we wear all the time so why not take risks in our relationships? Why not do what we feel is right and forget the potential consequences?
