Escape

Have you ever just wanted to escape from the general hustle and bustle of city life?

Run away from all the stress and worry?

Not to run away and hide though... to run away and see something amazing!

Something that you wouldn't be able to see by just sitting at your office desk Monday to Friday 9-5, something you wouldn't be able to experience sitting in your usual booth at your favourite club on a Saturday night. Not that you hate your life, but you feel that there is so much more in life to see, experience and take part in and your current day to day life is stopping you from doing these things.

Well I feel like that now.

As much as I love my friends, family, shoes, the city I live in, even my job! I feel like all these things are stopping me from packing up and escaping for 12 months to see the world! Family duties, job duties, the wrench of leaving people behind even though you are going to come back at some point. Not forgetting the major factor.

Money.

Our general day to day life stops us from seeing what else is out there. We get so involved in the life that we live, even though for many people it revolves around one country, or even just one city. We get so involved that we forget about what else is out there.

There is a whole world out there to see... a whole world that we haven't seen! We can see it in photos or on TV but none of that could ever experience seeing it in person.

We book holidays with our friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, family. We go away for a couple of weeks a year. We work hard to do this. We work hard just for those couple of weeks away. I don't think this is enough. I think the society we live in should encourage people to see the planet that we live in more. As we could be missing out on so much!

If you are a complete fashion obsessed girl like me, then imagine how many other countries you could wear those shoes in? Imagine how many new outfits you could find in all these different countries. Travel means new clothes! It means shopping trips to buy lovely things to take with you!

Escape is a must! We need to escape more often and see where we live! As we don't just live in this city... or in this town! We live on this planet. So why are we letting it go to waste?

Shoes

Shoes.

Such a short, ordinary word that fills millions of girls with excitement and lust!

I can't remember when my obsession with shoes first started, I don't think there was ever really a start. It was probably always there from when I was a little girl but only really came to light when I grew up and had my own money to buy all these pretty, fabulous, ever changing creations.



Shoes can make you feel good about yourself, they can change your mood in a moment. They can transform an outfit. They can also cause a major strain on your bank balance!

You have your comfy shoes which you can always fall back on and you will probably keep until they are literally falling apart at the seams but then you still hesitate at throwing them away! You also have the shoes that are incredible to look at, some would call them a work of art but they are complete agony to walk in. Yet you still wear them and suffer the pain just to be seen in them. Are we mad?

I love it when you get a new pair of shoes, you carefully take them out of the box and slip them on your feet. You sit there twisting your foot from side to side admiring each view. You strut or stumble around the bedroom seeing how they are to walk in, stopping in front of the mirror for yet another view.

I can't say I'm a lover of "kitten" heels. For me it is either flats or skyscraper heels! Why only go half way when you have got the choice to touch the sky? Flats are home, skyscrapers are New York, so why stop half way? Don't you want to see New York?
