101 posts and unexpected trainers

Hello, sorry for the quiet. I had a resurgence of the flu bug I caught the other week (when I 'went to Paris' - see post here. Paris would have been much nicer). This time I was more sensible and rested up. A quiet weekend now awaits, including a delightful Skype chat with my friend Chipmunk (hi!).

I hit 100 posts last post! I didn't notice. So here, (drumroll) is my 101st post.

So, unexpected trainers - I bought a pair of Superga trainers in Paris on honeymoon 5 years ago, a pair with a tessellated orange pattern - products of an Orla Kiely/Superga* collaboration. I think they are an Italian brand? I hadn't heard of them when I lived in Italy, though. They were a great fit on me. I wore them out and then couldn't find any more in colours other than black and white in London, which for me, are too much like school plimsolls.

*Linking because I love - watch out for bonkers loud music on the superga website though, eek.

Then this week my shoe spy (aka Mr SS) spotted them in a myriad of colours in our local trainer shop. Most of my city will now probably be wearing them! The other fan-shoe here is Dr Martens, everyone wears them here, too (must be all the rugged cobble stones we have to walk over). Mr SS very kindly bought me some today (they run true to size, I am a UK 5.5, so EU 39)

ta-dah

 Man, it's hard to take interesting still-life pics of shoes. Here they are, on my feet, up a wall -

Do you like the socks?

Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx
