Shoe obsessed….

Jun 08 2014

I am shoe obsessed. A shoeaholic some might say. I LOVE SHOES! Those who know me in ‘real life’ know that with each new season brings a new range of fashion and footwear for me; well the desire for them at least. I am always on the lookout for shoe and accessory sales and while on the hunt for a new cafe with my husband last week I stumbled upon a store I didn’t even realise was there – it must have opened up recently. Ziera. It had a gorgeous yellow handbag in the window that caught my eye and before you ask, of course I poked my head in and had a look around.
