Did you see Gwyneth Paltrow teetering on five inch stilletos in the press last week?
Want to copy her? Can't afford it? Yeah right, let the witch point you in the right direction.

OK so they cost £125,but come on, Gwyneth coughed up £2K for her's.

Nice! Do you know where a gal can get a pair of red peep-toes?

Barratts! I just bought the most beautiful pair of red satin peep toes from there, with concealed platforms and shiny patent stiletto heels. They're a bit difficult to walk in, but I didn't let that stop me - heck I didn't even let the fact that I'm between sizes in Barratts stop me, I just went for the 'insole and heel grips' approach to shoe fitting!

I've been amused to read the men in the press going crazy over Gwyneth's stilettos. One guy kept saying she was wearing eight-inch heels (which they're clearly not) - the next day he had printed a comment from the women in the office he worked in; that men clearly measure inches differently to women. Couldn't agree more ^__^

That reminds me of a joke.

Why are women crap at parking?
Cos men keep telling them this (move your fingers this distance apart)

Aldo have got some wonderful concealed platforms starting from just £70

ALDO shoes - ALDO women's footwear for all occasions: dress shoes, casual shoes and city shoes.

I'd recommend trying before buying, though. Aldo shoes just don't work for my feet I think I have unusual arches. x

*Sigh* So many lovely things, so little cash to spread around. I went out yesterday to get some material and buttons and instead found 3 corsets, a stole and a pile of the cutest pasties you've ever seen. Thank god my better judgement (and my credit card) told me to go home and think about it!
