Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Catenita glitter slingbacks

christian louboutin catenita pumps Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Catenita glitter slingbacks

Some people love glitter and other people hate it.

Going by this example, I think it’s fair to say that Christian Louboutin really, really loves it. And if you do too, a mirrored platform and a sky-scraper heel might just make you love them even more. Or they might make you feel like you’re wearing the shoe equivalent of a disco on your feet, who knows.

These are the Catenita glitter slingbacks, and they’re $895 from the Christian Louboutin official website.

Oscar de la Renta crystal-embellished snakeskin slingbacks

oscar de la renta snakeskin shoes Oscar de la Renta crystal embellished snakeskin slingbacksOscar de la Renta can always be relied upon to bring a little bit of bling to the party, no?

“The party”, of course, is where you’re most likely to be wearing these crystal embellished snakeskin slingbacks, but if you don’t have a handy occasion lined up that’s just screaming out for a touch of Oscar, don’t worry: just throw them on with a pair of jeans and call it an “outfit”. It is just a little bit of bling, after all…

Heroes or Villains: Kitten heels

red kitten heel shoes Heroes or Villains: Kitten heelsWhat does everyone think of kitten heels?

As you may know, the fashion world has decreed these to be back in a big way this season (or in a small, kitten-shaped way), and the proof of this can be found over at Topshop.com, where these red, kitten heel slingbacks are £55.

Personally, kitten heels are one of my least-favourite styles: I’m basically an all-or-nothing kinda girl, and if I’m not wearing skyscrapers, I’d probably rather wear flats than go for the ever-so-slightly pointless looking “kitten”. That’s just me, however: there’s no doubt that these heels are more comfortable than stilettos, and will offer better arch-support than flats, but would you wear them? This particular pair have a very retro look about them (you could call them dated if you wanted to be less tactful, but I suspect this is a deliberate move on Topshop’s part), and if I was going to wear them, I’d probably try them with black capri pants or an Audrey Hepburn style black dress.

What do you think of them: heroes or villains of the shoe world?

Kurt Geiger red ‘Emery’ slingbacks with cork heel

kurt geiger emery slingbacks Kurt Geiger red Emery slingbacks with cork heel

It’s hard to go wrong with a pair of red slingbacks, and these ‘Emery’ pumps from Kurt Geiger get a whole lot right. In addition to the statement colour, they also have a pair of cork heels, which contrast nicely with the uppers, and give them a summery touch, too.

These would be so easy to wear, adding a bit of red shoe flair to any outfit: they’re £100 at Kurt Geiger.

Nicholas Kirkwood blue suede slingback sandals

nicholas kirkwood blue shoes Nicholas Kirkwood blue suede slingback sandals

For me, these shoes represent Nicholas Kirkwood at his typical best. The trademark platform is present and correct, and not only is it attached to a glorious blue suede upper (isn’t that colour fantastic?), it also has a Mary Jane strap, complete with cute little button. The shape of these is just so “Kirkwood”, and I’m sure the designer’s fans will love them just as much as I do. If you’re one of those fans, these are £475 at Browns.

Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin leopard print slingbacks

Christian Louboutin leopard print slingbacks

I know animal print isn’t for everyone. I, however, firmly believe that if you’re going to wear it AT ALL, shoes are the place to wear it: and just to prove it, I have no less than three pairs of leopard print shoes in my closet right now. None of them are slingbacks, however, which is why I find myself staring at these Christian Louboutin leopard print peep toes on this Friday afternoon. This is a particularly bold print, so it’s probably best reserved for true leopard lovers. I particularly like the red platform on these – I always think red looks particularly good against animal print, and M. Louboutin clearly agrees, giving these red platforms and heels to go with the red soles.

They’re $795 at Neiman Marcus.

Rupert Sanderson ‘Plato’ light blue python leather open-toe slingback

rupert sanderson plato Rupert Sanderson Plato light blue python leather open toe slingbackSnakeskin, studs, a cut-out slingback heel, a platform… there are so many interesting details on this shoe that it’s hard to know where to start, but actually, I think the colour is the best part of all. That glorious sky blue reminds me of sunny days and fluffy clouds (it also reminds me of the fairy dress I had as a child, but let’s not even go there…), while the snake print uppers add an great texture. Although there are lots of things to catch the eye, however, the various elements all work together perfectly, and as far as I can tell, the only downside is the price: these are £734 at Far Fetch.

Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Alta Spritney slingbacks in cobalt blue

christian louboutin alta spritney Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin Alta Spritney slingbacks in cobalt blue

Although these shoes are also available in black, I’ve decided to show you them in this cobalt blue colour, because it’s bright, bold and absolutely beautiful.

The kind of blue suede shoes that would make you really, really angry if someone were to step on them, these take that classic Louboutin slingback shape, and add a gold thong detail to the front – one of those simple little touches that Louboutin uses to such great effect.

These are $895 at Barneys, as are the other two colours mentioned.
