Yes everyone I was dutifully informed by my Mother that it is 17 weeks until Christmas.
My reaction was exactly the same as yours,
"Why the hell are you on about Christmas when it's not even the end of August yet?"
To be honest she had a reasonably fair answer (Mum will be leaving her job soon as we are due to move& is unsure whether she will have one by Christmas... money etc) but it got me thinking about the most amazing discovery i made.
Tucked away in the back of dear old Topshop, displayed rightfully on a shiny white pedestal were (& hopefully still are!) my dream pair of brown leather boots. Of course who, but a handful, could of crafted such an exquist pair of leather hoofs, none other than Kurt Geiger himself.
Every year I search tirelessly for the perfet pair: they have to be a specific brown - not tan or light ash brown but a darker shade- they have to be knee high, with a chunky heel& they can't be too high or completely flat -im saying between 3& 4 inches. As you can imagine, my specific criteria only meets a handful of pieces a year, all of which, seem to be either when I have no money or no where near an occasion such as my birthday or Christmas.
My 16th birthday, Kurt Keiger Sale stansted airport, £120 boots down to £40 plus tax deduction, the only pair in my size were grey. Two years later, Christian Louboutin end of august (17 weeks until christmas, 7 months until my birthday). Last year, River Island £100 boots September time (before loans)& now as if my luck couldn't get any better, August 2011 £200 Kurt Keiger's.
Do these shoe companies like torturing me :(
