Shoe Deja Vu: Butterfly heels by Dolce & Gabbana and Schuh

schuh vs dandg Shoe Deja Vu: Butterfly heels by Dolce & Gabbana and SchuhI 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.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Block Heel Shoes

dolce gabbana shoes D&G Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Block Heel Shoes

Yes, it’s another bow-front court shoe, but the bow in this case is just a little bit different. The actual shape of these shoes is a tad matronly for me (there’s something about a chunky heel and rounded toe that always makes me think of the Queen, although I doubt she’d wear shoes this high!), but I do love the colour mix, which is dressy, but not so much that you’d be forced to save them for special occasions.

These are £250 from My-Wardrobe.

Katy Perry in Dolce & Gabbana’s Suede Swarvoski Platform Pump

Katy Perry Waking Up in Vegas Party

I knew I recognised these shoes when I spotted them on Katy Perry at Haze Nightclub’s “Waking Up in Vegas” party (Um, spotted them in the photo, I mean. I wasn’t actually there, obviously…)! I showed you them back in August of last year: they’re by Dolce & Gabbana, and while I thought at the time that they were a nice use of the “studded with crystals” look, I also noted that they were pretty expensive, at $995.

That’s not such an issue for Katy Perry, obviously, and if it’s not an issue for you, either, you can grab these at Neiman Marcus. What do you think of Katy’s look?

Eeek! Dolce & Gabbana’s sock/shoe combo

sock shoes dg Eeek! Dolce & Gabbanas sock/shoe comboShoes like these just make me want to cry. I mean, it’s not that I’d necessarily want to wear plain court shoes with a pair of chunky socks anyway, but even if I did, I can still see no need for said shoes and socks to be actually stuck to each other. Surely it makes more sense, and would be more versatile, for the two items to be sold separately? I wouldn’t buy either of them if they were, of course, but if you would, head on over to Yoox.com. where these are currently on sale for £149.

Dolce & Gabbana black peep-toe slides with bow

dolce Gabbana peep toe slid Dolce & Gabbana black peep toe slides with bow

After the increasingly bizarre styles they brought us last year, here’s a more conventionally pretty shoe from Dolce & Gabbana.

I know slides tend to divide opinion: a lot of people find them difficult to walk in, and it’s true that the absence of any heel-grip can make them live up to their names and slide off, bu I’ve always had a bit of a soft-spot for then. These ones are delicate and feminine looking, and the fact that you don’t see a whole lot of slides around these days makes them just a bit unusual, too.

They’re $495 at Saks.

Lipstick suede court shoes by Dolce & Gabbana

dolce gabbana lipstck court Lipstick suede court shoes by Dolce & Gabbana

Looks like Messrs Dolce & Gabbana are finding themselves inspired by faces, and particularly mouths, this season, because hot on the vertiginous heels of those suede face wedges I showed you earlier this week comes these lipstick courts. Which, as the name suggests, come with a lipstick attached to the toe. Well, it makes a change from a flower or a jewel, doesn’t it?

I have to admit that the beauty junkie in me did briefly experience a moment of excitement, wondering if the lipsticks were real ones. Having established that they’re not, though, I just think they ruin what would otherwise be a rather lovely pair of black suede court shoes.

Your thoughts?

Dolce & Gabbana’s suede ‘face’ wedges

dolce gabbana face wedges Dolce & Gabbanas suede face wedgesThese shoes freak me out. They look like they’re actually alive, and if I had them in my life, I’d probably spend most of my time feeling like someone was watching me. Such are the perils of an over-active imagination.

That aside, the design of these shoes doesn’t really appeal to me either. Call me crazy, but I just prefer my footwear to come WITHOUT a face, and these obviously fall short on that score. They are, however, pretty dramatic: they have a 15cm heel and 5cm platform, and even without the face, they’d be striking. With it, you have a guaranteed talking point, which I guess is something, at least. They’re £709 and are available from Far Fetch.

Dolce & Gabbana Suede Swarvoski Platform Pumps

dolce gabbana swarovvski cr Dolce & Gabbana Suede Swarvoski Platform PumpsIf shoes absolutely must be covered in crystals or some other embellishment (and this winter it would appear that they must), I think this is the way to do it. These Dolce & Gabbana pumps have black suede uppers with a sprinkling of Swarovski crystal over the top.  Of course, any time the word “Swarovski” is mentioned in relation to shoes, you just know there’s going to be a hefty price-tag attached, and these are no exception: they’re $995, but if you think they’re worth it, they’re available from Neiman Marcus.
