KORS BY MICHAEL KORS Beige Patent Leather Wedge Pumps

Somehow (and really, don't even get me started on my surprise at this) these stunning Michael Kors patent cork wedges made it to the Outnet. They were £170 originally and you can now pick them up for a much more purse-friendly £77. It might have something to do with the fact that they fit slightly large for their marked sizing so if you do buy them then get a half size down and you will be fine. They have a real leather upper and a four inch wedge which looks both wearable and comfortable too. I really really am tempted to buy myself a pair.



Here's how I'd wear them...

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Beige Lace Builtin Lapel Jacket	GIVENCHY Black Contrast Print Vest
GOLDSIGN Blue His Crop Jean	TOD'S Beige New Dstyling Zip Tote

LOEFFLER RANDALL Stella Bow Flats in Black and White

These are my favourite of the pointy flats so far, I think. They are not overdone and still manage to look petite and delicate. Also love the studded bow. They were just shy of £200 but are on sale ans can now be yours for £135 if you wish to add them to your shoe collection.


Where do you stand on pointed toe flats? Do you like them or do you prefer more conventionally styled ballerinas? I really can't make up my mind. I like the concept of them but for the most part I still think they are not a style I'd feel very comfortable actually wearing.

This bow is, however, doing a sterling job at trying to tempt me anyway!

They also come in white too, which are really a little bit more Spring/Summer - and actually I think I might just prefer the white version:

OSCAR DE LA RENTA Black Olga Suede and Patent Leather Wedge Sandals

If you are on the lookout for a very special holiday / SS13 wedge then these from Oscar de la Renta are about as good as it gets. Plus they are down from a hefty £635 to £286 - so are now better than half of their original retail price. Still an investment of course, but they are a beautiful pair of shoes with incomparable style.


Wear them for a SS13 date night with these:

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Pink Velvet Skull Smoking Slippers

There are not too many things in live you can really rely on. My love for pink, McQueen and skulls however is a no-brainer. So when something comes along that combines all three of these? It's love. BIG STYLE.

The other thing about them is that they look so very comfy too. I've taken up running recently which when I take into account long standing knee trouble, is also rather hard on my right ankle from time to time. Even the most fabulous of shoe lovers need to have flats in their shoe collection, and these are so special they put even some of my heels to shame. I have sneaking suspicion that if they were mine I'd probably wear them just about everywhere.

NINE WEST Black Breezin Strappy Sandals

You may recall that I have recently had something of an epiphany regarding black sandals. I know that probably sounds a tad... overdramatic, but really you cannot imagine the deep seated disdain I used to hold for black sandals. For what felt like forever. If you'd like to read about the sandals that changed my mind and the unlikely celebrity source then read all about it right here.



So, as the embargo on black sandals has been well and truly lifted, I must admit i was rather taken with these on-sale beauties from Nine West over at Kurt Geiger. Still not quite pocket change priced at £75, they are however really really lovely and would see you for several summers to come. The combination of the black high shine leather against the flash of metallic and the cork platform is just delicious.

Wear with this for maximum date night impact:

DUNE Pink Diane Bow Ballerina Pumps

These pretty iridescent pink ballerinas are from Dune and you can pick them up discounted to £40 (from £55) over at ASOS right now. They have a genuine leather upper which makes them really good value for a classic shoes, but really it's the slightly textured metallic finish that makes them stand out for me. Wear them with jeans and other classic pieces for an easy daytime outfit for any day of the week.



I love the ribbon style bow rather than a cord tie. I think if I was going for a funky non formal evening outfit to create with these pretty pumps, then I'd like to wear them with these:

ROBERTO CAVALLI One Button Silk Blazer in Yellow pink multi	BALMAIN Black Cropped Underwired Leather Bustier
G-STAR RAW Purple Super Skinny Twill Bright Jeans	V73 Transparent Tote Bag

Would you have the courage to wear this outfit? I think it'd definitely turn some heads!

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Black Simple Botta Knee High Boots

This is one of those Shoeniverse posts whereby it's shall we say... a little self indulgent. Mindlessly so you might even say. I've just added these beautiful knee high boots to my Lyst. They are not in season as it were, but knee high boots never EVER go out of style and will forever remain one of the sexiest pieces of footwear any woman can wear. So I fell in instant 'love at first sight' with these simple classics and wanted to show them off.

They run true to size with a 14 1/2" calf and would look exquisite with almost anything. You can buy them now for the upcoming season from Saks Fifth Avenue, and know that I am forever jealous if you go ahead and make them yours.

Beautiful.

For a quirky take on knee boots style how about pairing them with this little number?

JIMMY CHOO Pink Ivette Patent Leather Neon Sandals

Morning and welcome to Monday on Shoeniverse! I want to kick off the week with these beautiful neon pink Ivette sandals from the maestro Jimmy Choo. Jimmy Choo heeled sandal designs are almost red carpet ready and picture perfect, and Ivette is no exception. Plus the colour is to-die-for!

Do you fancy sassing up your nighttime style with a flash of neon pink attitude?


My favourite thing about these sandals is how immaculately they manage to handle being dressed down as well. See below for the evidence! I am seriously falling for them. Any heel that has the versatility of looking as good with a designer frock as jeans and a blazer is a keeper in my book! Plus when they come in 'highlighter' pink too?



Thank you Jimmy Choo!
