These shoes have thrown me slightly, because I feel like I should like them much more than I actually do. The purple colour is glorious, the bow is cute… and yet something’s still holding me back. I think I’d probably like them more if those straps on the side were a little narrower: as they are, they look like they’d cover a lot more of the foot than I like in an evening shoe, but that may well just be the photography.
What do you think of them? If it’s unreserved approval, you can buy them for £325 at Kate Spade.

A simple, suede court shoe, but of course, sometimes “simple” is exactly what you’re looking for – and if it just so happens to come with a bow on top, well, so much the better!
These little ‘Phoenix’ pumps from Office will take you just about everywhere, and come in three different colours. I’m instantly drawn to the purple, but I’ve been buying a lot of blue recently, so I suspect I could probably find some space in my closet for those, too. And, you know, you ALWAYS need a nice pair of black pumps, don’t you? Whoops! Sucked in again!

Call me crazy (Note: please don’t!) but it was actually the orange version of this shoe that pulled me in, and I’m still liking it now. And I say this as someone who doesn’t own a single item of orange clothing or footwear, and would have happily kept it that way forever more.
If you’re not so keen on the orange, though (and granted, it won’t be for everyone), these are also available in purple and black, and are a nice pair of plain pumps, with just that single line of studs along the sole to make them a bit more interesting. They’re £35 from Dorothy Perkins.

Recognise these? Yes, it’s yet ANOTHER version of the Christian Louboutin ‘Dillian’ pumps: or, as I like to think of them, “The style that just won’t die.”
These are by Vince Camuto, and I’m rather taken with the purple suede uppers. Every time I’ve ever worn my red Matalan versions of this style, though, I’ve worn them WITHOUT the ruffle, and I suspect that would probably be the case with these, too. If you think you’d get some use out of them, though, they’re $111 from Heels.com.

God bless, Matalan. I mean, seriously: where else would you find such cute little shoes, for just £14?
I’ve just spent the last few minutes looking at these and thinking, “I like the teal best! No! The purple! Then again, the black is pretty cute, too… Hmmm.” I’ve come to the conclusion that I like all of them equally, and given that you could BUY all of them for just £42, I think I see what Matalan’s game is here. Damn them.
Which would you go for, if any?

YSL’s Tribute sandals have become something of a modern classic, and I don’t think it’s too hard to see why. This purple version of the style has just become available at Net-a-Porter, although at the not-exactly-wallet-friendly price of £685. I think the colour is absolutely glorious, the price less so; luckily, though, we’ve seen lots of high street versions of this shoe already, so hopefully it won’t be too long before a more affordable interpretation pops up somewhere!

They say you learn something new every day, and today I’ve learned there’s a shoe brand called “Fergie”. Whether after the Black Eyed Pea, the Duchess or York or some other Fergie, I have no idea, but there it is.
These shoes are “Fergies”, and I think they probably fall into that “things I shouldn’t like, but do” category. I don’t know, I have a feeling that, in person, they could look just a little bit cheap, but in this photo, I rather love them, even although they seem to be crying out to be worn to a disco in the 80s, and that’s just not going to happen.
The shape of the heel, combined with the unusual colour-mix is what makes these shoes stand out, though, and I’d like to see the same shape, only with different colours – black and red, maybe?
These are $69.99 from Piperlime.
