Irregular Choice Toodle Loo Mohawk court shoes

irregular chioce toodle loo1 Irregular Choice Toodle Loo Mohawk court shoesSuede uppers with a metallic overlay, a generously sized corsage on the toe, a feather sticking out the side of it, and… actually, I don’t know what you’d call the detailing on the heel. There’s definitely rather a lot going on with Irregular Choice’s Toodle Loo Mowkawk pumps, but I love all of it: well, almost all of it – I could live without the feather and the heel… thing… but the gorgeously curved heel and beautiful uppers make up for those two minor points. These look like old-fashioned court shoes in the true sense of the phrase, and I’d have to agree with Schuh’s description of them as “opulent”.

Like them? If you do, you can click here to buy them for £79.99.

Guess ‘Fedran’ red square toed high heeled pumps

Capture Guess Fedran red square toed high heeled pumpsI don’t normally go for square-toed shoes, but the fact that these ones by Guess remind me more of pointe ballet shoes, and less of Roald Dahl’s The Witches is a good sign. Another good sign is the red suede uppers, which are bright without being brash, as can often be the case with red shoes.

They’re not quite what I’m looking for in my Ruby Shoesday search, but they are cute, and reasonably affordable, too, at $109.95. Click here to buy them from Zappos.

Miu Miu are still doing the chunky platform thing for Fall.

And they’re doing it with leopard print booties.

I think that’s all I really need to say about that, don’t you? What do YOU have to say about it, though?

KG by Kurt Geiger Echinacea detachable bow platforms now available in more colours

kg by kurt geiger echinacea pumps KG by Kurt Geiger Echinacea detachable bow platforms now available in more colours

I know I’ve already shown you the red version of Kurt Geiger’s Echinacea pumps, but you’ll have to forgive me for showing you them again, because as soon as I saw these three new colourways, well, I just couldn’t help myself.

I wasn’t sure about the detachable bow feature of the red version of these, and I’m STILL not sure about it on the leopard print version in the centre of the image above: in fact, I think it looks a little cheap. I absolutely love the nude and black versions, however, and have instantly added the nude ones to my wish list: they’re such a great colour and shape, and would look good with or without the lace bow.

What do you think of these? If you love them, just click here to buy yourself a pair – they’re £150.

River Island light pink leather triple bow sandals

river island pink truple bow sandals River Island light pink leather triple bow sandalsIt’s a little too late in the year for me to be thinking about sandals, and there’s a part of me that’s kinda relieved about that, because if these had popped up just a few weeks ago, I’d probably be shelling out £64.99 for them…

While the triple bow and double buckle may seem a little fussy at first, I have a feeling these would look stunning on a foot, and would be the kind of sandals that would look equally good with jeans as they would with dresses.

Those of you who aren’t obliged to wear all of your shoes by next January, and who can therefore justify the purchase of a pair of strappy sandals, can click here to buy them from River Island. I, meanwhile, will have to be content with simply admiring them from afar.

KG by Kurt Geiger stripe ‘Dancer’ pumps with bow

kg by kurt geiger dancer pumps KG by Kurt Geiger stripe Dancer pumps with bowI’ve looked at these ‘Dancer’ pumps by Kurt Geiger so many times now that I’d actually convinced myself I must have already shown you them. As it turns out, I’d just been showing them to myself, which is of no use to anyone (and least of all to my bank account), so here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Stripes and bows make these a surefire winner for yours truly, and I also like the black and white combination, which I think will look great with black opaque tights. If you’d prefer a different colour, though, well, just take a look under the jump!

New Shoes! Miss Selfridge grey spotty ‘Polly’ platforms

miss selfridge spotty bow platforms New Shoes! Miss Selfridge grey spotty Polly platforms

I know, I know… But seriously: it was pretty obvious I was going to be getting more of these, wasn’t it?

I’d actually gone into the store with my heart set on finding a red pair, but they didn’t have any: not even a pair of size 9s that I could’ve wept over, thinking, “so near, but so far!” I was almost able to say exactly the same thing about these ones, too, though: they were the only pair of size 4s in the store, and naturally I found them only after picking up and examining every single other pair they had. When I finally unearthed these ones, I rushed them to the till… only for the sales girl to notice that I had one size four and one size 5. It’s a good job she did notice too, because, well, let’s just say it wouldn’t have been the first time I’d walked out of a store with two differently sized shoes.

Anyway, I’d love to be able to say I’ve had my fill of Miss Selfridge’s platform bow shoes now, but I think you all know me well enough by now to know I’ll probably continue to stalk the red ones indefinitely. Click here if you want to join me, or here if you fancy a pair of the grey ones.

Valentino peep toe rosette shoes

valentino peep toe rosette pumps Valentino peep toe rosette shoes

I know Valentino like to stick to the same kind of style with some of their shoes, but I can’t help but love them for it, because it happens to be a style I wholeheartedly approve of!

These peep-toe rosette pumps are just stunning: the pale pink colour is delicate and lovely, while the over-sized rose on the toe adds just the right amount of extravagance. Perfect for a special occasion, or even for a bride (look, I’m doing best to justify the $795 price, OK?), you can click here to buy them from Neiman Marcus: or even just to admire them from afar. I know I will.
