A long lost love...

Have you ever had the feeling that you’re missing out on something? That there was once something you longed for and now it seems to be forever out of your reach? It’s like a sort of sinking feeling, it can be very distinct. It may not be with you all of the time, but it’s there and every now again when something triggers the memory, it lets you know that it’s still there, waiting and hoping.  

Mine has been with me for around 1 year and 10 months now. I must say, that’s a very long time for me, as usually these feelings come and quickly go. I often fall head over heels in love with that to die for dress or those gorgeous leather boots that just aren’t stocked in my size (if in stock at all), nor are they going to be in the foreseeable future. But then a few weeks, or often days, of mourning my loss have passed before I seem to have forgotten all about them and have set my sights on the Faux Fur Animal Ear Cossack Hat that I just have to have! I guess that’s just the fast paced relationship turnover that we fashion folk have with our passion these days. But not this one particular item, this one hit me hard.

I first saw them in my local store, but the memory that has forever lived on was experienced in Topshop Birmingham Bullring; it’s where I felt my first connection. The feeling of the soft, bright white leather embracing my teeny tiny tootsies was heavenly. The flash of the killer back patent heel, the oh so feminine masculinity and feeling like a Rat Pack Siren had me completely hooked and I’ve always looked back. I’ve lived with the regret of not whisking them away with me while I had the chance and have searched in hope that some lovely lady no longer has love for her (size 4) heels and would carefully guide them over to my deserving feet.

Let me introduce you to the Topshop Saxon Boots I fell in love with in January 2010. Can you blame me?

Unlike many other lovesick females that have been longing to be reunited with their ultimate desires, I, my lovely readers, have found my fairytale ending. Yes, that’s right, I have been able to locate myself a pair of my must have heels and am now holding them in my possession this very moment as I type. It has been a very long journey but I am glad it’s finally over. There is nothing like owning a piece of fashion that you really love. My lesson is learnt; when it’s love at first sight there is only one direction for me to head – to the till!
