I had to do a double-take when I saw the price of these shoes. £26? I know Next isn’t the most expensive brand out there, but £26 seems particularly bargainous. As you’d probably expect for that price, these aren’t leather, but I love the cracked leather-effect uppers, which stop the silver colour being too shiny. Although I like bows, I tend not to like more than one of them on the same shoe, but I think I could probably be tempted by these little cuties, especially when they’re so affordable.
If you’re prepared to let them tempt you, too, you can buy them here.
These are real “Friday night” shoes, so I figured it was only right that I show them to you today. The Christmas party season always tends to dim my enthusiasm for sequined shoes a little, through sheer over-exposure to the sight of them. These Betsey Johnson sandals have managed to revive my interest a little, though, not just because they’re impossible to ignore, but also because I love the little flower on the front, and the way it softens up the overall look of these.
I don’t think I’ll ever really be much of a sequins girl, but if you are, you can buy these at Piperlime, where they’re $129.99.
This is another shoe shape that’s proved popular over the past year or so. I really like the pink and silver colour mix on these, and I’m starting to love the shape too. This is another case of “I’d have to see them in person”, though, because this image does make the materials look a little cheap – perhaps unsurprisingly, given that they only cost £20!
Shoes that have some kind of “curved” detail on them generally have a good chance of appearing here on Shoeperwoman, and these New Look sandals are no exception. At just £30, they’re the kind of shoes you’d buy for a party, probably not expecting to get a huge amount of use out of them afterwards, but the black and silver uppers will be really versatile, and I reckon they could be a good buy if you have a busy party season coming up, and don’t want to have to spend too much on a pair of shoes. The silver strap also has a vague Georgina Goodman/Nicholas Kirkwood feel about it, which is always a good thing in my book.
I never know whether to be sad that J Crew don’t ship to the UK, or relieved because of all the money that fact has saved me over the years. Take these little ‘Belle Fleur’ ballet flats, for instance: they’re $258, which is expensive for a pair of flats, but at that same time, they’re absolutely adorable. The mirrored silver leather and sparkly flower detail makes them perfect party shoes for anyone who doesn’t want to wear heels, and they’re every bit as delicate and glamorous as a pair of stilettos.
My bank balance therefore thanks J Crew for their shipping policy, but if you live in the US, Canada or Japan, you can buy these here.
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?
Until now I had absolutely no idea I needed a pair of silver wedges with a large hole in the heel in my life, but apparently I do. Dontchya just hate it when that happens?
These are the second pair of Casadei wedges I’ve shown you, but my relationship with these shoes is much less complicated than with the first pair, which I still can’t decide whether I love or hate. With these ones it’s love all the way, and although I can’t actually think of a single occasion I’d need these for, that’s never stopped me buying shoes before.
Sadly for me, the £694 price tag IS enough to stop me. If it doesn’t even give you pause for thought, however, you can buy these babies here.
