Friday, March 19th, 2010Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ slingback pumps
I love a bit of colour-blocking, and these ‘Bianca’ slingbacks manage to combine black, white, blue and red in a way that’s fun, but not garish. That classic Louboutin slingback shape, meanwhile, keeps the overall look elegant. Want to see some more? Oh, go on then… Tags: christian louboutin, colourblock, platform, slingback
Posted in Designer Shoes, High Heels | 4 Comments » Friday, March 19th, 2010Marc Jacobs gold stacked wedgesThese gold wedges will be too shiny for some tastes, but I’m rather fond of a metallic wedge, particularly in the summer. Not only are wedges some of the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever walk in, the colour of these Marc Jacobs shoes will work with everything (or almost everything), and they’ll go easily from day to night, too. I’m picturing them worn with a print dress, a few gold bangles and a martini, ideally on a yacht in St Tropez or somewhere equally glamorous, but you could just as easily throw them on with a little black dress for an evening out. Double bows win Marc Jacobs double the Shoeper points for these ones, too! They’re $699 at Zappos. Friday, March 19th, 2010Moschino red peep toes with bow detail
Those points aside, the more I look at these shoes, the more I like them. The shape of the peep toe is particularly nice, and these have something of a fairytale feel to them – or maybe I’ve just been reading too many ‘Alice In Wonderland’ themed press releases lately. Also, look! Stripes on the insole! That does it for me… If it does it for you, too, these are £195 at Yoox, with a range of sizes still available.

People, the heels light up. They’re designed in much the same way as the light-up sneakers mentioned above, so that when your foot hits the ground, the heel will light up. And it’s a yellow heel. With a red sole. And I don’t know… I’ve read a few gushing reviews of these shoes from my fellow bloggers, but I think I’m going to have to be the voice of dissent here and say that this is just way too gimmicky for me to want to spend $2,495 on. I’d make a joke here about them “lighting up your life”, but I’m actually still in shock at having to write the words “Jimmy Choo” and “light-up heels” in the same sentence, so feel free to make up your own jokes there. Oh, and feel free to head over to Saks and buy them, too, if you so desire! Tags: jimmy choo, light up heels, platforms

They’re £390 at Net-a-Porter. Monday, March 15th, 2010Celebrity Shoes: Elisa Sednaoui in Christian Louboutin mesh knee bootsAs beautiful as model Elisa Sednaoui is, when I looked at this photo, I had eyes only for her shoes, which are Christian Louboutin’s knee-high mesh boots. Yes, mesh knee boots, you read that right. I guess they’re intended to be the perfect solution for people who want to continue wearing boots in warmer weather, and I can see how that would work, but I’m afraid these get the thumbs down from me. Here’s why: Tags: christian louboutin, Elisa Sednaoui, knee high, mesh
Posted in Boots, Celebrity Shoes, Designer Shoes | 10 Comments » Friday, March 12th, 2010Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin ‘Poseidon’ peep-toe pumpsI’m almost definitely biased, but I don’t think there’s a shoe designer out there who does peep toes quite like Christian Louboutin. And these ones? Beautiful. Just beautiful. Christian Louboutin ‘Poseidon’ pumps, £1,195 Friday, March 12th, 2010Nicholas Kirkwood patterned peep toe platform shoes
I love them, but do you? Get them for £455 at Far Fetch, if you do. Thursday, March 11th, 2010Jimmy Choo glitter fabric ‘Lace’ peep toe shoesYes, I know: the name of these shoes confused me, too, because although they’re called ‘Lace’, there doesn’t appear to be a scrap of lace on them. Instead, the uppers are made from a glitter-encrusted fabric, and as far as I’m concerned, if shoes HAVE to have glitter on them, then this is the way I’d like it to be done. These are pretty and sparkly, but don’t look like the result of a child’s art project, which is always a good thing when you’re talking about shoes that cost £325! Would you be willing to spend £325 on them, though? If you would, you can buy them on the Jimmy Choo website. Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Gina ‘Clair’ platform hoodie pumps
I’m in two minds about these shoes. In the black and cream versions, I think the gathered toe makes the shoe look like it’s been wrapped up in some kind of protective dust-cover, which the owner hasn’t bothered to remove before wearing them. The red version, however… well, the red version I rather like, and I somehow think it works a little better. What do you think? These are £450 from Gina. Tags: gina, platform, satin
