Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

'Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.' - Marilyn Monroe

Obviously, no girl has yet to conquer the world. And why? Because she obviously hasn't found the right shoes yet!

And that is the best answer any girl can give the next time someone says:
'You have a lot of shoes already - why do you need more?!'

I realised after writing my first few entries with my OOTD that it may look as though I only own one pair of shoes...and I laughed for quite a while at that thought!

In fact when I was in my 3rd & 4th years at college, my friend Rowan nicknamed me Caligula - or Kiggy for short.

Those of you who aren't so brushed up on history I'll give a quick explanation - 


Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; was Roman Emperor from 37 AD to 41 AD. 

The young Gaius earned the nickname Caligula (meaning "little soldier's boot" or "Little Boots".) the diminutive form of caliga.

Ok so History is done for today...back to shoes...

I have tiny size 3 Feet (UK) and back at college I managed to go 3 weeks wearing a different pair of boots every day.

That's right - at one time in my life I owned 15 pairs of boots. 
All shapes & colours! Now most of those have fallen apart, and I haven't quite got round to replacing all of them (yet!)

But I do have a pretty impressive shoe collection for someone with small feet, and lucky for you I am willing to share it - even the not so glamorous ones!
