Are you a member of Shoedazzle yet?

Have you heard of Shoedazzle? If you haven't yet that's not a surprise because it's only been in the UK for 2 months. Its an online shoe boutique founded by Kim Kardarshian (a reality TV star). It's not the same as those normal online shoe boutique where you click on the product you want, put it in your basket and checkout. The difference is that every month a shoe stylist from Shoedazzle will choose 5 pairs of shoes that is your style- can be either boots, heels, sandals or flats, etc- and they are £39.95 each. So how do they know your style? Well, first you have to sign up- it's free- then they will tell you to take a short questionnaire about your style. The answers you give will allow them to assess your style and based on the answers they will choose shoes, handbags and jewellery for you to choose each month. You know what, I can tell you the style questionnaire does really work. They always give me a gorgeous selection of shoes, ones that are just so me which makes it even harder for me to choose. For more info on Shoedazzle click on the link:

Are you interested already and want to sign up? Here's my invitation: Click here to open this invitation
I made my first order the other day and it arrived two days later, which I fLabelsind pretty quick (free delivery which is even better). I didn't choose the shoes from my showroom, not that I didn't like them but I wanted the Evangeline stiletto which apparently they said it almost made to my top five. It was only £31, great price and quality shoes-on your first order you get 20% off.


It looks gorgeous doesn't it?

That's how it looks on the website

Here's the shoe box
Leopard print insoles. 
 You will always find leopard print with the Kardashian's products. Clothes, shoes, bags, etc.

5 inch heels.
It's not the same red that is shown on the website but I'm still happy with it. Some people may find the studs on the heels a bit too much but for me that's the reason why I like it. I love OTT shoes lol



2 inch platform
I measured the platform and it is about 2 inch which makes it more comfortable to wear. In one of  my old blog posts, I mentioned about getting a pair of heels with high platform. If the heel is about 5 inch and the platform is about 2 inch then you're only walking in a 3 inch heel. I kept explaining that to my mum but still wasn't convinced. She's not happy at all that I got another pair of heels as it's not healthy for the feet and of course spending again. I don't think my boyfriend would be please either, he says the same things to me too lol. But shoes are girl's best friend so what do you expect!


It came with a free gift, make-up bag? Not sure what it's suppose to be but still can be useful.

People always say 'you get what you pay for', it's true. It is a good price but the material they used seems kind of fragile, can be easily scratched or even ripped. I haven't worn them yet so don't if it's a good pair of heels or not, will do a review when I do.

Are you interested now? Here's my invitation to Shoedazzle :Click Here now!

Upgrade your boots this Autumn/Winter

This post was actually written last year winter but never got round to finishing it but still valid because Vogue says so!

When it's Autumn/ Winter boots are everywhere. Last year knee-high boots/ over-the-knee boots (OTK boots) was the new trend but not many got involved. This year it is back again so make sure you get a pair too. But when boots goes higher than the knee or even up to your thighs, definitely not many people are brave enough to rock them.

I have both OTK boots and TH boots (thigh high boots). At first I wasn't sure about them because people were calling them 'hoe boots', 'prostitute boots' or whatever the names are for them. So I started off with OTK boots. Then I got used to them and kind of thought they're not fierce enough, so decided to be more daring and bought a pair of TH boots. And I absolutely love them. Not only are they sexy, they keep you really warm and makes your legs look lean and long.

Here's me wearing my thigh high boots, I think my outfit is quite nice lol. I wore it to clubbing but it seriously was a bad idea because my legs were sweating and just wasn't comfortable.

The black leather thigh high boots goes with anything and has a catwoman feel to it lol. OTK and TH boots looks great over jeans, with long coats (Trench coats are hot this year), long tops and dresses. If you choose to wear a skirt with a pair of OTK boots or with TH boots, it might not be easy because not everyone can pull it off. It really depends on the occasion, for example it won't be suitable if you're going out for lunch/ a casual day out.

I think Kim pulled it off really well. Looks very sexy, a great Halloween outfit. And yes, got my inspiration from her outfit.
Other A-List Celebs rocking TH boots
If you think its a bit too much or not confident enough to wear them. Start off with knee high boots, flats ones. Then move on to ones with heels and then thigh high ones.

Don't want to spend money on new pair of boots? Well if you've got a pair of normal boots that reaches just below your knees and they are folded (cuff) at the top like this one:

Here's a cheat. Unfold it and it will extend just on or above your knee depending on the length of your legs.

That's me wearing my mum's boots, she's got shorter legs than me so  the flap  goes just above her knees.

How to wear your stilettos comfortably?

Stilettos are girls' best friend, us girls would spend lots and lots of money on a pair of stilettos and probably have a wardrobe of them. It looks sexy but it hurts our toes and feet by the end of the day right? A lot of the times you would see girls holding their stilettos in their hands and walking bare footed after coming out of the club. Sometimes you get heels that are suppose to be your size but somehow its loose at the back, annoying!  So what are the solutions to all those stilettos problems?

I was watching a video where Tyra Banks was giving tips on how to wear those stilettos comfortably and wanted to share it with you girls.

1. Get stilettos with PLATFORMS!

I knew about this one already, I think most people do too. Basically you should get a pair with at least 1" platform. Like the one on the left. If you saw a pair of stilettos that were 5" and it had 1.5" of platform that means the heel is only 3.5".  So meaning you are only walking in a 3.5" stiletto, sounds better right? For extra comfort you could put those cushion for the ball of foot but it wouldn't look very nice if it was a pair of sandals.




2. Scratch the bottom of your shoes.
Sometimes when you buy a new pair of stilettos is always slippery because the bottom of the shoe is smooth it doesn't have those lines for grip. But you have to wear them out to get grip on the bottom and when you first wear them you would walk funny because you're trying not to slip right? Get a pair of scissors, keeping them closed and scratch the bottom of those shoes.

3. Put hairspray inside your shoes
Your stilettos is slippery inside or a little too big for you so you go buy those gel cushion and those heel shields to stop your foot from losing the shoe or slipping. (The most embarassing thing is when your shoes slips off  and you buckle while you walk in a busy street!) But sometimes, you're too busy or too lazy to go to the shops just to buy those gel slip-ins for your shoes so another solution is use HAIRSPRAY! (If you don't have that either then maybe you need to make an effort and go to the shops and get them lol.) Spray the inside of your shoes, let it dry and slip your foot in!

4. Practice walking in heels
You love those 5" stilettos but you just can't walk in them what can you do? Start from the bottom and work your way up! If you've never walked in heels before start with 1", just practice and work your way up. Always keep your body and legs straight, it makes your posture look more attractive. If you keep your legs straight, your butt will be moving like a see-saw which is what you want! SEXYYY!!
