Tag Archives: patentHeroes or Villains: Kitten heels
As you may know, the fashion world has decreed these to be back in a big way this season (or in a small, kitten-shaped way), and the proof of this can be found over at Topshop.com, where these red, kitten heel slingbacks are £55. Personally, kitten heels are one of my least-favourite styles: I’m basically an all-or-nothing kinda girl, and if I’m not wearing skyscrapers, I’d probably rather wear flats than go for the ever-so-slightly pointless looking “kitten”. That’s just me, however: there’s no doubt that these heels are more comfortable than stilettos, and will offer better arch-support than flats, but would you wear them? This particular pair have a very retro look about them (you could call them dated if you wanted to be less tactful, but I suspect this is a deliberate move on Topshop’s part), and if I was going to wear them, I’d probably try them with black capri pants or an Audrey Hepburn style black dress. What do you think of them: heroes or villains of the shoe world? Most wanted from our sponsorsShoe Kryptonite: Jimmy Choo red patent ‘Quiet’ peep toes
There’s absolutely nothing “quiet” about these shoes, is there? In fact, they’re practically screaming, “Look at me! Love me! Buuuuuyyyy meeeeeee!” Shoes: I’m listening. Sadly, though, my bank manager isn’t, so I’m going to have to ignore your clarion call, for now at least. Perhaps one of my readers will decide you’re beautiful enough to splash out $665 on, though? If so, they can buy you at Net-a-Porter. OK, I’m stopping talking directly to the shoes now…

Carvela green patent ‘Athena’ ribbon tie pumps
I’m a bit of a sucker for shoes that fasten with ribbons, rather than with traditional laces. It’s such a simple touch (and a really easy way to give any pair of lace-ups a face-lift), but does make a difference, giving the shoe a slightly more feminine feel. I’d point out that I’m also a bit of a sucker for the colour green, here, but I’m guessing my regular readers already know that, so I’ll simply note that these ‘Athena’ pumps by Carvela (£100) come in a particularly nice shade of green, and have a very Spring-like feel to them, although the fact that they have closed toes will allow you to get use out of them all the year round. Brian Atwood Katie Lee patent sandals
They’re £390 at Net-a-Porter. 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. Patent heart peep toe ballerina pumps from Accessorize
Oh, come on, you didn’t think I’d let a whole week go by without showing you at least one pair of heart-embellished shoes, did you? Actually, that’s what I was planning to do, but then these little patent flats popped up at Accessorize, and I just couldn’t resit showing you them. They’re only £22, and just the thing for summer days, when you can slip them on with shorts, dresses, jeans: you name it. Super-cute, and super-affordable, you can grab yourself a pair here here. Button mid shoes from Next in red and black patent
I’ve tried to resist commenting that these shoes are “as cute as a button”, but it looks like I can’t manage it. Forgive me. It IS true, though. Over-used as it may be, I think the word “cute” is very fitting here: the patent uppers and white piping give these a sassy feel, and, me being me, I really appreciate the dots and stripes on the insole, even although no one would actually see it when the shoes were on. It’s a shame Next didn’t provide a larger image of the red version of these on their website, because those are the ones I’d go for, but I’m sure you get the idea even from this tiny glimpse of them! These are just £26: get them here.

Office red patent ‘bow time’ platform shoes
OK, I actually can’t BELIEVE I haven’t shown you these shoes already. I mean, look at them! They’ve been on the Office website for a while now in plain black leather, and I’ve noticed them a few times, but haven’t got round to writing about them. Now that I’ve seen the red patent versions, though, they’ve gone straight onto my wish list. Adorable. You can buy them at Office, where they’re £65, but do me a favour: leave some size 4s for me, eh?
