During lunch yesterday, I was innocently taking a stroll in the neighbourhood where my my office is, unbeknownst to the danger that lurked around the corner. What was so daunting, you might ask? A sample sale! A SHOE sample sale!

I walked past the tiny door of the small shop slash PR office of Ash shoes and Lola Cruz. I kind of stopped in my tracks and did a sharp left turn straight into the shop, just to browse. Browsing turned into some serious shopping when I found £135 sandals for £50! The staff (just two cute little ladies) were very helpful and dug around in the back to find the right sizes for me. It wasn’t crowded so I was able to spread out and try on all the shoes I wanted. Overall, the second sample sale success I’ve had in London. Err, my bank account and I are in trouble.

Here are some photos of the sale. Scroll to the bottom to see photos of the shoes I bought.

My loot! They look so so on their own, but I hope to style them up so they look unique. Did I mention how comfortable these shoes are yet?

Ash studded leather trainers, originally £110. I paid £40.

Lola Cruz platforms, originally £114. I paid £40.
