A Heeliday

On a quiet night in, a few weeks after moving into my new house, I managed to injure my foot/ankle. It was dark, I was happily running down the stairs, missed the last step and several months later I am still nursing it back to health.

I can still do most yoga poses, cycling is okay, but have to be careful about walking too much on it. Heels seem to be a big no-no - I've worn them twice since the incident and it set me way back in the healing process. 

Luckily my desire for glitter shoes and a trip home to the States led to a very wise investment from Target. I've been pairing them with dark skinny cords and low back sweaters with dangly earrings as my go-to look for the holidays. A bit boring, but the look is keeping me warm and dancing for hours, which really is more than you could ask for during the winter.

This is my current wish list...

I made the mistake of going to BT2 in search of shoes and couldn’t avert my eyes fast enough from COS. Temptation pushed four frocks into my arms and manhandled me into the fitting room.

I am totally in love with this dress. My poor housie has been subjected to me mentioning it frequently since Wednesday. Finally this morning it dawned on me that I have the perfect reason for its purchase...a christening! 

I am also in love with the ‘it’ polish for the season...again. I can’t decide if I am just a fashion marketer’s dream in this regard or if it’s the colour. Years ago I had this amazing Hard Candy polish in a deep, glittery olive green. This polish reminds me of it, but has a gunmetal edge and I’m a sucker for grey.

The YSL belt bag...though I don’t want it in patent and would prefer it in matte black, mink, camel or olive. I got a bicycle recently and well this is a perfect hands-free handbag. Yes the bike has a basket on the front of it, but...well...I just want it!

The brogues because I’ve been saying for ages that I want a pair of glittery brogues. I regretted not buying a pair a few years ago when they first hit the scene and now that they’re back, I will be sure to acquire a pair. 

The yoga mat because I actually need a new one, my current one is wearing out. I’m getting a slightly posh one this time as I go to yoga twice a week and a good mat is necessary.

Instant gratification must wait however as I am off to Texas on Wednesday for a best friend’s wedding...I’m a BM so was unable to use this as an excuse to spend a ridiculous amount of money on an outfit of my choice. Plus I never know what I’ll find in the States and it could turn this current wish list on its ear, except the yoga mat and the glittery brogues and the...
