When I was a child, we used to play a game: you’d take a piece of paper, and fold it into a shape a little bit like the embellishment on the front of these shoes – how, I don’t remember. On the outside, you’d write numbers, and on the inside would be… actually, I’ve long since forgotten the kind of thing you’d write on the inside, except that I think it had something to do with telling people’s “fortunes”, and there was some complicated means by which these “fortunes” would be revealed. Does anyone have even the slightest idea what I’m talking about here? No? OK, well, moving on…

I mention all of this because it was the very first thing that popped into my mind when I spotted these Beatrix Ong pumps at Far Fetch. They’re down to £159 in the sale, and that’s probably one of the more unusual embellishments you’ll see on a shoe, this month at least. The flared heel shape isn’t bad either, and the colour is certainly bright enough! If you don’t like the heel, these are also available as flats: click here to have a look!
