I visited Bluewater shopping centre a couple of weeks ago with Hanna from The Wardrobe Challenge. We hadn't seen each other for quite a while so it was great to meet up and have a proper natter.

Simply Be Viva La Diva Pewter Shoes EEE Fit
Shoes. I love them. I hate them. They give me pleasure. They give me pain. My troublesome feet make it very difficult for me to find shoes that are comfortable but stylish so I'm always trying different options in the hope that I'll find something that works for me.
I recently placed a reasonably large footwear order with Simply Be. Amongst the items I ordered were the Viva La Diva Pewter Shoes EEE Fit:

Simply Be Mary Jane Block Heel Court Shoes EEE Fit
Several weeks ago, I was feeling particularly fed up with having hardly any shoes that fitted me properly and were comfortable so I went on a footwear binge and ordered a TON of shoes from Simply Be.
I have long relied on Simply Be for wide-fitting shoes - did you know they stock footwear in a range of widths all the way up to EEEEE? I usually find that the EEE works best for me, but this varies depending on the style of the shoe/sandal/boot and sometimes I size up or down in shoe size and/or width. It's great to have the luxury of options like this, which is not something easily found on the UK high street, so I am eternally thankful for brands like Simply Be who really understand the varying sizing needs for footwear.
When my huge order arrived, I had great fun trying on all the shoes. I ended up keeping several pairs, with one of them being the Simply Be Mary Jane Block Heel Court Shoes EEE Fit:

Earth Spirit Mary Jane Shoes from Barratts
I always get very excited when I find new shoes. That's because my feet make it very difficult to get a good fit, as I discussed in this post.
On a recent trip to Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, I popped into the Barratts store. Once upon a time, Barratts stores could be found on every high street, but in recent years the company has had to adapt to meet the needs of online shoppers, whilst experiencing a reduced presence in some towns. However, there are still a number of stores around, and you can find your nearest one by using the Barratts store locator on their website.
Whilst instore, I had a good look around the women's footwear section. The sale was on so I had plenty of bargain options to choose from. I was served by a very helpful young lady called Anika and ended up purchasing these lovely Mary Janes by Earth Spirit:

Simply Be And Abigail Strappy Wedges E Fit
Following on from my recent review of the Simply Be Viva La Diva T-Bar Sandals EEE Fit, I also received a pair of wedge sandals from the wonderful people at Simply Be that I wanted to review.
When browsing the Simply Be website these And Abigail Strappy Wedges E Fit jumped out from the screen at me and I knew I had to give them a try for myself.

Simply Be Viva La Diva T-Bar Sandals EEE Fit
First of all I must apologise for not having posted for a couple of weeks. Things got really hectic with My Blog's First Birthday Giveaway, as well as with work and my personal life, which has meant that I needed to take a break for a little while. Thank you for bearing with me - normal service will now resume :-)
Back in the summer, I was on the lookout for a dazzling outfit to wear to a posh do I had to attend with work. Not only did I need a frock, but also shoes to match. It's always a bit of a quandary with an outfit - is it best to pick the shoes first or the dress? I daresay the majority of people would say the dress, but for me it can often be best to start with the shoes.
The reason for this is that I have VERY difficult feet. Here are my main issues:

M & Co Dresses: Summer 2012
Ok ok...so it's rather late in the season to be posting 'summer' dress reviews. But I wanted to share these with you as examples of some of the great things high street and online retailer M & Co have on offer.
I visited the Tenterden store a little while ago and received excellent customer service from Charlotte who was looking after the changing rooms at the time. She was sweet and helpful and even paid me compliments on the dresses I was trying on, bless her!
I tried on a variety of dresses, none of which are available on the website any more so I am afraid I can't link to them.

Monsoon Teal Viper Dress
When I was up in Leeds in July for Plus North, I had a couple of shopping trips to the wonderful White Rose shopping centre. I visited various stores whilst there, including the fabulous Evans, but this post is about a gorgeous dress I managed to snare from Monsoon.
I can't say I am a regular shopper in Monsoon as the few times I have been in there I have not found anything I liked. However I was delighted to find that this teal Viper dress was in the sale for £27.50, reduced from £55:
