Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Weird and possibly wonderful wedges from Topshop
to get the full effect. Don’t forget to tell me what you think of them all! Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Pink cutout wedges by Moschino Cheap & Chic
Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I could swear these shoes are sticking their tongues out at me. They are, aren’t they! The cheek of it! Strange “tongue” detail aside, these are great fun, although I’m finding it easier to picture them on Barbie than on actual human beings. The cut-out at the back of the heel is obviously the stand-out detail here, but I actually think the bright pink colour is what really makes them stand out. If you want to be a Barbie girl, these are 587 from Moschino. Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Velvet Angels blue suede and patent ‘Bottomline’ thong wedges
These shoes had me until the word “thong” was mentioned. See, I love my flip-flops as much as the next woman, but for some reason, thongs on any OTHER kind of shoe don’t really do it for me. This is a shame, because I like almost everything else about these, but especially the button closure at the ankle, and the way the wedge heel masquerades as an ordinary high heel, giving you the comfort of one but the look of the other. I also like the soothing blue colours, but if you don’t, they’re also available in plain black. Get them at Bluefly, where they’re $185.40.

Thursday, June 4th, 2009Heroes or Villains? Topshop’s ‘Wanda’ raised platform wedges
Can you believe these are from Topshop? Well, actually, I kind of can, purely because Topshop are becoming well-known for their weird and often wonderful shoes, but if I hadn’t known where these ones were from, I’d easily have believed they were a designer shoe. But what do you think of them? They look a little bit like two different shoes stuck together tome: a wooden-soled wedge sitting on top of a platform heel. And although I like the mixed metallics, I’m just not sure how I feel about the rest. So tell me: are these shoe heroes or villains? You’ll find a poll under the jump, but feel free to leave a comment explaining your decision! (Oh: the shoes are £85 and you can buy them here.) Friday, May 22nd, 2009Shoeperwoman’s Shoes: Red wedges and Sailor dress
Well, as predicted (by me), I went back to Matalan and bought the red canvas wedges I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. And which turned out to be £12, not the £8 I originally thought they were. Ah, well. I actually bought these as a pair of cheap shoes I can wear on holiday and not care if they get ruined, but then I also took delivery of this little Criminal Damage Sailor dress, so I thought I may as well just nautical it up, because, no, I’m still not over that, apparently. Anyway, the shoes are super-comfortable: I love wedges for holidays because they give me a bit of height but are almost as easy to walk in as flats. These ones come up really small, so I had to go down a size: I’m normally a UK 4, but had to buy the size 3, which fit perfectly. And given that they were only £12, and the dress only £10, I have an outfit for £22: bargain! Tags: dress, matalan, nautical, outfits, red, slingback, Wedges

Terry de Havilland’s famous wedges are legendary in the shoe world. They come in various different styles and colours, but I’m showing you the ‘Suzi’ platforms in pewter, purely because they’re one of the more outrageous styles. The combination of the metallic uppers and bubble heels makes these look like something right out of a sci-fi movie, but the detailing on the shoes is also exquisite, as you’ll see if you take a look at them in close-up over at My-Wardrobe, who’re selling them for £488. Not exactly cheap, but then, with such an iconic shoe, you wouldn’t really expect them to be. Look under the jump for the back view!

Posted in Designer Shoes, Wedges | 4 Comments » Thursday, April 30th, 2009The Melina wedge knee boot by Melody Ehsani
A couple of days ago I said that every superhero needs a good pair of boots. Well, I think I just found mine. These are by Melody Ehsani, and they just scream “superhero”. The gold trim is the detail that does it, I think, but the wedge heel, plus the pointed shape of the leg, also gives these a bit of a futuristic/comic book look that really appeals to be (naturally). That wedge should also mean that although the heel is high, it should be relatively easy to walk on – always a good thing, especially in boots that you’re probably going to be wearing in the slippery winter months. (Why do I always find boots I love during summer? Gah.) Although they initially looked black on my monitor, these are actually a deep purple. Which I think makes them even better.

Shoe Challenge: Pairs of shoes: 76 Worn so far: 11  |
I will be honest, I don’t really know where to start with these shoes. There’s something about them I like, but there’s also something about them I DON’T like: possibly that coral colour, which isn’t a favourite of mine. They did jump out of the page at me, though, and that’s why I’m showing you them now, although I’m going to leave it up to you to pass any further judgement on them. They’re £760 at
