Comfy?
I’m back outside the Liberty Florists again! I knew I’d have outfit shots here before long, Lucy and I were wandering past…the light was going and we were inspired to take a few snaps.
My outfit looks super comfortable, right? You’d think so, it’s the cosy jumper that gives that impression (and cosy it is!), but it was the bottom half that let me down. I found these Opening Ceremony shoes on eBay for a bargainous price after admiring Sandra’s styling of them over the past year or so. And it seems I subliminally dressed with her as my inspiration too! What Sandra hadn’t mentioned is how uncomfortable they are! It’s a sad thing to find out a pair of shoes you’ve been lusting after are practically unwearable…after walking to the end of Oxford Street, my saviour Lucy offered to swap shoes. This gave my outfit an altogether different look, as I found myself in platform Converse-style trainers that were a size too big!
For the millionth time, I learnt my lesson; don’t wear heels! It’s never worth it! Next time I put these laced-up beauties on my feet, I’ll make sure it’s for sitting down and not wandering the streets of London. But then I also said I’d never drink again after it made me sick the first time around…oops.
Any tips for training your feet in to wearing heels, ladies?! x

Think this has to be one of your best outfit posts. And thats not talking about the clothes, I just love the colours and you match the background so well and your new hair truly is working well for you x
And the flowers are so beautiful also x
Beautiful pictures as always Carrie! Shane about the heels -they look stunning though! X
*shame
I love this look- your bangs and beret are so cute.
I’ve found that my poor memory is a great aid in overcoming the discomfort of high heels. Some shoes pinch and pain but a month later, the memory has softened and I convince myself it wasn’t that bad. (It always was that bad, of course!)
You look really really good with your new hair.
Loved the pictures, always great. The outfit is really cute and I wish I had the same it bag from Mulberry.
Those shoes are fabulous! xo
You’re so sweet
I love your pictures and this outfit
Xxx,

I wish I had mastered the art of walking in heels for hours… but it seems just so impossible! I often find myself planning my day around the shoes I’m wearing, just so my feet don’t have to hurt too much.
I love the outfit you’re wearing and, obviously, the background is just stunning as well.

Ahh the heels problem! To be honest I only ever wear small heels (2 inches maximum), and only when my other shoes really don’t match my outfit/for special occasions/when I can sit a lot
But never to walk around the city, that’s for sure! And even though sometimes shoes with higher heels look really beautiful I don’t think I’ll ever wear them, I’d end up walking like a wooden toy in them, while you can look very elegant with just a small heel 
Though the cussion idea I read here is a good one, guess I’ll try them out in my heels too!
Is this outside Libertys? xx

Duffle coat and flowers? Love this post!
Oh wow, I love everything about this post. Your coat, your amazing skirt with those shoes, the flowers, the colours… this is so, so pretty.
And that lovely grey jumper is the exact thing I’ve been looking for – too bad UK Urban Outfitters don’t ship to New Zealand!
I’ve come to the sad conclusion that unless I’m willing to spend an obscene amount on a pair of heels, there’s really no way I’ll be able to actually wear them and walk places. I wear all my heels at the office, and sometimes take a pair with me to the mall (I switch the flats I wore to get there, then switch back when I leave). Too bad they’re painful though, they’re so cute!
WOW. i love everything!! yout coat, tyour skirt and the shoes! the bag is amazing.. Do you know the italian brand Il Bisonte? i’m sure you’ll love it!! it’s an italian brand so vintage and chic!
