Spring Shoes

Hi There~

It's been awhile since my last posting. I will try to update more often!
How are you enjoying your spring so far? Have you been trying new colors to match the season yet?
Well I have!
Here are two shoes I wanted to share with you that I've been loving.
The first one is actually my first "colored" pair of shoes. I don't usually wear shoes with -loud- colors. But now I think it's fun to brighten a plain outfit! What do you think?

"Style Over Fashion" ~ Yull Shoes


I was inspired when I read a story about Sarah Watkinson and Yull Shoes.  

Started since March 2011 after a year-and-a-half of saving at the age of 21, Sarah managed to save up and launch her business of shoes.  She encourages the younger generation to do the same if they really want to make something work.  Sarah expresses that “it’s very easy to put things off and then before you know it you have children and a mortgage and you can’t do it. If you really want to do something then you should go for it.”
Pulling from classic shoe designs as inspiration, with Coco Chanel being Sarah's favourite designer.  She explains that the ethos of the brand is 'style over fashion.' Every Yull shoe is created with classic designs, and will last forever no matter what the fashion trends are at the time. Each shoe comes with a label with her inspiration and has a name, it is also branded with a union jack at the base of each shoe to show its Britishness.
Sarah's future endeavors include selling her own line of handbags and other accessories; and for Christmas this year she is launching a "Christmas Shoe" that is going to raise money for an English charity, shelter that helps the homeless.



I find these shoes to be very fashionable and very different.  It's something worth checking out.
Cheers to Yull Shoes!

Shoes...Shoes..Shoes...

So I bought a pair of heels today for an awesome price of 14 dollars. I was so in love with them that I didn't even bother to walk in them when I tried it on.  Now that I'm home and happily trying them on again.....they are too big on me!! I'm soo bummed!! I'm normally a size 7, and they are a size 7.  I even tried it on in the store too.  Now why is it slipping out of my feet when I'm walking in them.....aHHHHH
Moral of the story - Do not make decisions with haste.  Now I need to go searching for some insoles and pray it works so I can fit into these super cute heels, because they were the last ones in stock and in that style and color. I can't imagine returning these. =/

UPDATE: I tried purchasing some heel support and gel insoles today, and sadly nothing is working.  What I must do now is return these shoes.  So Sad....
