Regular Twitter followers will know I have a thing for small fluffy animals: baby animal videos on YouTube, other people’s dogs which I stop to talk to in the street (in that annoying baby voice people seem to reserve for babies and really tiny dogs), the bunnies who live in the hedgerows near my house which I coo at as I cycle past, tiny golden woodland animal jewels… they all make me squeal with glee like a small child/strange cat lady.
And so, because I’m mid-way through a No Shopping January* (which would simply be no fun at all to read about I’m sure), I thought I would show you my new Charlotte Olympia Kitty heels instead (much more fun than a boring old shopping diet).
Practical they are not, but I’ve loved these Kitty heels since the moment I laid eyes on them at Charlotte Olympia’s murder mystery tea party at London Fashion Week back in February of last year, and then gazed longingly at them for months and months (it was between them or the glittery Miu Mius, and the Miu Mius won in the end). I had finally accepted they weren’t to be mine when, browsing the online sales one rainy day at the end of December, I saw them: the very last pair, in a size 40, on sale. Cinderella destiny; clearly they were meant to be mine.
And that, my lovelies, is why I now have shoes that look like pets (minus the catfood/babysitting issues). They might make me look like some kind of weird cat lady when I wear them but seriously, how can you resist those cute little golden whiskers and ears?
What do you think? Do you like your wardrobe to have a little sense of humour from time to time?
Love, Miss B xx
* I’m trying to avoid buying anything non-essential thing for all of January, and am instead trying to clear my wardrobe of all the things I don’t love/wear, cumulating in one gigantic ebay sale at the end of the month.
A lovely wardrobe staple, you’ll keep forever. I can’t say no to butterfly accessories!
Yep, I love that you own these! So unexpected and such a darling heel!! Cinderella success story indeed. x
it’s too cute! 🙂
Love these!

Cinderella destiny? Well we share the same shoe size and you have amazing taste in shoes, have you got any shoes in that ebay pile of yours?
I definitely think shoes with a sense of humour are a fantastic way to add some quirkiness to an everyday and outfit and still be wearable. So look forward to your posts, they are a joy to read.
I absolutely adore them! Such a practical option as opposed to an actual pet… am now wondering if I could persuade SC to go for those rather than a hamster…. xxx
definitely high on my wish list, a pair of Cahrlotte Olympia’s! the thing is you don’t find them so easy in Belgium! so untill today, i didn’t buy a pair! i always love humor combined with the fashion, so huge fan of the shoes
I adore these. Absolutely gorgeous!
These are lovely!! Me WANT!
With love from

Lovely! Do you purr of pleasure wearing them? 🙂
Lovely shoes!
Let us know your Ebay name, when you start selling, I might be tempted;-)
Those are so cute! x
What a cuties! 🙂
Dear B., will you consider a post on diet, as you mentioned in the NY’s resolutions? I’d love some smart tricks and good habits in losing weight 🙂
so cute 🙂
Ahhh they are adorable! and on sale?! clearly it was meant to be 🙂
p.s. your shopping ban is making me feel guilty! X
I must say I am not particularly fan of these shoes, but what is most important is that you like them and that you feel good in them. But I do like some fun in one’s wardrobe especially in the form of sparkles or little bows (not all at the same time or else I would be a legit little girl…). I bought myself as an early birthday present the Repetto flats in the leopard print…
hahah they are cute i probably wouldn’t go for them but i like to have a little sense of humor with over the top bows, ruffles, or sparkle
in dramatic fashion
these are so cute!! would love these if they were smoking slippers (I could see Stubbs and Wootton making something similar but flat) love your Cinderella story 🙂
So cute! As a fanatical cat-lady myself, I strongly approve of your new shoes. Now all you need to find is a pair of Marc Jacobs Mouse flats for the kittens to be entertained.
Adorable! I love them!
Those heels are so adorable! I want one!!
They are gorgeous shoes! I’m definitely partial to a quirky bag from Lulu Guinness to add a lift to an outfit, in particular a divine strawberry basket from S/S 03 that I bring out every summer. In terms of shoes, I also love my pair of her picnic shoes (complete with beaded ants!) which are of a similar vintage.x
Totally expecting to see these on your feet at fashion week! They are so freaking perfect. I definitely try to stick to wardrobe basics and tend to buy things I’ll wear lots but every now and again you’ve just got to throw in something a little off beat. That’s what makes it fun, right? xx
