Today I fell in love

Last night I thought it might be love, this morning I knew it was definitely love. In fact I've never fallen so hard and fast as I did today. It's not love for a boy, baby or animal. I am in love with the most fantastic pair of shoes I have ever laid eyes on. They're not Jimmy's, Louboutin's or Atwood's but Rojas, a designer unknown to me and probably a lot of people, available at modcloth.com.

I like to imagine that a pair of ordinary black pumps were discovered by the little Lucky Charm leprechaun who took them and bedazzled them with gorgeous sparkly treats found at the end of his rainbow.

Delightfully tacky and defiantly not understated these are not for the shrinking wall flower. They deserve to be twirled around a dance floor, under a sparkly disco light, ending the night in a taxi with a handsome man.

I think I have found my ultimate Christmas party shoe. It would be happy days if only I could afford the $239 price tag. So I'm seriously thinking of making them myself. There is a similar pair of black courts from New Look for about £30 and with the addition of a bag of plastic gems and a tube of super glue I reckon I could create something similar. I didn't get a B in Textiles for nothing you know!

Vagazzling has taken off here in Essex, and obviously I need to keep up with the Essex crowd but I think I'll just cover my shoes in sparkly goods, much less hassle and sure to get more attention than a vagazzle.

Mod cloth have some really cool stuff, most of it is a reasonable price and they deliver to the UK. Check them out.
