Category Archives: UK ShoesShoe Deja Vu: ASOS Vs Moschino bow-front black slingbacks
Which pair DO you prefer? If you’d take the ASOS shoe over its designer cousin, you need to know that it’s also available in nude and pink. Decisions, decisions… Most wanted from our sponsorsMagenta bow detail court shoes from Dorothy Perkins
I thought I’d finish this week the same way I started it: with a pair of bright pink (OK, magenta, then…) shoes with a bow on them somewhere. In this case, the bow is on the side rather than on the toe, and the colour is closer to purple than pink on my monitor, but hey, it’s Friday: cut me some slack here! These shoes are also available in black, but this would be my choice of colour if I was in the market for a pair. They’re £35 from Dorothy Perkins.

Timeless strappy bow sandals at Dorothy Perkins
Dorothy Perkins have just started stocking some styles by shoe brand ‘Timeless’, so the first thing to note about these shoes is that they’re ‘timeless’ by name, not necessarily by nature. As it happens, I don’t think these shoes are particularly timeless-by-nature. At first glance I was instantly seduced by the bow on the front, which is certainly cute enough, but underneath that I’m seeing something I think of as a “clubbing shoe” – especially in the metallic purple version, seen in the middle of this photo. Clubbing isn’t something I do a whole lot of these days, so shoes like this don’t hold a whole lot of appeal for me. If they appeal to you, though, they’re £55 and you can buy them here.

Gina ‘Clair’ platform hoodie pumps
I’m in two minds about these shoes. In the black and cream versions, I think the gathered toe makes the shoe look like it’s been wrapped up in some kind of protective dust-cover, which the owner hasn’t bothered to remove before wearing them. The red version, however… well, the red version I rather like, and I somehow think it works a little better. What do you think? These are £450 from Gina.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Block Heel Shoes
Yes, it’s another bow-front court shoe, but the bow in this case is just a little bit different. The actual shape of these shoes is a tad matronly for me (there’s something about a chunky heel and rounded toe that always makes me think of the Queen, although I doubt she’d wear shoes this high!), but I do love the colour mix, which is dressy, but not so much that you’d be forced to save them for special occasions. These are £250 from My-Wardrobe.

Peep toe bow platform shoes from River Island
You could tell just from the headline that I was going to like these shoes, couldn’t you? Well, you were right, I do. They come in four different colours, but for reasons I can’t even begin to explain, I’m going through a bit of a “pink” phase at the moment (this is strange to me, because I’ve never really been a “pink” girl), so these are the two that appeal most to me. My favourites are the pair on the right, which are just really fresh, and fun and spring-link, and not quite as “River Island Barbie” as the pair on the left, which also have the dreaded metal heel. I think I spy a stripey insole, too: that makes me happy. These are £59.99. Get them here.

Studded over-the-knee boots from River Island
Anyway, I can report that these boots are far more awesome in real life that they appear to be in this image: they have a fabulous slouchy, lived-in look which I really like, and they manage to be casual but stunning, which isn’t an easy thing to achieve. Of course, it may well have helped that their wearer was tall, gorgeous and looked like an off-duty model (she was wearing them with simple black leggings, long line top and cardigan), but hey they made ME take a second look, anyway. If you’d like to take another look too, they’re £119 from River Island.

Office red patent ‘bow time’ platform shoes
OK, I actually can’t BELIEVE I haven’t shown you these shoes already. I mean, look at them! They’ve been on the Office website for a while now in plain black leather, and I’ve noticed them a few times, but haven’t got round to writing about them. Now that I’ve seen the red patent versions, though, they’ve gone straight onto my wish list. Adorable. You can buy them at Office, where they’re £65, but do me a favour: leave some size 4s for me, eh?
