Givenchy Platform Shoe Boots in Nude and Black

givenchy nude platform shoe boots Givenchy Platform Shoe Boots in Nude and BlackI realise this is the second pair of nude (on me) shoe boots I’ve shown you recently, but please indulge my current obsession with this style: my mind has started to turn to winter, and these are just much too lovely to ignore.

They’re by Givenchy, and they’re also lovely in black: I think these would be perfect with a pair of 40s-style trousers, or something equally tailored: they have a kind of understated glamour about them that’s very appealing, especially when winter rolls around.

The downside, of course, is the price: these are $795 at Barneys.

Triple buckle peep toe shoes from Matalan

matalan nude shoes Triple buckle peep toe shoes from Matalan

These are far from being the most interesting shoes Matalan have ever come up with (I think the orange ruffle platforms win that title, and I’m still kicking myself for not buying them when I had the chance!), but the combination of the colour and shape means they could just be one of the more useful: I can imagine wearing these with everything from summery dresses to pencil skirts and jeans. They’re super-affordable too, at just £12, and they’re also available in black. Get them here.

Miss Floyd nude patent high heeled pumps

Oh Lordy. Be still, my heart! It’s like a nude version of the Feticha pumps, only cheaper. And perhaps a little easier to walk in. It’s like they were sent just to tempt me.

To anyone else, these will just be a plain pair of court shoes, of course. To me, though, they’re the kind of shoes I’d wear all the time, with everything, and cry when they finally gave up the ghost. Each to their own, I guess. They’re £159 from Peeptoe Shoes.

ASOS Princess Peep Toe Shoes

asos princess peep toes ASOS Princess Peep Toe Shoes

Oh dear. I think I may just have identified my 72nd pair of shoes. And maybe the 73rd too, actually. Yes, I know they’re just plain peep toes, but during the warmer months of the year, I more or less live in plain peep toes: they’re one of my favourite style of shoes, the shape works with just about anything, and it so happens that I’ve been on the lookout for a red pair for quite some time now. And a nude pair. I could really be doing with a black pair too, and I’m not even joking here. Seriously, give me these three shoes, plus some peep-toe appropriate weather, and I bet I could wear nothing else on my feet for a month. Hey, maybe that should be my next shoe challenge?

The nude pair of these actually looks a little on the white side to me (even my pale legs aren’t quite that colour), but the red is just the shade I’m looking for: it’s bright, but not so bright that it looks cheap, which can sometimes be a problem with red shoes.

One of the best things about these, though, is the price. They’re just £25, and you can buy them at ASOS.com.

People’s Choice Awards: Sandra Bullock in Brian Atwood’s Maniac pumps

Sandra Bullock Brian Atwood pumps

Now, you COULD say that Sandra Bullocks’s shoes were one of the more boring choices for the People’s Choice Awards, but I, of course, would have to argue with you there, because they’re one of my favourite colours (or lack or colours), by one of my favourite designers (Brian Atwood), so naturally, I love them.

These are Atwood’s ‘Maniac’ pumps, and they’re currently sold out, which is probably a good thing for my bank balance. I think they were a good choice to go with Sandra Bullock’s dress – take a look and see if you agree:

Patent Mary Jane court shoes in nude and black from Miss Selfridge

nude mary janes miss selfri Patent Mary Jane court shoes in nude and black from Miss Selfridge

Once again, Miss Selfridge have embarked upon a devilish plan to get my money, by producing another cute, nude coloured shoe! These ones come with a chocolate coloured bow, and are also available in black patent. I like them (well, duh!) but something about the front of the shoe looks just a little clumsy to me – possibly just the angle of the photo.

These are an affordable £35, and you can buy them at Miss Selfridge.

Nude patent platform peep toes from Miss Selfridge

miss selfridge nude peep to1 Nude patent platform peep toes from Miss Selfridge

Aaargh! It’s a pair of nude peep toes! That means I’m going to want to buy them, doesn’t it?

And, indeed, the answer to that question turns out to be “yes” – as soon as I laid eyes on the sweetheart shape of the toe, I was sold. Or rather, they were sold. (Well, not yet, because apart from anything else, Sod’s Law has been at work here, and they’re sold out in my size, and ONLY in my size. Clearly the shoe gods don’t want me to have them, which is probably a good thing, because neither does Shoeperman, or my bank manager.)

The fact that they only cost £40 is another point in their favour, as is the fact that they also come in black. I have a feeling the photograph hasn’t done them justice here – I tend to find that Miss Selfridge shoes look better in real life – so I’d probably want to check them out in person before taking the plunge.
