I’ve been looking at this image for a few minutes now, and it’s not good, I just can’t decide which colour I like best. It was the pink/lilac version which caught my eye, but the pale blue/tan is also very sweet, and would tie in nicely with the pastel obsession I’ve got going on right now, so I kinda love them, too!
(These are also available in two black/tan colourways, but as much as I love those colours together, even I was so busy admiring the more colourful versions that they didn’t even get a look in!)
These are by Mark Fast, for Aldo’s RISE collection, which sees various designers create designs for the high street retailer. These, for instance, are £125 each, which, although not cheap, is more in line with Aldo’s pricing than Mark Fast’s, for sure!
OK, I give you all fair warning here: I am absolutely obsessed with mint right now. Obsessed. And yes, I know I’m more or less always obsessed with green, in all of its various guises, but it would seem that the fashion world is aiding and abetting me with the “mint” thing, because I’ve been seeing products in this shade everywhere lately: in fact, I bought a mint coloured dress just this week, and I have my eye on some more minty fresh pieces too. I may need an intervention.
Mint coloured shoes are also on my list, of course, and at the very top of that list is Office’s ‘Kourt’, which I have to point out is their deliberate spelling error, not mine. A standard shape and a beautiful colour make these almost irresistible to me, and I wouldn’t say no to the nude version either. Well, I rarely do, do I?
Want to join me in a world of minty goodness? Click here to buy these from Office, where they’re £65.
You may be experiencing a slight sense of Shoe Deja Vu right now. Don’t worry: if you sit down and take a few deep breaths it will pass, as you realise that, yup, it’s another Miu Miu-inspired peep toe with that distinctive flared heel.
These ones are from A|Wear, which means that they’re definitely a lot more affordable than the designer versions, at £45. They come in bright red and blush-pink patent – two colours guaranteed to give me a headache as I try to decide which pair to go for – and you can click here to buy them.
I have very little to say about these shoes that I haven’t already said on the subject of pretty, green peep toes, so I will simply leave you to speculate amongst yourselves about how long it will be before I’ll convince myself I need to buy them.
Why am I showing you such a boring pair of shoes, you might be asking right now? After all, they’re just black peep toes, and God knows, it’s not like black peep toes are hard to find, right?
Well, I’m showing you them because I love them, and I always have. This is one of my very favourite Louboutin styles, and one of the first pairs I’d buy if I suddenly found myself rich. I just love the way the red of the sole carries through to the platform on the peep toe: such a small detail, but it makes such a difference. These are classic Louboutin, and are £494 at Louisa Via Roma: click here to buy them.
I know I say this a lot, but I’m afraid I’m going to say it again: I love tan and black. LOVE it. And while some of you may dismiss this particular colour combination as “boring”, I prefer to go with “classic”, and I’m a big fan of “classic”, as some of you know.
That’s why I’m having such a hard time deciding which of these two colourways I like best. Tan on black, or black on tan? I just can’t decide. Fortunately, however – or perhaps unfortunately, as the case may be - these are just $69.95 each, so it might not be too difficult to talk yourself into both…
This is the second pair of Gucci shoes I’ve shown you this month, but as soon as I laid eyes on these little beauties, I knew I’d have to feature them. The words “Mary Jane” and “chain strap” wouldn’t normally set my world on fire, because neither are particular footwear favourites of mine (and it’s very, very rare that I like a chain on a shoe), but I actually like everything about these. Mt love for the green suede upper is a given, but I’m also keen on the shape of the peep toe, the delicacy of the straps, and even the gold heel, which is another thing I ordinarily wouldn’t go for.
Would you go for these? If you would, the bad news is that you’ll need £831. The good news, however, is that you can click here to pre-order them from Nordstrom: enjoy!
As with Charlotte Olympia, Nicholas Kirkwood’s trademark style of platform tends to divide people, with most either loving or hating it. I’m firmly in the “love” camp, as I am with most of Kirkwood’s designs, and I really like the sweet, summer style of these pink and white “leaf pumps”, which are currently available to pre-order at Nordstrom.
These are £664, so they’re very much out of my budget, but they’ve got me dreaming of summer, and all the things I’d wear them with. These are actually two shoe colours I probably wouldn’t buy if the shoes were just one or the other, but together they’re just about perfect, with the white toning down the bright pink, and the pink livening up the basic white.
