KG by Kurt Geiger ‘Imogene’ glitter platform sandals

kg by kurt geiger imogene glitter sandals KG by Kurt Geiger Imogene glitter platform sandals

We’re used to Kurt Geiger bringing us beautiful shoes and sophisticated shoes, so now it’s time for them to bring us a pair of totally extravagant shoes, and these Imogene sandals are just that. With glitter, bows (three of ‘em) and crystals, they’ve gone all-out to make these as sparkly and as girlie as it gets, and I think they’ve succeeded.

Is it all too much? Well, possibly. But with a plain enough dress, these could just be perfect, too. They’re £160 at Kurt Geiger website – click here to buy them.

Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Catenita glitter slingbacks

christian louboutin catenita pumps Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Catenita glitter slingbacks

Some people love glitter and other people hate it.

Going by this example, I think it’s fair to say that Christian Louboutin really, really loves it. And if you do too, a mirrored platform and a sky-scraper heel might just make you love them even more. Or they might make you feel like you’re wearing the shoe equivalent of a disco on your feet, who knows.

These are the Catenita glitter slingbacks, and they’re $895 from the Christian Louboutin official website.

Miu Miu glitter zip-back booties

miu miu glitter booties Miu Miu glitter zip back bootiesYou could’ve guessed these boots were by Miu Miu without even reading the title of this post, couldn’t you? The glitter is a dead givewaway…

Now, glitter wouldn’t be the first thing I’d choose to have on boots, but as the UK appears to be determined to cling onto winter ALL THE TIME, I guess I can see how some rather more glamorous boots could come in handy. These might be a bit much for normal daywear, mind you, but the all-black uppers help to tone them down just a little, although “toned down” isn’t generally what you’re looking for if you’re in the market for glitter-covered footwear, is it?

What do you think of these? If you love them, head over to Bergdorf Goodman, where they’re $675.

Miu Miu glitter wedge sandals

miu miu glitter sandals Miu Miu glitter wedge sandalsTrust Miu Miu to add glitter to a summery sandal!

The shape of these shoes, plus the low, tan coloured wedge, says “picnic in the park” to me, but the glittery uppers seem to want to toss the picnic aside and have a glitzy party in the park instead. Strangely, though, the combination works, and I think these could be great shoes for summer, with the heel making them a comfortable alternative to stilettos, while all that glitter ensures they’ll never be ignored. 

These are $545 at Bergdorf Goodman.

Miu Miu silver glitter bow detail flats

miu miu glitter flats1 Miu Miu silver glitter bow detail flatsNo one does glittery shoes quite like Miu Miu – and some of you may well feel that’s a good thing, given that these little Miu Miu flats look like they’ve been positively DRENCHED in glitter, as opposed to simply sprinkled with the stuff.

Add some sparkly crystals on the bow, and you have yourself a totally OTT pair of flats that are almost guaranteed to be noticed wherever you wear them. These are currently on sale at Bluefly, but even the sale price is expensive at $500. Worth it, do you think?

Jimmy Choo glitter fabric ‘Lace’ peep toe shoes

jimmy choo lace Jimmy Choo glitter fabric Lace peep toe shoes

Yes, I know: the name of these shoes confused me, too, because although they’re called ‘Lace’, there doesn’t appear to be a scrap of lace on them. Instead, the uppers are made from a glitter-encrusted fabric, and as far as I’m concerned, if shoes HAVE to have glitter on them, then this is the way I’d like it to be done. These are pretty and sparkly, but don’t look like the result of a child’s art project, which is always a good thing when you’re talking about shoes that cost £325!

Would you be willing to spend £325 on them, though? If you would, you can buy them on the Jimmy Choo website.

Miu Miu glitter embellished platform sandals

miu miu glitter sandals Miu Miu glitter embellished platform sandals

I know I’m always saying that I’m not fond of glitter or sequins on shoes, but I should probably STOP saying it, because no sooner are the words out of my keyboard than some glitter-covered shoes will come along, and force me to eat those words. They’re normally made by Miu Miu, now I come to think of it.

These spectacular platform sandals are the latest lovelies to have me thinking, “You know, maybe I DO need a pair of glitter-covered shoes after all?” They’re just begging to be danced in, and even although they have a 5.5 inch heel, I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d love to take them up on that. If you would, too, they’re £365 at Net-a-Porter, which means that if you just set aside one tiny pound every day for the next year, you’ll be able to afford them no problem. And when you put it like that…

Harumi Watanabe sequin and glitter pumps

sequin and glitter shoes Harumi Watanabe sequin and glitter pumpsMy, my! Sequins AND glitter, together on the same shoe! Sounds a bit like the kind of thing a pre-schooler would do to a shoe if he was given five minutes alone with it and the craft table: and, actually, it kind of LOOKS like that too, doesn’t it? Those over-lapping sequins, combined with the multicolured glitter, make me think of the kind of thing I’d proudly drag home from nursery school (kindergarten) and make my parents put on display, although if I’d had those kind of mad skillz as a child, I could’ve called myself Harumi Watanabe and charged £371 per pair. Another opportunity missed!

These are presumably designed to appeal to those who take a magpie approach to shoe shopping, going for all that glitters and shines. These shoes will do both: if that sounds good to you, you can buy them  at Louisa Via Roma.
