Faith Chevelli knot-front suede court shoes

faith chevelli court shoes Faith Chevelli knot front suede court shoesAlong with bows and hearts and jewels and, oh, all kinds of other things, I’m quite partial to a big ol’ knot on the front of a shoe. I know that sounds like a strange thing to be a fan of, but when you look at these knot-front suede court shoes from Faith, maybe you’ll see what I mean.

Orange is this season’s hot colour right now (no pun intended), but as much as I love the shoe on the left of this photo, I also really like the black version on the right, which would make an elegant pump for work, or for anything you want to look a little bit “smart” for. Lovely.

Sorry for the lack of posts today, folks: we’ve been having the first really hot day of summer here, and each year when that blessed day arrives, we can guarantee that our internet connection will die. And it did. Seriously, it’s like living in the dark ages, only with reaaaalllly slow dial-up.

Anyway, onto the shoes! Prada went off the rails a little for the past couple of seasons (as far as I’m concerned, anyway), so this shoe is all the more pleasing to me: the nude (they call it “champagne”) uppers are obviously going to appeal, but I also like the knot detail, and the fact that it’ll sit across the bridge of the foot, or a little lower, rather than on the toe, which is where this kind of thing usually ends up on shoes.

Being Prada, though, these aren’t cheap: they’re $620 and you can buy them here.
