I have too many shoes…
A closet fact.
Point in case, a forgotten pair of Lanvin strappy sandals were found languishing in Boo’s boudoir last week. Beneath all Boo’s poly cotton onesies – a gleaming pair of satin open toe pumps peeped out.
Enough is enough..
They’ve been strapped to my ankles ever since – loyal l u x e
and I just can’t let this happen again. They need a l u x e lodge.
I’ve garnered some support from Mr. Luxe, threatening to donate his space taking Mod vinyl collection to Dog’s trust. It worked.
And initially, he made all the right noises, suggesting I catalogue my collection into seasons. Think he thought he was buying time.
So I did.
Then he threw a curve ball with the ridiculous idea that I dispose of my much coveted shoe boxes.
Not happening.
And then I had an ingenious idea – a closet compromise.
The kids are going on display. I’m thinking; a colour coded, cabinet cocooned, showboat of all my favourite sandals.
A l u x e display
Boxes can bunk out in the cellar – once bubble wrapped obvs.
So Thursday night, I began pinteresting and Mr. Luxe set on the elle deco mags like a rabied dog – Boo slept.
We’ve decided we need a vintage something or other;
Maybe mid-century
With glass fronted panels
Plus room for ‘Choo’ spares.
L u x e complex? It is.
To get the ball rolling, I’ve insisted we spend the bank-holiday near more vintage rich pickings. So we’re booked for an easter egg gorging, wine gulping, vintage cabinet hunting weekend up in Shoreditch.
Watch this space.
[OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER] As my collection is – let’s be honest – predominantly darker tones, I’ll probably need to source a few more pairs – colours – to make the cabinet aesthetically more cohesive.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
