Buckle stud heeled mules from River Island

buckle stud mules Buckle stud heeled mules from River IslandThese shoes are almost identical in shape to a style River Island released last summer: presumably they were successful enough to make them want to re-visit the look this year, and I can see why – I have a bit of a soft spot for the wooden-soled mule, and was gutted last year when the nautically-themed version went on sale in every size but mine!

I’m not quite as taken with this buckle-fronted version, but navy shoes are my current weakness, and the shoes on the right would get a lot of use were they to magically find themselves inside the Shoeper Shoe Closet!

If you think you’d wear them too, they’re £39.99 at River Island.

Jeremy Scott suede “bones” mules

jeremy scott bones mules Jeremy Scott suede bones mulesWhen I read that Jeremy Scott’s latest collection was Flintstones-themed, and then looked at these shoes, I was confused. I mean, sophisticated, vintage-style, shape, some kind of cute embellishment on the front. There’s nothing prehistoric about these, is there?

Then I looked at the view from above:

Ah. Now I get it: it’s what Pebbles Flintstone wore when she grew up. I still can’t decide, though: are these pleasantly quirky, or are they just too cartoonish for words? Yaba-daba-DO, or yaba-daba-DON’T?

Gian Marco Lorenzi rhinestone embellished platform mules

Gian Marco Lorenzi.mules  Gian Marco Lorenzi rhinestone embellished platform mulesI think it’s time for an intervention where Gian Marco Lorenzi is concerned. I mean, just look at these rhinestone embellished mules: such show-stoppers! So much potential to be beautiful, glamorous evening shoes! And yet, every time I look at them, I think I’m starting to get a migraine, because that ridiculous, mirrored platform makes me feel like I have double vision. Is it just me?

Yet another shoe ruined by The Curse of the Enormous Platform. So sad. So very, very sad. Although, given that these cost £1,229, that sadness is purely academic for me, anyway, because it’s not like I could’ve bought them, no matter WHAT they’d looked like. If you can, though, and you want to know what it feels like to be considerably taller than you already are, these are available at Far Fetch.

Rope front high heeled mules from River Island

Tap, tap: is this thing on?

Well, I think my internet connection is working again, but then, I thought that yesterday, too, only for it to drop out just as I was about to publish a post here. And then when I came back to that post today? The shoes I was going to show you were sold out. Gah. Blame Virgin Media, folks: I certainly am!

Anyway, rather than write lots and lots of words only to lose them again, I’m going to let you fill in the blanks yourself about these rope mules from River Island. You know the drill by now: “Blah, blah, nautical, blah blah, peep toe, blah blah, want them, etc.” All I’ll add to this is that although I know a lot of people find high heeled mules difficult to walk in, I personally really like them, and consider them to be a bit of a summer staple. If you do, too, these ones are £39.99 from River Island, and come in red and navy.
