Adidas Falcon Gold Women's Kicks

I truly believe that I must have been a magpie in a previous life - if not, how on earth can I explain why I like to purchase shiny metallic accessories and shoes?  About a year ago I was nosing through the ASOS app on my phone (an app I regularly have to remove as it's far too tempting ...) and noted some gold Adidas Falcon trainers in an appealing gold and mauve colourway.  At full price - some £85 - they were too expensive, so I took a screenshot and left it there.  Fast forward and there they were in the sale, so I nabbed the last pair online (whilst on a bus London Transport fans ...)

Here's the box:

Herewith the shoes - the colourway slightly reminds me of She-Ra, Princess of Power.  Maybe I'm just a bit of an eighties geekess?  The rug is Ikea by the way - it's still very bouncy underfoot.  

Fuggs - AKA Fake Uggs or Faux Sheepskin Style Boot Slippers

If you're like me and appreciate having warm feet during the winter, then I'm darn sure that you'll be sporting a pair of fake Ugg-style boots on your trotters.  I bought two pairs in a size UK 9-10 from one of the leading exponents of online fashion retailing - namely Asos, or 'As Seen On Screen' as it once called. 

As you can see, this is a snap of the older pair and it's pretty knackered and is sporting a huge hole in the toe.  They make me shuffle around the house like a gnome because they've stretched and contain absolutely no support for my feet.  Therein plantar fasciitis lurks and as my husband and mother have suffered from it and said that it feels like tiny razor blades are being inserted into the soles of your feet, it's a condition that I'll try to avoid. 

I want rid - I'll probably stick them on eBay later on in the week when I have a few minutes to spare.  I use a different account from the one I usually buy on because of all of the issues surrounding 'adult' items.  Years ago, on a previous login I had my account suspended quite a few times for listing 'inappropriate' things (shoes/socks/tights), although eBay seem to allow ladies and certain gents to sell their used undies on there ...

My jeans are Asos too and are 'slim mom jeans' - I'm a mom/mum, but I'm not slim, but I was fed up with wearing skinny jeans all of the time as I'm sure that they give people a hot crotch, which is surely a breeding ground for bad bacteria?

Nike Air Blazers

You know me, I'm a sucker for trainers and I find that ASOS is a great place to buy them. This week ASOS ended their A List reward scheme and presented their customers with a £10 voucher to say thank you. So ... I bought these:

They are Nike Air Blazers Low Premium in Old Gold. I think that you'll agree that they're so cool.

Adidas Superstar Slip Ons

I bought these in the ASOS sale last year and have only worn them twice. They're very comfortable, but due to their fabric/elastic construction, they're not suitable for wearing during the winter months.

I think that you'll agree that they're pretty darn funky.
