Day 275 - Blood red

Assertive Kate Spade red suede flats with gold - very gold - trim, like the sort that would set off metal detectors. They are partnered with Guerlain's zesty Cologne du Parfumeur 2010.

And a guest shoe...worn by Kittie's lunch companion today.

A beautiful Bally ox-blood red boat shoe, worn with Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Day 237 - Simplicity

Could anything be simpler than these barely-there sandals by Manolo Blahnik? Just a few scraps of leather thrown together to create another masterwork. They are paired today with a great classic from 1969, Guerlain's Chamade.

Day 231 - TGIF

Emanuel Ungaro faux croc and perforated ponyhair slingbacks in a flattering beige poised in contemplation of a very welcome weekend. I love the rich pink of Ungaro undersoles. They are partnered with one of the great classics, Guerlain's Mitsouko.

Day 212 - Poetry in motion

Attending an entertaining dinner party featuring poetry on the run - in this instance, featuring the clerihew, a sort-of-limerick - Kittie is wearing a pair of gold Ferragamo sandals against a stunning red sofa and a hefty spritz of Guerlain's Attrape-Coeur.

Day 111 - Roaming the prairies

Heels by Les Prairies de Paris bought at Barneys New York, out on the street just before the long Easter weekend.  They're partnered with Guerlain's lovely Cologne du Parfumeur, Thierry Wasser 2010.

Day 73 - Happy holiday

Labour Day in the park on the swing with a very fun pair of Manolo Blahnik sandals, with nude leather straps strung with coral-coloured beads that make a lovely shaking sound when you walk.  The heels are striped wooden stack heels in shades of neutral and soft red.  Perfect for a day off!  Worn with (again) Guerlain's Cologne du Parfumeur.

Day 70 - Friday night

Isabella Fiore slingbacks in a nut brown with cute wooden button detail enjoying a glass of champers or three on Friday after a hard week at work, accompanied by a refreshing new acquisition, Guerlain's Cologne du Parfumeur.  This elegant scent was created in 2010 by the house's new master parfumeur, the interestingly named Thierry Wasser (I originally assumed he was a cologne ingredient rather than the creator).  Silly moi!  

...Oh, alright, I suppose I'll have another glass...

Day 69 - The blue hour


Manolo Blahnik black mules with chunky silver chain detail posed at carpark #425, at that hour between light and dark either end of the day - what the French call l'heure bleue (the blue hour), which occurs at dawn or twilight.  These lovely heels are partnered with - well, what do you know? - L'Heure Bleue, Guerlain's immortal classic from 1912.

Day 42 - Sublime


Christian Louboutin beige slingbacks - their name is Sublimin - posed briefly before rushing out of the office, accompanied by a discreet cloud of Guerlain's radiant grapefruit masterpiece Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune, another summer favourite.

Day 26 - Tennis shoes


Australia Day. The small coral-coloured dot to the right is Rafael Nadal, nicely co-ordinated with my Marc Jacobs fabric sandals with fuchsia patent trim, in the process of being beaten by countryman David Ferrer in the men's quarter-final of the Australian Open. Worn with Guerlain's Vetiver.
