    These shoes are almost too cute for words. That means I’m going to have to show you a whole lot of photos of them instead:

    Don’t like pink? OK, how about blue?

    Polka dots? Check. Stripes? Check. Bow? Check. Peep toe? Check. All of those in one shoe? Are Menbur deliberately targeting me or something? Because it’s working, if so.

    I guess my only problem with these, is… which colour to get? Given a choice between pink and navy, navy would normally win every time, but in this case, I think I’m leaning towards the pink.

    Which would you go for?

    pink shoes Badgley Mischka Zakia dOrsay Pumps with Bow

    I have a feeling these shoes may be a little too sugary-sweet for a lot of you, and, like many of Badgley Mischka‘s designs, they have a very “bridesmaidy” feel to them, which may limit their appeal to those of us who don’t have a trip down the aisle planned this summer.

    For those who do, however, the pastel pink colour will work well with most of this season’s pastels, and the pretty gauze bow on the heel is a nice touch:

    I’d like these better without the ankle strap, but then again, I say the same thing about every shoe with an ankle strap, and this one does, at least, look like you could easily detach it without detracting from the look or fit of the shoe.

    These are $235 at Shopbop: click here to buy them.

    Kurt Geiger Carvela mid-heeled ‘Anna’ bow pumps

    One of my biggest shoe obsessions of the moment is with Carvela’s ‘Assemble’ , with their fabulous double bow and very “ladylike” look. I know many of you are engaged in what feels like a never-ending search for pretty, mid-height heels, though, so here’s the lower version of those shoes, a.k.a Carvela ‘Anna’.

    These have the same bow, and the same basic shape, but on a much lower heel. And I never thought I’d say this, because I tend to always go for high heels or flats, with nothing in between, but I really like these myself: the lower heel really lends itself to this shape, and gives them a bit of a 50s feel, which I, of course, thoroughly approve of.

    While the silver upper is pretty amazing, though, if glitter isn’t your thing, there are lots of others to choose from. I like them in pink:

    but if that’s too boring for you, they also come in orange/red:

    neon yellow:

    And purple:

    For what might just be the first time ever, I’m starting to feel like a pair of mid-height heels might be a good addition to my shoe shelves. If you feel the same, you can click here to buy these at Kurt Geiger, where they’re £120.

    I was quite surprised to find that these shoes are not only on sale (they’re down to just £30), they’re also still in stock in all sizes at Debenhams this week. No, they’re not the most summery style out there, but they are very cute, and the oversized, polka dot bow adds a touch of whimsy to what would otherwise be a standard black pump.

    Speaking of the bow, it actually reminds me a lot of the one on Kurt Geiger’s ‘Minnie’ pumps, which is probably why I instantly thought of Minnie Mouse as soon as I looked at them. Either that or I’ve been watching too much of the Disney channel.

    These are £30 at Debenhams: click here to buy them.

    pink bow flats Red Herring light pink sequin bow flats

    It’s not often I find myself drooling over a pair of flats – in fact, I think this may be a first – but I like these Red Herring ones so much that I think some drooling may be in order, don’t you?

    These are just so pretty and girlie that it would be hard for me not to like them. The pale pink upper and matching glitter bows have a very delicate, “special occasion” kind of feel, but while these would be perfect party shoes for those of you don’t want to wear heels, one of the other advantages of flats is that they’re a little easier to “dress down” than heels: I can just as easily imagine wearing these with a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt as with a pretty party dress, and as they’re just £18, you needn’t feel too guilty about not keeping them for “best” either.

    The bright, red and pink colour combo of last season is starting to die out a little, in favour of summer’s pastels. but it’s still popping up here and there, and these Moda in Pelle peep toes show that it hasn’t lost any of its impact: this brand had quite a few shoes I liked in their “new in” section this morning, but these were the ones that stood out, and it’s partly because that upper just can’t be ignored.

    It’s only partly because of the colour, though: these shoes have a lot going for them other than that, and I also like the geometric pattern and the little knotted bow, while that block heel should make these walkable, despite the fact that they’ll add almost five inches to your height.

    Like them? They’re £79.95 and you can click here to buy them at Moda in Pelle.

    These shoes are a good example of the difference colour can make to a shoe. They’re also available in a black and white upper, you see, and while that one doesn’t appeal to me at all (and I say that as someone with a soft-spot the size of China for shoes with that particular colour combination), this pink/tan version very much does. Oh yes.

    These combine brogue styling on the heel, combined with a very feminine pink bow and soft blush upper: again, it’s that juxtaposition of “sensible shoe” and “totally non-sensible shoe”, and it’s been done pretty well.

    One more good thing about these: the price. They’re a not-too-terrifying $89.99, and you can buy them at Zappos.com.

    red polka dot t bars Casa Dolce polka dot t bar shoes with bows

    I have the Domestic Sluttery ladies to thank – or possibly to blame, depending on whether it’s me or Shoeperman you’re talking to  - for bringing these shoes to my attention last week: there was just no way I could possibly resist showing you these, could I? They’re pretty much begging me to buy them write about them, what with the combination of bows, polka dots, t-bars, and everything else that is wonderful. And available in red and navy, which are two of my very favourite shoe colours, too!

    There’s even more good news, though: as well as being treats for your feet, these will also be kind to your bank account, costing it a mere £24.99. These are available at to pre-order now at Casa Dolce: the website says new stock was expected on April 12th, so hopefully they should be with you very soon, should you decide to treat yourself.
