shoe hell

sorry i haven't been around this week, i have been so busy AGAIN with uni work- well the 'thought' of uni work. this week has consisted of visiting the lakes for a couple of days, a night out with the girls and bonfire night.

this week for me it has been all about shoes. i had a massive mare taking back the gold heeled topshop shoes. £70 and three hours later at the wedding, the gold chipped off both heels. there weren't any kurbs around for me to scrape them on and i certainly wasn't drunk at this point- which is what the lady at topshop seemed to think.

 i told her the situation and she told me i couldn't get them changed or even repaired due to the chips not being a manufacturing fault. she tried to tell me it was my fault the shoes damaged after three hours, and i shouldn't expect them to be 'real gold' as they are only from topshop. very true, although do i really pay seventy pounds and expect to only wear them once? there wasn't a care label with the shoes, which i believe in this case their should be, warning me that the gold WILL chip after one wear. i clearly explained all this, and she suggested i fill in the chips with gold nail polish. just great. i'm not too clued up on statuatory rights, but surely i can't pay this much money and expect them to ruin after a few hours?

i had my receipt with me, the shoes were in the box they came in, and still no offer to replace or repair. i have had it with topshop this week.

on the other hand, out with my friends the other night i fell in love with giorgias shoes- and i know you will too.

these are the beauties, they looked amazing. she wore them with a snake print dipped hem dress and a leather jacket.

if i told you they were KG you'd probably believe me, but the best thing about them is they are from PRIMARK- and are £20. it doesn't get much better does it. doesn't this say something about how much we buy into a brands NAME and not the product? just because i bought the gold shoes from topshop, and paid a whopping seventy pounds for them, i thought they would be good quality. little did i know, they would ruin after one wear, and after a night on the town in giorgias, the feathers were still in tact and they were ready to be worn again.
