ASOS PROP Leather Pointed Platform Court Shoes

Yes, it’s those pointed toes again! They’re pretty much inescapable right now, but these ones are attached to a very small platform, which makes them just a little bit different to some of their point-toed sisters. It wasn’t the platform or the toes which made me stop and take a second look at these, though – it was that lovely, duck-egg blue shade on the right. It’s always been a bit of a favourite of mine, but I don’t actually own any shoes in this particular shade, which is very remiss of me.

I’m not going to be owning these ones either, because they’re £60, and I think I’ve bought more than enough pairs of shoes this month already, but if you fancy buying a pair, in either this or the bright pink upper which is also available, you can click here to get them at ASOS.

Shoe Review: Carvela ‘Australia’ pink patent peep toes

SHOES: Carvela ‘Australia’ pink patent peep toes
PRICE: £140.50
BUY: Sarenza.co.uk

For this month’s Sarenza Brand Ambassador pick, I chose these pale pink peep toes by one of my favourite brands, Carvela. This choice was a bit of a no-brainer for me: I’d seen these shoes in the Kurt Geiger store in Edinburgh earlier this month, and had instantly fallen in love with them, partly because of the gorgeous, curvy shape, but also because the pale pink upper is the perfect “nude” for my skin tone.

Now, I already have more than my fair share of “nude” shoes, obviously. The pair I wear most often, though, are almost at the end of their life, and will probably have to be retired at some point this year, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have these ones in reserve. And honestly, I don’t think you can ever really have too many pairs of this style of shoe: I’m definitely not worried about how I’ll “save” them in the Shoe Challenge, let’s put it that way!

These shoes are far prettier in real life than they are in these photos. Even more importantly, though, they’re probably one of the most comfortable pair of heels I own: I find that patent uppers can be a little stiff and prone to rubbing when they’re new, but not these ones: they’re super-soft, and really a pleasure to wear. I went for my usual size 4/37, and the fit is perfect, as it always is with Carvela: this is one brand I never have to worry about sizing with, and these were no exception.

These are £140.50 at Sarenza, and also available in a beautiful bright blue, which I also have my eye on. Click here to buy a pair.

Beautiful Bridal Shoes: Faith rhinestone bow courts

A lot of people end up on this site because they’re looking for shoes to wear to a wedding (whether their own or someone else’s), so especially for those people, here’s a lovely little shoe by Faith, which would be suitable for brides, bridesmaids and, well, anyone else who feels they have a good reason to wear satin shoes with a rhinestone bow on the toe. I don’t have such a reason, unfortunately, but I’d give it a shot anyway, because these are just gorgeous:

You wouldn’t really want to cover those up with a long gown, would you?

Faith have a really nice collection this season: since they were bought over by Debenhams, the brand seems to be moving more towards the evening/bridal end of the market, and doing a pretty good job of it, too, so if you’re looking for shoes for a special occasion, they’re well worth a look. These particular shoes are currently reduced to £44, and you can find them here, along with the rest of the range.

ASOS ‘Loveboat’ boat shoes with heart detail

Despite my love of all things nautical, I’m not a fan of boat shoes. At all, in fact. So, why am I showing you these ones from ASOS? Because these ones are the only deck shoes I’ve ever seen which I can actually imagine myself wearing. I’m not saying I’m going to rush out and buy them, and start wearing them when I’d normally wear stilettos, you understand. But if, say, I was invited on a boat trip (Yes, I know, it’s probably not going to happen, but I like to have a sartorial plan in place for every eventuality. You just never know when you’re going to be invited to lunch on someone’s yacht, do you?), and I knew I’d have to wear somewhat “sensible” shoes… I would rush out and buy these ones. Because they’re only £20, they’re pink and blue and unashamedly “cute”, and they have a loveheart detail on the vamp:

I’d wear them with a little white mini dress, or possibly cropped pants in the same colour. No, don’t tell me white isn’t practical on yachts, I’m not listening. Look, I’m sacrificing my heels here, what more do you want from me?

Wow, I’m so glad I have that “yacht” outfit sorted! You still won’t be seeing me in loafers any time soon, though.

(Click here to buy these at ASOS.)

P.S. I should probably make it clear that the above scenario was just supposed to be a joke: sometimes I like creating fantasy outfits for scenarios that will never happen to me – in those situations, anything goes!

Pink t-bar peep toes from River Island

Oh, I do love a nice t-bar. And, as of this month, I suddenly love pink. This was an unexpected development for me, because I’ve never been a “pink” girl, but right now, I just can’t get enough of it, especially when it comes in very pale, shimmery hues, like these River Island shoes.

This shade is almost pale enough to be skin-toned on me (Er, not that I have pearlescent skin, you understand…) so I also like the fact that these would work as a neutral on me, as well as tying in nicely with my current obsession with pastels. They’re possibly a little bridal for everyday wear, but hey, when has that ever stopped me before?

These are £70 at River Island: click here to buy them.

Dolce & Gabbana crystal-embellished satin pumps

Every time I find myself thinking that I’m not much of a fan of lots of crystals (or other types of “bling”) on shoes, something like this comes along to change my mind.

These are by Dolce & Gabbana, and I’m sure I can’t be the only one who swooned a little when they popped up on Net-a-Porter yesterday. Or the only one who gasped in horror at the £2,500 price tag, come to think of it. Still, they are beautiful shoes, and if you’re thinking you’d need a super-special outfit to be able to wear them, think again:

She’s dressed a little bit like a waitress. But damn, she must be making some pretty decent tips…

Sarenza Brand Ambassador Pick: Buffalo Dita Flower courts in hot pink

It’s Sarenza Brand Ambassador time again, and this month I decided to use my voucher to buy these platform pumps by Buffalo - a brand which is slowly threatening to take over my shoe shelves this year, despite my never having owned a single pair of their creations up until the end of the Shoe Challenge.

These shoes actually looked purple on my monitor, but are a hot pink in real life, with perhaps some purplish undertones: either way it’s not a shade that’s very well represented in my collection at the moment, so these are a welcome jolt of colour! If you look at them on the Sarenza website, you’ll see one other difference, which is that they come with a detachable flower embellishment:

I ordered these knowing I’d be instantly removing the flower, which is a little big for my tastes. I have kept them, though, in case I change my mind, although if I do decide to wear them, I’ll probably find another way to clip them onto the front of the shoe, without showing the wide black elastic. At the moment, though, I think the simple court which lies underneath is pretty enough on its own: these have a very high heel (5.5″), but are easy to walk in, thanks to the platform sole. I ordered my usual size 4, which fit perfectly, and continues my run of good luck with Buffalo sizing.

My only slight concern with these is for the heel, which is super-shiny, and a little delicate: because I’m clumsy, I managed to scratch one very slightly when I was taking them out of the box – it’s not noticeable, but I’ll have to take care when I’m wearing them, so I don’t pick up any damage!

These are available at Sarenza: click here if you want to buy yourself a pair!

Steve Madden ‘Intrude’ point toed court shoes

I’ve spoken a lot over the course of the past year about my gradual conversion to pointed toes, and I feel that conversion is finally complete. I’m not abandoning the round and almond toes which have been my standard shoe-look for years now, and I’m not embracing all pointed toes (heaven forbid!), but I have found myself wearing the few pointed pairs in my collection a lot more often than I’d have anticipated lately, so I think they’re here to stay – for the time being, at least.

I put this conversion of mine (up until about a year ago, I didn’t even OWN any pointed toe shoes, and didn’t expect to, either!) down to two things:

1. My ever-growing love of ankle cropped trousers.

I just never seem to tire of this style, and, on me, at least, I think a slightly longer toe works well with crops, creating a more elegant look.

2. Shorter toes.

The pointed toes of the 90s were super-long, and super-thin: I still find that look very dated, and can’t imagine wanting to go back to it anytime soon, but the current crop of courts have shorter toes, like the ones shown above, which are far easier to wear, and don’t have the effect of elongating the foot in the same way.

All of which is a really long-winded way of saying that I really like Steve Madden’s ‘Intrude’ courts. Especially in the green, but you knew I was going to say that, didn’t you?

These are £89.95: click here to buy them at Zappos.
