Ever seen a pair of shoes that lead you to think if only they had that extra something special? Ever just wish you could add that extra addition of flourish or detail to take a gorgeous shoe to a new level?

Well now is your chance to try out your skills at custom-making your very own pair of shoes, with Melissa Australia’s flagship Melbourne store, M Dreams hosting shoe customisation workshops over the next few days in the delightfully dreamy Glass house space at QV.

A ticket at $69.00 includes the price of your choice of shoes; either a pair of the Patchuli wedges or Aranha Hits sandals in your size, as well as all the embellishments and trims you need to pimp your pumps until your heart is content!

We all know what a great pair of

shoes can do for a girl, so  be prepared to leave the workshop looking like Dorothy skipping down that Yellow Brick Road in her embellished sequin heels!

1. Free nail art – Saturday, 28 September to Sunday, 29 September:  Because unintentionally it seems that Melbourne Darling will have provided every Melbourne girl an opportunity to score a free nail art session by the end of the month!

2. Butterfly Enclosure – Friday, 4 October to Sunday, 6 October 2013: Explore the interactive, dazzling Butterfly enclosure set up within the Glasshouse and support the Butterfly Foundation with a gold coin donation.

3. Flower Arranging Workshop -  Monday, 30th September: You’ve been inspired by the beauty of nature in the Butterfly enclosure, now learn how to bring the beauty of nature indoors with the insightful tips and tricks on how to create your own bouquets, and take one home with you!

If you have yet to become acquainted with this unique footwear brand, you can visit their flagship Melbourne store ‘M Dreams’ located in the QV building. They have a fantastic selection of summer shoes that are as comfortable to wear as they are gorgeous to look at.

My favourites at the moment are the multi coloured ‘Aranha Hits’ jelly sandals and ‘Peace III’ t-bar, peep-toe and towering wedge all in one; what more does a girl need in a perfect summer shoe? My pick is for the nude or white gloss but any of these classic colours could see you through a summer of different outfits!

Muse of the Month September 2013: Smart Bitches Trashy Books Blogger and Author – Sarah Wendell

I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the Muse of the Month feature on this new blog with a spotlight on another blogger -  Sarah Wendell. I was luckily enough to be present at one of Sarah’s talks as a part of her visit to Melbourne for the Melbourne Writers Festival in late August and I was impressively inspired by her fun sense of humour and refreshingly kick-ass attitude. The way she spoke about her popular romance book review blog Smart Bitches Trashy Books just resonated with me in that I found it was a great example of personal achievement and how if you are truly passionate about something, with hardwork and persistence you can achieve great things! Sarah is Melbourne Darling’s Muse of the Month for September 2013 because  of her contribution to blogging, her wonderfully entertaining writing style and her work in creating a wonderful online community for romance readers

I am not a romance reader at all, but I definitely don’t think you need to be in order to take something from the determined nature and passion that Sarah embodied in her talk. Additionally,  I really loved the sense of community that Sarah spoke about in what she has created in her blog -  a community for romance readers. It makes me want to look past my tendency to eye-roll at any book cover  featuring a long haired, billowing white-shirted muscled specimens of masculinity and my ability to find the corniness in almost any romantic gesture written about on paper just to be able to join this awesome club of like-minded romance readers! So yes –  I did still manage to find a great source of enjoyment on Sarah’s website without even having to pick up a Fabio covered novel, and if you don’t believe me you should definitely check out the following reviews of some amazingly awful romance novels, which I tempt you to read, these remance stories are so bad they are hilariously good which make for some very entertaining reviews:

  1. Pregnesia
  2. Hedging His Bets (The Were-hedgehog story)
  3. The Playboy Sheikh’s Virgin Stable Girl

For other great romance book reviews or some more entertaing reads, make sure to check out Sarah Wendel’s site Smart Bitches Trashy Books.

Love,

Melbourne Darling xo
