Ok - it’s official…January is over, February has begun and you are now allowed to start thinking about your Summer wardrobe but more importantly investing in the perfect Summer shoes for every occasion!!

Now in my world, (which is probably not normal and completely shoe obsessed,) this time of year has me trawling to make sure I have the perfect Wedge…obviously one in every colour would be ideal but credit crunch and all that….

So we have decided to list the perfect Top 5 wedges, any of which will serve you for probably 75% of your entire wardrobe for the Summer!  So, whilst not always the cheapest on the block, value per wear obviously amounts to a good buy!!!

So in no particular order:

1.  Christian Louboutin…the wedge is the sensible end of his range and a shoe that fits all shapes unlike the rest of his collection….we are loving a variety this season but feel the most wearable and therefore essential is this one!

2.  With the nautical feel still running high, and a lot of red white and blue flying around, these gorgeous red patent beauties from Miu Miu are just the trick!!

3.   Anything from the Wedge Kings themselves Castaner.. the best value, the most comfortable and this is definately cause for one in every colour….

4.  Clements Ribeiro Spring Summer 2010…not just the wedges, the entire collection has got my name on it…small issue of budget but hey there’s £115 million up for grabs this weekend on Euromillions so that should cover it!!

 5. And last but not leastly….even good old M&S you can rely on - cheap and cheerful and really quite Miu Miu’esque!!!

So there you have it….a shoe for all seasons….well Summer anyway xxxx

There’s an Angel…..you know we love a lyric….but right now I wish there was an Angel…it’s 27th of January and this very fortunate girl ie. moi, has just been told she shall go to the Ball - in other words, I shall be going to the Brits again this year!

Now in my time, (and I don’t wish to blag…but I guess I am) I have been to a lot of Brit Awards - some years I have been working on them so the pressure of an outfit comes down to Converse sneakers, a big thick coat cos it always snows and they don’t turn the heating on anywhere till show time and hair looking like you’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards!

But in the latter years when I haven’t had to run around like a loon the pressure remains as bad as ever in what to wear…but this year there’s another one to contend with…how can I lose enough weight to get in to a frock I haven’t bought yet but know I will but not until I’ve shifted a good few pounds!

Now you’re gonna say …exercise like a maniac, don’t eat bread, potatoes, carbs, sugar, dairy, meat, and don’t drink…well the downside of that is 1 you are hungry, 2 you are no fun, 3 there’s mutiny in the family due to no food on the table and 4 quite frankly it’s never going to happen!

So perhaps with our old friend Robbie winning the big prize this year, that Angel he keeps singing about will come down and cast her magic wand (or be armed with Magic knickers!|) and all will well!

Failing that, I’ll just have to buy a tent dress…let’s get the Elle Guide to what’s in this season (Feb issue) and trawl till I find one! Budget obviously tossed aside in this instance and switch off when Husband insists I do not need to purchase as I have a wardrobe full!!!

As if…..xx

Well folks it’s Official… we are bored with the snow!  Don’t want to be Bah Humbug about it all but it’s too much now… I am not in a chalet with a gorgeous ski instructor or drinking a nice hot toddy and my bloomin…..heating has packed up in the office which equally does not embrace me to the snow!

So what better way to cheer me up than to start thinking about my Summer hols and First Choice have come up with a sneakily good way to making me part with my money!  Apparently January 18th is the most depressing day of the year!  (who thinks of these things…)

So if you book your holiday through First Choice on the 18th January, they will kindly send you a voucher in the post for a free Spray Tan with the Tanning Shop! Now that’s quite a nice idea isn’t it!!

Christian Cull from First Choice says:

“Everyone needs something to look forward to especially in January, and just knowing you have a holiday booked can instantly lift your mood. So once you’ve chosen which wonderful holiday destination you’d like to go to this year head down to The Tanning Shop and get that ‘just off the beach’ golden glow to keep you in the holiday mood through the rest of January.”

Ciaran Mooney from The Tanning Shop says:

We are please to be supporting First Choice in lifting spirits at this time of the year. Many of our customers visit us before they go on holidays and it is clear the lift that people get by having something to look forward to.

A California Tan Spray at The Tanning Shop is perfect way to beat the winter blues”.

Bookings can be made at www.firstchoice.co.uk. NB. One voucher per booking only and only original voucher -  no copies!! And the voucher is redeemable at any of the Tanning Shop outlets across the country for Spray Tan only and is valid for 6 months from that date.  No cash value and By Appointment only.

There!  All details there and now it just remains for me to decide where to go….mmmmm…happy holiday hunting!!
