Monday, March 15th, 2010Knot and bow platform shoes from Matalan
I must admit, I haven’t been particularly impressed with Matalan’s shoe offerings over the past few months. I can normally find at least a couple of styles I like in there, but having visited the store and looked at the website, these are the first style of the year to grab my attention, so I’m hoping they have something spectacular planned for the summer! For now, though, these are certainly something of a bargain at £18: grab yourself a pair here. Friday, March 12th, 2010Magenta bow detail court shoes from Dorothy PerkinsI thought I’d finish this week the same way I started it: with a pair of bright pink (OK, magenta, then…) shoes with a bow on them somewhere. In this case, the bow is on the side rather than on the toe, and the colour is closer to purple than pink on my monitor, but hey, it’s Friday: cut me some slack here! These shoes are also available in black, but this would be my choice of colour if I was in the market for a pair. They’re £35 from Dorothy Perkins. Tags: bow, dorothy perkins, magenta
Posted in High Heels, High Street Shoes, UK Shoes | 2 Comments » Thursday, March 11th, 2010Timeless strappy bow sandals at Dorothy PerkinsDorothy Perkins have just started stocking some styles by shoe brand ‘Timeless’, so the first thing to note about these shoes is that they’re ‘timeless’ by name, not necessarily by nature. As it happens, I don’t think these shoes are particularly timeless-by-nature. At first glance I was instantly seduced by the bow on the front, which is certainly cute enough, but underneath that I’m seeing something I think of as a “clubbing shoe” – especially in the metallic purple version, seen in the middle of this photo. Clubbing isn’t something I do a whole lot of these days, so shoes like this don’t hold a whole lot of appeal for me. If they appeal to you, though, they’re £55 and you can buy them here.

Because of my well-documented love of the nautical look, my chosen colours for this so-called “capsule” wardrobe of mine are always red, blue and white. (And, er, green. Also: black.) Which is why these Accessorize shoes went onto my summer wish list as soon as I laid eyes on them. Not only will they fit in perfectly with the rest of the wardrobe, they’re also as light as only a pair of canvas flats can be, AND they’re only £20. Now I just need to find room for all of the 20 million other items I want to try and fit into my suitcase… Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Nina ‘Electra’ peep-toe d’orsay pumps with bow
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. Wednesday, March 10th, 2010ASOS ‘Hooray’ slingback strappy sandalsI 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: Tags: ASOS, peeptoe, platform, slingback
Posted in High Heels, High Street Shoes, Peep Toes | 3 Comments » Monday, March 8th, 2010Miss Selfridge pink suede platform peep toes with polka dot rosette
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. Tags: miss selfridge, pink, polka dot, suede

What do you think of them? If you like them, head over to ASOS, where you can buy a pair for £40. Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Faith’s pink satin ‘Lorna’ platform sandals
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. Monday, March 1st, 2010Dune Satin Stripe Court ShoesI 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.
