    Brian Atwood gold slingbacks, £270

    I’m pretty sure now that Brian Atwood has been sent to destroy me. I mean, would you just look at these gold slingbacks: they’re simple, yes, but to a shoe addict such as myself, they’re still almost irresistible. The pale gold, go-with-anything color, the sleek lines, the delicate shape… I absolutely love them, and think they’d be wonderful party shoes, or would even make a good pair of wedding shoes (with the added bonus that you’d be able to wear them again, afterwards),

    Given how much I like them, then, I need hardly even add that they’re sold out in my size (Which indicates that Yoox.com were sent to destroy me, too. The enemies of a shoe superhero are many…), but if you want to see if they’re available in yours, take a look here.

    Despite appearances, it’s not often that a shoe comes along which I can love unreservedly, without wanting to change something about it. These Rupert Sanderson sandals fall into that category, though: I think they’re beautiful just the way they are, managing to be both simple and stylised at the same time. They’re also sophisticated and sexy (so all the S’s, basically), and the gold uppers will make them an excellent pair of evening shoes, that would work with almost everything. They’re £45 at Matches Fashion.

    Gold ‘Priscilla’ sandals by Topshop Boutique

    topshop priscilla sandals Gold Priscilla sandals by Topshop Boutique

    Did anyone else’s brains just add the words “Queen of the Desert” after the word ‘Priscilla’ in the title of this post? Mine did: and not because I’m losing my mind (or not just because I’m losing my mind, anyway), but because these have a very OTT feel about them, which their namesake ‘Priscilla’ would probably appreciate.

    From the back, the high ankle on these gives them a “wings on the heels” look (so Achilles would probably like them, too!) and they also have a sculpted heel and a two-tone platform. Quite a lot going on there for one little shoe, but I’m mostly remininded of a pair of “Punk Shoes”, complete with mohawk.

    What do you think? If you like them, they’re £120 from Topshop.

    I showed you the ankle boot version of these shoes back in September, and opinions about them were split. I think they’re just as striking as court shoes, and if you like your heels high, well, these could be the shoes for you: the stiletto is 5″ high, although the high platform will make it feel lower, and perhaps make them easier to walk in. I say “perhaps” – there’s just something very fragile looking about a stiletto this high, and I have a feeling my clumsy self would somehow contrive to snap it in two, but if you have more luck with these things, you can buy these at Zappos, where they’re $424.

    LFI FRIEL008 3 1 Celebrity Shoes: Anna Friels gold sparkly pumps

    I wish I’d been able to get a better picture of these shoes, but this was the best the image agency had to offer, so it’ll have to do for now!

    I thought Anna Friel looked stunning last night, as she switched on the Christmas lights in Bond Street, London, wearing a tight pink dress and these sparkly gold shoes. I’m not sure who they’re by (any ideas?), but they have a bit of a fairytale feel to them, and were a great match for the old-style glamour that’s becoming Anna’s trademark. Take a look at what she wore with them under the jump…

    dsquared2 slingbacks Dsquared2 suede shoes with gold snakeskin strapsI tend to associate Dsquared2 with some of the more “out there” styles of footwear, but these black and gold beauties: well, they’re just absolutely gorgeous, and very elegant into the bargain. I love the black and gold mix, the slight vintage feel, and the slender, gold heel. These are glamorous and sophisticated, but not too over the top. Amazingly, they’re also on sale, down to £185 at Yoox, although sadly only available now in UK sizes 4 and 6. I’m going to pretend I didn’t notice that size 4 just happens to be MY size…

    topshops lydia sandals Topshop ‘Lydia’ gold platform sandals

    As soon as Autumn arrives, so do shoes that look a bit like this: gold (or silver), shiny, strappy… They’re here for the Christmas party season, I guess, although to be honest, if you’re planning what to wear at Christmas parties then all I can say is you’re a more organised person than me – I haven’t even planned what to wear today yet.

    Anyway, Topshop’s ‘Lydia’ is probably a good example of what this year’s generic party shoe is going to look like, because as well as being gold and shiny, it also has studs and a platform - two of this year’s biggest trends, need I remind you. These are £65 and available here.
