I was crazy about D&G’s floral and gingham-soaked summer collection, with all of the 50s-style looks it brought to mind: in fact, I’d pretty much dress like that EVERY summer if I possibly could.
This small selection of the shoes has just gone on sale at Spartoo, and while the prices are still a little more than I’d be willing to pay for canvas shoes, they have got me dreaming of summer again: the mules in particular appeal to me, because I’ve been on the lookout for something similar (for some reason, I’m always drawn to mules, even although they’re one of the least practical shoes to actually wear!), but I wouldn’t say no to the other pairs, either.
I always think gingham print looks great with denim (and that mules look good with capri pants, but that’s probably just me), but the red and blue colours will make these very versatile, and allow you to pair them with lots of other summer looks, too. Click here to take a look.
Dolce & Gabbana’s SS 2011 runway show was one of my favourites of the season: it was just packed full of summery florals and other retro goodness, and I couldn’t be happier to see some of the pieces start to become available to buy. These floral print pumps are a case in point: while they don’t have the vibrancy of some floral prints, they’re still pretty and feminine, and the colours should prove easy to style. The pump itself, meanwhile, has such a classic shape that it’s the kind of thing you’ll have in your closet for years, and be able to wear with endless combinations of clothing.
These are $695 – click here to buy them from Neiman Marcus.
Now, don’t get me wrong here, I’m partial to a bit of crochet. No, really, I am. It’s one of those skills I’d quite like to learn, in fact. I have this image of myself whiling away the cold, dark January nights by sitting crocheting a quilt, or rug, or some such thing in front of an open fire. (The fact that I don’t actually have an open fire would be just one of the many problems with this, but I digress….)
One thing I haven’t ever really imagined myself doing is crocheting shoes, though. Or wearing crocheted shoes. I don’t know, the two just don’t seem to go together somehow, which is why I find myself looking at these Dolce & Gabbana pumps and being totally unable to make my mind up about them. Do I love them? Do I hate them? I’m not sure. (Well, OK, I’m pretty sure I don’t love them, let’s put it that way.)
What do you think, readers? Want to buy them? If you do, they’re $545 – click here to order a pair from Neiman Marcus.
This is my second Dolce & Gabbana shoe pick of the week, but you can blame Endless.com for that – they’ve just put a selection of the brand’s shoes on sale, and have included a couple of pairs that were guaranteed to end up on Shoeperwoman.
This is the second of those pairs, and I’m sure I won’t need to tell you why I like them. The pink uppers would’ve been sweet on their own, but add in the laser-cut hearts, and I’m sold: or I would be if I could find $575 lurking down the back of the couch.
If you DO have that much to spare, and your closet is just crying out for a pair of bright pink shoes, you can click here to buy these ones.
Two shades of green, a high heel and a bow? Well, Dolce & Gabbana are really spoiling me with these, aren’t they? And sure, there is the small matter of the beetle on the front. They’re not my favourite insects, it has to be said. (Um, come to think of it, I’m not sure I have a favourite insect. Does anyone? Ladybugs, maybe?) They do, however, add an interesting twist to a very sophisticated style, and I like that about them: at least it’s something different, no?
These are down to $341 at Endless.com – click here to buy them.
The Far Fetch sale has proven to be a happy hunting ground for shoes this week, but before I turn my attention to some other retailer, I just had to show you these heart print shoes by Dolce & Gabbana.
These are down to £219, and while the brown version is simply a nice twist on the classic peep toe, the white shoes are a little more adventurous, offering a furry, animal-print version of the heart print: rawr! I’m not sure I’d actually buy these (although I certainly wouldn’t kick the brown ones off the shoe shelves if they happened to land there as if by magic) but hey, they’re shoes with hearts on them: I felt almost obliged to show you them.
Do they warm the cockles of your own furry, animal print heart? (What do you mean, you don’t have an animal-print heart?) step right this way to buy them…
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.
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.
