Crazy, beautiful shoesies

Wednesday, 1 February 2012

I'm not a plain pumps kind of person, I like shoes covered in junk, glitter, stuffed animals, whacky prints, things stuck onto the laces etc, that's why when watching the movie The Sitter (which isn't all that great if I'm honest) there's a guy who can roll around on roller skates so wonderfully that I realised that's what I'd love to do! Roll around on roller skates rather than walk anyway, it's so much more fun and you'll get places in double quick time!
The one small problem might be that there's no real flat area where I can practice and not get laughed at for falling over (which I'm sure I will, a lot, at first at least, and maybe several more times after that) also, I couldn't wear them at home because there is so many stairs, though perhaps I could wheel through the corridoors.

I've been looking for some covered in sequins and lights that flash when the wheels roll, but I wonder if I might be being too specific...
So far I've found these cute ones:
SFR Rio Roller White & Pink £39.95


They're so sweet like candy floss! and they look pretty comfy, plus I love that they're called a 'Disco skate' I wonder if there's any roller discos near me...
You can get these bad boys at www.skatehut.co.uk

But you best beleive if I find a sparklier pair, you'll be the first to know!

I can't fit a carousel in my bedroom!

When decorating a room, I love to white wash the walls, the ceiling and to have bare floorboars, so that it feels like a truly blank canvas where you can dash colour all over the walls, the furniture every which way with throws, pictures, cushions, curtains and linen. Because then you can remove it all so easily, and you have a beautiful fresh canvas to start with all over again. Perhaps in summer I might prefer candy pink bedsheets and my picture of silk ballet shoes, and in winter I use my ruby red linen instead and hang a poster of the London skyline.

One picture that would look stunning in my summer colour scheme if I chose it to be that, is this:
French Carousel Photography Carnival France Photo - 8 x 10 - Fine Art Photography print - French Home decor Children Pink Fun Wall art

I adore carousels, they evoke so many sensory reactions, the scent of spinning candy floss sugar, the charming but sometimes haunting 'chime' of the music they play, the old fashioned gold horses each with their own name.

We have a fair that stops by twice a year and the carousel has returned time and time again since before I was even old enough to go on.

This picture was taken in the North of France, but I'm trying to justify why I should treat myself!?

If you've fallen head over heels for this picture like me, then you can get one here:
