Friday, March 19th, 2010Marc Jacobs gold stacked wedgesThese gold wedges will be too shiny for some tastes, but I’m rather fond of a metallic wedge, particularly in the summer. Not only are wedges some of the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever walk in, the colour of these Marc Jacobs shoes will work with everything (or almost everything), and they’ll go easily from day to night, too. I’m picturing them worn with a print dress, a few gold bangles and a martini, ideally on a yacht in St Tropez or somewhere equally glamorous, but you could just as easily throw them on with a little black dress for an evening out. Double bows win Marc Jacobs double the Shoeper points for these ones, too! They’re $699 at Zappos. Friday, March 19th, 2010Moschino red peep toes with bow detail
Those points aside, the more I look at these shoes, the more I like them. The shape of the peep toe is particularly nice, and these have something of a fairytale feel to them – or maybe I’ve just been reading too many ‘Alice In Wonderland’ themed press releases lately. Also, look! Stripes on the insole! That does it for me… If it does it for you, too, these are £195 at Yoox, with a range of sizes still available. Thursday, March 18th, 2010Moda in Pelle ‘Darla’ peep toes in navyIt’s been a while since Moda in Pelle managed to catch my attention with one of their shoes, so I was particularly pleased to stumble across these ‘Darla’ peep toes , which help feed my current obsession with all things navy! I especially like the colour combination of the bow on the navy shoes: the brown version isn’t quite doing it for me, but they’re still very cute, and I suspect that if I came across them on the sale rack, they’d probably be coming home with me! If you can’t wait for the sale, these are £80 at Moda in Pelle. 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. Monday, March 15th, 2010Shoe Deja Vu: ASOS Vs Moschino bow-front black slingbacks
Which pair DO you prefer? If you’d take the ASOS shoe over its designer cousin, you need to know that it’s also available in nude and pink. Decisions, decisions… 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.
