Prada high leg multi-strap pumps

Enough straps for ya?

Well, they’re definitely attention-getting, aren’t they?

These are from Prada’s Spring/Summer collection, and they’re just a tad too strappy for me: I also shudder to think of the interesting tan lines you could end up in if you wore them out in the sun for too long! What I’m trying to say here is that they definitely won’t be for everyone – and that’s possibly a good thing, because it’s not everybody who could afford them, at $720.

The high leg on these means you’re definitely going to want to whip out the tape measure and measure your calf circumference before buying these, too: they measure 6″, and the right fit here will be essential: too tight and they’ll dig into your legs, too loose and they’ll look saggy, neither of which will be a great look.

Want to give them a go? Head over to Saks!

Carvela ‘Guest’ satin sandals in pink and black

carvella guest Carvela Guest satin sandals in pink and blackLooks like Carvela have taken the ruffle trend to new heights: literally.

It really has been the year of the ankle in the shoe world, with almost every style out there having a high, chunky ankle strap added to it at some point. I know this a look a lot of you have hated, feeling that only those with the slimmest possible ankles and calves can pull it off. I don’t necessarily think that’s true, but I do think the look has been taken too far with this particular shoe, which looks vaguely comical to me – for some reason, ruffles like this always look like a moustaches to me, and, well, a moustache isn’t high on the list of things I look for in my shoes.

Anyway, thhat’s just me. If you like these, they’re £110 at Debenhams.
