Tonight I descended into 'The house of Coco Tang' where I discovered a secret world of cocktails creations and late-night glamour discreetly hidden beneath the cobbled streets of Nottingham. And all within whispering distance of the fashion boutiques of Bridlesmiths gate. A red lantern sits above a slim doorway leading downstairs to a cavern of interlinking rooms inspired by Shanghai opium dens and the American Prohibition secret clubs.
I had thrown my mummy shackles off for a couple of hours and gone to an
Fashiolista event that I had won entry to where free
Nelly High Heel shoes beckoned. I had been standing in the line with the young , the hip and the trendy feeling my age. But you know what despite watching young ladies defying the laws of gravity in the sort of shoes that Victoria Beckham wears i was pleasantly surprised by the attitude of them. they didn't bat at mascara enhanced eye lash at me. In fact I was here they talking about vintage fashion, school trips to prison of war camps etc so it really does show you should never ever judge a book by its cover.
After a while I was ably rescued by my mate Di Coke and we advanced to the VIP line and we were straight in. Di has also won entry in the club for a pair of some fabulous shoes.
With fashion on a twenty year cycle scary I know the 1990s are now back in fashion! and these shoes are very much to die for with a wide variety of styles.

Nelly High Heel shoes. |
The high heels come in a variety of style from the Geri Halliwell cool Britannia inspired ones you see above to the glitzy silver sequined shoes to the right. These shoes wouldn't look out of place in a design museum and a pair of red glittery high heel shoes that Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz would have gone wild for!

With the cocktails flowing it was a really fun event...

The aptly named Fabulous shoes from Nelly High heels. |
Scandanavia's number one online fashion retailer is now launching here in the UK and they're doing it in style...
(Disclaimer I have not been asked to write this I won entry into this event and I am just waiting on delivery of my free shoes from the event )
Oh wow I love the Fabulous and the one next to it with the spikes. So jealous of you and Di right now!
