Before I’m Whisked Away…

2 August 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

Topshop Stud Toe Ankle

This, mes chéries, is the perfect studded bootie. Demure and not too trendy, but simply enough for a touch of detail. It is a bit more of a feminine alternative to the ubiquitous studded this and that, so I do give it a wholehearted oui. Visiting Topshop for the first time ever will require a steel heart of resistance to the above shoe and many, many other items. Dearest heart, palpitate not for fear of unlady-like gaping, drooling, and staring at delicious dresses and skirts and shoes and bags. Le sigh.

I’m off to New York City now!

bisous,

La C.

    Maybe you should simply buy them at Topshop. Who knows when you’ll be back again; you may as well stock up on essentials now – these are an essential. 🙂
