#ShoesDayTuesday

It’s Shoes Day Tuesday! What’s that? Well to me it was a very special day indeed. A few weeks ago I entered Upper Street Shoes #ShoesDayTuesday competition on Twitter and I won!

Upper Street London are a bespoke shoe designing online fashion site which lets you get creative and design your perfect shoes and also get that perfect fit. To win a pair of my own shoes all I had to do was Tweet them with a pair of my own fabulous shoes, I was breaking in my Ancient Greek Sandals for holiday so tweeted them in. I was shortlisted the next day and then chosen as the winner by none other than Fashion Foie Gras!

I was super excited to have won and to get to work on designing. I couldn’t quite decide what I wanted so I played about with some different styles. At first I really wanted a pair of black sandals as I’ve been looking for ages now, however I settled on a pointed court as I had wanted some bright coloured ones and never found any I really liked. I came across some Jimmy Choos which inspired my choice for the turquoise colour!

They only took a couple of weeks to arrive and were presented beautifully in a black box with a big pink ribbon. My new shoes also came with a velvet dust bag, gel foot pads and even a shoe keyring, such nice touches.

I thought they would look great with skinny jeans and I wasn’t wrong. I wore them on Friday to my dad’s birthday dinner at Smithfields. For a first time wear I got by with just a little pinch at the toes, they are the most comfortable heels I own and can’t wait to wear them again! Here I teamed them with a River Island floral blouse, H&M skinny jeans and I just had got my hair done by Tom at Zoo Salon,which is based funnily enough on actual Upper Street!

To try your luck at winning some of your own designs, enter #ShoesDayTuesday today on Upper Street Twitter and Instagram by uploading your favourite shoes to @UpperStreetShoe and tagging #ShoesDayTuesday.
