STYLE OF LIFE: Stocking Fillers

Well the tree is up and even if it was dressed by my four year-old and all the decorations are no higher than her, it looks amazing. I have miraculously completed all of my Christmas shopping, all that is left is to wrap the presents and sign the cards.

We are going away for about a month to Brisbane to house and cat-sit for a friend who is spending Christmas in London and Europe. I am treating this like a holiday because where we are staying is just delightful. Coffee and movies and slowly browsing the many bookstores will be a favourite pastime.

I decided that I would do my utmost to put together a post of the most amazing shoes that I have been able to find over the past few months. This is my Christmas present to my gorgeous readers, thank you for all your comments and for just popping in to read this year, you have been wonderful and my saving grace.

Deck the halls... tra la la la la la la la la!

These gorgeously decorative YSL heels look as if they would make the perfect tree ornament, yes?

Versace spotted platform pumps - I want a pair of these just so I can see if I can walk in them!

Thakoon - divine!

Tabitha Simmons - a new shining star on the women's shoe designer front and Vogue fashion editor.

Tabitha Simmons - these look so comfy, me likey!

Whoa, these boots and tights are intense... you would not be able cross your legs wearing these!

Proenza - unusual design, not sure if I like these, they don't look to comfy either but they are nothing if not original.

Prada Mohawk, these babies rock!

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte - it's all in the detail, j'adore the detail!

I'm not too fussed on the boots, but I do like the sparkly socks

Alexander McQueen SS2010 - beam me up Scotty, these look like they have come from the future. Incredible!

Stunning detail on these heels.

Louis Vuitton - a very unusual collection was offered this season. I think these are the best of a bad bunch. They look a little like a clog crossed with a Birkenstock.
