Shoeniverse is taking a well earned week (ish) off for Christmas!

Just a note to let you know that there won't be any 'new' posts from Shoeniverse until I start collating sale bargains post Christmas Day. This could be for as long as a week or if I see any absolute bargains then it might be slightly sooner. I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas with someone you love full of fun, laughter, and much good food and even better company.

BOOTIFUL feat - ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Black Smooth Leather And Patent Leather Booties vs. CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Grey Bootylili 100 Suede Ankle Boots

It's a double trouble post featuring my two current favourite boots in the whole wide world, like... ever!

The McQueen of course are very much 'standard Samantha' fare. Sky high, Corved heel, Platform, Glossy, Black. There is nothing to not LOVE about these boots, and I would imagine that long time readers of Shoeniverse will not be in the least bit surprised to see them featured here. They look amazing on too. Look...



Give me a vest and some denim shorts and I am good to go with these boots. McQueen is and will probably always be a very firm favourite.

But then the soft grey suede of Bootylili is also so damned inviting... and they look incredible with tailoring and leather.



It's a tough call, they are so very different. I think if I had to pick then I would go with the McQueen but in an ideal world of course we'd all just rush out and buy them both.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Silver Croisilleta 120 Metallic Leather Sandals

It's so close to Christmas I can almost taste the food, and so I thought it was high time we featured a little bit of last minute Christmas sparkle. Enter stage left Christian Louboutin and the unashamedly showy Croisilleta.



If these don't make you feel festive then I imagine your favourite phrases include "Bah, humbug"... They are also rather Jimmy Choo-like. Don't you think?

FRYE Black Veronica Patent Leather Boots

We've featured many Frye classic boots on Shoeniverse - including Jayden biker boots, Vera disc embellished boots, Celia tall boots and Melissa in high shine cognac leather - but Veronica in black patent is undoubtedly the most dressy of the lot. These are incredible.

But it gets better...



They were originally £260, but can be picked up from The Outnet for half price. Yes, these can be yours for just £130. Go get 'em...

ZARA Red Patent Ballerina

These little Zara flats are perfect for a little 'pre-Christmas treat' (like we ever really need an excuse), or as a late gift buy, and at £19 they won't break the bank.

Be fast though as they really won't be available for long.

The Last Minute Present Edit

Did you forget someone and suddenly realise the date? Did you find out you've not bought a gift for someone but know they have one for you? Do you always leave things until the last minute and then panic? Fear not, we've got you covered. See below for my pick of last minute Christmas themed Holiday presents. Enjoy x (and don't leave it so late next year...)

BEBE Yazmin Mesh Wedge in Beige or Black

Beige or black, these sky high mesh wedges are seriously sexy. The beige ones would be ridiculously flattering and make your legs go on forever. The black? Sexy as hell.



They are only £85 too so why choose when you can have them both. I do love the multicoloured sparkles on the beige ones. Which ones would you rather own?
