    I have a shoe addiction

    Oh I'm serious, I have a problem NOT buying shoes.

    I'm not quite up to the number that Divvy has, but I think I'm only a few behind now.

    They're just about to get their own set of shelves in the bedroom because they don't fit in the wardrobe any more.

    I want a house with a shoe room!!!!!!!!!!!! (and a handbag room, because that addiction is growing as well).

    Heehee I sympathise -although I don't give in to my addiction, but I do lurve them. My issue is heels because I have nowhere to wear them! The odd occasion we go out doesn't seem justifiable. I want to know what your top 3 pairs are please!

    Will tell you mine for now - black and red ballet flats!, my thongs (ahem - fashionista much?) and my brown knee high boots - bring on winter.

    "shoe room" - you speak my language!

    I really need to do a cull, we moved from house with walk in robes to house with nothing so they are all currently lined up against the wall on shoe racks stacked 4 rows high DH isn't impressed lol

    Have you tried Anna Fiori in the Block arcade - that's where I go to feed my habit. I haven't for a while, as I'm broke and can't wear heels atm. It's only a short stroll to Peter Jackson for more shoe porn. For my wedding, I discovered a shoe place that customs makes the shoes and you can get a matching handbag in the same leather/fabric. Cant remember the name, but they're in High St Armadale and Brunswick.

    I'm an enabler arent I?

    My faves are: red patent leather pointy toe stilleto and bottle green suede pump, both from AF above, and my slip on black suede knee high boots I bought in Vienna. None of which I can currently wear

    hahaha don't know about top 3, could probably narrow it down to top 5 heels and top 5 flats lol

    Here goes

    Flats
    • Natural Sport sandshoe type things
    • animal print galoshes
    • Rip Curl thongs (funnily enough picked out by Divvy's youngest)
    • Asics running shoes - I try to get to the gym daily and have started running, these are my running shoes (yes I have other shoes for non-running gym days - funky reeboks)
    • Nude Guggenheim Brogue in aztec


    Heels
    • Black boots with red flames on the toes (got these a couple of weeks ago and I need to stretch the leather a bit and get some party feet for them because they are a bit ouchie after an hour's walk)
    • Boston Babes court style shoes - loved these ones so much I got them in both zebra and giraffe
    • I heart Billy - blue kitten heels
    • Demonia black & white platforms
    • rmk Black boots with stiletto heels


    Actually don't start me on the boots, I now have 10 pairs (not including ski, work or riding boots) and as we're coming into winter that will increase

    I'm also on the hunt for some ballet flats, plus those funky ones that roll-up to fit in your handbag. That will be tomorrow's shopping expedition

    Hi, my name is Glamourcide and I have an addiction to shoes!
    My 'everyday' pair is just a $6 pair of beaded thongs I got from Kmart, but I'm not usually dressed up so have no need for anything fancier... however, my wardrobe is overflowing with shooooeeees!
    There's the black cut-out suede pumps, very 40's/50's style.
    The chunky-heeled black gladiator-style platform heels that go with almost anything.
    The purple slouched leather slingback peep-toe booties that are sooo comfy (but certainly don't look it!).
    The crud-kicking 10-up Demonias that look amazing with a flirty dress, denim shorts or black leggings and a hoodie on cold days.
    The hot pink and black snakeskin-print strappy platforms that make me smile every time I catch a glimpse of.
    The black studded zip-up heels that I scored for an amazing price last time I was in Brisbane.
    The 40's-style 'dancing shoes' I wore for my wedding.
    The leopard-upper, lipstick-red platformed wedge heels that, sadly, are a whole size too big for me
    The patent red mary-jane pumps with black velvet ribbon trim.
    The disgustingly awesome black nubuck platform peep-toes I scored last Boxing Day.

    ....And those are just my favourites!
    Right now, I'm dreaming of a pair of flesh-coloured suede Tony Bianco wedges - either Farren, Firelli or Fad. I sooooo want them! That, and a pair of black floral-print pumps similar to the Mollini ones a friend bought recently - Forever21 tells me they will be in stock in about a month so I'm checking back every day to make sure I don't miss out!

    Donna - you're going to love this - cougar weekend last year, I took a clothes basket full of shoes & handbags.

    Do you think we're going to need to do a Divvy and buy a new case to fly home with? (yes the woman came to visit me before I moved and bought 6 pair of shoes & needed a new case to fly home)
