London Purchase: Airport Shoes

I've given up on photographing Mr. EWP's Edward Green shoes.  He keep forgetting to bring them home from the office.  Let's just say they're brown dress shoes.  And we're done.

As for me, I was actually going to leave London with nary a purchase.  But then when we were at Heathrow Airport, readying for our trip back to the states, we passed a shoe store in the airport.

They had many many normal looking shoes, many were quite cute, but, for some reason, Mr. EWP and I both were drawn to these shoes:

They're my 40's pinup shoes.  Or, as I call them, my aiport shoes.  Since I bought them in the airport.

 They're from Kurt Geiger, which I would liken to a British Aldo.  Super cute stuff and pretty reasonably priced. 

These polka-dotted wonders were on sale.  I suck at conversion from pounds to dollars, I refuse to learn since the exchange rate makes me so sad.  So let's pretend they were $40.  [They actually were more than that in pounds, but let's pretend, k?]

I'm honestly not sure where I'm going to wear them, but Mr. EWP was very encouraging of the purchase, and who doesn't need neon polka dot shoes?

Parisian Purchases

 I couldn't go to the capital of fashion and not bring home a few goodies for myself.

First up, a dress from my new favorite store: Promod.  It's like a European Forever 21 - lots of cute things, and all super cheap!! If a certain baby hadn't had her fill of sightseeing for the day and started crying, I'm pretty sure I would've bought out the store.  As it is, I walked away with two things.

Promod,  36.95 €

And then there's this, my delightfully delicious Parisian splurge.  Mr. EWP said, since we were in the fashion capital of the world, I could buy one ridiculous thing I wanted.  What I actually needed were some camel/cognac boots, but $1000 boots just don't do it for me. I prefer my fancy shoes to be pretty and adorned with butterflies.  So I decided I'd go for the other thing I've been wanting - a structured brown bag.  After much much looking, and taking of pics and different shops to compare them (yes, I'm a nerd), we settled on this piece of leather yummy goodness.  And since it's leather, it fits for our 3rd anniversary gift. You're welcome, Mr. EWP, for taking care of your anniversary gift shopping for you.  I'm such a thoughtful wife. :)  And I'm only just a little delighted that it's not even available in the US yet.

Yves Saint Laurent

Here I am modeling my bag, as well as my third Parisian purchase - a top from Promod.  It's not on their website that I could see, so no linky, but I think it was like 15€.  Gotta love a cute cap sleeve and a bow!



Now on to London!
