Ballerina lace-up flats, £45, Next. Rose: Bloom & Wild |
Happy V Day everyone! Myself not being a soppy romantic type (we’ve bought the M&S Dine in for £20 ready meals for our Saturday night), I thought I’d dedicate this post to a more meaningful relationship: my love affair with shoes. You may have noticed I spend most of my disposable income on footwear – but it’s never with regret – they can truly make an outfit.
Step into the spotlight, Next ‘Ghillie’ ballerinas. I know they’re similar to the New Look flats (see the post here) but with a slight twist. They’re pretty much completely lace-up rather than structured at the back – and this season is pretty much all about the lace-up flat. My advice would be to snap these up pronto – they’ll go with EVERYTHING.

They are fab Alex – in my basket right now! Hope you had a lovely Valentines evening in – the M&S meal looked amazing but we've no oven at the moment so had to treat ourselves to a take away instead! x
I wonder if they are comfy? Bought a similar pair from Zara last summer but they literally killed my feet…
They are so gorgeous though!

I had such a lovely Valentines, although I have caught what seems to be another cold! Staying in is much more my thing these days, going out fills me with dread – hope you had a good takeaway! x
The thing about Next shoes is that they have that spongy sole in the bottom (not sexy but very comfy) – so their shoes are always pretty good! I wonder about the edge as they are quite narrow but they seem fine for me so far! x
