HELLO LOVER AWARD

This fun award has been bestowed upon me by Finnish blogger Helena Halme  , who shares with us her life in England with energy and wit.

 The Hello Lover - award. 
Helena has proven a very hard act to follow: Magnificent shoes and great images. 

"According to Forty Not Out ( the initiator of this amusing and challenging award) the rules are: 
You show off seven pairs of your shoes and then pass the challenge onto seven other bloggers."
So, here goes.

First allow me to make a few comments before introducing my shoes:

HEELS: I almost never wear them. No, I am not 6 ft. tall. FAR from it. It's just that I would much rather walk, run, and climb and descend stairs without breaking my neck. And, taking my reasoning  further, even when I must be poised and cool and collected, and I don't need to run, i.e. in the evening, I cannot stand on heels any higher that an inch, (on the odd brave day, or on days I refuse to be the shortest one around  -and with the current heels, I am ALWAYS the shortest one around- I will give in to fashion trends and go to the somewhat dizzying height of 2 inches.  Tops...)

So, having explained the basics of my shoe purchases, here are the seven shoes I have chosen to share with you, some relatively old, some relatively new, all super comfortable, none super trendy, as in a-million-straps-and-8" heels-and-bright-green-suede trendy:

1)
Dressy easy

Embroidered flats I have had for a while now and the ones I wear with an all black outfit and a green, red or even black clutch.

2)

Dressy dinner

Short heels in gros grain with black snake accents on the heel.

3)

Very dressy

The dressiest : again short heel shoes with a ballet shoe colored ribbon to be wrapped around the ankle a few times.

4)

Serious client meeting

1/2" heels with grommets and nailheads in the most divine Hermes-red suede.

5)

Bright and fun and easy

The least expensive brightest ones: flats bought in Morocco with hand made pompoms. Shamefully IN-expensive. Absolute slippers.

6)

Summer in the city

The funkiest: snake skin loafers from Marrakesh that I can wear with almost anything from khakis to black linen pants. They, also, feel like slippers. Heaven.

7)

Summer on vacation

Sandals in the perfect shade of red. Easy slip-ons. Great with white linen.
