Givenchy pink lace peep toe shoe boots

Now, I know these are technically peep-toe boots, and I’ve always held firm on my dislike of peep-toe boots, but I actually think these are really pretty, and I don’t even care about the toe. Fickleness, thy name is Shoeperwoman.

I think the delicate look of these boots is what makes me able to overlook the peep toe – and the fact that they’re lace, which is another thing I’ve never been overly fond of. They have a very ethereal, barely-there look about them, and while I can imagine wearing them with an equally delicate dress, I can also imagine them with a pair of black skinny jeans, too.

Is this the start of a new love for peep toes on boots? I really hope not, but never say never…*

They’re £529 at Far Fetch.

*Unless you’re talking about Crocs, obviously. Then you should ALWAYS say “never”.



I first spotted these shoes a few weeks ago, in some kind of promotional material for Miss Selfridge, and I’ve been waiting for them to appear on the website ever since, just so I could show them to you!

I think these are perfect Spring/Summer shoes, and the blend of hot pink suede and polka dot embellishment makes them lots of fun, and all you’d need to make an old pair of jeans or little black dress look instantly more interesting. These are only £45, and are one of a few styles I have my eyes on at Miss Selfridge this season. Get them here.



You could tell just from the headline that I was going to like these shoes, couldn’t you? Well, you were right, I do. They come in four different colours, but for reasons I can’t even begin to explain, I’m going through a bit of a “pink” phase at the moment (this is strange to me, because I’ve never really been a “pink” girl), so these are the two that appeal most to me. My favourites are the pair on the right, which are just really fresh, and fun and spring-link, and not quite as “River Island Barbie” as the pair on the left, which also have the dreaded metal heel. I think I spy a stripey insole, too: that makes me happy.

These are £59.99. Get them here.



This is my second pink shoe pick of the day, but these ‘Lorna’ sandals from Faith are a little less vivid than the Tory Burch numbers I showed you earlier today – in fact, in the right light, they could almost pass as nude. That’s good news in the “will go with anything” stakes, and actually, I think these shoes are good news all round: I’m loving t-bar styles in general at the moment, and these combine a t-bar shape with satin uppers, a generous platform and a pretty little diamante detail on the toe.

These are also available in grey, with a black platform, but I think this pale pink is the nicer of the two colours. If you want to see for yourself, they’re £65 from Faith.

Tory Burch pink ‘Wrap Up’ sandals

I have a shocking confession to make. You may want to sit down before I say it.

Are you sitting down? OK, here goes…

I’ve never really “got” the appeal of Tory Burch’s famous flats.

I know people rave about them. I know they always seem to be spoken about as a “shoe staple”.  And they’re possibly the most comfortable shoes in all the world, for all I know. But I just don’t get them. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t hate them. They’re totally inoffensive to look at, but that’s all they are as far as I can see, so I’ve never quite understood why so many people seem to love them.

These shoes, on the other hand? These I can totally understand. Sure, they’re so pink you might need sunglasses to wear them, and those ankle ties will have lots of you shouting “Cankles! Cankles!” at the screen right this very second, but still, I’d take them over the flats any day. Anyone else? If so, they’re £295 at Net-a-Porter.



Barbie pink Louboutins! For those days when you just have to channel Elle Woods…

$795 at Barneys.

ASOS PUNTY Suede Cork Platform Court Shoe

Punty. For some reason, this word fascinated me, so while I’m sure ASOS.com probably intended it to be simply a fun shoe name (Kinda like the way Faith are always calling their shoes ‘Blippy’ or ‘Booby’ or somesuch) I decided to look it up on Urban Dictionary, which defines a “punty” as:

“A person who is short, and tries to make up for it by acting extremely angry and aggressive towards taller people.  You will often times hear a punty person talking about how bad it sucks to be short.”

So, now you know! You’ll definitely be a little less short in these shoes, because they have a 5.2″ heel and 1.3″ platform so that’s one thing sorted. As for being aggressive towards taller people, well, that would be very naughty, so don’t do it, OK?

And now, every time I look at these shoes, I will imagine them walking up to a taller pair of shoes (yes, I know it’s hard to imagine a taller pair of shoes) and getting all aggressive. I love a shoe with personality!

These are £40. Get them here.

Nicholas Kirkwood pink lizard lace-up sandals

I’m used to greeting almost everything Nicholas Kirkwood does with absolute glee, but these… these are different, aren’t they? And they’re clever. They’re interesting. They’re artistic. They’re… well, they’re really PINK, aren’t  they?

These shoes are all of those things, but are they something you’d want to buy and wear? I’m on the fence on this one, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide. If your answer is in the affirmative, you’ll find them at Louisa Via Roma, where they’re £697.50.



£10 in the Dorothy Perkins’ sale. Well, I could hardly have left them there, could I?

These shoes are actually a UK size 5, and I normally wear a 4, but one thing years of shoe-hunting has taught me is that when you spot a shoe you love on the sale rack, you grab it first, and you ask questions later. That’s exactly what I did with these, and when it came time to ask questions (the question, of course, being “will they fit me?”), I was pleased to find that the answer was a resounding “yes!”. These actually fit me perfectly, which is rather strange, especially when you consider that the final pair of new shoes I have to show you this week (more on those tomorrow) are also from Dorothy Perkins, but are a size 4.

Anyway, the shoe fit, Cinderella DID go to the ball, and all was well with the world. Well, sort of: I was having a bit of a depressing day on Saturday and I’m not going to say these shoes made everything seem that little bit better, but… actually, no I AM going to say that. Whaddya know, new shoes really DO cure the blues. Especially when they’re bright pink.

Office Betsey Bow pink polka dot court shoes

Pink! Polka dots! Bows! It would be hard to imagine a more unashamedly “girlie” shoe than these Betsey Bow shoes, by Office, which are clearly designed to allow us to fully indulge in sugary-sweet shoey goodness. Or badness, as the case may be: we all know too much sugar is bad for us, and these will be way too sweet to be wholesome for some of you. (And for me, too, if I’m completely honest.)

For those who just squeed in delight at the very sight of them, however, take a look here: they’re £60, and are also available in a rose print.
