29th of May 2012
Righty ho, so its been more than 3 months since my last blog and I have to admit I'm utterly ashamed of that. I have many reasons. But mainly one.
So in March, I got offered a new job- the perfect job for me in fact... So I took it! But that meant my notice period would be spent mainly in the Netherlands. Not really a problem for the shoe a day thing... except that for some reason my mobile wouldnt work with the wireless and I couldnt upload any pictures for most of March. Which then meant I could potentially be spending April catching up. Except I started my new job then and I wanted to focus on that and was worn out from information overload.
I then had May as an option and if I'm being honest, I got lazy.
So today, 29th May 2012 I am vowing to re-ignite the flame of shoes and start blogging again. I'm not going to make any insane promises about updating daily. Lets face it, although I have no life, I might be busy or tired or maybe out. Or maybe wearing a repeat pair of shoes because I've had to (e.g. I have a meeting where I cant wear clown red shoes) so I'll update when I can until every pair of shoes I own have been written about. Hopefully this year :) Sound fair? Well its tough if it doesnt! :-P
So today has been glorious weather again. Well- better than its been for a while but not as fab as the weather at the weekend. The lovely glorious sunshine has meant panic across the land where females across the nation have been forced to paint their toenails and bare their feet! For me this is the norm, I have been known to wear open toed shoes in January. (you know this) and I try to take relatively good care of my feet (I mean, I abuse them so much normally cramming them into stupid shoes and trotting about in stilts all day that I should really) so today it was only appropriate to join the nation with a pair of open toed wedges. All the benefit of the heel, with all the benefit of the air... breezy :P
The pictures a bit dingy and it looks like my professional pedicure (done last night last thing before bed so I wouldnt smudge them) is chipped, but its a reflection. Theres also too much foot on display for my liking. yuk! But here you go, this is todays shoes. I had teamed them with a lovely linen skirt and shirt. I then proceeded to spill smoothie on myself as if trying to shower in it... (as you do! grrr) so I had to make a quick change into a black skirt, shirt and waistcoat. It soooo didnt go. Oh well. It happens.
Tomorrow IS another day. And I'm already planning ahead for those too :)
Love always,
Tishoo xx

Despite it only being Thursday, I woke up with that 'Friday' feeling and decided I'd wear ridiculously high shoes to work- why not :)
I bought these in Den Haag, the Netherlands. They were in the sale and I was instantly hooked on them. They're so sexy and shiny- I had to have them. So I did.
The first few times I wore these, I couldnt walk in them, however they now seem to be bizairrely comfortable!
But I do have to stop walking over the mud in them- they're far too high and shiney to be tainted with mud!!
And obviously with the addition of my favourite hoisery. :)
But still so VERY high...

Never one to let a disappointing day get me down I decided to keep the romance theme going with another pair of red shoes.
I didnt pay very much for these shoes but I do love them. They're a lovely bright red in a soft velvety texture. Very vivid. And they do make people smile (especially me)
So I wore these to the office in the hope that all my cards had been delivered to my desk in the UK. Sigh. Nothing. But at least I had my red shoes on :)

Valentines day, how romantic, how lovely, how disappointing I didnt get any cards!! :(
I spent the majority of the day working hard trying to get my mailbox emptied down (a no-win battle these days) and then went to the airport to get my nice romantic flight home. Still with no cards.
However, romance is not completely dead. I decided to go for a nice pair of red shoes- these shoes were what I wore to my Dads wedding a couple of years back (thats where the photos from actually) and they caused rather a stir in that my sister ended up taking a photo of my shoes and missing some of the vows. Whoops ;)

Well what a lovely way to start a day in Amsterdam- its pouring down with rain and leaving the floor all 'glad' (dutch for... slippery) and to top it off I've got rather a sore head this morning after indulging in one-too-many cocktails with a very good friend of mine (Thanks CC) but after getting caught out last time in Amsterdam with the clock and hour difference etc- I set my alarm very early so I could get to my course for 8.30am.
And after arriving at 8.15 I found out the course didnt start until 10.30. GRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRGGHGGGGGGHHHHHH. So I had to sit around trying to work from my smart phone and get a few things taken care of, the whole time wishing I'd known and taken a few more hours to sleep!
I managed to get through the day and my brief stop at the shop on the way in meant I had enough water to undo the previous nights damage. Phew.
So all in good time to ... meet my brother for dinner!!! In a bizairre twist of fate my brother had decided he and his girlfriend would have a nice romantic trip to Amsterdam for valentines day. I dont think he was counting on his big sister also being there and tagging along. But thats what he got!
Now whilst I do love todays shoes, its with great sadness that I explain that they are in fact... the last of my converse. (well, so far) and these poor babies also need a jolly good wash. I wore new jeans with them once and it rained and the dye ran- I also spent a fair amount of time going through mud, snow and ice in these too so they're a bit wrecked, but nothing the washing machine wont fix. I hope...
And to prove I was in Amsterdam, look at the lovely bike and canal.;)
And back in the hotel I took another picture. My lovely, and rather bright... all stars :)

Yowsers what a day! I had to actually run today- I so very nearly missed my flight.
After getting 14:00 and 4pm muddled up... I ended up leaving the house very late for my flight. By the time I got onto the motorway I was only ever *just* going to make the flight- then there was an accident and I was further delayed. Then my bag was the only bag 'randomly' selected to do tests on- after having to wait behind a family with a baby who took approximately 9 years to get through the security gate. So when I finally got past security I pelted it down to the gate and just made it to get on the plane- Phew.
So thank goodness I'd decided on my 'easy-pack' flats for the airport- pack into a small space and mean I can rush about in flats.
Phew!

So the snow melted bit by bit and I decided to while away my weekend indoors cleaning. ;)
Saturday was a very busy day and I managed to just about rush and get my stuff ready for the trip to Amsterdam tomorrow. So easy living, but still with a bit of sparkle.
Love Always,
