    Pink floral tie clogs from Miss Selfridge

    miss selfridge clogs Pink floral tie clogs from Miss SelfridgeI’ve been firmly on the fence about the clog trend that’s been… well, “sweeping” would probably be too strong a word here, so let’s just say creeping through the world of fashion this season. Traditional, low-heeled clogs just don’t do it for me, but I’m not adverse to some of the high heeled versions, and actually have fond memories of a pair of black heeled clogs (with peep toes, natch.) which I wore to death a few years ago, and which were one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I ever owned. They were from Barratts. I really miss them.

    Anyway! Where was I? Oh yes, these pink sandals from Miss Selfridge, which are being described as “clogs” on account of the wooden heels/soles and the rivets on the platform. I’m not even a little bit on the fence about these: in fact, I’ve climbed right over the fence, and I’m sitting in the Pink Clog Camp. And guess what I’m wearing on my feet? Yup, I really like these, from the pale pink colour, which will help to perform the illusion of elongation on the leg, to the cute little floral print bows, which just scream “summer”.

    These are £45, and they’re available at Miss Selfridge. What do you think?

    opening ceremony bow boots Opening Ceremony bow front suede shoe bootsOpening Ceremony isn’t a brand I could claim to be particularly fond of: a disproportionate amount of their shoes could be described using the word “clumpy”, and I’m not totally sure these suede shoe boots don’t fall into that category too.

    These do have a couple of points in their favour, however. One is the colour, which is glorious. The other is those haphazard looking bows, the placement of which stops them looking too twee, and makes the overall look a little more interesting.

    Are those points enough to make up for the fact that these are, essentially, peep-toe boots? I really think these are the kind of shoes I’d need to see someone wearing in order to know how I really feel about them, but I’m not discounting them out of hand. If you’re not either, they’re available at Far Fetch, where they’re £280.

    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”.

    miss selfridge pink peep to Miss Selfridge pink suede platform peep toes with polka dot rosetteI 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.

    Peep toe bow platform shoes from River Island

    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.

    Faith’s pink satin ‘Lorna’ platform sandals

    faith lorna sandals Faiths pink satin Lorna platform sandalsThis 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

    tory burch wrap up sandals Tory Burch pink Wrap Up sandalsI 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.
