Shoes and exes... Swedish Hasbeens :-D

Hello everyone,

yesterday I stumbled over Swedish Hasbeens and you know what? I found out that´s not a phrase to refer to in regard of my exes, it is a actual shoe brand :-D And a cute one. Unfortunately the shoes fit my style, but not my wallet, but their campaign is just too pretty not to show it! http://www.swedishhasbeens.com





Particulare faves...
















Needless to say I´d rather have the shoes than the exes ;-) Lovely, totally my style with their cute retro look and color range but really nothing I can afford.  Maybe they have a huuuuuuuuuge super-hyper-sale some day???

Or: Hello Swedish Hasbeens. Please hire this


retro model for the next campagn. Yes, you can pay me in shoes!

Shoe Porn

Hi Ladies,

at least you will understand my exitement about my bargain! I have been looking and lusting at Kandee Shoes (http://kandeeshoes.com) for months now, but there was no way I was able to afford them. However this pretty pair just went from 99 British Punds to.... 9,99! They are orange with pink soles. I can´t wait to get them and figure out which of my outfits does them justice. I heard the next collection will be 60s inspired so I´ll keep my eyes open for it.


I hope they´ll fit. Otherwise I will be a bad step sister and cut my toes off. Which wouldn´t look good with peep toes, but what the heck!

I have way too many shoe posts lately....

While I have no idea of anything I could combine the blue ones with I get quiet a few outfit ideas seeing the other ones...

A girl can dream, can´t she?!

Boots, boots, boots

Hi everyone!

I seriously do not know what is wrong with me lately... Usually I hate buying shoes (probably cause I never find something cute and sexy in my size, so I avoid the frustration of shoe-shopping altogether. Plus I hate the pain of walking in new shoes, but I found a good cream that avoids the shoes rubbing on my sensitive skin). However I got me some cute pseudo-boots (I don´t know wether I can call them boots as technically they are open, which usually boots aren´t). I had them on my amazon wish-list, but got them off ebay for less than the half price. Hurray.




The black ones should go with about every outfit. I´m usually not into boots and dresses combined, but it could actually work with those as they are more of a pumps/boots hybrid. I wasn´t sure about the red ones until I saw a pic where someone actually wears them. I think they´ll look fab with everything red, dark blue, black and maybe even something grey. I guess the red ones are more comfy as the heels aren´t that high as the black ones, but the back ones where so damn posh!

I guess it is fair to say that I shooted so much lately, a little goodie was totally due and at the low price I got them I couldn´t resist (at least this is what I tell myself to calm my conscience;-) Both boots are by "Pleaser". The red ones are from their latest range "Bordello".

P.s.: Let´s hope they fit!

New Shew

I bought myself some new shoes for the summer! All are ebay bargains. The cheapest was 3,50 € - the most expensive 17 €.





I slowly have enough of winter time.... where´s the spring???

All the heels Mom won´t buy for me...


Hi everyone,

I´m one of the few girls that don´t like shoe-shopping. Why? Cause I have damn huge feet for a girl and rarely ever find anything. Now what is huge? A German size 41 which is (I think) a US 9. Hence I can´t wear shoes with a triangle form as I´ll look like a clown (or at least feel like x-mas elves minus the ears). Often I also don´t like the style of the shoes in store and if I do than there´s still the size problem.

However this is the age of Internet and so I can browse the www for shoes that are actually my size. Alas.... The shipping costs put me down. Mostly shipping to me costs as much as the shoe itself. That is not cool. So I end up shoeless again... I put a few things on my amazon wishlist, but I doubt Mom will get me those for my b-day as she doesn´t like to see me in high heels ("You´ll fall and hurt yourself!!!", "How the hell can you walk in this shoes?"). The shoes are damn pretty though, so I share a few I have on my amazon and observing list...







Before you ask. No, my aunt will not buy them for me either (isn´t much into girlie things anyway) and John doesn´t even have a amazon account.

Remember: Every time you put a pair of heels on your tiny tiny feet a Sari will drop dead and die of envy. (But at least I probably have bigger boobs than you ;-)
