Category Archives: WedgesPierre Hardy for Gap bow wedges now on sale
I was a little underwhelmed by these shoes when they were first released, but they’re one of those styles that’s completely transformed as soon as you wear it, and having seen photos of lots of different people wearing these now, my opinion has done a complete 360, and now I love them: which is why I was so pleased to see that they’re currently on sale for $79.99 from the original $110, and less pleased to see that they’re no longer available in my size. Boo! If you happen to wear one of the sizes that are still available, these wedges are the perfect combination of simple and extravagant, with the nude uppers having a leg-elongating effect (assuming they’re the same kind of “nude” as you are, that is) you don’t normally tend to associate with wedges, and the scarf that ties around the ankle adding a quirky, “look-at-me” touch. Click here to buy them from Gap, who are AT LAST offering international shipping from their website. And about time, too! Most wanted from our sponsorsGiuseppe Zanotti red platform wedge ankle boots
Remember those Guiseppe Zanotti platform wedges I showed you earlier this month? Well, this is the ankle boot version. Now, I think these are all kinds of awesome, but I can see how they could be a little tricky to pull off: black would perhaps be an easier colour to wear these in, but then again, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun. As with the shoes, I would absolutely love to try these on, if only just to walk around in them for a few minutes. The $995 price tag tells me that’s not ever going to happen, but if it does nothing to put you off, you can buy these at Shopbop. Shoe Deja Vu: Lace-up wedge boots by Chloe and Matalan
Matalan are far from the only brand to have offered up their take on Chloe’s leather lace-up wedge boots from last season, but theirs are one of the cheapest versions I’ve found so far, at just £24. Of course, the Matalan boot is canvas, not leather, and they’ve used a different colour scheme in order to avoid looking too much like the originals, but the inspiration is still pretty evident. These boots aren’t a style I’d normally go for, and I’d never have paid £480 for them, but I must admit, I could have been tempted by the £24 version, which look like they could make a comfortable, casual alternative to heels for Autumn, IF they hadn’t been in a cream canvas, which would remain cream for, ooh, probably about five seconds at most, if I tried to wear them during a typical British Autumn. Or even summer. If you’d like to give them a try, however, they’re available here. Ruby Shoesday # 12: In which I wear polka dots, just for a change
(Christian Louboutin red patent Very Very wedges (also worn here , here and here); Topshop jeans, New Look top (also worn here); belt stolen borrowed from my mum.) Because my life is super-exciting, I wore this outfit to the dentist’s today. I’m pretty sure my dentist thinks I don’t actually own clothes that aren’t jeans (because obviously dentists have nothing better to do with their time than analyse what their patients are wearing): I’m having Invisalign treatment on lower teeth at the moment, so I’m there every couple of weeks and, being the clumsy and accident-prone person I am, I always worry that a skirt will ride up in the chair and I’ll inadvertently show the poor man more than just my molars, so jeans it is. And I guess if I’m going to drool (and trust me, I am), I’d may as well drool over a pair of jeans than something that has to be dry-cleaned… Friday Night Louboutin Fix: Christian Louboutin ‘Praia’ wedges
I thought we’d have something a little different for tonight’s Friday Fix: these ‘Praia’ wedges aren’t quite what we’re used to seeing in this slot, but they’re fabulous all the same, and there’s still a few weeks of summer left to wear them, if you’re lucky, so if you love them, head over here and cough up $535. Ah, there’s the rub! Follow by RSS | Follow on Twitter | Follow on Facebook | Follow on Bloglovin See by Chloe floral wedge sandals“Pretty” isn’t generally a word I tend to associate with wedges. They can be amazing, sure, and they can be cute, and fun, and all kinds of other adjectives, but they’re not often what I’d call “pretty”. These ones, however? These ones are pretty. Oh, so pretty, with that amazing carved wooden heel, featuring a floral detail that stretches all the way round to the platform sole. The uppers, meanwhile, have sensibly been kept simple: the white fabric is light and summery, but will go with everything, and doesn’t draw attention away from the main attraction on the heel. Best of all, they’re on sale: music to a shoe-lovers ear! These are by Chloe, and they’re £174 at Far Fetch. New in at The Outnet: Jimmy Choo orange Lawson wedge sandals
Just in, in one of the summer’s most popular colours, reduced to £249 from the original £416, and still available in every size… except mine. You have to act fast if you want to buy something from The Outnet, so go get ‘em girls… New Shoes! River Island red canvas bow platform wedges
My apologies for bringing yet another “oh, look, it’s a pair of wedges from River Island!” post, but I finally found the perfect replacement for my red canvas wedges (which, by the way, I wore on almost every day of my vacation, giving up on them only when even my dad started to point out that they were looking a little worse for wear. They remain my most-commented-on shoes, though, so I’m still going to see if they can be repaired. I will not give up!) so I guess it was a good job Monday was pay day, hmm? (Yes, I know I said the Louboutins were the replacement wedges, but as versatile as they are, they’re not exactly the kind of shoes you’d walk for miles in and take to the beach…) As far as I’m concerned, these shoes are perfect for summer in every single way, and although the platform is significantly higher than the ones they’ll be replacing, they’re still super-comfortable - much more so than flats, in fact . And thus ends my ”red canvas wedge” search – at least until these ones wear out, too! If you want to join me, they’re £39.99, and you can grab a pair here.
