Affordable Winter Shoes Lust List

25 October 2011

I probably have enough shoes to last me for a lifetime already, but my shopping weakness always has and always will lie on shoes. I must say that living in Britain with UK size 2 feet isn’t easy for a shoeaholic, so here is my very sad Affordable Winter Shoes Lust List, all starting from size 3. If you have bigger feet than me, do know that I’m so incredibly jealous of you – in a good way!

Tia Suedette Calf Length Boots

Boohoo.com – £25

These gorgeous suede boots have 11.5 cm heels and it looks like it has a platform at the front, which would make them really comfortable. They are very plain and they go with everything; it’s perfect for a girly daytime look or for a night out with a very sparkly outfit! I think I would wear the black I lot more, but the brown ones go with my new handbag :)

Katie Black Shearling Trimmed Crepe Wedge Knee High Boots

Boohoo.com – £40

These boots look so comfortable and warm! I love the ‘little’ 8.5 cm platform heel because it still gives me some height without being too hard work to walk. They are stylist, classic and I could see myself wearing these with black skinny jeans and a cream lace top; if only they had a size 2 pair :(

Edena Glitter Platform Stilletto Shoes in Black

Missguided – £29.99

Every girl needs a pair of over the top shoes, and these definitely wear the badge with pride! These shoes and a little black dress are everything you need for the perfect night out outfit. The heels are around 14 cm high and the platform at the front is a definitely ‘must-have’ to be able to walk in these without falling down.

Walera Fur Trim Boots in Brown

Missguided – £35.99

I love these, and it’s really difficult for me to like a pair of flat heeled boots, and even though this has teeny-tiny heels, it doesn’t really count as high heel boots, right? They about 25 cm tall, and I love the buckle detailing and the fur at the top. I think these would look gorgeous for a daytime casual winter look, with gloves, hat, scarf and all! :)

Simone Platform High Heeled Shoe in Nude Patent

Missguided – £34.99

There’s something really elegant about a pair of nude high heels, and these patent shoes are beyond gorgeous! They have the platform at the front and a whooping 14 cm heel. So classic and chic, I’m so in love with these shoes. Damn you tiny feet of mine :(

Wera Platform Leather Look Shoe Boots in Black

Missguiged – £40.99

Last but definitely not least, these leather boots are my favourite out of the whole selection! 16.5 cm heels, platform at the front, zip up detail at the inner ankle – what else could I ask for in a pair of ankle boots? I want them so much that I think I might even buy a size 3 and stuff them with insoles on the inside! :)

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
