While devouring one of my favouritest blogs,
yes dear, I noticed that she has a competition going on with
spartoo where bloggers get the chance to win a 100 euro gift card to it. All you have to do is find a pair (or in my case PAIRS) of shoes that you like and blog about them. Sound easy? Well, it isn't. The website is full of shoes (my weakness), one more beautiful than the other. I also have a history of never winning anything (but never say never, right?).
I think I took my "job" a little too seriously because I actually looked through every single pair of women's shoes in order to make an educated decision. While browsing, my eye kept jumping to the more intricate pairs of shoes (oh, there were some gorgeous ones), but I turned them down one by one (because I'd have nothing to wear with them). Instead, I discovered that living in this country has really left a mark on me, since all the shoes that I bookmarked had a certain minimalist thing going on. I have never really felt in touch with my nationality (having lived abroad for so long), but after seeing the results of this undercover shoe-test I'm beginning to notice that I still have the odd bit of Nordic blood running through my veins.
Suomeksi: Lueskellessani erästä lemppari-blogiani, yes dear, löysin spartoon sponssaaman kisan bloggareille (kipin kapin osallistumaan sinäkin siitä!), jossa piti kyseiseltä saitilta etsiä omat suosikki kengät. Minulle niitä kuintekin kertyi kymmeniä (joista teidän onneksenne karsin huomattavan osan pois). Tuli siinä sivussa huomattua kuinka suomalaisuus tekee paluuta minuun, rakastuin nimittäin paljon yksinkertaisempiin kenkiin kuin yleensä. Pidemmittä puheitta alla todellisia kenkä-aarteita:
Without further ado here's some inspiration in the form of
shoes:

Betty London- Mesise (50 euros). At a glance these gladiators are really the odd pair out. But they are simply the most perfect gladiator-sandals I could imagine (actually I might have imagined them a few times in day dreams). I love how basic, rustic and antique-y they look. The clasps are perfect and the colour is sublime. Come to think of it, most of the Betty London shoes I spotted were incredible. New fave? Maybe!
Betty Londonin Mesise-gladiaattorit. Ei oikein sovi näihin muihin kenkiin, mutta näin täydellinen pari oli pakko postata! Kauniit, sopivan leveät remmit. Ihana antiikkinen ulkonäkö. Ei mitään ylimääräistä härvellystä, vain kauniit gladiaattorit. Ahh... Betty Londoning muutkin kengät oli muuten ihania, elikkä taitaapi olla ihan uus lemppari löytynyt! |
 |
LOLA-wedges (53 euros). Sleek, simple, perfect. YUM! Come to mummy!
LOLA-kiilat. Niin herkullisen yksinkertainen yhdistelmä puuta ja nahkaa. NAMI! |
 |
AMAZONAS (119 euros). I love how playful these are while still being a really sexy pair of red heels. They look so...touchable!
Nämä ei ole ihan mitkä vaan punaiset kengät, vaan leikkisän seksikkäät. Varmaan myös tosi sileä, kosketeltava pinta. |

Sefda Cognac (84 euros). I've been looking for a great pair of wedged shoes I could wear with jeans and skirts- these would certainly be a great candidate (Ok, the ONLY option). I love the warm tone of the leather (or faux-leather?) and the rope detail and just the general "spirit" they convey. I want.
These are also available in my favourite colour: black. If I won, one (maybe two) pairs of these would grace my shelves before you had the time to say COGNAC! What an orgasmic pair of shoes...
Nämä Sefda Cognac- kengät on täydellinen unelma: ihana lämmin väri ja kaunista naru yksityiskohtaa. Olen ettinyt just tämmöisiä mm. Ruotsista, mutta ei oo vielä tullu vastaan. Jos voittaisin nää ois mun hyllyllä kädenkäänteessä (mutta ei ne siellä pitkään ois ku niille on niin paljon käyttöä!). Suorastaan hekumalliset!
Wish me luck because these shoes ROCK and I would love to own a pair. And if lady luck forsakes me (yet again) I have found some drool-worthy shoe-spiration for sad and rainy days. So I guess it's a win either way. Thank you Spartoo and Piu for this opportunity!
Elikkä toivottakaa onnea kisaan, ja jos käy huonosti (tai no, normaalisti) ja en voita niin mulla on ainakin TOSI paljon kenkä inpiraatiota syksyisiin masennuspäiviin. Kiitos spartoo ja Piu (sulle iso kiitos myös kesälukemisesta blogisi muodossa)!
Thank you lovelies for reading!
