Welcome to the original 'year in shoes', where Kittie France got to see if she could meet the challenge to wear every pair she owned in the 365 days of 2011

Day 117 - Snakey
Grabbing a quick apres-work drink at the usual (Self Preservation) are these luscious Jimmy Choo black slingbacks with snakeskin and gold buckle trim. They are worn with the most heavenly new fragrance from Frapin, 1697. Kittie's fellow imbibers, unprompted, noted the beautiful scent at approximately 6pm - it was sprayed nearly 12 hours before, yet is remarkably unobtrusive. Like other Frapin fragrances, it is inspired in some way by the scent of cognac (the other family business). The name represents a significant year in the marque's history. This latest is the creation of one of Kittie's favourite perfumers, Bertrand Duchaufour. Bravo!

Day 116 - Espadrilleana
These fabulous, if somewhat war-worn, canvas espadrilles stand proud at L'Enoteca in Gertrude Street. They were purchased some years ago at the supreme espadrille shrine, La Manual Alpargatera, in Barcelona. "Celebrity" clients of the boutique include, apparently, Salvador Dali, Michael Douglas, and....the Pope!!! They are worn, maybe inappropriately, with Balmain's old classic Ivoire.

Day 115 - At the park
Frivolous Emilio Pucci satin pumps with ridiculously high heels adorned with silver spines (not quite visible in this shot) playing at the park*. They are worn with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Fou d'Absinthe. (*Blogging purposes only. Please don't try this in real life. Someone - or even worse, the shoes - might get hurt).
