I have a feeling Sophia Grace is about to become one of my favourite designers. I mean, if these suede butterfly heels are anything to go by, I’ll soon be powerless to resist her charms shoes.
Not only is the shape of these peep toes absolutely beautiful in its own right, the butterfly detail on the heel makes a refreshing change from all of the usual shoe embellishments, and manages to be both delicate and eye-catching at the same time.
I love these, and would have snapped them up instantly, but unfortunately I have 505 reasons NOT to. If you’d like to buy a pair, however, you can click here to get them from Browns.
They may be unashamedly “inspired” by Dolce & Gabbana, but ever since I featured Schuh’s ‘Frenchie Butterfly’ courts here this summer, I’ve been getting emails from people wondering when they’d be back in stock, so I know at least some of you out there will be pleased to know that they finally are: and in two gorgeous colours, too!
I’m counting myself among the people who are glad to see these shoes available again, because while the purple version is pretty, the green suede is TO. DIE. FOR. Seriously, it is, isn’t it?
I’m really hoping these are still in stock after Christmas: if you can’t wait until then, however, you can click here to buy them – they’re also available in plain black.
I spotted these Schuh court shoes over at Shoewawa last week, and had the niggling feeling I’d seen them somewhere else. Finally it came to me: they’re dead ringers (well, almost) for the Dolce & Gabbana pumps I showed you back in August 2009, aren’t they?
So I guess this is really a case of Schuh Deja Vu.
(Sorry.)
If you like them, they’re £64.99, they’re also available in red, and you can buy them here.
Aruna Seth shoes belong in that special category of beautiful things I will probably never own because I just don’t have the kind of lifestyle to do them justice. These beautiful butterfly-front peep toes, for instance, look like they belong on the red carpet, or at some kind of exclusive event at the very least - although I guess you could always wear them to clean the bathroom/do the ironing in too, if you really wanted to. I won’t tell if you don’t.
If you do have an event to wear them too, or feel like inventing one just for the hell of it, they’re £435, and you can find them here.
Despite what the name might lead you to suspect, these Naughty Monkey pumps don’t actually look like pretty trees at all, do they? They do feature a pretty butterfly on the toe, though, so there is at least a small nod to the natural world. That’s not two different shoes, by the way: these are two-tone, with leather on one side and a kind of tweed effect on the other. It actually works better than I’d have expected it to, and I find myself quite liking these for winter. If you do, too, they’re $89.99 at Heels.com.
What was I just saying about butterfly-style shoes?
These are another example of that trend, although the butterfly effect is far more blatant here than in the shoes I showed you earlier today. These shoes take a bit of getting used to: the embellishments on the front are pretty extravagant, and take up a lot of air-space around your feet, which I know will put some people off. If you’re not one of those people, though, the shoes are $675 at Endless.com.
I’ve no idea how I managed to miss these shoes at Luisa Viaroma: they’re so totally the kind of thing I love right now, from the gorgeous colours (they call these “grey”, but they remind me of the sea) to the butterfly detailing on the front. We’ve been seeing a lot of butterfly themed shoes lately, but I think these are one of my favourites, although, given the constantly damp weather we get here I’d probably be too scared to take those suede-covered platforms for a walk anywhere out of doors!
Look familiar? They should do: I’ve banged on about Nicholas Kirkwood shoes often enough here that I’m sure even those of you who aren’t fans will be able to recognise the influence behind these shoes: it’s all in that distinctive “butterfly” effect cutout panel on the side!
“Influence” is all it is in this case, though: the rest of the shoe doesn’t owe too much to Mr Kirkwood, but is possibly a more wearable (not to mention) affordable version of his signature platforms. These are from New Look, and will cost you £30.
