Kurt Geiger Heels

Heels are my weakness. Show me a beautiful pair of heels and I go week. So imagine my knees when I saw these beauties.

Luscious. I love the mesh details and the bold print. The colours make it suitable for many items. They can bring some colour to a black dress or match it with a bold print. An amazing pair of statement shoes.

Are they comfortable to walk in? That is the million dollar question. The fabric is surprisingly stretchy and moulds to your feet. I have wide feet so that is always good for me. My problem was the balls of my feet. I am short and these heels are HIGH. So walking is an effort. I can’t walk for long in them. I feel like I am walking on my tip toes.  If you wear heels a lot and are used to them, they will be a cake walk. I just love the way they look. I am absolutely going to keep wearing them and hopefully my feet will get used to it. But Kurt Geiger being the good quality they are there is a soft padding in the lining so that helps.

When I bought them, the sales assitant said thay are selling fast and she was right. A lot of sizes have sold out online so get them while you can.

Dont you just love the Britton shape? Classic.  Sheer quality at £270 and they are worth every penny.

Love from Australia Sale!

Get winter ready with the comfiest shoes around. Everything is £50. Now I just have to decide what to get!

By Larin shoes - Customize your shoe

Now by now, you know I am a shoe addict so I am always on the lookout for my next pair of shoes. Ladies, I found them. By Larin is a Spanish brand, with a slight twist. The shoes have a unique feature as there is a magnetic button on the shoe meaning you can change the ornament on the front of the shoe to match your outfit and event. Perhaps you are at work and want to tone it down so you add a small ornament. For a night on the town, change the ornament to a sparkly number. So here are a few of heels from the current range.

Amazing heels from Lollipops

I recently came across a French label, Lollipops, who do the most amazing shoes and jewellery. I went to a store launch in Spitalfields, London and some items blew me away. Thank god I had no money in my account as I would have spent every last penny in that shop. Lollipops have bags, clothes, shoes, jewellery and more. The pieces are girly and with a quirky factor that is adorable. They have been around for 10 years so not quite sure how I missed them but I am so happy I have discovered them.

 How do you not love these heels, hmmm?

Stylistpick Popup Shop

I am a huge fan of Stylistpick so when they opened their popup shop, I was literally first in line. I popped down on the very first day it opened and bagged myself a gorgeous pair of heels from the Louise Roe collection. I had been eyeing it up since the new collection was announced so this was my chance to get my mitts on them.

Here's Louise doing a much better job...

Sarenza Heels

I believe shoes complete an outfit. The make it work and bring it all together. For some people, they start with a shoe and plan an outfit around them. Shopping for shoes for me is like being in a candy store. I love that feeling when you are dolled up wearing killer heels, you walk in to the room and you feel tall and confident. You look glamorous and that is the essence of this blog, feeling good about yourself. When I go shopping for heels, one of my favourite stops is Sarenza. Did you see my little preview of things to come? Smoking hot heels!

So I had a little look and chose my favourite pair. It was hard but I narrowed it down to this Iron Fist Gold Star Point heel. I think it is very glam heel and perfect for a night out so I created this look. I can even see paired with skinny jeans, skull tshirt and a leather jacket for rock chick look.

Dune SS12 - Shoes and Bags to love

For shoes, I can always find something in Dune. It is my goto place for flats, sparkly heels and all things in between. For SS12, they are hitting a few trends this season. Think rich, vibrant colours, tribal and animal prints (love!) and floral prints. Prints are going to be big this season, make them clash and make them loud. Here's a little taster...

Supertrash SS12

Over the past year, I have been amazed by the amount of brands I did not know. Foreign brands that are expanding into the UK and small homegrown brands that offer unique and interesting pieces are all exciting. I recently came across Supertrash who blew me away. It is an american-dutch brand with LA feel to it. If you get past the name, it is anything but trash. The SS12 season has lots of print and feminine, lovely dresses. It has quickly proved a favourite with celebs and models including Victoria's Secret model, Candice Swanepoel in a Supertrash dress and Iman in their jacket. Here is little taster of the SS12 collection.

Sarenza SS12 Preview

I recently came across a shoe website and fell in love. Okay so my shoe collection is a little ridiculous and getting more in the sales. I have no need for another pair of shoes in my life but that does not stop me, oh no! So to help me in my little shopping addiction is Sarenza. Over 400 brands of shoes and accessories are all here so think of it as ASOS for shoes. You will find exclusive brands at Sarenza and every style you can imagine. Seriously I can spend hours on this site. Here is a little taster with what is to come for SS12...

Firetrap

This bright number is from Firetrap and will be £85.Love the detail on the platform.

Christian Louboutin - Les 20 Ans

There is one word that makes me quiver, one shoe that makes me salivate. Louboutin. A few weeks ago it was announced all over the blogosphere that in honour of his 20 years of hard work, Christian Louboutin  is releasing Les 20 Ans, a 20th anniversary book. It is now on sale and to coincide, Christian Louboutin has releases videos of what went into making this book. It is behind the scenes at the photo shoots.

What I would have given to have a been a fly on the wall that day! The video includes Dita Von Teese, Kristin Scott Thomas, Mika and Gareth Thomas to name a few. There is a lot of skin on show. It is all about the shoes! Did you know Christian Louboutin collaborates with Dita and makes all her shoes for her shows? Lucky lucky lady! My love affair with CL continues!

Love these but nowehere near brave enough!

I have also had a peek at the new collection for SS12, unfortunately I could not take photos but I can tell you it is fabulous. Expect studs, spikes, jewels and lots of colour. There was a pair of shoes with long spikes on the toe area mixed with jewels. Fabulous!

On a complete random sidenote, do you have nickname for Louboutin shoes? Loobies? Christy Loobs? I always hear the funniest nicknames for the shoes. Tell me in the comments.

Coach Flagship Store opens in London

Today  was a good day. Today, I was invited to see the new Coach flagship store which recently opened up in New Bond Street, London. If ever there was any debate on if there was a God, it can now be put to rest. When I stepped through those doors, I died and went to heaven! Words simply do not the pieces justice and neither do the pictures quite frankly. So if you are on the lookout for a quality designer bag head to Coach.

Office Shoes AW11

What new from Office? Lots and lots of sequins, cool brogues, and studs. I am in love with these shoes...

The Aldo Sale!

I went to Aldo event a few weeks ago where they previewed their AW11 collection. It reminded me how innovative Aldo shoes are. So I felt inspired to see what they have in stores. They have a sale on now so here is what I bought.

I really wanted a new pair of wedges and saw these at  a press day and ever since I have been dreaming about them. So when I saw them in the sale, well, they had my name written all over it.

Why stop at one shoe, why not get a bag as well? It looks a little different in the picture on the website but I still like it.

What have you bought in the sales? Or maybe you are waiting for the new AW11 collections? Their new collection has lot of sequins and party shoes. Check out the Aldo sale yourself here.
