A Perfectly Presentable Foot Fetish!

Hey there everyone! How are we all today? I hope well. I have been having a very lazy morning today lying in bed with my two kittens; Munch and Scrunch (cute names I know!!) catching up on all my e-mails etc.

I have been taking an avid interest in Cheltenham Fashion Week (17^th-21^st September) on Twitter and am pleased to say that I have a meeting with them to hopefully discuss any ways in which I can help out, which I am extremely excited about! I’ve been having a look at the website www.cheltenhamfashionweek.co.uk and it all looks extremely exciting, from guests such as Caryn Franklyn (fashion broadcaster, writer, director and producer) and Sarah Curran (founder of mywardrobe.com), to free workshops and hotels that are to be transformed into shopping paradises, CFW is not be missed this year. Tickets are now available online so hurry up and grab yours!

I have also been invited to a charity fashion show tonight in Hereford that I will be attending with some friends so I will keep you updated on that too! Anyone have any outfit suggestions for me for tonight?! Leave a comment below!

So for today’s post I am going to review my favourite summer shoes; heels, flats, sandals, wedges and where you can buy gorgeous pairs for under £25, under £75, under £150 and then a special blow the budget selection too! Because every girl loves a bit of window shopping!

Under £25

New Look Cream Zebra Print Espadrille Plimsolls. £7.99. Because every girl needs an espadrille in the summer!

Office Worship My Wedge (bright blue). Was £60, Now £15! Again these shoes are absolutely brilliant for adding a pop of colour to an outfit, the wedge is far comfier than a normal heel and the colour is everywhere this season.

Topshop Honey colour block sandals (Multi). £20. Perfect for adding a pop of colour to an outfit, whilst keeping your toes totally chilled. Love these sandals!

Under £75

Topshop Honolulu Cutout Peeptoe Shoes (tan). £32. These shoes are perfect for popping on with any outfit when you need a comfortable flat-shoe. They look adorable with summer dresses and the tan colour pretty much goes with everything.

Toms Crochet Women’s Classics (neutral). £45. Again because every girl needs an espadrille, but also because the wonderful people at Toms donate a pair of there fabulous shoes to a child in need with every pair purchased. These are my favourite as they are perfect to keep cool in summer whilst working the African-inspired trends. Also check out the Toms website for their new eyewear and again with every pair of ultra-chic sunglasses purchased Toms will help give sight to a person in need, providing prescription glasses, sight-saving surgeries and medical treatment. Yes these espadrilles are slightly more expensive but they really are the shoes that care.

Jeffrey Campbell (available online, at Office, Harvey Nichols and various other retailers) Foxy Heel Platform. Was £105, Now £55. T-bar style with a cute peep-toe and chunky wooden heel. My favourite are the zebra print suede, but these babies come in all manner of colours and patterns...Which one would you choose?!

Topshop Adios Tapestry Western Boots (multi). £62. These little cowgirl booties are super cute and super on-trend, especially for festivals with a denim short or plain summer dress. Don’t fancy wearing willies but know that you need something a little more protective than a pump these beauties are ideal! And trust me, the compliments will come rolling in!

Under £150

Kurt Geiger Harrison Wedge. Was £190, Now £95. These caught my eye the moment they entered the store and I have loved them ever since! They ooze exotic luxury with the juxtapositioning of woven monochrome raffia and beautiful brights they really will be the highlight of any outfit. And with 50% off…go on, treat yourself!

Medea Metallic Ancient Greek Leather Sandals (netaporter.com). £140. These sandals have a slight heel and really will look absolutely fabulous with any summer outfit, with a bikini on the beach to wearing a maxi from drinks at sunset. The signature wing-shaped buckle fastening and the studded detail show true craftsmanship.

Blow the Budget!

Charlotte Olympia Melody Raffia Wedge (neutral). Was £935, Now £468. These absolutely gorgeous wedges are so cute and fun for the sun! The pom-pom on the front reminds me of kids birthday parties and automatically puts a smile on my face! Definitely a feel-good shoe for a feel-good summer! Check out the Charlotte Olympia website for many other beautiful styles at sale prices, The Meredith (£283) are another favourite of mine for instant fun and glamour this summer!

Nicholas Kirkwood Suede and Elaphe Slingback Sandals (netaporter.com). £795. Handcrafted, these heels are the epitome of style. I love Nicholas Kirkwood; always have, always will, and this is why. These shoes are so elegant and unique, quirky and innovative. Part of the pre-fall collection they are perfect to wear with any summer outfit and yet will compliment any AW12 outfit too. I love the mix of apricot suede, lemon elaphe and patent red leather. Note to boyfriend…it’s almost payday!!

So there’s my list and a few pics of my favourite summer shoes, as you may have been able to tell, I love a wedge! But hopefully I’ve put a few other styles in there to inspire you all! Remember that most places are in sale at the minute and I have to say looking online the Office and Kurt Geiger sales really stood out. Also if you ever wanted to buy designer but can’t justify the outrageous price tags that some of them come with then really do some research, check out designers own websites, not just the likes of matches.com and my-wardrobe etc. Try theoutnet.com for grabbing a bargain too, it sells off the previous season’s collections from netaporter.com at unbelievable prices!

I hope everyone has an amazing afternoon! Got a spare five minutes then check out the online sales!

Love, love,
