For those who like to go all-out, you can’t do better than Alaïa for OTT chic. These super-high, concealed platform pumps are true, supermodel-toppling tower blocks, with a calf hair pattern so delicate that they appear to shimmer.

Lanvin Python & Mongolian Fur Pumps

No surprise to any of our regular readers is the rather obvious fact that I like shoes.  This is beyond the actual ’shoes I’d like to wear’ and into the land of ‘If I had an unlimited budget I’d consider opening a shoe-museum’.  There are simply too many love-them or hate-them… yet always interesting-to-look-at shoes [...]

Tabitha Simmons ‘Carrie’ suede pumps

Say hello to berry, one of the top shades for the coming season. This beautiful style by Tabitha Simmons shows the colour in all its ripe, autumnal glory, and makes us think about the gorgeous harvest fruit that’s still to come! And in Ms Shoewawa’s book that means more styles in this colour, perhaps at [...]

Casual Friday: Cut-out tassel pumps from Dorothy Perkins

As the weather gets colder, I can feel myself being drawn to darker colours and practical fabrics. This ticks one of those boxes, thought I fear the holes throughout the design will lead to soggy and chilly toes.
However, they’re a cute little pair of flats for slouching around in drier weather, and the tassel is [...]

Brian Atwood ‘Drama’ pink and brogue pumps

These simply beautiful patent pump by Brian Atwood look a little like ballet slippers that have been polished to within an inch of their lives and mounted on a particularly decorative, black brogue heel.

Toe cap ballet pumps at Office – with a real heel!

Speaking as someone who loves the two-tone, ballet pump look but can’t quite face the indignity of wearing flat shoes at 5″1, these new shoes at Office have a highly appropriate name. “Dignified” are much like many of the toe-capped flatties you’ll find, but with the welcome addition of a proper heel.

Yves Saint Laurent ‘Palais’ platform pumps

These electric blue heels from YSL have an intriguing sculpted look, and take the jutting platform look to a whole new dimension. This is dangerous territory for designers, as a few millimetres out, and you could end up with an object that looks like this. But in the capable hands of YSL’s team, they’ve managed [...]

Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal bow-embellished suede pumps

A bit of bow embellishment is always welcome on a pair of classic courts. Whether it’s a sophisticated and subtle suede choice or something altogether glitzier, there’s something very charming about them.
Clearly Giuseppe Zanotti agrees, and has therefore chosen to scatter an assortment of bejewelled bows across the back of the latest heels.
