Day 297 - There's no other store like David Jones

David Jones, DJs...the best department store in Australia. They don't stock John Fluevog shoes, but they should! These beautiful coral and beige cutout numbers, purchased, as keen-eyed blog followers will recall, in the Fluevog epicentre of Vancouver, earlier this year, posed on DJ characteristic houndstooth packaging. They are paired with the divine Chanel Bois des Iles. And, let's face it, there really is no other store like David Jones...

Day 230 - Olive

A pair of very well-loved burnished olive John Fluevog lace-ups with wood-stack heels enjoying an olive or two with a glass of aged chardonnay at Self Preservation this evening, accompanied by Parfums de Nicolai's rich chypre Odalisque.

Day 163 - Nude

Out having a drink on a suddenly chiilly evening, these L K Bennett nude patent peeptoes are paired with Chanel's Bel Respiro.  But wait, there's more...some guest shoes!  These numbers are from some years back and are by John Fluevog, also in a nudish shade, offset of course by very interesting heels in glossy black.

Day 150 - Vancouver

Kittie is in Vancouver, which is the base of the Canadian shoemeister John Fluevog.  Naturally enough she couldn't resist these additions to the collection today at the JF boutique downtown, in lightly textured coral pink and grey.  A photo taken in the boutique somehow sadly disappeared during downloading, so this is taken instead from Kittie's hotel room in front of the fabulous views (out of the frame) of Vancouver's famous harbour.  They are accompanied by Ormonde Jayne's Frangipane.

PS  Retrieved the original photo, taken in the Fluevog boutique downtown.

Day 147 - Red and pink

Sharp-eyed followers will realise they've seen these witty red John Fluevog sandals with heart-shaped heels before, back in February.  I dug them out today as I needed post-pedicure footwear that wouldn't interfere with the paint job while it was drying, so please try to forgive me and take comfort in the lovely fuchsia pink polish.  They are paired with Fou d'Absinthe by L'Artisan Parfumeur.

Day 130 - Cats cradle

I love these shoes.  I bought them from the John Fluevog boutique in Chicago in 2007, I think, and have worn them year in, year out ever since.  They have a sense of humour (sadly, a rare quality in shoes), attract compliments from appreciative strangers and are  comfortable and functional.  The colour is one of the things I love most - an interesting burnished olive, with curved wood-stack heels, enhanced by the fabulous flourish of the cats cradle ties at the front.   They're on Little Bourke Street on a very cool winter's day accompanied by Serge Lutens' comforting Cedre.

Day 33 - I do like to be beside the seaside

John Fluevog red sandals with heart-shaped heels and gold buckles at The Stokehouse by St Kilda beach, accompanied by Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle. The soles are inscribed with "love or hate, the choice is yours", and the heels with "choose love". I heart John Fluevog!

Day 1 - New Year's Day

John Fluevog peeptoe slingbacks in teal with flared black heels (c. 2006) pictured at Ferragamo's home in Fitzroy on New Year's day.  I don't know why I don't wear these more often!  Worn with L'Artisan Parfumeur's Dzongkha.
