Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Rene Caovilla satin platform slingbacks Rene Caovilla satin platform slingbacks The front of these shoes may not be much to write home about, but hey, look at those soles! Not only is the platform studded with crystals, the sole itself is a shimmery silver which is really rather special. And I know, I know: no one would even see them once they were on, but you’d know they were there, and sometimes it’s these little details that make a shoe. Sadly, in this case, I don’t think the unusual sole is enough to warrant the $1,295 price tag. As I said, the satin part of the shoe is just very ordinary looking to me, and not even the bling at the bottom is going to lift these into the thousand-dollar-shoe category for me. If they do it for you, though, you can buy a pair at Bergdorf Goodman. Tags: platform, rene caovilla, satin, silver sole, slingbacks

Oh yeah, the price. Well, these ARE £320, which is cheaper than some designer shoes, sure, but still much more expensive than what you’d find on the high street. If it’s within your budget, though, you’ll find these at Net-a-Porter. Thursday, November 19th, 2009Dsquared2 suede shoes with gold snakeskin straps

Carvela ‘Anisha’ platform slingbacks with yellow sole, £120 Monday, July 6th, 2009Nautical topsider stilettos from Charlotte RusseWhile I was on vacation, I found myself almost being led into temptation by these Charlotte Russe platforms:
They don’t seem to have them on the website, but they were only about $30, were available in red, blue and black, and had both stripes AND bows on them. (And bits of tissue paper in this case but that’s because they were fresh out of the box and I was too lazy to remove it. Paper not included, needless to say). BUT they were… well, they were just a little bit ridiculous, with a platform and heel that was far higher than it looks in this picture, and I didn’t think I’d get much use out of them, so I did something I hardly ever do, and put them back. (Then I went and bought Louboutins, so I guess my powers of resistance aren’t that great…) While I was searching for them on the Charlotte Russe website, so I could show you something better than a blurry phone picture, though, I came across these, which I just KNOW would’ve been coming home with me if they’d had them in-store:
So cute. So cheap. ($26.99) So also-available-in-black. (Did some law come out in the past two weeks about all shoes being available in red, blue and black, by the way?) And, of course, so much more wearable than the huge platforms. Charlotte Russe don’t ship to the UK, so these will never be mine, but if you’d like to make them yours, you can buy them here. Thursday, May 7th, 2009Casadei suede slingbacks with horn heel
Somewhere between a wedge and a stiletto, these Casadei horn heel shoes didn’t appeal to me at first, but the more I look at them, the more I like them. The pink suede uppers, naturally, are right up my street, and while I didn’t like the heel at first glance, I think it offsets the girlieness of the uppers rather nicely, and it’s also very usual. I’m still not totally convinced, but they’re definitely growing on me. If they’ve grown enough on you that you want to buy them, they’re £479, and you can get them here. What do you think of them? Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Shoeperwoman’s Shoes: A nautical (and windy) SundayI was going to wear my Office peep toes with this outfit, but I thought it might be a bit of a nautical overload (I’m obsessed with nautical at the moment. I can’t seem to help myself.) with the stripey blazer and sailboat necklace, so I changed my mind at the last minute and went for these tan leather slingbacks, which were a bargain buy from New Look over a year ago. So tell me: what shoes are you wearing today, and what are you wearing with them?

Bright red peep toe slingbacks by Miu Miu. Seriously, what’s not to love?
I tend to associate Dsquared2 with some of the more “out there” styles of footwear, but these black and gold beauties: well, they’re just absolutely gorgeous, and very elegant into the bargain. I love the black and gold mix, the slight vintage feel, and the slender, gold heel. These are glamorous and sophisticated, but not too over the top. Amazingly, they’re also on sale, down to £185 at Yoox, although sadly only available now in UK sizes 4 and 6. I’m going to pretend I didn’t notice that size 4 just happens to be MY size…
I can’t seem to visit the Kurt Geiger website without finding something to drool over. Today it was these Carvela slingbacks, which are mire interesting than they look at first glance, thanks to the usual, mirror-effect heels. Ordinarily, this particular shade of bright yellow would be a guaranteed turn-off for me, but in this case it totally makes the shoe, and I think I might just love it. I particulalry luke the way the yellow in the heel is picked up at the front of the peep-toe: a Louboutn-esque touch, which helps make an ordinary black slingback a little more special.
