First pastel of the season

Posted in Shoes by

 

Well, it looks like I won’t be able to run away from the pretty pastels – not that I don’t love them, but they were super in around 2001, and I had so many that I didn’t think I would bring myself to ever wearing it again. Plus, they are really unforgiving colours, revealing every body imperfection!!!

However, with the imminent pastels overload for spring, I have already given in and purchased an item I fell completely in love with (damn you newsletters!) – the stunning Esme shoes from Kurt Geiger. In one had, you have the delicate pastels, but on the other you have the spikes, which really give them an edge.

Now, you may remember I fell in love with a glittery KG not too long ago, but this one was stronger than me, when I slipped my foot in, I knew I had to bring them home. So I used the Elle KG voucher to take £25 off my guilty conscience and voilá!

Don’t you just love them? What about you? Have you bought any pastels yet or you are not succumbing the the paler palette this season?


Latest shoe crush

Posted in Shoes by

I know, *another* shoe crush… but I cannot help myself, had to register it here, as I’ve been wanting these Kurt Geiger Enautre shoes in gold for more than ten days – was secretly expecting to forget all about them, but it hasn’t happened.

They are glittery, they are high, they are hot. I am not sure why, but I have been obsessing about glittery shoes since I realised I have none in my collection! Sacrilege! I particularly like this one because the glitter on it is very fine,  and almost imperceptibly, multicoloured, although it has a gold overall colour.

While I keep thinking about it, I am still debating whether to buy or not. The price is not too bad, at £130, but after spending a lot on the latest Shoe Fund pair recently, I can’t quite justify… plus, it is time to buy practical winter footwear, as the colder weather is rapidly taking over (I have my eyes on lovely knee-high tan flat (ish) boots from River Island). A few other brands, like Topshop, have glittery high heels for half the price… but these KG ones are amazing, and like no other.

What to do?!

A feast of very exotic shoes

Posted in Shoes by

Oh, Popeye!

I recently came across the Virtual Shoe Museum website, after receiving an email with lots of shoes from the designer Kobi Levi.

Showcasing material about art and design of shoes, the site has footwear craft and creativity abundantly splashed around.

With designs ranging from “different” to “completely insane”, the site contains heaps of information on designers, description of most concepts, and simply TONS of shoes (fear not, to wade through the vast amount of items, you can narrow your search by colour material, style and plenty more) and  I have to say, the photos are the best part of it, with many angles shown for many of the fantastic shoes. Well worth spending some time browsing through.

Most of shoes displayed are real works of art,  so push wearability, comfort and common sense aside, this is a true feast for the eyes of a shoe lover like myself.

Here are the Kobi Levi’s adorable pictures I received:

Lara Bohinc shoe crush

Lara Bohinc's Constructivist Manifesto StilettoOooh, I’ve developed a new shoe crush – and I am not at all surprised it is over one of Lara Bohinc’s pairs – hers was also my favourite from the Elle Accessories Report.

The amazing “Constructivist Manifest Stiletto”  in cappuccino python and brown is so amazing and indeed as described on their site: a contemporary take on the timeless stiletto. I love the  whole shoe architecture, they are beautifully structured from heels to upper. The gold platforms and robust heels are complemented by the texture, pattern and colour – although the python black is just as desirable.

Lara Bohinc’s site is packed with gorgeous, exquisite yet wearable designs, well worth checking – I dare you not to covet!

I really need to start making larger deposits into my shoe fund, as my appetite for  these beauties is only growing…
