    LFI THELOVEBALL057 Celebrity Shoes: Natalia Vodianova in Louis Vuittons Cancan ankle strap sandals

    I’m not sure if it’s the way they’re cut, the way she’s standing, or just a really bad fit, but these shoes just don’t look comfortable on Natalia Vodianova, do they?

    They’re Louis Vuitton’s Cancan ankle straps, and while I don’t tend to like Louis Vuitton in general, I really don’t like the shape of the heels on this particular line. Natalia obviously does, though, so take a look under the jump for some more photos, and to see what she wore with them!

    faith tia sandals Pewter crossover Tia sandals from Faith

    Up until a few years ago, it used to be the case that most evening shoes were delicate, strappy creations, that could barely be seen on the foot. Those styles still have their place, of course (they’re fantastic if you’re wearing a statement dress, and don’t want to detract attention from it with your shoes), but they do start to blend into one another after a while, so I’ve started to lean towards chunkier shoes, like these ones from Faith, when it comes to evening wear.

    Although these will cover quite a bit of the foot, they’re still very glamorous: for some reason I keep picturing them worn with a white, Marilyn Monroe-style halter-neckdress, but the pewter colour will work with almost anything, and although they’re great to look at in their own right, they won’t steal too much attention away from whatever else you’re wearing, either.

    These are £60, and you can buy them at Faith.

    miu miu glitter sandals Miu Miu glitter embellished platform sandals

    I know I’m always saying that I’m not fond of glitter or sequins on shoes, but I should probably STOP saying it, because no sooner are the words out of my keyboard than some glitter-covered shoes will come along, and force me to eat those words. They’re normally made by Miu Miu, now I come to think of it.

    These spectacular platform sandals are the latest lovelies to have me thinking, “You know, maybe I DO need a pair of glitter-covered shoes after all?” They’re just begging to be danced in, and even although they have a 5.5 inch heel, I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d love to take them up on that. If you would, too, they’re £365 at Net-a-Porter, which means that if you just set aside one tiny pound every day for the next year, you’ll be able to afford them no problem. And when you put it like that…

    flower embellished thong sa Flower embellished thong sandals from River IslandYou know Spring is on its way (And THANK GOD for that, I say!) when every second shoe you see has a great big flower attached to it somewhere.

    These thong sandals are from River Island, and are reminiscent of similar styles by likes of Giuseppe Zannoti from a couple of years back. The frugal part of me says that if you really wanted to get this look, it would be simple enough to buy a fabric flower (You can usually find them attached to hair bands in places like Claire’s Accessories, or, indeed, the accessories section of most high street stores) and stick them onto a pair of flip flops yourself. The lazy part of me, on the other hand, says “True, but if you can’t be bothered doing that, you can just buy these ones for £29.99 at River Island.”

    topshop ashish wedges Weird and possibly wonderful wedges from TopshopTopshop have absolutely excelled themselves in the world of wedges this week, and by that I mean, “Oh my holy hell, can you even IMAGINE wearing these?” They’re the ‘Ashish’ wedges in gold, they’re £150, and they’re probably the most extreme shoes on the site at the moment, but they’re not the only example of Topshop’s foray into the world of weird wedges, and you can see a few more of them in the gallery below. Most of these are available in other colours, so you may also want to take a look at the Topshop website

    to get the full effect. Don’t forget to tell me what you think of them all!

    asos corsage shoes ASOS petal corsage shoes

    Like the corsage peep toes from Next, which I showed you last week, these shoes will probably be of limited use unless you happen to be attending (or involved in) a wedding or similarly formal/dressy event. If you do have a suitable occasion on which to wear them, though, the £45 price tag, combined with the super-feminine look of them, may well appeal. I don’t like to spend a huge amount of money on evening shoes, purely because I know I won’t get a whole lot of use out of them, so these seem fairly reasonably priced, and ASOS.com have quite of few of these semi-bridal styles in stock at the moment, all for similar prices, so it could be worth a look if you find yourself facing a summer filled with special events.

    blue dress Shoeper Shoe Challenge #8: Blue Monday

    What: Nine West cork-soled platforms
    When: Monday, February 22, 2010
    Where: Working and then visiting my in-laws for dinner
    With: Dorothy Perkins dress, tights and belt from who knows where!

    I’ve actually worn these shoes a couple of times recently, but today was the first time I had a chance to take a photo of them! They’re by Nine West, and are clearly a “homage” (ahem!) to Christian Lououtin’s Bruges pumps. I bought them in the States a couple of years ago and wore them a lot in the first year I had them, although they’ve been out of regular rotation until now!

    What are you wearing on your feet today?
