And now for something completely different: Modcloth’s ‘Pencil Me In’ flats, which look like… I don’t actually need to finish that sentence, do I?
These aren’t my style AT ALL, but if they’re right up your pencil case, you can click here to buy yourself a pair for £97.99. What do you think of them?
They’re a different colour, and they have a slightly higher heel, but other than that, these shoes are pretty much identical to a pair Office brought out last year. Remember them?
The biggest difference here, however, is the price: the Office shoes retailed for £60, whereas the Modcloth versions are just $37,99, which is an absolute bargain, and makes me want to yell, “QUICK, PEOPLE! GET THEM! GET THEM BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!”
Have you got them yet?
If you’ve tried to get them, you’ll probably have noticed they’re already sold out in some sizes – or possibly in all sizes, depending on when you’re reading this, and how good your fellow readers were at obeying my ALL CAPS shouty direction above. If your size is gone, I’m sorry, I did my best to warn you. If it isn’t, though, click here to claim your prize…
Red suede shoes? With a peep toe? And a flower detail? A POLKA DOT flower detail? Well, these may as well have had my name on them, no? I’d actually prefer them with either a full-wedge or a stiletto, but the demi-wedge shape is hugely popular at the moment, and it does help make these a little more interesting.
Of course, the suede isn’t real, but for just $39.99, I think I can forgive it. If you can too, you can click here to order these from Modcloth.
How to break a pair of stylish Spectator pumps out of the menswear-inspired mold this style tends to inhabit? Why, just add a big red bow, of course: simple!
These are from Modcloth, as you may well have guessed from the retro look of them, and they’re as adorable (not to mention affordable) as most of the online store’s offerings. Mixing a playful bow with a grown-up style, these would look fantastic with a pair of wide-leg trousers, to continue the retro-glamour theme, but would also work well with more up-to-the-minute pieces, too.
What do you think? They’re just $54.99 at Modcloth.
Yes, readers, it’s your regularly scheduled heart-shaped-shoe of the week! (OK, so they’re not actually heart-shaped. That would be weird. But… oh, you know what I mean.)
I can’t quite give you ten things I love about these shoes, but I can give you four:
1. The name. Oh, come on, you’ve got to love a company who names their shoe ’10 Things I Love About Shoe’!
2. The heart. Well, d’uh!
3. The comic-book look of said heart. Well, I’m a cartoon superhero, of course I’m going to like that!
When will I learn to stay away from the Modcloth website? I don’t think I’ve ever looked at it without finding something I instantly wanted to buy, and today that “something” is these red ‘Marilyn’ ankle boots, which are adorable, and only $42.99.
Of course, this being Modcloth, and the world not being fair, they’re already selling out fast, so my apologies if your size is gone by the time you see this. If it’s any consolation, mine is too. Oh, the humanity!
They may not be the most expensive looking shoes you’ll ever find, but for $34.99 I think they’re pretty cute. The d’orsay shape is one that we haven’t seen quiet as much of as usual over the last couple of years, but these are a really nice use of it, with the colour making them both red and “hot”, hence the name.
Lately I’ve been in the market for a pair of winter-appropriate wedges, all of mine being of the “summery sandal” variety. These ones from Modcloth are actually nothing like the ones I’d been picturing in my head, and which I suspect don’t actually exist in real life, but I like them anyway: they’re definitely winter-appropriate, and they’re also super-cute, what with the little bow on the toe and the subtle yellow and blue on the uppers.
