Perfect In Pink

Monday, May 5th, 2008

christian-louboutin-very-noeud-slingbacks.jpgEach season I wonder, can Christian Louboutin top the last shoe design and I am overwhelmed with admiration every time. Even better, we have gone back into the high heels and big platforms trend again which Louboutin outperforms any other shoes designer.

This season amongst some very beautiful shoes, I wish for these Christian Louboutin Very Noeud slingbacks. As well as being pink they are smooth and satin, have a 5.5 inch heel, have a beautiful bow attached and still adorn the signature red sole. Perfect for the summer season wear them with a gorgeous little black dress to really let them stand out.

Buy yourself a pair of these bright peep toed shoes now at Net A Porter online costing £410.


Givenchy ‘Sandal Boot’

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Givenchy Sandal BootI Love these sandal boots from Givenchy! The sandal boot is so hot right now, you would be a fool to miss out on such a great look!

Extremely versatile, this style of shoe can be worn in the summer and winter thanks to its part sandal, part boot shape! They also look great with skirts or trousers, and are a perfect way to create a more edgier look! I particularly love the oversize buckle on this pair of Givenchys sandal boot; the black leather and metal buckle give them a cool rock chick look and are bound to make a HUGE statement!

If you have fallen in love with these shoes like myself, best start saving as they cost a whopping £600! You can check out Stylefinder for more information on where to buy them from.


Statement Boots!

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Miu Miu Dragonfly BootSo we all know that butterflies and dragonflies are an inspiration for many designers this summer, however some designers may have taken their love for these beautiful creatures a little too far! Take for example this bizarrely unique pair of boots from Miu Miu with huge dragonflies on the front!

I personally think these boots are grotesque, however if you want to make a statement and love dragonflies, these boots maybe just what you have been looking for, but I sincerely hope not! If you were to wear these boots ensure that you wear something very plain with them to avoid looking like a clown!

The price of these boots is £2,155, to get a closer look and to find out where to purchase them from check out Stylefinder.


Hot Collaboration!

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Marios Shwab and PatulloWow have I got a collaboration for you! Hot British designer; Marios Shwab has recently joined forces with shoe guru Scorah Patullo to produce an eccentric and unique collection that is just too tempting, so if you have a shoe fetish I suggest you look away now!

Marios and Scorah Patullo have worked together to produce 8 new styles for spring/summer 08, heres what they have to say about the collection:

“Think the usual uber-sexy restrained burlesque but combined with typical Greek sandal styling.”

If you ask me this is a winning combination as the shoes are divine! Usually I wouldn’t even dream of wearing a pair of white shoes but this pair is an exception to the rules! I am absolutely in love with this stunning pair of sandals that have an interesting futuristic/sporty look! A prominent feature of this collection is the cut out heel; original but how strong are these heels?!!

Buy both pairs today from Scorah Pattullo online for £350 each!

Feeling Rosy

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

giuseppe-zanotti-satin-rose-sandals.jpgI am super excited by a new pair of sandals I came across when planning my summer shoe collection today. It’s this pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Satin Rose sandals. It may be because I have never seen anything like them before but I just cannot stop longing for them.

The silver leather flat thong sandal has a red and white satin rose attached to the top strap which is so feminine, chic and dare I say romantic. Also they are ideal for both day and night so what are you waiting for?

At £320 they are quite pricey for sandals but comfort and beauty doesn’t often come cheap. Get yourself a pair at Net A Porter online now.


Plan & Prep For Summer

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

hunter-wellington-boots.jpgI know it seems strange that planning for the summer would involve investing in some good Wellington boots but if you have ever been to Glastonbury or ever been travelling you will understand what I mean.

Each year some of my friends have either been away jungle trekking on their travelling expedition or festival frolicking at Glasto or V and they have all come back wishing they had invested in a pair of strong and stylish Wellington boots. So I have found some excellently cool Wellington boots by Hunter. Available in many different colours including green, pale pink, red and lime green they will assist your adventures this summer.

The Hunter Wellington boots are available at My Wardrobe online costing £50.


Stella’s Collosal Heels!

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Stella Mc Cartney S/S 08 FootwearI love this time of year when we get a taste of the new summer footwear as it starts to enter our favourite stores and hopefully into our summer wardrobes!

One collection of summer footwear I have looked at this week is Stella Mc Cartney’s, who has shown she isn’t afraid of a heel! Yes these sandals have the most colossal heel that would be a struggle for even a supermodel to walk in, but they of course look fabulous so who cares!

One of my favourite pairs from the collection is this beautiful pair of sandals; the intricate beading gives them a cool tribal look that always works well in the summer! The combination of vibrant colours is perfect for those hot sunny days we are all longing for! To check out the rest of Stella’s footwear range, check out her new website.


Magnificent in Miu Miu

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Miu Miu Metallic banana flatsStylish, cute and comfy ballet pumps will always be a ‘must have’ in the wardrobe. Miu Miu just happen to have to have some delightfully cute ones this season and I am in awe. The fabulous designer brand can do no wrong and with Kirsten Dunst on board with their advertising spreads the image given off is so feminine and chic.

Worn during the day or at night the flats are so versatile they would work with almost any outfit. The anthracite leather banana flats have a Swarovski crystal brooch on the front, an almond toe and a grosgrain trim.

Get yourself a pair of Miu Miu Metallic banana flats at Net A Porter costing a ‘well worth it’ £265.

Miu Miu Decorative HeelsFor those of you that love your heels you are going to relish in the new trend that is set to hit our highstreets throughout spring/summer 08! This new trend will bring heels into the spotlight as ornate and intricate detailing is set to embellish those towers we walk on!

Miu Miu is never one to shy away from new trends and they have successfully proved this with their new breathtaking collection of shoes that feature the most wanted decorative heel! Here are two examples from the Miu Miu collection to blow you away!

Trendy Flats!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Mesh flats by Stella Mc CartneyForget your heels! Give your feet a rest and turn to Stella Mc Cartneys uber trendy Blue mesh flats!

It is refreshing to see a pair of flats that are actually stylish, cool and best of all; not frumpy! The vivid blue colour is what immediately attracted me to these shoes as I must admit I have a bit of a blue fetish at the moment. However when I looked beyond the colour I noticed the patent trim that made me fall even more in love with them!

These shoes are great for casual wear and would really bring life to a pair of washed out denims! However net a porter have recommended breaking up a black outfit with them, which looks fab too! I guess the choice is yours! For £215 buy your Stella McCartney Mesh flats today from Net a porter.
