The Shoe Chronicles: My January Love with Jeffrey...

For all those of you who know and love me, my obsession with shoes is legendary. I can't really tell you when it started as shoes for me were just something you had to wear and not an essential outfit component. 


Going to an all girls convent school forced me into a dreary existence due limited uniform which did not allow much room for personal expression. (You don't realise how much we looked forward to non-uniform day *sigh*). Then onto college where the theme changed to being fashionably comfortable so began the era of trainers...air force ones, Stan Smith's and the infamous boxer boots all fell into the collection. 

(I really loved them. They made me feel like Rocky every time *theme tune in the background*) 


This trend pretty much continued into Uni. Until one day...


...BAM!!! 


I discovered heels and since then life in flats is not for me. There's too much oxygen down there for me to function well. The altitude work better for me but I digress. I think I'll save my shoe story for another time and get onto the reason for this post. I think I'm in love guys. Yes I said it. I AM IN LOVE...I have found my shoe of the month

My new Love by the genius that is Jeffrey Campbell.

The crazy idea that the shoes don't have a bridge is what blew my mind and somehow they still seem to work. I want these in my life! That is all! I wonder who will assist in my new future investment? Any takers?? Not to say I cant get them myself but I'm having trouble deciding which colour to get. So getting all options may be the best way forward....what do you think?


until next time...

Mum says: Say Amen - the talking phone

Mums.You've got to love them. No matter how authoritarian they can be like... 

Mum: You think you can leave the house wearing that? you better get upstairs before you regret the day I conceived you

Me: Yuck mum. Don't need the visuals *cover eyes*

Mum: Then move!!! 

(please note this happened only last week kmt)

or emotional...

Mum: after all I've done for you guys. I cook, I clean, I put food on the table. 

When you broke your ankle on my birthday no less, who took you to A&E? huh? Who did that?

Me: alright mum. You can watch the Nollywood channel

or annoying...

Mum: Pass me the remote

Me: Mum! its right in front of you...

Mum: *evil mum stare*

Me: Here you go

Mum: Since you're up, can you take down the laundry, wash the dishes and then chop the okra *innocent smile*

...they do have moment of brilliance. Especially my mum. I love my mum to bits but sometimes I wonder at her grasp of the world around us. Take technology for example. Or more specifically the mobile telephone. Mumzy is always raving that she needs to have the latest phone so she can stay "on trend". Personally i don't see the point as she will never really use the phone's capabilities apart from the very basics - call and text. Then she will give up using it completely and give the phone to my little sister, then revert to complaining she needs a new phone. A vicious cycle...

Anywho, I recently got my iPhone 4S and after days of it not working (lets not get into the rages of a new phone refusing to work), it was up and running. Time for me to show mum what "on trend" phones can do

Me: mum, guess what? I can ask my phone questions
Mum: what do you mean?
Me: let me show you. Siri how are you?
Siri: I am well
Mum: God of Israel!!! I rebuke the devil in your phone. I plead the blood of Jesus *starts speaking in tongues*
Me: Wow mum!!!! It's only a phone!
Mum: Say Amen!!!!!
Me: Amen

You've got to love her (well I do)

Until next time...

My first blog

I know, I know...I'm very late to this blogging thing but hey better late than never right 

So what better way to break my blog-inity that to look at what events have taken place on this momentus day of my first blog.


For one, Beyonce and Jay-Z are the proud new parents of a baby girl which they named Blue Ivy Carter...(pause to take it in) not the first name I would thought of at all, who would. It is to be expected though. Long gone are the days of children having normal names. A lot of the names these days sound like something out of Star Trek. 
Weird baby names now seems to be part of the rulebook "things you have to do when you are famous". I mean actor Rob Morrow (from the show Numb3rs) name his child Tu Morrow...really? Bee's good friend Gwyneth Paltrow called her child Apple. The Jackson's seem to have the weird name thing down to a 't'. Michael called his son blanket... and Jermaine named his son Jermajesty...*smh*


So for all you would be superstars of the future, you need to starting thinking about your future children's names. Just remember to make sure its something a normal working-class child would get bullied for then you are onto a winner...


How about Starfish Petal for my first daughter?


Until next time
