I need to remind myself that the time will come when I can slip into the glorious “Sammie” sandal by Luichiny – complete with red satin flower:

Of course, if that’s a little too wild for your taste, there is the slightly more sedate Sammie in brown as well:

For my lovely readers in the UK this £2.99 charmer from eBay may be the option!

The auction is on until September 12th, so you’ve still got time to nab it, if you can’t live without your own cherry purse

need your own cheap & cheerful cherries bag?

You could fall in love with a still-expensive, but on sale, ridiculously-trendy, about-to-go-out-of-style-in-five-minutes pair of shoes like these Jimmy Choos:

Those, by the way are the “Lester“, with faux-zebra printed Pony accented with snakeskin – although it doesn’t say whether the snakeskin is real or faux…

Sometimes, it’s better to think twice than end up with a pair of shoes that will live out their lives in the back of your closet.

Remember, dear readers – red wine and shoe shopping don’t mix

There’s the classic Gucci horsebit sunglasses:

I wouldn’t recommend these grey satin “Hollywood” horsebit peep-toe pumps for the barn (also by Gucci), but they’re sure gorgeous for a night on the town!

Or if you’d prefer a necklace, how about the gold horsebit pendant from CC Skye?
