    casadei green sandals Casadei green satin platform sandals

    Now, this is much more like the kind of thing I expect from Casadei than those white platforms I showed you last week!

    Leaving aside the colour, which I’m obviously going to say I like, I also love the way the top half of this shoe looks just like a ribbon wound around the foot. It all makes for a very striking shoe, and if, like me, you love green, you’re probably going to love these too, in which case you’ll want to know where to buy them. Well, they’re 455 euros (ouch!), and you can grab yourself a pair here.

    LFI GOLDENGLOBES031 Golden Globes 2010: Kate Hudson in Casadeis 3504 triple platform pumpKate Hudson also gave us a glimpse of her shoes at last night’s Golden Globes, although I suspect this was by necessity rather than design: well, you wouldn’t want that spectacular white dress dragging along the damp red carpet, would you?

    These are Casadei’s 3504 triple platform pumps, and they’re something of a celebrity staple for red carpet events, perhaps because they minimise the amount of taking-up that has to be done on those long gowns! They certainly look like they’re adding a lot of height here, but I’m personally not a fan of white shoes with white dresses, and think another colour can work better. What do you think of Kate’s look here?

    Well. These are… not exactly the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from Casadei, are they?

    I know I’m probably about to be told off for over-use of the phrase “stripper shoes” this week, but I just can’t help it: the white patent leather and large platform remind me of the kind of shoes you see, if not on strippers, exactly, at least on the type of “clubwear” sites that sell stripper-esque clothes. Yes, Great Glam, I AM looking at you…

    I will (grudgingly) admit that the sculpted heel is pretty cool, but I think white patent leather always, always runs the risk of looking cheap, and when your shoes cost £477, “cheap” is the last word you want to have associated with them. Well, that and possibly “stripper”. (Unless, of course, you actually ARE a stripper, in which case fair enough.)

    If you like them, you can buy them at Louisa Via Roma.

    casadei wedges Casadei metallic cutaway wedge heels

    Until now I had absolutely no idea I needed a pair of silver wedges with a large hole in the heel in my life, but apparently I do. Dontchya just hate it when that happens?

    These are the second pair of Casadei wedges I’ve shown you, but my relationship with these shoes is much less complicated than with the first pair, which I still can’t decide whether I love or hate. With these ones it’s love all the way, and although I can’t actually think of a single occasion I’d need these for, that’s never stopped me buying shoes before.

    Sadly for me, the £694 price tag IS enough to stop me. If it doesn’t even give you pause for thought, however, you can buy these babies here.

    casadei horn heels Casadei suede slingbacks with horn heel

    Somewhere between a wedge and a stiletto, these Casadei horn heel shoes didn’t appeal to me at first, but the more I look at them, the more I like them. The pink suede uppers, naturally, are right up my street, and while I didn’t like the heel at first glance, I think it offsets the girlieness of the uppers rather nicely, and it’s also very usual.

    I’m still not totally convinced, but they’re definitely growing on me. If they’ve grown enough on you that you want to buy them, they’re £479, and you can get them here.

    What do you think of them?
