Here’s another pair of shoes Zara have been trying to tempt me with lately. These are part of the current collection, which means they’ve been right there to try on in every store I’ve visited this month, and I actually think they’re prettier in real life than they are in these photos. Not that they aren’t pretty in the photos, too, mind you:
That’s one blinged-up peep toe right there.
I’d normally find this much embellishment on the toe of a shoe way too much, but it somehow works on this one. I must admit, though, it’s really the teal suede that makes these a winner for me.
What do you think of them? They’re £69.99, and you can click here to buy a pair.
I’m frequently bemoaning the fact that every time I find shoes I love in a bright colour, they always seem to be suede (which I love, but which isn’t always the most practical of fabrics), so when found these ones at River Island, I jumped on them. I mean, not literally, obviously. That would be shoe abuse. But I did pounce on them in a strictly figurative, internet-only kinda way, and now here they are, for you to pounce on, too.
I actually own these shoes in – what else – green suede, and really love them, because as well as being beautiful to look at, they’re also one of the more comfortable pairs of heels I own. These bright pink and turquoise versions (they’re also available in black) are a web exclusive, and are £59.99. Click here to go get ‘em!
Dune have been making some really lovely shoes this summer – in fact, I’m almost afraid to look at their website because every time I do, I seem to find something else to add to my wish list.
The latest pair of shoes to catch my attention are these ‘Daisy’ slingbacks, which combine a white canvas upper with a pink suede sole and trim, and a gorgeous, multicoloured daisy, which gives the shoes their name. When I look at these I instantly think they’d be perfect for a day at the races, for some reason. I don’t have any such days planned, however, but, well, I’m sure I could work something out.
It’s hard to go wrong with a pair of simple red slingbacks, and while these ones don’t quite have the rampant sex appeal of some of Christian Louboutin’s shoes they combine a fabulous colour with a wearable shape, and that’s enough for me to love them.
I’m apparently not the only one to love them, because these are currently sold out on the Louboutin website, but look out for them at the regular stockists, and click here to see some more images.
There’s something about a bright red stiletto that’s guaranteed to pull me in every time. Take these ones from Zara, for instance (and trust me, I wish I could take them…): even although the very last thing I need right now is another pair of red shoes, as soon as I laid eyes on these, I wanted them. The perfect colour, the perfect shape, and – unusually – the perfect price, too, at just £29.99.
Let’s just say it’s a good job these are sold out in my size.
If they’re still available in yours, click here, buy them, and think of me when you wear them, will you?
Because of all the recent bank holidays, it’s been a while since our last Friday Night Louboutin fix. I’m re-starting the tradition this week, however, with the Exclu 100 lace and satin slingbacks, which are £495 at Net-a-Porter. The delicate lace uppers and satin heel and platform here are topped with a cute little bow:
The perfect thing to glance down at every so often while you’re quaffing champagne somewhere fabulous. Well, that’s how I like to imagine wearing them, anyway…
I told myself I’d try to go easy on the ol’ glitter-covered shoes for a few days at least, but it would appear that glitter is a hard habit to break, and so it is that I find myself drooling over these ‘Charm’ slingbacks, by Kate Spade.
I think these are a particularly pretty example of the glitter look, and they make me wish I had a more glamorous life, and actually had a need for them. Then again, I’ve always been a firm believer in the idea that even the most OTT shoe can be dressed down with a pair of jeans, so there is still hope. There’s just not $325, unfortunately, which means I’m not going to be able to put my theory to the test in this particular case.
