Perfect for laid back day’s when you want to kick back and enjoy the sunshine, I’m definitely going to be bagging a couple (at least).

The first add to basket click will be these beauts

Saturday Night Shoes – A lil Glitz n Glam!

As sad as I was to wave farewell to the über stylish shoe collection on ShoeDazzle, I was quickly consoled when once I took full advantage of their closing down sale. Bagging myself 3 pairs of gorgeous shoes for £30 instead of the £70 odd pounds each they should have been. Now, usually I would share such a find with everyone but I was too busy frantically adding to basket and rushing through the checkout procedure before anymore of my beloved selections ran out of stock. Not to worry, I’m sharing now

“Please Mind the Gap” – Transitional Platforms

It’s hard to know what to buy in this awkward in between phase. Do we buy wellies for the snow that promises come or sandals for spring which is just around the corner? You can’t win and as Sod’s law would have it, whatever weather you account for mother nature will always throw you a curve ball so buy what you like and layer as necessary! Based on this very motto I chose these chunky tan platforms from Republic, £35. I’m a fan of the concealed platform and the peak-a-boo cutaway style makes them a perfect pair of transitional heels to bridge the gap between winter and the forthcoming spring summer season. Not a full shoe yet not quite a sandal. Wear with socks or tights until brighter warmer days (finally) come.

NYE: What to Wear…

Let’s face it, New Years Eve is the one time of year when you can bling yourself up brighter than a Christmas tree and still look understated! So here are my options…

Black & Gold Panel Bodycon Dress £42 by Motel from Topshop

Gold Disc Pendant £6 from Rare

This show stopping gold and black panel dress by Motel. The sexy bodycon fit is always a hit but not always a good idea after the over indulgencies of Christmas! I’d team with a nice bold piece of jewellery such as this large disc pendant gem detail necklace from Rare.

As for my tootsies, I love these glittery cross over heels from Office. They have platform heel and come high on your ankle both resulting in comfort which is what you need if you’ll be shaking a leg up to midnight (and beyond!).

Gold Cross Over Glitter Shoes £60 from Office

Leopard Print Bow Dress £20 from Boohoo.com

Shock horror! Leopard print is on the shortlist I love this cute skater dress. It’s cute easy to wear but I’d toughen it up a little with my leather look jacket & a pair of stud shoe boots.

In an ideal world, where wanting something really badly would make them yours, said stud boots would be these zip detail peeptoes by Alexander McQueen (a mere £1155 if you must know)!

Peep toe Shoe Boot by Alexander McQueen £a lot!

40% Off Firetrap! I recommend these…

Republic have a great offer on at the moment: 40% off Firetrap but you have to be quick as it ends tonight! I spotted these zip detail heels when they first landed on the website but thought them a little pricey but now there’s no excuse. Available in classic black or a nice shade of mocha brown I think they’ll be a pair that get pulled out time and time again over the years.

To make the most of the offer check of Firetrap women’s collection or Firetrap men’s but above all pay attention to the shoes!

Dear Santa…Please Send Me These Hot Heels!

Sometimes you need to take matters into your own hands. I may need to purchase these lovely leopard print heels from boohoo.com myself rather than holding out for Santa (or hubby). Just £25! I get the feeling these super hot heels will fly out quickly and after saving money on other people’s gifts (see my xmas offers & discounts post) surely it’s only fair that I treat myself?

SHOEMINT: Sneak Peak at the Debut Collection

Shoe Envy: ALAÏA Shoes from Net-A-Porter

I’m not entirely sure why I subscribe to Net-A-Porter’s newsletter. Apparently it’s to torture myself with beautiful goodies that I can’t afford but it’s good to dream and I do enjoy adding designer picks to my imaginary shopping list. Most of all I love picking out items I’ve seen else where on the highstreet at a much more purse friendly price which are pretty much the same (if not better) than the high-end triple figure version. It gives me hope that style and fashion can be achieved by all, one stylish, well priced stiletto at a time.

That said, if I were to splurge on any fashion piece, shoes would  undoubtedly be my downfall! It was the above beauties  (virtually delivered to my inbox this morning courtesy of Net-A-Porter) which prompted this post. Ladies meet the Suede Cross Strap shoes by ALAÏA £830!

 

If you stumble upon anything similar at a less eye watering price, give me a shout! Finders fee considered

Me, in Flats…Really?

Miso Brogue Lace Up Shoe £39.99

Anyone who knows me knows that since the age of, ah say 12, I NEVER wear flat shoes. Nor trainers for that matter, though I do own the odd pair of heeled or wedged sneakers and pumps.

Why then am I so drawn to these cute and stylish little brogues? For the past week I’ve toyed with the idea of buying them but knowing my poor relationship with flats I don’t think I’ll wear them more than once (if that). Throw me a heeled pair and they’d be on my feet before the shoe attendant could finish asking what size I’d like to try but I just don’t know about these…

Put Your Best Foot Forward

These cream snake skin beauties landed on my colleague Topman Jones’ desk yesterday and following a brief *squeel* of excitement, I went all snappy happy and tried them out for size.

At only £29.99 (from Republic) surely I can be forgiven for treating myself to yes another pair of shoes even though I’m supposed to be saving for the “big day” (which is approaching at rapid speed)?

Bunny Feet – Confort at last!

This morning I set out on my journey to the opening of London Fashion Week with regard for sensible footwear or weather appropriate clothing (it’s LFW, style comes first no?). So off I set in my ten inch purple velvet heels (courtesy of Miss Selfrige), monochrome dress and cropped denim jacket, through the mountainous hills of Huddersfield from my house to the train station. At least I wore a scarf.

Style patrol, pavement pounding and 12 hours later, my feet were begging for the padded softness of my Primarni bunny-esq slippers.

That’s all.
