| Poor Selfridges, on it's big day, it went and rained..... Gemma Arterton stood on the canopy whilst her Shoeper hero offered her the shoes of her dreams. Really, what more could a girl want, except maybe Daniel Craig on his knees placing the shoes of your dreams on your feet... now that would be rather nice |
 |
| due to the rain and my poor planning, my pics are rubbish |
 |
| here is my lovely big shoe, it was moved for the pic and it never got moved it back, until I happened along at lunch time.... |
 |
| These days, as I write another shoe related post, I'm even asking myself - is the subject of shoes ever going to bore me, or for that matter you, dear reader? But then along comes another shoe related picture worthy subject to post about. and those thoughts go out the window. Here are some especially sweet shoe related delicacies, shaped rather like old peoples slippers, but containing cream and a raspberry rather than a crinkly foot |
 |
| Aren't they the cutest? Sadly I didn't eat one, so I cannot tell you if they are as tasty as they look |
 |
| like shoes? like shoeboxes? then you will like these windows |
 |
| over 25 designers and brands designed a bespoke shoe box containing something glorious and here they all are. Piled floor to ceiling into two windows at Selfridges and looking rather good |

| Field - an installation by Dominic Wilcox http://www.dominicwilcox.com/field.html |
 |
| Bless Dominic, he had to do this installation twice already, once when we agreed and then once again after the fire curtain unexpectedly came down and a big fat builder waded through it |
 |
| Installed in the new shoe galleries in Selfridges, a field of shoes with green laces springing and spiraling upwards towards the daylight |
 |
| the oak room - the room that makes shit shoes look great |
 |
Having said that, not all the shoes in this room are shit. Afterall only yesterday, I found myself looking rather longingly at a pair of Nicole Fahri brothel creepers |
 |
| Heartwarming, comforting, warm and reassuringly solid |
 |
| The use of old shoe lasts is a genius touch, referencing as it does, the good old days of qualty workmanship, bespoke hand crafted shoes, cobblers that cared. It is an over the shoulder glance at the the glorious handmade shoe days of the past. |
 |
Through the space are placed some achingly large solid oak blocks and pewter has been poured into every crack in the wood. It is a heartwarming combination of matierials. |
