Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa

I actually bought these a few weeks ago to go with a Ted Baker dress I got for a wedding during the Summer but seemed to forget about them until I got them out to show to my SILTB (the previous post will explain that) the other day. Basically, I've been after a pair of these beauties for a couple of years but needed a good enough excuse to actually buy them. And God knows, a family wedding is the best excuse ever!! Yes!!

Ah, would you look at them there, gorgeous so they are. Because they're nude and red (they come in a variety of colours but usually dependent on the season, they release different colours for S/S, A/W), they go with loads of things so I don't feel quite so guilty about buying them. I find them really comfortable because they're made of rubber so they're really soft (kind of like they're moulded to your feet) and the heel isn't crazy high. Plus they smell like fancy paper. That's right, you read correctly- the fancy paper that we used to collect, when we were young and carefree. Memories...anyway, that's an absolutely pointless feature cause I imagine that scent wears off fairly fast but I just thought it was a nice touch, and typical coming from Vivienne Westwood, who tends to be a bit eccentric to say the least. Sigh, I love them so. These came from  ASOS where they have a couple of other colour combinations too but you can also buy them directly from the Vivienne Westwood site. That can be dangerous though cause then you'll just want to get one of her lovely bags as well :-)
