Alone time, a new car and why I’ve thrown out half my shoe collection!

Hi folks! Sorry I’ve not been around much lately. I’ve been busy with my new job at Sophie’s Golf Shop and, last weekend hubby took a trip to Germany and we were therefore unable to do any photoshoots. We do, however, have a fantastic new car!

The new car

He and a friend flew out there, bought the car and then drove all the way back to the Algarve. It was quite the road trip apparently – taking in Germany, Switzerland (where the photo, below, was taken), France and Spain before returning home to Portugal. They had such fun though and are already talking about doing it again. I think perhaps we should just enjoy our new car for a bit first though lol!

As for me, I had a lovely chilled out few days on my own. I watched lots of TV, pigged out on all the foods that hubby doesn’t like to eat, had dinner out with my neighbour and her kids, and also indulged in a few glasses of bubbly! It was bliss…but it was lovely to have my man back, safe and sound by the Sunday evening.

The car we bought is a beautiful Audi A6 Avant and we’re really thrilled with it. We’re super excited for our (much shorter) trip next month. We’re off to Oporto in the north of Portugal to pick up some friends from the airport and we’ve booked to stay a few nights before heading home. We’ve been before and absolutely love the city, but I’ll tell you more after we’ve visited.

My shoe collection

I’ll be back again soon with some more fun outfits, although I’ve recently got rid of half of my shoe collection, so dressing has becoming a bit more of a challenge! Why did I get rid of so many shoes and boots? Because my poor feet (bunions) have been giving me so many aches and pains lately that I just couldn’t face wearing shoes that no longer felt comfortable. I’ve kept a few pairs of heels that I just adore, but anything that caused real pain had to go.

Since throwing them all away, I’ve bought a pair of black FILA trainers to wear for work, a pair of black sequinned Converse and last weekend I went looking for a pair of white sneakers and ended up with a pair in ‘oatmeal’ instead lol. They’re Nike’s and I adore them! It’s all about comfort – as well as style of course!

Ciao bambinos. I’m off for a ride in the new car now. Catch ya later <3
