new girl in town

Inma, Gloucester Road. She's just moved here from Spain. It's funny how every time I think someone is too cool to shoot, they turn out to be the nicest ones.
Welcome to the neighbourhood, Inma. We've got the same Converse, by the way!

case closed!

Okay, some of you might recall the lovely Lucy, who was out with Wallace when I dotted them on Gloucester Road way back on the 24th of March. It was a cold day and she was mostly in black, with a great, bit grey flannel type bag, and had these sweet pumps in the kind of nude pink we're all looking forward to wearing lots more of come real spring. I was having trouble sourcing them.

Well Lucy has just got in touch! She DID get them at Liberty - at the Christmas sale - and the brand is Solea. You all probably know about this, but I'd never heard of them. According to Lucy, they're quite common - she might have seen them at Harrods, too. They're sold at Kurt Geiger online, but not that exact style. The ones shown here are the Sindy Pink Courts*, supposedly were £119 ($222 USD) but now the extraordinary price of £19- must be a typo!

But I still like Lucy's best. Guess we'll have to hold out for eBay, or Oxfam.

The weird thing is, this all happened while Mr. Dot & I were watching rented DVDs of the Wire. It's all quite.. mysterious.

Okay, first, I don't know what's going on with this Eastern Style invasion thing. But the plot thickens: Dotted Lucy & Wallace, visiting from Japan, outside Black & Blue, our great local steak & burgers joint on Gloucester Road. Asked Lucy where she got her pretty pink pumps and she said (or so I thought), Liberty, and showed me the logo inside. I saw it with my own eyes! Then I looked up the brand on Liberty's website.. but they don't even have any shoes! I thought, could she have perhaps said Selfridges? Can't find it there. It's not the fabulous French Sole brand - the logo was different.

Looks like I'm going to have to get off my lazy ass and hoof it over to Liberty & see for myself.
