I remember when I first really noticed and appreciated the Bouncing Soles; it was last year, perhaps the year before, and whilst aimlessly flicking through a magazine, glazing over the typical trends of the time, a photograph of Daisy Lowe caught my eye. She was dressed like your average london living girl, printed tee accompanied by a grey cardigan and not forgetting the black skinnies, no glamour, no glitz, a scruffy bun and minimal make-up, but what really caught my eye was the glistening pair of patent pink DM's she was sporting, they were the outfit maker. These 2 little boots, perfectly polished and gleaming, had the ability to totally change the message of her look, from ' the model who couldn't quite be bothered to make the effort for tonight's event' to ' Daisy Lowe and THOSE boots'.
They are a fine example of a fashion breakthrough, one of few pieces within fashion that will never lose their spark, the moment you see them, it's just love, the kind of love a mother has for a child some might say.
I was reminded of their beauty today, a good friend of mine was sporting a gleaming white pair in a photograph, and as soon as I saw them, there it was, that adoration I had felt for such a long time before realizing I could not afford them in my life; and I came to the conclusion, I need a pair in my life. No arguments or questions, I must have them.
My birthday is 70 days away, if you love me enough to get me the best present ever, I will be the biggest grinning cheshire cat. And if not, it will be £115 of my slaving retail money well spent.
Move over Daisy, they're mine.
