I am aware that there are perfumistas up the entire Pacific Coast, but my memory as to who is where exactly is shaky. There are some in the Portland area, I do know that, as well as the perfumer Shelley Waddington, but I didn't manage to hook up with any other known fumeheads apart from Undina, and that had to be something of a Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-46239476981524138132019-05-02T18:04:18.287+01:002019-05-02T18:04:18.287+01:00Aha, a 'ballet court shoe' - I know exactl...Aha, a 'ballet court shoe' - I know exactly the type. Completely flat shoes are not great for one's feet I don't think. Not enough support or something.<br /><br />I am that soldier, not wanting to make a wrong choice.

Pretty sure Undina (whom I've never met in person) lives one train stop closer to SF than I do. <br />I must really be out of the perfume sphere as I was unaware there was another TF scent based on Vanille. <br />Unlike you, I love shopping for shoes.

I do think option anxiety is a real issue these days, with so much information on the Net. And even when I find reviews, I then have to decide how much weight to give them. <br /><br />I might be in the market for black plimsolls myself too. Though you may have meant something more balletic?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-88554488435308789962019-05-01T21:15:05.116+01:002019-05-01T21:15:05.116+01:00I think they look like very nice plimsolls.

I sometimes feel that I spend far too long investigating everything on line before I eventually make up my mind - I have to read every review there is, and end up getting more and more undecided.

The Undinas did invite me to stay over at theirs and/or meet up the following day for breakfast, but it was such a late gig that that would have been tricky logistically.<br /><br />I didn't know the Americans call high heels pumps?

I'm hoping they'll be back in London at some point. <br /><br />It always tickles me that American's call high heels, pumps. When I recently went on an impulsive/compulsive, mood related spending spree I ordered £110 leopard print trainers I saw on Instagram. They are arriving today.
