Christian Louboutin 'Poseidon'

I’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



Some of Nicholas Kirkwood’s designs can be a little too “out there” for some tastes (although personally I’d happily wear all of them, if I only had the cash!). These ones, however, are slightly more restrained than some of Kirkwood’s designs, and while they still have that trademark “rocking horse” platform sole, the rest of the shoe is suitably simple, so they should be easy enough to wear.

I love them, but do you? Get them for £455 at Far Fetch, if you do.



Yes, 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.

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:

Givenchy pink lace peep toe shoe boots

Now, I know these are technically peep-toe boots, and I’ve always held firm on my dislike of peep-toe boots, but I actually think these are really pretty, and I don’t even care about the toe. Fickleness, thy name is Shoeperwoman.

I think the delicate look of these boots is what makes me able to overlook the peep toe – and the fact that they’re lace, which is another thing I’ve never been overly fond of. They have a very ethereal, barely-there look about them, and while I can imagine wearing them with an equally delicate dress, I can also imagine them with a pair of black skinny jeans, too.

Is this the start of a new love for peep toes on boots? I really hope not, but never say never…*

They’re £529 at Far Fetch.

*Unless you’re talking about Crocs, obviously. Then you should ALWAYS say “never”.



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.



You could tell just from the headline that I was going to like these shoes, couldn’t you? Well, you were right, I do. They come in four different colours, but for reasons I can’t even begin to explain, I’m going through a bit of a “pink” phase at the moment (this is strange to me, because I’ve never really been a “pink” girl), so these are the two that appeal most to me. My favourites are the pair on the right, which are just really fresh, and fun and spring-link, and not quite as “River Island Barbie” as the pair on the left, which also have the dreaded metal heel. I think I spy a stripey insole, too: that makes me happy.

These are £59.99. Get them here.



Before we go any further here, I should probably make it clear that “Wanted” is the name of the brand that makes these shoes, not necessarily a comment on how I feel about them. In fact, not AT ALL a comment on how I feel about them, because I don’t think I DO want them. I think they look a bit like they’re wearing a little hat. Not just any old hat, either: one of those old-fashioned bathing caps, with all the flowers attached to them. Hmm.

Of course, now that I’ve allowed that image to creep into my head, I just can’t get rid of it. If you can, and you think these are the best things you’ve seen all week, head over to Westfield Fashion, where you can buy them for $299.



Leave it to Gina to add a big old dollop of Swarovski crystals to the humble wedge! Of course, there’s really nothing “humble” about these wedges at all, is there?  With crystals all over the heel and sole, it’s a good job the uppers are super-plain, or it would be all too easy for these shoes to be mistaken for some kind of disco ball. As it is, they’re the kind of evening shoes you’d wear if you wanted people to stare at your feet, rather than your face all night (handy if you got a huge spot on the day of the party, I guess!). Oh, and the kind of shoes you’d wear if you were willing to spend £875 on them.

Are you? Get them here if you are.



We’ve discussed denim shoes before here at Shoeperwoman, and the consensus generally seems to be that, with a few notable exceptions, denim and shoes should not mix.

We’ve also discussed gemstones on shoes, and come to more or less the same conclusion: that if there’s too many of them, they can look just a little bit cheap.

I pretty much agree with both of those conclusions, and yet… and yet I have a feeling that if I were to see these Brian Atwood slingbacks in person, I’d probably love them. Maybe even a lot. I’m not saying I’d buy them, obviously: in fact, given that they’re £965 I can say with some confidence that I definitely WOULDN’T buy them, no matter HOW much I loved them (I value my marriage too much), but I’d maybe want to.

Would you? If so, you can get them at Colette.
