Delicious Shoes with Divine Heels

With shoes like these, how could anyone be a bag person? Diego Dolcini Lace Up Jewelled Heel Sandals - These would glam up a potato sack
Charlotte Olympia Metallic Ribbed Dolly Pumps - Kind of fun in an 80s way

Alexander Wang Hanne Triple Buckle Boot - My favourite


Bally Peep Toe Leather Strap Pump - Beautiful ornate heel detail

I love fine details in accessories since my 'look' is fairly classic. These heels would definitely add the pizazz I'm after to my blazer/tee/jeans combo.

All shoes available from Luisaviaroma

Shoe Copy

I first saw these Giuseppe Zanotti Ornamented sandals on Polyvore a while back and thought how gorgeous they were.

Quick Set - Favourite Coat At The Moment


The original heel below...
Last night I was browsing Tony Bianco and found this "Kodie" shoe. It's obvious chain stores take inspiration from the runway, but usually there is some creative difference. Personally I've always hated copies of handbags but I never really thought about shoes (well, I always knew I wouldn't buy shoes with red soles... that really is going too far) until I bought Sachi 'Blitz' heels which are inspired by the Jimmy Choo Glenys. Mine are patent purple though with no platform and I admit love them.
This on the other hand is absolutely identical. Colour, studs, heel everything... In my view I think they should've made some changes just to make it even slightly more original.
How do you feel about shoe copies?

Zu Bridal Boot

It took me a quite while to find these boots. I had my checklist - Flat, knee high, round toe, equestrian feel, biker feel, detailed but not too detailed and ideally tan. Not too picky at all! I finally found the Zu Bridal Boot - Not tan, but ticked all other boxes. The grey is surprisingly easy to match with other colours.
Please enjoy this home made photo, complete with pink polka dot flannel pyjamas. Yes, I'll admit, I was excited when they arrived in the post and just had to try them on.

April Tatler - A New Take on Socks and Sandals

The theme of this shoot was old fashioned English eccentricity and bringing the outdoors in. What really caught my eye though was the beautiful and fine socks worn with open toe platforms.
I've never been a fan of stockings and peep toe shoes (maybe i'm just not daring enough) but this in my opinion is a fresh take on the concept.

The paisley detail on the gold heels (Gucci) is my favourite combination. I think with the right socks and shoes, this look is a definite possibility.

Will you be trying this look out anytime soon?
