(Original artwork by Jessica Steele)03/Paris wearing black patent lace ups
I was lucky enough to have the chance to spend a week in Paris several years ago and when you’re just 20 years old and given the opportunity to see one of the most beautiful cities in the world – naturally your first concern is footwear. Prior to my trip I had spotted the most amazing pair of patent leather booties in a store (that I no longer can recall) but alas they were out of my size. I spent weeks combing other locations until one day, in a Cinderella like moment I found them. The last pair. Size 7. Black patent leather with satin ribbon laces. And clicking around the streets of Paris at night wearing those beauties I was practically Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina (you know, in my mind at least…).
