I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty. - Imelda Marcos.

It is a sad but true fact that the amount of fun I'm having in the real world can be very easily gauged by my activities (or lack thereof) in the blogosphere.  An absence of two weeks can mean only one thing then - my wonderful friends and family have been keeping me far too busy and entertained over the Easter break and I have neglected my blogging duties.  Fortunately for you (because I know you have been missing me terribly), I am now back in Barcelona with a long list of blog posts and lots of lovely time to write them in.

Starting with this...

Lots of loooovely heels, all by the amazing Steve Madden.

I'd been on a hunt for a new pair of vertigo-inducing heels for months and, after a brief trip to the Steve Madden shop in Soho, have spent a hideously long time lusting after almost every single one of his designs on the online store - I would quite happily add any one of these pairs (or preferably all of them?!) to my shoe collection, if only my finances would allow it.  

Or maybe some kind, rich man will pop into my life, just desperate to spend hundreds of his hard-earned pounds on beautiful shoes for me?!  Enter http://www.sugardaddie.com - this website actually exists; I saw a billboard advertisement for it on my way to Norfolk at the weekend.  I'm joking.  I think.  For now.

In the meantime, I suppose I will have to make do with these Madden-inspired beauties from New Look...

Last pair in the shop.  My size.  £25.  Meant to be?

Right, now that boasting is over, I'm going to make myself a laaarge cup of peppermint tea and start reading all the wonderful posts that I have been missing out on during my extended absence.  This mammoth task could well keep me occupied for another fortnight, so in the meantime I will leave you with these exciting discount codes for some of your favourite online stores, courtesy of Daisy Bell at discountcoder.com.
