Guess wedges

I have to admit I am semi-gutted.

I bought these Guess "L Gilena B" wedges at Gatwick Airport and with the duty free discount they were about £75.

I was thrilled.

* I loved the colour of the leather - a flattering butter that really does suit every skintone...even skin on feet that have lived in opaque tights all winter.
* The heel was "just enough"....it gives you a bit of a lift but not too much making them the perfect everyday wedge/shoe.
* The neutrality of the leather design and colour means that you can really wear them with everything.
* Further to that, the overall simplicity of the shoe really stood out in the shop...I haven't looked at Guess for over a decade (at least!) but as soon as I saw these on the shelf it made me think of shoes by Chloe and Celine. Nothing flashy or overdone - just gorgeous leather and a simple design.

But in writing this post and sourcing a link to plonk on the end of the blurb I saw that they have now been massively reduced in the sale to a mere £54.

Link!

Ah well, that's always the way isn't it. At least perhaps someone out there will get a fantastic bargain.

I 100% recommend these to anyone looking for a summer shoe. I LOVE nude shoes but that shade of nude can be tricky. I have tried on lots only to think that my feet look like they are incased in my own flesh. And that's not working for me. These however seem to strike the right tone - partly because there is a yellowy butter undertone to them.

I dunno - they are only wedges but they make me so happy :)

PS. Went out for a work dinner last night to good old Brasserie Blanc and had moules mariniere and the most amazing pistachio souffle.

Also - *hang head in shame* - quite a lot of wine...even a glass of syrupy dessert wine which I truly regret.

Today has been difficult :)
