Spider Web Shoes
I recently discovered the most deliciously tempting shoe range. I am not known for my femininity, as those who know me will attest; it is like I am missing the girly gene. So it came as a shock to me when I was seduced by my first pair by Hot Chocolate Design; they were so me, and they had stirred a strange yearning inside that gave me cause for concern. I was feeling like the Grinch at the end of the film, all toasty inside, what is the deal?

This particular pair have a blush of the most subtle pink (nude some would say), like the last flush in the cheeks of a nubile victim of Vlad's, as life slowly ebbs away. The main body of the shoes and the cross strap are covered in clusters of tiny black flowers

On the heels is a black web, the stabilimentum woven by an industrious arachnid. The spider's web forms an intricate connection from the main body of the shoes to the cross strap. Inside they are a hot pink, the shade of a strumpet’s lipstick.

Scrumptious Box
Not only were these shoes a gorgeous design, to finish off the whole shoe experience, they arrived in the most beautifully delectable coffer that looks like a high end cake box. The box itself is reminiscent of a slice of the most decadent chocolate cake, layered with a velvety pink butter cream. The bottom of the slice wrapped in a delicate lace doily and topped with lashings of pink frosting and dotted with Iced Gems to add the finishing flourish and vintage vibe.

Dravulia Shoes
Then before Yule I fell victim again, overcome with a second bout of shoe desire. I had not recovered from my first affliction when I saw yet another design that seemed created for me, it's like the designer had been inside my head.
I had dropped a few subtle hints for Vlad, like here is my next pair of Hot Chocolate Shoes and like magic they appeared, though I think Krampus had a hand in this.

These shoes are as dark as a moonless night sky, with a texture that I can only describe as bat skin, that's if they had been made of fur (maybe they are made from smote seal pups) but don't be put off.

The inside of the shoes are as black as my heart, they resembled a satin lined Linder coffin, and the blood of a recently dispatched soul trickles down each heel and oozes down to form the crimson soles. On the outside edge of each shoe is the wing of a bat, that is what I call up-cycling for those Eco warrior's. The pièce de résistance is that each shoe sports the bone white fangs of a vampire protruding down from either side of the T strap that forms the perfect black cross. I sometimes find Vladimir reposing in the shoes, such is their resemblance to a coffin.
Hot Chocolate Design were founded in Venezuela in 2004 by Pablo Martínez & Carolina Aguerrevere. Design inspiration coming from their love of all things vintage and the childhood feelings that this invokes. The designs are limited; therefore retired designs have now become collector's items. They are an unwonted accessory brand, with shoes forming only a part of their design collections.
Just when I thought it was safe I have been smitten once again by yet another must have pair of Hot Chocolate Design shoes but those are for a another day.

I wore my Spider web shoes on a recent evening soiree, if only I was as elegant as the shoes. I liken my ungainly walking style to Tina Turner on ice rather than the graceful Darcy Bussell, as my friends will testify! Their laughter still cuts me like a Spanish tickler!

I hope that Hot Chocolate Design likes the review of their delectable shoes, with the Wintermarsh Street and Ms Crockofshit twist and I thank them for allowing me to use some of their pictures on my blog post.
In my opinion you can keep your Jimmy Choo’s and Louis Vuitton’s, because you know what I think about your opinion,
give me these unique and quirky shoes every time.
