Shoes of the Week - 29/01/13 - Joe Browns Polka Dot Wedge

Hi Guys

I apologise for not posting sooner but the last 2 weeks have been kinda of hard for me. Last week saw my fabulous Sister turn 21, my gorgeous Mother becoming another year more glamorous and my Dad becoming ill. Following (as always) in his footsteps I also became ill with the Flu.

This is the first time I've been truly ill and away from anyone who normally looks after me so it's been difficult to function, especially when all you want to do is hide under the duvet. Luckily my friends at halls have been keeping an eye out to make sure I'm alright and my family has kept in almost constant contact.

Today is the first day that I have felt motivated to do anything so here I am offering you (my slightly belated) shoes of the week. I hope you like them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My shoes of the week are Joe Browns Polka Dot Wedge Heels

Think Minnie Mouse ? Betty Boop ? Pin Up Girl ?

These shoes remind me of all of these things. Hitting my style high five with a hint of the 50's and a dash of cuteness I just adore these wedges.

Featuring adjustable ankle straps and a bow on the toe these are ideal shoes for showing off all aspects of your feet. A 5cm wedge (2") means these babies are good to go day and night and the combination of spot print and raffia softens these up nicely for modern vintage feel.

Wear with high waisted shorts or turned up jeans for a true pin up look or clash your colours with a ditsy print dress. 

These will be fabulous for in the late spring/summer or even as a Valentines day treat to yourself.

Overall I give 9/10 - only because I can't wear them now !

Shoes Of The Week 04/09/12 - Topshop Mandolin Heart Shoes

Hi Guys

This last week has been quite a hectic one filled with appointments to try and sort out all the technical stuff they don't tell you about when you apply for uni e.g. insurance, student accounts and freshers week preparations. I think I'm getting mostly on top of it now but still got a few more bits to do before move in (T-minus 3 week 5 days).

It's beginning to feel real that I will be living and studying in London which makes me both extremely excited and nervous at the same time but hopefully it will be where I want to be. The next big hurdle I will have to face is packing a 3 month wardrobe into 2 holdalls and reducing 80 pairs of shoes down to 8 ...

Anyway , this weeks shoes of the week are courtesy of Topshop and are brand new in store this week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Shoes of the Week are the Mandolin Heart Point Shoes in black.

 



I came across this pair whilst catching up on whats new in at Topshop and loved them.

The spot overlay hints back to the 50s/60s giving a new 'old' feel to the shoes and fits in perfectly with the upcoming trends for autumn. The studded heart is both girly and punk rock fitting the ideas of grunge and goth, both big for A/W 12, and the pointed toe will look great with cropped trousers or as an alternative to a heel.

They also come in a nude version (Found here) which are great as a "wear with anything , do anything" kind of shoe.

At £24 they do seem quite expensive for a pair of flats but, for Topshop I think this is quite reasonable because most shoes start at £28.

I can certainly see these being great transitional shoes as we head in to the colder months due to the versatility. I would wear them with a tartan pencil skirt and a band t-shirt now and cropped tweed trousers and a blazer in the winter.

I give a score of 9 / 10 for these and can't wait to get my hands on them when they hit the stores.
