Tag Archives: studsBrian Atwood clear plastic Balleto studded peep toe sandals
And, just like that, yet another shoe designer jumps aboard the “let’s make shoes out of clear plastic” train. The designer in question is Brian Atwood, and as well as fashioning these Balleto sandals out of plastic he’s also added studs all over them (echoes of Christian Louboutin’s ‘Engin’ pumps, perhaps). I don’t really want to like these, but I must admit, I don’t hate them either: in fact, given all the rain we’ve been having here, and the fact that the studs, combined with the bubbles in the heel, look a little bit like raindrops sprinkled all over the shoes, these are actually looking fairly practical to me (insofar as a 6″ heel can ever be described as “practical”, that is). I also have a feeling they’ll look almost invisible on the foot, save for the studs, which could make for an interesting effect. What do you think of these? If you want to try them out, they cost a little more than most plastic shoes, at £1,430. Click here to buy them from Net-a-Porter. Most wanted from our sponsorsShoe Deja Vu: Dorothy Perkins’ version of Balmain’s studded bow court shoes
Remember those amazing Balmain court shoes I showed you last year? They’re now sold out. Which may just make you feel a little bit better about buying these blatant copies from Dorothy Perkins, who will charge you just £40 to Balmain’s £564. Let’s just say that I know where my money would go. What about yours, though?

Louise Goldin’s spiked court shoes now available at Topshop
Remember the Louise Goldin for Topshop shoes I showed you a few months ago? Well, they’re finally available in-store and online, and although the designs are a little less extreme than the prototypes, they’re still pretty amazing. The shoes you see above are all available on the Topshop website, and are retailing for £150 each. I know a lot of people have been desperately waiting for these to be released, so I wouldn’t expect they’ll be in stock for long: if you want a pair, better be quick! What do you think of them?

Naught Monkey yellow ‘Fiesta’ pumps
Like orange, yellow has been starting to pop up here and there in the shoe world and these citrus colours are going to be particularly welcome at the end of this long, hard winter. These Naughty Monkey sandals have a fair amount of studding on them, which I would imagine will make some of you cry “Not AGAIN?!” but I like ‘em: the studs add a little something to these shoes, and the cheeky hint of snake-print helps, too. They’re $79.95 from Nordstrom. Shoeper Shoe Challenge: Pair #1 – Christian Louboutin Mad Mary studded pumps
What: Christian Louboutin ‘Mad Mary’ studded pumps Did you think I’d forgotten all about my Shoeper Shoe Challenge? I promise I didn’t: I did actually get through a few different pairs of shoes last week, but the week was so busy I didn’t have time to photograph them, which, of course, means they don’t count! D’oh! Anyway! Here is the first installment of the challenge, and after all of the trouble I went to to get my Mad Mary pumps in the first place, I figured it was only right that they should be the first pair of shoes I “rescued” by wearing them! As luck would have it, an opportunity to do just that presented it in the form of a friend’s birthday drinks on Saturday night, so the Mad Marys were GO! I wore them with a purple dress from ASOS.com, and suspected I’d be the most overdressed person in the room, as usual, but as it turned out, I needn’t have worried, because people were wearing everything from jeans to sequined mini dresses! These shoes are lots of fun to wear, and, of all of my shoes, are the ones that seem to get most attention: they always get lots of comments, and I’ve bonded with many a fellow shoe-lover who’s come over and asked me about them, so I guess they’re a good conversation-starter too. So, one pair down, seventy pairs to go! How’s everyone else getting on with their challenge?

Kurt Geiger ‘Ella’ stud toe court shoes
Well, can they, readers? I’d probably be hard-ass about this and say “no”, because this whole look just isn’t working for me, but what about you? If you’d allow them into your life, they’re £220 at Kurt Geiger.

Studded platform court shoes from Dorothy Perkins
If you’re not so keen on the orange, though (and granted, it won’t be for everyone), these are also available in purple and black, and are a nice pair of plain pumps, with just that single line of studs along the sole to make them a bit more interesting. They’re £35 from Dorothy Perkins.

KG by Kurt Geiger knee-high ‘Vendetta’ boots with studs
I’m bored with boots. By the time January rolls around, I’m sick to death of winter, and ready to cast aside the warm clothes and knee high boots for something a little more summery. Actually, who am I kidding: by the time SEPTMBR rolls around I’m sick to death of winter, but sadly for me, there’s still a good few months of it left to get through, which means boots are still high on the agenda. If I MUST wear boots, then, I think I like the look of these ones by Kurt Geiger. They’re simple enough to wear every day, but with that little row of studs on the sole to bring them up to date and stop them being too plain. I’d still prefer a pair of sexy sandals, though… |
