Whatever The Weather, We Gon' Be Better Together...

Monthly Want - April!!


Hey everyone!!
It's Saturday!!
Now usually this is a good thing to most people, unfortunately not so much for me (but we won't get in to that). If you're looking at the date and thinking 'hang on a minute aren't you a bit early?' then you would be right. As you know my 'Monthly Wants' usually appears on the 23rd (my blogs anniversary); but I have a pretty busy week next week so I thought I would do it now. I'm on a roll with updating my blog, so I thought I might as well keep going.
This is the one post that I don't really obsess over; I usually just pick what I want at the time I do this. I think it's better to be spontaneous then to plan everything out (I've learnt that the hard way). So I wanted to pick something that has kind of been on my mind for a while...or perhaps something that was in a dream of mine.
How insane are these shoes??
I remember the first time I saw these on The Style Playlist. Courtney was rocking them in an outfit (well she rocks every outfit) and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There is something so fabulous about these shoes and also something so completely terrifying. Now as you guys know I'm not usually a fan of heels, I prefer my feet to stay firmly on the ground but I think something is changing. At the moment the only shoes I seem to be attracted to are heels. From chunky to strappy and even a classic court shoe, I'm just loving them all. Now this isn't really a surprise as I am a girl and by default we love shoes; but I'm usually a bag person but it seems not anymore. These UNIF - Hellbounds are a thing of dreams and also nightmares. They are a visually stunning shoe but they also inflict fear upon me. The Hellbounds are certainly an expression of who you are and how you dress. Although they are owned by (probably) half of the bloggers you or I follow, they are still a rarely seen shoe especially over here in England. The Hellbound is not a functioning shoe and let's face it they don't look practical, but we hear evidence to contradict both of those statements. When I hear bloggers talk about how comfortable they are etc, I almost can believe what I'm hearing/seeing. Can a shoe that looks like this really be comfortable?? Well if we think about it, I didn't quite believe that the Jeffrey Campbell Litas would be comfortable. Now as an owner of a pair of Litas I can officially say that they are comfortable and amazing. The thing is they may look as if you could fall over and break your ankle at any moment, but we both know that's not true (well depending on how clumsy you are). There may be a giant heel and platform, but trust me those are two good things as they are going to save your feet. Whether it's with a floral dress, high waisted shorts or disco pants, these shoes will go with absolutely everything. So if you are able to hunt these down and you’re able to walk in them, give me a call and you can teach me!!
This pair of shoes will always be a want of mine.
Let's face it there's no way in hell I'd ever be able to walk in these, maybe that's why they're called Hellbounds…
