Shoes are loved here in any finish: box leather, patent, snake, cow, goat, croc… but there is something indulgent about metallics that just keeps ticking the right boxes for me.
Luckily this season, a metallic pair is a great update to any outfit. Paris SS16 catwalks cemented the trend for this season and now it’s high time to shine, from our feet up.
Here are my picks:
Silver and fun, with its winkey eye, it’s ASOS Posey. I love classic court shoes, but when they come with a twist… oooh…. How pretty is this?

On trend, tie-up, ASOS Lordship, in pretty rose gold. So delicate! 
Topshop Juliette retro pumps with block heels are also very on trend. A staple!

I can’t even tell how much Topshop Coconut tickles my fancy! Slingback, squarish rounded toes and a very warm gold. And oh yeah, this season’s sweetheart, he block heel in a super comfy height!

ASOS moral brogues are fun in blue and made for walking.

Dune gives the classic court Azzra that metallic twist: can’t decide between gold, silver or rose gold? No problems, you can have it all!

All stars, no stripes. It’s the super quirky bootie from ASOS, Radio

Pewter in this strappy, feminine and lovely Office number, Anchor.

Nine West Tarragon is another classic shape in a muted gold, a discreet way of adding some shine to a going out number.

Pretty caged sandals with a very manageable heel: ASOS Skyline.

For trainers lovers, a very affordable number from H&M.

Kurt Geiger Dolly’s comes with pretty ankle straps, block heels and a croc finish.

Miss KG Audrina is a flat dream Mary Jane with pointy toes.

These Next slingbacks are lovely and super in for spring in rose gold.

Devious, these flatform brogues from Office ticks many boxes for me. Love the metallic and cork contrast.

Another classic retro with block heels: Mia, from Office.

Boyish with a block heel, Topshop’s Jean adds metallic to an outfit in more restrained way.

And trust me, there are many more out there, waiting to be snapped. And let me tell you a secret: loads on sale!
What’s your favourite?

Oh, this year I went a bit crazy on the style front. I bought a few dream bags and shoes and also tried a few different things.
Stepping out of the black Louboutin world, I went for nude and won’t look back! The Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100 in nude patent is a wardrobe staple.
I always wanted some exotic leather shoes and when I saw the Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies Mika Python, I just knew it had to be them; I’ve always had a think for snake skin… Although rather out there, they are quite neutral in a muted gold. Love.
Flats are a bit of a downer for me, usually more a necessity rather than taste, but these super quirky Office Retreat boy-ish brogues are just too cool for school in silver leather, cow’s hair and pointy toes.
After much deliberation, I decided to invest in a Chanel handbag. I went for the classic shape, in a smaller size, with some seasonal quirks. Could not be happier with my choice!
The first time I saw a Lulu Guinness Lips clutch I knew I had to have it. And I chose the black one, which is the perfect clutch.

Quirky. I learnt to
The House of CB cut out pencil dress, ideal for clubbing or sophisticated night out. Sexy, but not slutty. At least for me.
For a red carpet vibe, the House of CB plunge evening dress. Plunging neckline, thigh high slit, tons of glamour. O be worn carefully. I was skilfully taped and nipple daisy-ed on this one.
For a family party, this

Of course, my Sunday London Fashion Week outfit. Comfy and quirky, it had it all.
Another tough choice… I love this pinafore dress and bunny shirt, just too cute, and still dressy. Worn with courts in the office.
This Matalan suit is great too. A suit, but not too serious and stiff.
I started this outfit with the shoes. There. I said it. I fell in love with these lovely boy-ish brogues in silver leather and cow’s hair (yes, how amazing is that?) from Office and had to style it.
The fabric is thicker and slightly textured; the trousers are super wearable. Although the sleeves are shorter than 3/4, it looks great under a little jacket! Also, I love the little buttoned up details on the back and the small roll neck.
Bag wise, as I went for another little bit of quirk, I opted for my gorgeous Lulu Guinness Lips clutch, in black. I’ve wanted a LG lips clutch for forever, so I am glad I got one to call my own!
For the colder days, a fur coat, which is another obsession of mine. This one is short, from H&M, a discreet black ombré, with purple-burgundy “roots”.
So everyone talks about how painful heels are. Well, some might be a little bit – and there is a trade off as heels are just, well, awesome.
