Day 181 - Shoes and the city 2

Elegant Kate Spade nude patent peeptoes with black trim reprising their appearance earlier in the year. This time it will be easier to see the detail - refer to January's post: Shoes and the city. They are worn with Chanel's No 5 Eau Premiere.

Day 180 - Riding boots

 

Cole Haan boots purchased many years ago at Nordstrom Rack in Chicago, worn with Serge Lutens' Cedre.

Day 179 - Slightly snaky

Charming Manolo Blahnik beige pumps with snakeskin detail on the vamps - not shown are the usual fabulously engineered MB flared heels - in a brief patch of winter sunlight.

They are accompanied by Chanel's 31 Rue Cambon:  and here's a pic taken a couple of years ago of the hallowed locale - the actual Chanel HQ:

Day 178 - Thank God it's Monday

Actually, I'm not really glad it's Monday at all!  First day back at the office after my lovely holiday and those sake containers in the background look tempting, even this early in the day. Still, the elegant and supremely comfortable brown suede L K Bennett pumps I'm wearing are some consolation, as is the accompanying hefty spray of Amouage Jubilation 25.  Divine!

Day 177 - Madame Butterfly

Kittie has just flown in from New York to Melbourne. One could be forgiven for thinking these deep red patent peeptoes by Kate Spade are helping to solicit custom at a bordello (check the carpet...yech!)  In fact, they are at the Butterfly Club, catching the latest show by the brilliant Rachel Berger, Clever Dicks. And are worn with Chanel's No 18. 

Day 176 - Bleecker Street

One last shot of New York, this time taken during a day shopping on Bleecker Street. These are Simply Vera for Kohl's dark blue flip flops with flower decoration, and they are worn with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Ananas Fizz (now, sadly, discontinued).  

Day 175 - Auction block

Sergio Rossi sandals inspecting some of the merchandise at a preview at Christie's in New York's Rockefeller Center. They were last seen enjoying high tea at The Drake in Chicago and were worn with Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle.
