Fun & Quirky Shoes!

-

I was at a lecture in May 2017, sitting in the front row waiting for the speaker to arrive.  Everyone was sitting in silence and waiting in anticipation for the lecture to begin.  None of us knew each other or what the speaker looked like.  It was a tense vibe with everyone not quite sure what to expect.  Then suddenly, in burst a young female professor wearing these:

From that moment on, I forgot all about the lecturer and what she was saying and just spent the next few hours wondering where she had bought those fabulous shoes!  At the end of the lecture she asked if we had any questions.  A few people asked some intelligent questions and I sat in silence thinking, I need to know where she got those shoes, but it's probably not the time to ask.  At the end of the lecture as she was packing up her materials, I went up and said, "I just have one more question....where did you get those gorgeous shoes?" Rather than looking at me like it was a completely irrelevant enquiry, her face lit up and she began gushing about her shoes!  It was then that I first learned of Hot Chocolate Design (HCD) shoes.  I don't clearly remember what the lecture was about that day, but I learnt a far more valuable lesson all about these fun and quirky shoes!!

I remember that the lecturer had warned me about how addictive these shoes are and that "Nobody ever stops at one pair!"  Turns out she was right!  I've already got eight pairs and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!  Not only are these shoes fun and quirky, but they are really comfortable to wear.  Also, just as importantly, wearing them makes me so happy!  They are always a talking point and people smile when they see them!  Just in case you're wondering, this is not a sponsored post!  I wish it was (and so does my husband! Ha!).  I just really love these shoes and was excited to share my collection with you!  Enjoy!

    You have such a great collection! I agree, life is too short to wear boring shoes, haha! Although most of mine are quite boring neutrals! The only time I've been fixated on a piece and had to have it was a bag, I get that moment a lot with handbags, haha!

    Hope that you are having a lovely weekend :) We had a noisy but fun kids birthday party today :)

    Wow I love your shoe collection. As always, I like them all. I guess I like the food ones the most. Maybe that is because it is nearly meal time!!! Good luck with the next purchases. Xxxx

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Burgundy & Beads!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
