Shoe Porn

For the love of shoes, whether it's stiletto, court or a simple ballerina flat we want them all, in every colour, and fine leather. We can't live without them nor can we live with too many, (my house is far too small for the number of shoes, boots, sandals and trainers I own)

My shoe addiction started a very long time ago. When mummy took me shopping she would  say "make sure to get two of everything, just in case", now what little girl was going to refuse that ever! She used to have different pairs of glasses to match her outfits. I did this until fairly recently, maybe there is still hope for my shoe habit. My mummy, my hero, I miss her dearly.

I think shoes tell a story about one's personality. Some of my favourites are KurtGeiger Carvela, ninewest, Guess, Manas Peragamo, Puralopez. My most recent purchase is Jessica Simpson ballerina flats from Houseoffraser VictoriaSquare Belfast.  Due to a knee injury I can't seem to carry off my usual 5inch heels with the agility and duration like I used to so on days when the knee feels like it needs a bit of oil I opt for the trendy stylish designs from Marksandspencer footglove and Clarks comfy range for stability.

My 5.2 height sometimes makes me long for an elongated leg. In pursuit of this I see in my future a pair of loubs and I know exactly where I going to be buying them from Harper. Long live the humble shoe.

The bene f it of a mascara   I called into the Victoria Square, House of Fraser today (you are probably asking, what again?), taking my lunch break in a shopping centre can be a very  refreshing, informative and also an expensive diversion so restraint is needed.   I went in with the intention of buying a new mascara after having seen the new They’re Real! Mascara (available at) on display the other day and I ended up getting a full make-up lesson from Reagan who works in the House of Fraser Victoria Square . Reagan was patient as she explained the various products she was using on me. I tend to stick with the same brand and am always nervous about trying out something new. Now, I can honestly say that I tend to stick with that particular brand after I have found what works for me and am reluctant to try new products, especially foundations. This experience gave me opportunity to see and feel what the products they looked like on my skin without feeling obliged to purch

Uptown Girl

Uptown Girl If you were to ask me where to go for a cocktail in Belfast, my first choice would have to be The Merchant Hotel, Waring Street Belfast.  I have been going to The Merchant ever since it first opened in 2007. I remember our first visit to The Great Room (2AA Rosettes), where we dined out from the very decadent a la carte menu.  There was a strict dress code at that time, men were not allowed in jeans, shorts or trainers, ladies also had o be suitably attired.  There was a sign posted on entry advising diners not to use their mobile phones to allow for complete intimacy to savour the delicious food.   The dress code is pretty relaxed now and the food is just as excellent as the first visit and there is a choice of different affordable menu options. For me going to the Merchant is an excuse to dress up because they have a knack of making you feel so special. M personal favourite is enjoying either an Apéritifs  or Digestifs in the cocktail lounge where you feel l
