    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Did you get them from New Look by any chance? If so. I've seen them and they are fab!! :)

    Not New Look no... but very similar! They are so hot, I just need to fix the falling off glitter thing and the general uncomfortableness of them! And then they would perfect!

    Oh I feeeeeel for you, back in my pre OS days *coff* I spent £70 on my Cinderella shoes

    I love these shoes soooooooooooooo much but the glitter has come off the toes. Friends did suggest rolling them in new glitter but I'm scared of wrecking them so I only wear them for very, very special occasions - like my birthday party next week :T

    Hope you find a good solution because I will so nick it! :D

    Mine were only £30 and a treat as I am 11 weeks clean of smoking. I plan to wear them on Saturday to a wedding and I hope I don't upstage the bride. I'm thinking of trying the hairspray first, will let you know how I get on!

    Hairspray or spray mount from a craft shop would work. I had some old tatty black boots once which I couldn't bare to part with so i spray painted them red and covered in glitter. They were fab.

    A quick fix might be to spray them with hairspray??

    Yes hairspray is a good fixative. I use the cheapest I can find it to fix my charcoal drawings and pastels, instead of the expensive artist's sprays.
