Fashion and Shoes Inspiration For Christmas

"Women should be two things: Classy and fabulous."- Coco Chanel.

And it is true. Lately I have been really into the classy clothing style. Think of blouses, pencil skirts and ofcourse heels and ballerina flats which are the two most feminime shoes. And what is the best place to find inspiration? Yes! Pinterest and blogs of course. I collected three outfits from Pinterest which are very chic, yet casual and perfect for any time of the day. You can wear these outfits up and down and since the Christmas days and New Years Eve are coming up I'd like to share how to wear these up with some high heels in different styles.

The first pair is from Christian Louboutin. They are the exact same ones that Victoria Beckham is wearing in the second picture, but the colour is whine red. The second ones are from Gianvito Rossi. I love the fact that your feet are basically packed in these shoes. They are perfect for under a wide skirt or dress. The third ones are Aquazzura and they are little booties. How adorable! The last pair of shoes is a look-a-like of the Louboutins from Guiseppe Zanotti.

The prices are quite expensive, especially for these days. Think of Christmas, New Years Eve and (Sinterklaas)! So some budget look-a-like heels are the perfect solution!

The first one is not as high as the other three, but it is a very classy and simple heel. I think this one matches perfectly with the second outfit and could also be worn on an elegant pencil skirt. The second and third one are more down to earth, yet very posh. I would wear both of them with the first outfit to give it some more structure and the last pair is the same as the third ones, but in another colour. You could wear these with the last outfit to make it more bohemian chic. What do you think of these outfits?

Love, Zoë :)

Over here in England the trees are stripped bare and an icy chill is creepin' its way through the streets. The skies are grey and the sun appears to have gone into hibernation. My days are spent wrapped up in my candy floss coat, and my nights, in fluffy pj's. 

Any normal person would tell you they hated it. Any normal person would probably be dreaming of blue skies and sizzling hot beaches, but I'm not exactly what you'd call normal. You see, I have this problem which seems to flare up at this time of year. I'll try to rein it in but once the carols start singing and the dec's start swinging... well, it's impossible.

Christmas is fast upon us which transports every shopaholic to their heaven; a world where you need, and I mean really need, to shop. And there's no lack of goodies to help empty your purse. Up and down the high street, shop after shop are creating the most magical window displays, adverts, mannequin's and discount deals in a bid to win the shoppers heart.

I don't know about you guys, but I like to do something a little different for the ones I love. I like to give something unique, something I know they can't get anywhere else, something I know will remind them of me. And with the world of internet shopping at an all new high where better to find such goods?
