Every time Christian Louboutin makes a shoe I wouldn’t wear, I have to go and lie down in a darkened room.
If anyone needs me, that’s where I’ll be.

Ah, I love me some toecap pumps!
Most of the ones I seem to find, mind you, tend to be of the tan and black persuasion, so it’s refreshing to come across a pair which use the much more unusual colour combination of gold and pink. These are by Giambattista Valli, and are $685 at My Theresa (click here to buy them). I also love this green and navy version by Giuseppe Zanotti:
These are a tiny bit less expensive, too: they’re $432 at Colette: click here to buy them.

This is the second pair of Jimmy Choos I’ve shown you this week (and I may as well warn you now, there will probably be more: I’m really liking what I’ve seen of the Spring 2012 collection so far), but when a Shoeperhero stumbles upon kryptonite, she loses all powers of resistance, and can’t be held responsible for her actions…
Which brings me to Jimmy Choos ‘Brigitte’. I absolutely adore these shoes. For me, these are everything that’s wonderful about summer shoes: I’ve always been a sucker for gingham print, with its promise of picnics and sunshine, and it’s vague 50s vibe, and the way these sandals knot at the toe and ankle is just perfect. They’re fun, fabulous, and oh-so-summery… and they’re £650. Which is the only downside that I can find here.
I don’t love these quite as much as I loved Christian Louboutin’s gingham print Greissimos from last summer, but I do love them a LOT. Gingham: it’s absolute kryptonite, for sure!

Every time I look at these Jimmy Choo sandals, I find myself wanting to say “hubba hubba”. Which is honestly weird for me, because if you knew me in real life, you’d know that I NEVER say “hubba hubba”.
Apparently I do now, though, because these shoes? Fabulous. Also, expensive. We’re talking £724, here. Worth it? Well, I’ll let you decide…

Why am I showing you such a boring pair of shoes, you might be asking right now? After all, they’re just black peep toes, and God knows, it’s not like black peep toes are hard to find, right?
Well, I’m showing you them because I love them, and I always have. This is one of my very favourite Louboutin styles, and one of the first pairs I’d buy if I suddenly found myself rich. I just love the way the red of the sole carries through to the platform on the peep toe: such a small detail, but it makes such a difference. These are classic Louboutin, and are £494 at Louisa Via Roma: click here to buy them.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that I’m a huge fan of a simple, skin-toned pump, and it looks like Kate Beckinsale is, too: here she is wearing a pair of Brian Atwood’s ‘Maniac’ pumps to a photocall for her new movie, ”Underworld: Awakening” in Madrid.
These shoes are a celebrity favourite, and have appeared on the red carpet numerous times now, on the feet of various stars: despite being very plain, they still somehow manage to be absolutely stunning…

As I’m sure you probably know, Karl Lagerfeld’s ‘KARL’ line for Net-a-Porter launched yesterday, to great excitement. I’ll be honest: while I like the shoes pictured at the top of this page, none of the rest are my taste at all, but they may well be yours, so I’ve included some of the other shoes from the collection in the gallery below.
What do you think of these, and of the KARL collection in general?
