Tiny shoes in a big town
Friday, June 5th, 2009
Aren’t they beautiful these diamond pumps? Sorry, we don’t have your size.
One sunny afternoon these glamourus high heels took a walk around the city of Florence. People were looking, thinking what are these shoes doing out on the streets? One pink and one blue isn’t that an odd pair, but it helps you to remember which one is your right or left foot. On the pointy toe of the pumps there are precious Swarovski Element stones, ankle straps and a large bow in the back. They have a large 
but very high heel 10mm, yes millimeters not centimeters. 925 sterling silver plated lining and sole. Almost as fragile as Cinderellas glass heels….
So do you understand now why we don’t have them in your size? Exactly, they aren’t “real” shoes but you can wear them in a different way if you like: on a necklace, bracelet or a key-holder. These pumps are one of many charms by PILGRIM, all their jewellery is 100% nickel-free and each item is handmade. You can find other charms or other jewels from PILGRIM in the romanofirenze shops or on-line.
Shoe-search at Full Up in Florence
Saturday, May 9th, 2009
Thursday night at the club Full Up, Florence, Italy there were -Flash, smiles, good music and T-shirts for everyone that took part of the “il Nuovo Corriere di Firenze” party. The winner of the contest “la commessa ideale” = “the ideal shop assistant” was crowned, Laura La Guardia that work at the perfume department at Esselunga got over a 1000 of votes. She won a weekend to the Italian seaside, and all the others got a T-shirt designed for the occasion by the young florentine stylist Giulia Sella. Even though there weren’t so many participants we had a lots of fun, dancing and enjoying the company of the other shop assistants.
Always in search for beautiful shoes we found some really fancy high heels at the dance floor…..
…and the most trendy shoes were of course ours!
High heels or no heels!
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 
The fashion trends for this summer are certainly enough to make everyone happy! It seems that all kind of styles are “in”. If we say ethnic, bohemic, grecian, fringes, butterflies, romantic styles,graphic patterns, the 80′s look- all you think yes, yes yes and yes…these are all very fashionable styles this summer. And what about colours? It might be easier to mention one colour that isn’t fashionable this summer…
Also for the shoe section you can find many different styles and colours.
But what about the heels? Have you noticed that this summer you either go high heels or no heels? Anyway here in Florence,Italy, you can see this contrast very clearly.
Large heels, cone shaped heels, stiletto heels, wedges they are all high. Fortunatly the platform is a big thing this summer so even if the heels are high at least they are more comfortable.
Ballerinas, gladiator sandals, toe thong sandals in different styles but all very flat. This summer you can find very elegant flats with accessories like fringes, jewelery, patent leather etc. that gives them more importance so one could also wear them for dressed-up occasions.
And what about you, do you go high or low?
