DAY TWENTY SIX
DAY TWENTY SIX: Grey, white and green paint-splatter espadrilles, Topshop
Firstly, I once again apologise for posting late. I didn’t get home until about 2:30am last night after flying back from my work trip. By that time, all I could do was kick off my shoes and fall into bed after a 22 hour day. Ouch. Anyway, on with the shoes. Oh look, another pair of espadrilles, I told you I was having a moment, didn’t I?
I bought these in Topshop on the same day as the gold woven leather sandals from Day 25. I dithered about which colour to get them in before eventually settling on the grey pair. Espadrilles were a good choice for my long day - we were up early shooting our final story before a short break and then packing up to make our flight. These are still a little tight on top but the canvas will soon give and after that, I have a feeling they won’t be leaving my feet much!
Worn with : Denim shorts, Zara; ‘Peace’ vest, Zadig & Voltaire; Green cropped parka jacket, River Island; Studded belt, Gap. Not pictured: Floral printed bag, Gap.

DAY NINETEEN
DAY NINETEEN: Grey cotton plimsolls, New Look (2009)
Remember how the other day I was raving about New Look shoes and how incredibly comfortable they are? Well, that doesn’t apply to this pair. These are the devil in shoe form. When I put them on this morning, they were fine. By the time I’d finished my appointments they’d completely shredded my feet and I was half a pack of plasters down. I’ve spent the whole day looking like a Michael Jackson fan after I had to put on thick white towelling socks with them to stop them from actually demolishing my feet entirely. Today was really NOT the day for this to happen but ho hum, you wear and learn - I have most definitely learnt never to wear these again without tights/socks between me and the beasts.
Worn with: Black skinny jeans, Topshop; White cotton vest, H&M; Blue check shirt, Topman; Studded belt, Banana Republic. Not pictured: Grey leather jacket, Topshop; UFO scarf, Topshop Unique; Black eel-skin bag, Prada; Plasters; Grimace.

DAY SEVEN
DAY SEVEN: Grey canvas Chuck Taylor All-Stars, Converse
Everyone loves a good pair of Converse, including me. I think I own about 15 pairs in various colours and designs, so you’ll probably see quite a few pairs on here, especially on weekend posts. Today, I did a mad dash around Westfield and then the supermarket in preparation of barbequeing again, so I pulled out one of my trusty grey pairs. They’re battered to kingdom come and the entire insides have worn away on the heel so I have to wear them with socks but I love them and can’t bring myself to chuck (pardon the pun) them away.
When I was at university and before the advent of ballet pumps, Converse were pretty much all I wore so they hold a special place in my heart and indeed, shoe collection. One of the best places to buy them is definitely Office, which has one of the biggest variations in terms of style and colour, as well as often having exclusive designs - I’ve got the leopard print pair firmly in my sights.
Worn with: Black ‘Baxter’ jeans, Topshop; Grey and navy stripe jumper, Boden. Not pictured: Green parka-style jacket, River Island; Grey/green studded bag, Max C
