These shoes are available in no less than 11 different colours, so if you’re not keen on green, it’s well worth visiting the Nina website to see the rest of the range (I’m quite keen on the bright blue version, but every one’s a winner, to be honest). There are, of course, no prizes for guessing why I like these shoes: if I had to find fault with them, I’d probably say I could live without the ankle strap (I could almost always say that about ankle straps), but I could live with it, too, and it’s delicate enough not to draw too much attention to the ankle area.

So: gorgeous green colour, cute little bow, slender stiletto – what’s not to like? These are $92.95 and you can buy a pair here.

ASOS ‘Hooray’ slingback strappy sandals

I know it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference to the way they look, but the fact that these shoes are called ‘Hooray’ did help make me smile this morning.

Some other things about these shoes that make me smile:

1. The price – they’re only £45.

2. The fact that they come in two of my favourite shoe-colours: nude and red.

3. The cute little double platform.

4. The fact that, as nice as they look in the image above, they look even nicer on. Take a look under the jump if you don’t believe me:

I first spotted these shoes a few weeks ago, in some kind of promotional material for Miss Selfridge, and I’ve been waiting for them to appear on the website ever since, just so I could show them to you!

I think these are perfect Spring/Summer shoes, and the blend of hot pink suede and polka dot embellishment makes them lots of fun, and all you’d need to make an old pair of jeans or little black dress look instantly more interesting. These are only £45, and are one of a few styles I have my eyes on at Miss Selfridge this season. Get them here.

ASOS PEGASUS Chainmail High Sandals

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m currently a little bit obsessed with blue in general, and with navy in particular, so it was actually the colour of these shoes that caught my attention first, rather than the much more obvious chainmail detailing around the ankle. Once you’ve noticed the chainmail, though, it becomes impossible to ignore, and that’s the whole idea. These sandals are actually quite interesting, because they mix a daywear style with a sequined upper, which is something I generally associate with evening shoes. Sequins are becoming more and more popular on daywear, though, so you could probably get away with wearing these anywhere you like, and dressing them up or down as the occasion required.

What do you think of them? If you like them, head over to ASOS, where you can buy a pair for £40.



This is my second pink shoe pick of the day, but these ‘Lorna’ sandals from Faith are a little less vivid than the Tory Burch numbers I showed you earlier today – in fact, in the right light, they could almost pass as nude. That’s good news in the “will go with anything” stakes, and actually, I think these shoes are good news all round: I’m loving t-bar styles in general at the moment, and these combine a t-bar shape with satin uppers, a generous platform and a pretty little diamante detail on the toe.

These are also available in grey, with a black platform, but I think this pale pink is the nicer of the two colours. If you want to see for yourself, they’re £65 from Faith.

Dune Satin Stripe Court Shoes

I guess it’s no great secret that, if I possibly could, I’d probably buy every shoe Dune ever makes. Or most of them, anyway: they can keep all the peep toe boots, for instance.

I particularly like these satin stripe court shoes, though, for two reasons:

1. STRIPES! My very favourite things! Other than bows, obviously. And polka dots.

2. BLACK AND GOLD stripes! My current favourite colour combination!

It’s safe to say that I like them, then, but what about you? If you like them too, head over to Oli, where they’re £80.



Yes, readers, it’s your regularly scheduled heart-shaped-shoe of the week! (OK, so they’re not actually heart-shaped. That would be weird. But… oh, you know what I mean.)

I can’t quite give you ten things I love about these shoes, but I can give you four:

1. The name. Oh, come on, you’ve got to love a company who names their shoe ‘10 Things I Love About Shoe’!

2. The heart. Well, d’uh!

3. The comic-book look of said heart. Well, I’m a cartoon superhero, of course I’m going to like that!

4. The price: $54.99 at Modcloth.



Oh, come on, you didn’t think I’d let a whole week go by without showing you at least one pair of heart-embellished shoes, did you?

Actually, that’s what I was planning to do, but then these little patent flats popped up at Accessorize, and I just couldn’t resit showing you them. They’re only £22, and just the thing for summer days, when you can slip them on with shorts, dresses, jeans: you name it. Super-cute, and super-affordable, you can grab yourself a pair here here.

ASOS blue suede platform ‘Primavera’ shoes

Oh, great: I’m going to have Elvis in my head ALL afternoon now! And granted, these aren’t quite the kind of “blue suede shoes” he was talking about, but if they were mine, I wouldn’t want anyone to step on them either. I love everything about these shoes: the colour is the obvious attraction (and hey, I don’t believe I currently own a pair of shoes in this particular shade of blue!), but the shape is also a draw for me, because although the platform is large, the heel has a slight curve to it, and the toe is fairly pointed, making these look a little less clumpy than many other platform designs.

These are also available in black, and if I didn’t already own more than enough pairs of black shoes already, I’d be coveting those, too. As it is, I’ll stick to the blue pair, which are £65 at ASOS.

P.S. I added a Google Friend Connect widget to the sidebar (over on the right). It’s the same thing as Blogger’s followers widget, so feel free to follow me, and make me feel a little less alone!

Dune ‘Melanie’ black and white bow peep toes

These shoes are also available in both silver and gold, but it’s this black and white version that appeals to me most: partly because I’m a sucker for this particular combination, but also because I can imagine wearing these in the daytime, while the other two colours are just a little bit too disco-tastic to get away with in my daily life!

I think these would look fantastic with a pencil skirt and tailored top, but they’d be equally fabulous dressed down with a pair of black skinny jeans. It just so happens that I have all of those items currently residing in my closet, so onto the Shoeper Wish List these go! If you want to add them to yours too (or just buy them and to hell with the “wishing”!), they’re £70, and you can get them here.
