When was the last time you treated yourself to something? Something that was just for you?
I don’t do it all that often, but when I do, shoes are my go-to treat of choice. My budget isn’t huge but my love for comfort, style and a sneaky little treat is!
I know you love a good pair of shoes too, so when the good people at MARKS & SPENCER asked if I would like to introduce you to theirs, I was all over it.

Casual Chic is pretty much my daily uniform. Think jeans, a tee and a comfy pair of shoes.
My days are action packed, with everything from school runs to do and meetings to attend. It’s a constant juggling act and one that requires shoes that are stylish, comfortable and able to last the distance.
HELLO leather lace-up sporty trainers. IN GOLD. That look like brogues but are actually trainers. It is so lovely to meet you!
Don’t be alarmed by the words sporty and trainers. No actual sport or training has been done in these shoes.
Although I have done a fair bit of coffee drinking in them and can confirm the comfort levels are superior.
Shoe shopping aside, taking time out for a coffee break each day is a great way to treat yourself. As is getting some fresh air, admiring a bunch of beautiful flowers, reading a book or magazine, going for a quick bike ride or lighting your favourite candle.
These are all things I do on a regular basis – well apart from the quick bike ride. That probably doesn’t happen as often as it should – but taking a few minutes to treat myself, particularly when I’m at my busiest, is almost like hitting a reset button.
And if a gorgeous pair of shoes happens to land in my shopping cart at the same time, well, that’s even better!
Feel like treating yourself to a pair?
- Marks & Spencer Footglove Leather Lace-Up Sporty Trainers $81 I’m an Australian size 7 and I’m wearing a UK size 5.5 as the 5 wasn’t available and I really wanted to treat myself to them! They fit really well.
- M&S Collection Cotton Rich Mid Rise Super Skinny Jeggings in Bright Blue $41 I’m wearing size 14, short length
- M&S Collection Cotton Rich Striped Long Sleeve Sweatshirt, $41 I’m wearing a size 14
I also like to treat myself to trying sometime new every now and again.
The ankle boot works so well with a skinny jean but team a pair with a dress and you’re rocking a whole new look.
Not so long ago I would never have been confident enough to wear boots with a dress. But now I’ll give anything a go.
If you haven’t given the boot and dress combo a try before, perhaps now is the time to for you to give it a go too.
You might just surprise yourself at how good you look and, more importantly, feel when you take a fashion risk.
