British Invasion

This weeks post I'm showing you shoes from across the pond. 

My good friend Mel is currently being a brainiac over in England becoming a lawyer at the University of Leicester.

Along with her book smarts, this girl seriously has a passion for fashion! I'm pretty sure our shoe obsession is what originally brought us together and I'm so very thankful it did :)

Thanks to the technology of Smartphones, she recently went on a shopping spree after she completed her first year of law school (Yay congrats again!) and found these British beauties.

 She sent me a picture of her shoes at the store and I instantly LOVED them. These pumps are 5inchs, completely covered in sequins and in the pattern of the Union Jack. I know amazing right! Ladies, think Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls circa 1997.

In Mels words, "They were the last pair :) and now they're all mine". 

She bought them from a store called QUIRK in Leicester City Centre. They were 65 pounds, approxiamately $100.95CAN, which is average for a decent pair of heels. However, because sequins I find are very sensitive on shoes, it's best to wear them out for dinner/drinks or some place not so strenuous on your feet. Afterall, if you're going to seduce with your shoes, you want your shoes to be in an open setting for everyone to see them! If you wear them out to a club, the only thing they're going to be exposed to is alcohol. *Note: avoid wearing suede heels for the same reason*
