hetty rose floral print shoes Hetty Rose launches her first ready to wear shoe collection at London Fashion WeekIf you like your shoes made just for you, chances are you’ve probably heard of Hetty Rose, whose bespoke, handmade shoes have been charming the shoe world for the past three years.

Prices start at £150, and the shoes will be available to order through the Hetty Rose website. If you can’t wait until then, however, I’ve provided a sneak peak under the jump!

Aruna Seth ‘Cerise’ diamante wedges in nude and black

aruna seth cerise shoes Aruna Seth Cerise diamante wedges in nude and blackWhen The Fashion Police wrote about these shoes last year, they received a really mixed response. Some people absolutely loved them, while others thought there was just WAY too much bling n’ bow for one shoe. The controversy was mostly caused by this:

aruna seth heel Aruna Seth Cerise diamante wedges in nude and black

It’s one hell of a heel, isn’t it? And I can totally understand why it wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste: it’s just so over-the-top that it’d be suitable for only the dressiest of occasions. If you have such an occasion to attend, though, I think this would be a show-stopper of a shoe, and the nude version could make a nice bridal shoe, too.

The two colours shown here are £625 from Aruna Seth, however there’s also a black snakeskin version which is even more expensive at £725. View them all at the Aruna Seth website.

Customised retro peep toe shoes: ‘Picnic Basket’ by Shoe Missy

shoe missy peep toes Customised retro peep toe shoes: Picnic Basket by Shoe MissyAs I’m sure my friends at The Fashion Police will confirm, I’m a big fan of anything that can be even vaguely described as “retro”. So Shoe Missy, who customises shoes in a “pin up girl” style, is right up my street, then.

These ‘Picnic Basket’ peep toes are absolutely adorable, with their over sized gingham bows and pale blue uppers. So adorable, in fact, that they’re sold out at the Shoe Missy website. Don’t despair, though, because I managed to track them down to Pin-Up Parade, who are stockists of the brand, as well as selling a range of retro-style clothes which have me drooling every time I look at them. Enjoy! (And don’t blame me if your credit card ends up taking a severe beating…)
