Behold the Penelope Chilvers slipper shoe, truly a thing of great comfort and joy. Handmade by Spanish artisans, too. Whilst we wait for Jeremy Hunt to go and spend more time with his family, and the rain to stop (funny, eh? It's been like One Hundred Years Of Solitude ever since the government announced a hosepipe ban), let's unwind with some luxurious, grown-up loungewear. You can't beat easy chic. I love a multitasking item that works both day and evening, indoors and out. My goal is to embrace 24-hour style, to cultivate a go-anywhere look. And, in that parallel universe where I can afford expensive things - apparently Penelope Chilvers is making a pair of boots for the Duchess of Cambridge - I'd be lolling around like Loulou de la Falaise...
back in the good old days at Yves Saint Laurent's Moroccan joint. Wearing my dandy slippers with harem/palazzo pants and a simple t-shirt. Or a maxi skirt and slinky jersey top. Might even throw on a kaftan.
Time to plan another holiday, I think (just need to pay off the credit card first) and somewhere that's not in the Eurozone makes good financial sense. Probably pick up a pair of slippers on the cheap too.

Mmmm, slipper-shoes. I went to the site and I'm now gaga for the Cha Cha Cha pumps.
I also went to the site, and now I have to find out where they can be purchased in the U.S.!
Ah lounge wear and pink slippers - it sounds very Noel Coward and wonderful! I want a pair of these! Yes, I'm drinking a little too much coffee over here as well to counteract the effect of our grey, drizzly cold weather - it just seems to make it all better! :)
Yeah...I'm not sure what to think of these, if I was in in WASPy New England I'd have oodles of the, can we pull it off here?
Oh and this:
My goal is to embrace 24-hour style, to cultivate a go-anywhere look.
Yes, taking out my prayer mat.
Slippahs! I'm probably going to end up with some Belgians....
They are gorgeous. Am off to check out the website - you are not good for my bank balance TNMA!! x
In love with these slipper shoes. I'm becoming aware of the allure of flats. Off to check the website.

The Penelope Chilvers slippers remind me of the Charles Philips slippers featured on Habitually Chic blog last month. They're both beautiful. I may need another pair!!
