    Nelly ‘Jade’ pumps with asymmetric sides

    mint green shoes Nelly Jade pumps with asymmetric sides

    I know: I laid off the mint shoes for at least a couple of weeks, and then I bring you two pairs within a few hours of each other. Sorry. There was just no way I could resist showing you these particular ones, though: I mean, mint green, toe-cap, almost the same shape as my beloved Ones That Got Away from Zara? Yes, these were always destined to end up on Shoeperwoman.com.

    Actually, over the past few weeks I’ve seen this shape from multiple different brands: it seems I’m not the only one who really liked those shoes! Unfortunately, while there’s no shortage of the basic style, none of them have managed to get it quite right: the sides of the Zara shoes were much steeper than any of the newer versions, with the asymmetric side sloping all the way down to the sole. That’s what made those shoes so special, and is why none of the others have quite measured up.

    That said, these ones are definitely my favourites so far. They’re by Swedish brand Nelly, which you’ve probably been hearing a lot about recently if you follow fashion blogs: the brand has just launched a UK version of their website, and I’ve spent many a happy hour minute browsing through their wares, which have the advantage of being very reasonably priced. These shoes, for instance, are just £41.95, and are also available in black, white and tan, all of which come with metallic toe-caps in either silver or gold.

    Anyone shopped from Nelly? What did you think?

    D70 2450 Shoe Save #26/100: Rocket

    SHOES: Gold Rocket Dog pumps c/o SoleStruck (previously saved here)
    OUTFIT: H&M check pants (last seen here); gold Dorothy Perkins sweater; Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag & Gucci sunglasses (c/o Shopbop)
    SAVED: Saturday, April 29th, 2012

    I was hoping to save some more summery shoes this weekend, but unfortunately the weather (yes, I know, I talk a lot about the weather, but, well, I’m British. And it does have a pretty big impact on what I wear every day, unfortunately…) didn’t want to co-operate: it may look sunny in these photos, but it was pretty cold, and rather windy, so while my outfit is a little more ‘Autumn’ than ‘Spring’, at least it kept me warm!

    D70 2483 Shoe Save #26/100: Rocket

    These shoes are by Rocket Dog, and were a gift from SoleStruck, back in my Shoewawa days. I love the sparkly heels and heart-shaped cut-outs on the upper), and I wear them quite often, although the heels feel super-low to me now, compared to the kind of shoes I usually wear! In fact, I’m reminded of something Steph said in the forum yesterday about how times change: when I got these, I thought they were really high, and quite “out there”, but compared to a lot of the shoes I wear now, they’re really pretty tame!

    This outfit has a secret:

    D70 2453 Shoe Save #26/100: Rocket

    Yes, I’m wearing my sweater backwards. How very “fashion blogger” of me! Actually, it has nothing to do with being “edgy” or anything like that… I learned a long time ago that I can’t wear V-necks without flashing my bra all the time, and even with something underneath, they just don’t flatter my shape. For some reason, I kept on buying them, though, and then not wearing them, but when I was putting this outfit together, and bemoaning the fact that this sweater has a v-neck rather than my preferred boat-neck, I suddenly realised that it could, actually, have a boat neck – I’d just have to turn it around first! So I did. And I liked it much better that way, especially given that the back was hidden by my hair, anyway. I’ve always liked low-backed sweaters, though, so I’m pleased I found a way to make this one work: you can’t really see in the photos, but it’s made from a glittery, lurex fabric which picked up the glitter in the shoes in a way that satisfied my matchy-matchy little heart.

    This was the only shoe save I managed this weekend: we’re currently without a car, so were a little bit limited in what we could get up to. Hopefully things will be back to normal next week, though – and let’s hope we finally get some sunshine, so I can get back to saving all those peep toes and sandals!

    red polka dot t bars Casa Dolce polka dot t bar shoes with bows

    I have the Domestic Sluttery ladies to thank – or possibly to blame, depending on whether it’s me or Shoeperman you’re talking to  - for bringing these shoes to my attention last week: there was just no way I could possibly resist showing you these, could I? They’re pretty much begging me to buy them write about them, what with the combination of bows, polka dots, t-bars, and everything else that is wonderful. And available in red and navy, which are two of my very favourite shoe colours, too!

    There’s even more good news, though: as well as being treats for your feet, these will also be kind to your bank account, costing it a mere £24.99. These are available at to pre-order now at Casa Dolce: the website says new stock was expected on April 12th, so hopefully they should be with you very soon, should you decide to treat yourself.

    New shoes! Paris Hilton’s Valentino bow shoe dupes

    paris hilton bow shoe1 New shoes! Paris Hiltons Valentino bow shoe dupes

    Yes, I bought shoes by Paris Hilton. I know. And honestly, I don’t really know how to feel about this: on the one hand, I really dislike the copying of another design, but on the other hand, it IS a legal copy, and as I will probably never be able to afford the Valentino version, I found myself totally unable to resist them. In other words, my Shoeperpowers failed me. Twice.

    The black version of this shoe came first, and was actually tracked down by Shoepermum, who spotted them on sale in TK Maxx for just £17, and called to ask me if I wanted her to grab me a pair. The fact that my mother was able to call me and say, “I found the Paris Hilton bow shoes: you know, the ones that look like Valentinos…” says a lot about how much time she spends on this website. And I guess the fact that she bought a pair for herself, too, says a lot about where I get my taste from. But anyway!

    office mint patent court shoes Office mint patent Kourt shoes

    OK, I give you all fair warning here: I am absolutely obsessed with mint right now. Obsessed. And yes, I know I’m more or less always obsessed with green, in all of its various guises, but it would seem that the fashion world is aiding and abetting me with the “mint” thing, because I’ve been seeing products in this shade everywhere lately: in fact, I bought a mint coloured dress just this week, and I have my eye on some more minty fresh pieces too. I may need an intervention.

    Mint coloured shoes are also on my list, of course, and at the very top of that list is Office’s ‘Kourt’, which I have to point out is their deliberate spelling error, not mine. A standard shape and a beautiful colour make these almost irresistible to me, and I wouldn’t say no to the nude version either. Well, I rarely do, do I?

    Want to join me in a world of minty goodness? Click here to buy these from Office, where they’re £65.

    kenzo green floral sandals KENZO Allegra Nepeta green floral sandals

    Today I’m taking a mental leap forward to Spring by showing you these pretty floral sandals by Kenzo. We’re still a good few months away from the kind of weather that would make these wearable for me, more’s the pity, but that’s not going to stop me looking at them, and thinking about how and when I’d wear them: ideally on the terrace of some sun-drenched villa, with a glass of champagne in my hand. And a box of new shoes at my feet. Lots of them. Wait, I’m getting carried away here…

    These are the quintessential Spring shoes, with their fresh, flora uppers, and the fact that green just so happens to be one of my favourite colours is just a coincidence, I swear.

    Like them? They’re £229.50 and you can click here to buy them from Sarenza.

    SHOES: Giuseppe Zanotti grey wedges (c/o Shopbop)
    SAVED: Friday, December 23rd, 2011
    WITH: Skirt, ASOS; top, ancient!

    My last Shoe Save this side of Christmas, and these shoes probably require a bit of explanation, because as well as being rather different from my usual kind of style, they’re also rather different from my usual price-range, too! Luckily for me, I didn’t have to pay anything like full price for these: I had accrued a fair bit of store credit with Shopbop, who sponsor my sites, and I’d been admiring Giuseppe Zanotti’s crazy wedges for the best part of a year, so when these popped up, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try them.
