WHAT: Red canvas wedges, River Island
WHEN: Sunday, May 1st, 2011
WHERE: Rossyln Castle and Traquair House
WITH: Polka dot dress (Collectif via eBay), red bow belt (probably New Look)

Yes, readers, it’s true: you all thought I just joked about being a Shoeperhero, but nope, I can ACTUALLY fly. Well, I can when I’m on a swing, anyway…

The swing in question was in the grounds of Traquair House, which dates back to the 12th century, and is Scotland’s oldest continuously inhabited house.

When: February 14th, 2010
Where: Valentine’s dinner date
With: New Look polka dot top, River Island pencil skirt, red bow belt (no idea) and black bag (gifted)

Shoeperman and I don’t really do the whole “gifts and cards” thing on Valentine’s Day, but we WILL take any excuse to eat out, so last night we had dinner in the middle of a lake. In a restaurant, I mean: I don’t think these shoes would’ve coped well with a rowing boat, somehow…

The shoes in question are my red Matalan ruffle shoes, worn with the ruffle removed, and with my new obsession: POLKA DOTS! You can probably expect to see a lot more dots around here as the year progresses. A LOT more. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

What did everyone else do for Valentine’s, if anything? And, more importantly, which shoes did you wear?
