Thursday, March 4th, 2010J by Jasper Conran Black ‘Sloane’ laser cut suede court shoesAn easy way to make a black pump a little more interesting, from Jasper Conran’s line for Debenhams. At £45, these are inexpensive, and would make a great work shoe, assuming you have the kind of job that makes black pumps the perfect choice, of course! Now, if they only had them in a nice, bright blue… Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Gina ‘Belle’ Swarovski crystal wedge peep toesLeave 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. Monday, February 22nd, 2010Rupert Sanderson double buckle gladiator sandals
These don’t look particularly “gladiator-like” to me, but I’m not going to quibble over the name when there are beautiful shoes to be looked at, and anyway, if ALL gladiator sandals were as gorgeous as these ones, I’d be a very happy Shoeperwoman. Of course, the combination of black and gold on a shoe has always been one of my favourites, but these are particularly nicely done, and are dressy without being fussy. The strong lines of these, plus that shiny gold, would make these perfect with a simple dress: they’re £693 at Louisa Via Roma. Tags: black, gladiator sandals, gold, rupert sanderson, two tone
Posted in Designer Shoes, High Heels, Sandals | 3 Comments » Monday, February 22nd, 2010Metallic heel peep toes by Jaeger LondonJaeger isn’t a brand I generally associate with fabulous shoes. In fact, I’ll be honest: it’s a brand I more often associate with smart suits and sensible midi-skirts. It would appear I’ve misjudged Jaeger, though, because just look at these black and gold heels! Aren’t they amazing? That gold heel is just so striking against the black suede, and I also love the chunky shape. Such a simple idea, but so beautifully executed that I can’t help but want a pair. Now. These are £170, and if you want a pair too, you can buy them at My-Wardrobe. Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Faith Chevelli knot-front suede court shoes
Orange is this season’s hot colour right now (no pun intended), but as much as I love the shoe on the left of this photo, I also really like the black version on the right, which would make an elegant pump for work, or for anything you want to look a little bit “smart” for. Lovely. Tags: black, faith, knot, orange, suede

These shoes from Oli, however, are only £25, and while, OK, they do look less expensive/fabulous than the KG versions, they’re in exactly the same style, and won’t be as hard on the credit card. With pay-day still feeling very far away right now, that has to be a good thing… Monday, February 8th, 2010Acne black ‘Agate’ pom-pom sandals
Ah, well. We can’t all be shoe designers! The pom-poms on these sandals are detachable, and I think that’s a very good thing, because I can’t imagine a single situation in my life in which I’d be likely to want or need to wear shoes that look like this. Once you force your eyes away from the “clown” element, however, there’s actually a really nice shoe hidden underneath: it’s just a shame the embellishments are so very distracting! Monday, February 1st, 2010ASOS Princess Peep Toe ShoesOh dear. I think I may just have identified my 72nd pair of shoes. And maybe the 73rd too, actually. Yes, I know they’re just plain peep toes, but during the warmer months of the year, I more or less live in plain peep toes: they’re one of my favourite style of shoes, the shape works with just about anything, and it so happens that I’ve been on the lookout for a red pair for quite some time now. And a nude pair. I could really be doing with a black pair too, and I’m not even joking here. Seriously, give me these three shoes, plus some peep-toe appropriate weather, and I bet I could wear nothing else on my feet for a month. Hey, maybe that should be my next shoe challenge? The nude pair of these actually looks a little on the white side to me (even my pale legs aren’t quite that colour), but the red is just the shade I’m looking for: it’s bright, but not so bright that it looks cheap, which can sometimes be a problem with red shoes. One of the best things about these, though, is the price. They’re just £25, and you can buy them at ASOS.com. Friday, January 29th, 2010Faith ‘Cing’ point-toed platform court shoes
She’d totally wear these shoes, wouldn’t she? They’re all angles and sharp edges, and there’s something very hard about them: so much so, in fact, that I think I’ll be giving them a miss. What do you think of them, though? Do you like them enough to spend £80 on them, I wonder? If so, you’ll find them at Faith. Tags: black, faith, platform, pointed toe, purple
