FNSA - RACHEL ZOE Brown Audrey Suede And Snakeskin Platform Ankle Boots



If this weeks TFL got you in the mood for serious heeled brown boots, but your budget doesn't extend to £110, then why not grab these on-sale beauties from Rachel Zoe. Originally retailing at £256, they are on sale at a purse-friendly £77 - but if you like them then be fast as they will not be around for long.

Wildly chic suede ankle boot has elastic side gores, genuine snakeskin print trim and a stacked platform.



I love them - grab them while you can!

TFL - GIVENCHY Brown 105mm Eelskin Boots



These are a little bit bizarre, granted, but they are also really very cool. I would love to own a pair of these, but this is highly unlikely due to the fact they retail at over £1000...

They look so good though!!!

SERGIO ROSSI White Neutral Callisto Sandals



These tri-tone Sergio Rossi gladiator sandals feature four white leather disc accents along the front, and I must admit I love them. I'm not yet entirely sure why I love them, I just know that I very much do!



Pretty special if you ask me. Wear with crop pants and a fitted top or twinset for effortless cool.

How to Style this amazing ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Red Multi Layer Silk Chiffon Dress



It will come as no surprise at all to long term readers of Shoeniverse that I was utterly thunderstruck by this beautiful gown. You could say it was love at first sight. It truly is a gown worthy of an Academy Award winning actress. And yes, it's from my beloved Alexander McQueen.


I often get distracted with red carpet events by the way they style the dresses, or more specifically by the shoes and accessories rather than the hair and makeup. So I thought I'd take one stunning dress and look at what could be added to finish off the look.

These two are my favourite - I'd probably take the Louboutins with the beige McQueen purse.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

REED KRAKOFF Pink Leather Mesh And Feather Sandals



I am not sure that these sandals would actually be worn in the real world, but as a concept piece / artwork they are actually blooming amazing. I guess if you were Carrie Bradshaw you would get away with it, but that hinges heavily on the whole 'fictional character' premise. And even then she would probably have gotten some very odd looks along the way.


I do really like them though despite their total and utter complete impracticality. They are flirty and fun and I would definitely wear them. I would just need to figure out where. Red Carpet Ready footwear certainly, so maybe we might see something like this at the Oscars, but aside from that I don't think that these could ever be considered 'streetwear'.

Contemporary Bride - B BRIAN ATWOOD White Linscott Scrolled Pumps



I love these, and for a contemporary bride wearing a form fitting tailored dress or gown rather than a more traditional wedding dress, these would be an incredible way to finish off the look.


Wear them with this perhaps for a really contemporary bridal look.

White Sleeveless Double Layer Dress



Linscott are a beautifully crafted semi transparent sandal and I love them. Would you wear them for your big day?

They are currently on sale too, so if you do want them for your wedding they can be yours for £175.

MICHAEL ANTONIO STUDIO Arizona Wedges in Three Colours!




If you love wedges then these beautiful pumps from Michael Antonio Studio are sure to turn some heads. I do wish that there was a nude version, but for block colour goodness then there is probably a colour for everyone among the options available. I am leaning towards the red, but the bright blue is also really striking.

What do you think is best, blue or red?

The black is also really adaptable though - and they are all available for less than £80. Have you got a favourite?

GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI Malika Spiked Toecap Leather Ballet Flats



We have featured a version of these flats before - you might remember the suede & black spiked tor version from November 2012 - but I much prefer this new colourway that's available now at Saks.

They are very much like an edgier Chanel toecap flat and even though I would normally shy away from gold spikes, I do really like them here. What do you think?

ALICE + OLIVIA Multicolour Dina Watercolour Pumps



Back before Shoeniverse was properly born there was a Tumblr called Shoeturn that we eventually evolved from. Back then I remember featuring the Dina style in red and black and thinking they were rather nice. In this watercolour finish though for Spring Summer I think they are even sweeter!


I am actually having a watercolour styled half sleeve tattoo done on July 6th, so this is a style that's very dear to my heart and I would adore a pair of these heels. Perfect with skinny jeans for shopping and lunch in town. Love them!

CHINESE LAUNDRY Gold Legendary Light Metallic Sandals



I fondly think of these as 'Jimmy Choo on a budget' which pretty much sums them up. Jimmy Choo is synonymous with light flattering metallic sandals for evening, much loved and famed by the stars, and with these pretty flirty heels you can get the look for just £38.


It's really hard to justify not buying them when they cost less than £40!


So let me see, on a budget, to bring this together for less than £100 total what would I wear with these?... How about this dress from Jane Norman? It's just £39! Perfect night on the town outfit for less than £80.
