Shoes of the Month

 With the new year having rolled swiftly in and the first paycheck of the month slowly depleting.. I have managed to add a new expenditure to my monthly budget. 

Shoes. 

I know... I know how completely unlike me that is.. but while going through my cupboards the other day I came to the rather depressing realization that I actually don't own many pairs of shoes! I do own a ginormous collection of heels but lets face it - I can't actually walk in them! 

I tend to stick to just one pair of shoes and wear them out until they are literally scattered with holes and scuff marks. 
My shoe closet looks like a grave-site. 
So... I have decided that once a month I am going to treat myself to a pair of comfortable, every day shoes. It's a new year and I'd like to start collecting something new.. what better than shoes????  This way, I can give each pair a break from time to time and hopefully lengthen their life-span.

These were this months pair... at an absolute steal of a price! They are from a shop called Mr. Price (a South African store) and are R99.99 which is the equivalent to £5 or roughly around about $9.00 (I got this exchange rate from the internet so who knows how accurate it really is!).

I think they are really cute and vintage - and the breathing holes make it so nice and airy for my feet too.  Best of all they are the sort of pump that will pretty much go with anything you wear. They are completely versatile and comfortable! One of the things I really adore about them is the pointed toe. I have never owned a pair of shoes with a pointed toe (besides boots!) so it makes for a nice change.


I'm really excited to bring this new monthly post onto the scene because.. well... a girl can never have too many shoes right!? So once a month I will have a new pair of shoes and by the end of 2014 my collection will be on its way to impressiveness!

Do you collect anything in specific and if so, what is it? 

See you on the flip side, bloggers'

Sorry this post was later than usual! 

Unfortunately I have been studying my tush off the last couple of days; completing assignment after assignment for my photo journalism course. So far it is going amazingly! I have yet to receive anything below 80% as a mark and have just submitted in my first short story to them for marking which I cannot wait to get feedback on. 

My next assignment that I need to begin working on tonight is definitely the toughy in the bunch so far though!!! 
They want me to:
a) Write a synopsis (plot / storyline) of a short story (ANY short story I want...) and a short summary of the main characters
b) Write a scene about half a page long in which they will get a vivid impression of the main character of the story. 
c) Write the short story no longer than 3 typed pages. 

My brain is SPINNING with so many awesome ideas for short stories and I just don't know which one to settle on! It is an extremely daunting thing to be able to literally pull anything out of your creative brain and put it onto paper for them. They aren't expecting it to be of any specific genre or follow or certain path.  ANYTHING. 
This task is both appealing to me and incredibly scary. I think it is going to be a ton of fun to be able to just let my creative juices flow and produce a brand new story but I hope I meet their standards! 

If anyone is interested in my short stories please do leave a comment below as I think if I get people who are interested in reading them and giving me feedback etc (or just wanting to kill some time in the evenings by reading a quick short story in the bath or before bed....) I may just publish them onto this blog. As previously mentioned, the novel I have written will never come onto this blog but short stories I see no super big problem with sharing with you all! All feedback would be much appreciated. 

Anywho - I must be off to my absolutely AWESOME new job! 

I solemnly swear to update my blog more often - I have been far too slack and I miss it so much!! I also miss all of you!!!! Thanks again and again and again for the constant support and love and comments! 

Peace, Love and Harmony to All!!! 

Namaste
