FNSA - Alexander McQueen Punk Skull baroque platform heels ON SALE



They might not be super cheap (sorry!) but they are better than half price and can now be yours for under £250.



These look gorgeous in the jewel brights, but this aubergine suede might just be my favourite of the lot!

TFL - Christian Louboutin Dufoura multicolour / silver sandals



Dofoura is a beautiful ankle cuff platform sandal, and for this week's The Friday Luxe I thought you might like to see the slightly 'out there' multicoloured version. Not perhaps quite as wearable as the same style in a single colour but they still leave me totally drooling at that signature red platform sole and heel. WOW!



Yes they are a little quirky but with a tan (or a natural olive / darker skin tone) and a white shift dress they would look incredible.



It took me a little while to adjust but I do kind of rather love them. What do you think? I would love to know what you would wear them with!

BUY CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN DUFOURA IN MULTI

Love the style but just can't get over the colours? I feel your pain, so also why not take a look at them in clear and silver?



Love the flash of silver metallic python at the toe.

Betsey Johnson Bliiingg studded smoking slipper flats



These cute little glitzy rhinestone studded smoking slippers can be yours for just £55 - sorry for almost going a full week of posts without showing any flats (will do better next week I promise!).



They feature just about the prettiest sole of any shoes ever. So sweet!



The quilted lining also should make these super comfortable - as well as being very fashionable. I would say that if you do want to wear a style like this then spending a little more than the 'Primark' type of price point is probably worth the investment to ensure your comfort.

Christian Louboutin June slingback point toe sandal in black



These gorgeously sleek fine heel sandals are available at Barney's New York, and epitomise why women the world over covet the designs of Monsieur Louboutin. Theya re so simple and yet beautifully designed and crafted, and I adore the simple asymmetric straps,



These are a future classic. I love the fine point toe and the simplicity. Everything from the omission of a platform tot he lack of any adornments - not even a buckle - is just perfection.



Plus naturally they also sport the signature red leather sole. Simply exquisite.

YSL Tribtoo pumps in suede and patent hot pink



If I could conceive the perfect pair of hot pink heels then Yves Saint Laurent's tribtoo in this suede and patent mix would certainly make the top few. I love these shoes in any colour as the style is one of my favourites, but in mixed media pink they are a little bit special!

Valentino Couture pumps in gold metallic



To kick off Thursday let's herald the return of one of my favourite designs from Valentino, with a gorgeous metallic rose gold finish. Yes it's time for us to swoon once again at Couture!



For anyone who loves shoes with bows these are simply as good as it gets. Everything about the Couture heels is beautiful, and the subtle metallic of these makes them an updated twist on a nude heel - you could pair them with just about anything.



They can be yours, £490 at Saks.

Charlotte Olympia Croissant sandals in gold



At first look these look fairly tame don't they? Delicately handles, gorgeous sheen to the metallic upper and a fine use of mesh at the front. But look a little closer. For yes there is indeed a golden pastry on the vamp of these shoes!



I had only looked at these in thumbnails when trying to choose shoes for the weekly shortlist of posts, and so it was actually a surprise when I looked at the high resolution images only to find myself looking at an actual breakfast pastry on a shoe! I don't think it ruins them at all, they are still gorgeous but it probably means that I wouldn't wear them myself. Such a shame, they are otherwise a gorgeous shoe.

MCQ Alexander McQueen studded heel pumps in pistachio



I adore these beautiful stud heels, the hue is so fresh and yet another nod to remind us of the upcoming spring and summer fashions. I adore the colour of these shoes!



I would love to wear these with a navy suit - so chic! The studs on the heels are subtle enough for either work or daytime wear.

CJG at Topshop Midnight Glitter courts with chains in black



These are so pretty! If you liked the Giuseppe Zanotti Sharon pumps in black glitter and either can't make the price bracket or fancy a bit more of a rock edge, then these CJG at Topshop heels light be just what you have been waiting for. 



My inner rock chick is very much coveting the six chain heel embellishment on these. And because they are high street they are a lot more affordable than the more 'designer' styles - these can be yours for £130.



Oh, and they come in one of the adorable little CJG boxes too - delightful!
