Gifts that come in shoe boxes are always the very best gifts of all, as far as I’m concerned, and this week I was lucky enough to be sent a pair of shoes as a gift from Sepatu London.

Sepatu’s goal is to make beautiful shoes at affordable prices. My goal, meanwhile, is to BUY beautiful shoes at affordable prices, so obviously we were a pretty good match, and when I found these nude patent peep toes, I knew I’d found my shoes, as I’ve been looking for this style for a while now.

These shoes are called ‘Arista’, and retail for £35. As well as the colour, I was also drawn to the little bows on the toe:

The fit is true to size, and they seem comfortable to walk in, although so far I’ve only tested them around the house: their real trial will come soon, when I try to work them into a Shoe Challenge!

For now, though, a huge thank you to Sepatu for making my Shoe Challenge a little bit harder, but also a lot more fun. If you’d like to see some of the other styles they have on offer, click here to visit the website!
