Fabulous foot candy from everyone's favorite quick fix fashion giant.
Okay so this post isn’t just to show off my rad still life display skills, it does actually have another point. See i hate feet, even my own, they freak me out!! People with foot fetishes, well, frankly, you freak me out too.... How can one find anything attractive never even mind sexual about those boney, veiny, creepy little (or large) ugly things at the end of our ankles. I find my own extra repulsive as I’ve got little handicap baby toes at the end of each foot, trust me painting my baby toe nails is a mammoth task that proves next or near impossible! Okay, so I will hand it to you babies feet are pretty adorable, but whats not adorable when its smooth, soft and teensy? So when I found the most amazing shoes on my last two trips to Penneys, the holy grail for the fashionable but budget impaired, I thought I’d spare you all the montage of freaky feet photo’s and take some funky arty ones instead. Yes your all Very welcome.
We’ve all at some stage, or in my case on a weekly basis, succumb to the cheap thrill charm of Penneys. My quick fix addiction has repeatedly peaked to a point where I’ve had to have my purse confiscated upon entry. You see I’m quite the little magpie and when i sincerely can’t afford to, I always convince myself that €2 or €3 for some new jewelry won’t hurt even tho I have 3 jewelry boxes overflowing with the stuff and most of it from Penneys!! Over the last two weeks though my little Penneys problem has progressed to shoes, shoes and more shoes. See, like I said, I hate feet and the best way to cover up freaky feet is with pretty shoes, and these are some PRETTY shoes!!
These shoes are pretty rocking, with inspiration drawn from Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik, you just can’t go wrong. No ones gonna believe you got them in Penneys. The fabric is beautiful with a definite designer edge, faux suedes and faux leathers in different shades and textures are combined seamlessly and to great effect. The finishings are excellent and very grown up. The cut out detail in the brown peep toe exudes granny chic in the best way possible and are definitely more Zara Basic than Atmosphere. The pointed toe on their other flats are perfect for Autumn/Winter’s image for a modern lady. The navy ones with contrasting texture panels are your perfect everyday go to, they come in nude too (they could be on next weeks bargain list...) and when a shoe is so chic and practical why not have it in 2 colours? The brown point toe flats are beautiful on, the contrasting textures and gold bead stud detailing really lift the whole look of the shoe and the western feel is subtle and feminine.
The two strap sandal was summers essential classic go to for all occasions and this nude and deep coral version is a refreshing take on it. The break up of colour leaves if bright but not over-bearing and easily more adaptable than the than the royal blue or red solids that I’ve seen in the same style. Also, although it exposes more of the freakish foot including my poor handicap toes (I’m sorry if thats not terribly PC but they are MY toes and I’ll call them what I wish...) they are incredibly more comfortable than peep toe or closed toe heels, no cuts, blisters or swelling that is. You might need some gel insoles due to the harrowing, but notably more sophisticated, single sole and there you have it Bob’s your uncle and Annie’s your aunt your good for a day of pavement pounding and even some saturday night fever before you’ll want to take these little babies off!
The black boots with double gold buckle detailing, miniature gold bead studding on the toe and side and a perfect practical stacked heel are nothing short of phenomenal! The star of the show, they are part of Penneys Limited Edition range which was introduced last season and is back with a vengeance. The Limited Edition Collection is based primarily around accessories, statement necklaces, understated chic bags, elegantly embellished gloves and belts and SHOES, all of which stand out as exceptional. These boots are a sure fire winner, they are extremely versatile and i’ll wear them from now straight through the winter and into next summer. They have a far more up market aesthetic than Pennys usual boots and if I said they cost just short of €100 in another highstreet shop I’m sure you’d believe me any day of the week, but they were just over €20 and are my buy of the week!
All of these shoes are currently in Penneys so get on your bike before they’re gone! I’ve already burned a sizeable hole in my wallet curtesy of my favorite quick fix fashion empire but I’ve already spotted a few more pairs I think I’ll just need to get next week, after all, they aren’t just delectable foot candy, they double as multi-functional art installments that make my room and me seem much more cultured and sophisticated, or realistically maybe just outrageously pompous, the jury may still be out on that one...! But hey, at the end of the day a girl can never have too many shoes anyway. Right?!
All shoes photographed are from Penneys, black purse and cream purse with gold chain also Penneys.
