Colourful clogs from Feud

AbiSilvester — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:10:42 GMT

This fun new style from Feud is a playful take on the clog style that we're just loving for the spring and summer season. Giving a cheeky nod to the nautical look, with stripes and a large bow, they'll be perfect for wearing with cropped trousers, culottes and flouncy skirts.

Bargain Tuesday: New Look mock croc heels

AbiSilvester — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 07:33:26 GMT

Fresh from New Look's 'going out' section, these mock-croc heels are certainly special enough for any night on the town.

Heeled desert boots from Carvela

AbiSilvester — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 07:33:26 GMT

If you were part of the large minority who said you liked heels on your desert boots in our recent poll, you'll love this new style from Carvela. Available in a lovely shade of powder blue or sandstone beige, these will work like a dream with a pretty floral skirt or pale jeans, just perfect for setting the mood for summer.

Want to be a total Hasbeen this summer?

AbiSilvester — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:00:38 GMT

We've been promised exciting new things from Swedish Hasbeens ever since SJP stepped out in a pair on the set of the new Sex and the City movie. But we certainly couldn't have imagine anything quite as colourful, fun and girly as what they've actually produced! Finally, it seems the holy grail of comfort and style has been found.

Mary Jane Monday: French Connection 'June'

AbiSilvester — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:40:55 GMT

This unusual style from French Connection is a rare example of a shoe with a 'spiked' heel I actually rather like. The overall balance of the style works well, and the extra straps would presumably provide decent purchase for wrenching your foot out when it's trapped in a pavement crack or gutter.

Valentine shoes: Marc Jacobs red heart shoes

AbiSilvester — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:46:52 GMT

Our Marc loves hearts, so it's no wonder his shoes are more popular than ever at this time of year.

Ebay Watch: Jimmy Choo for Hunter wellies

AbiSilvester — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:59:45 GMT

Much of the US is experiencing the same 'Day After Tomorrow' style weather events we've been battling with for weeks back in Blighty, and Rachel Bilson is leading the way in Weather Warning Chic. Striding out in her croc-effect, Jimmy Choo wellington boots, she certainly knows how to dress for a deluge.

Vintage Valentine's fair at Laura J

AbiSilvester — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:08:46 GMT

Want to combine shoe-shopping with getting glammed up in time for your romantic Valentine's night out? Our friends at Laura J boutique in Islington can help, as they're hosting a bit of a party on Saturday 13th, with the store set out as a fabulous retro village fete.

Casual Friday: create your own unique TOMS shoes at Topshop in London Fashion Week!

AbiSilvester — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:32:37 GMT

We're big fans of TOMS - the super comfy, super ethical shoes that make you feel great inside and out (for every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS give another pair to a child in need). So it's exciting to hear that Topshop have invited TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie along with supermodel Erin Wasson to open a shoe customising workshop in their flagships store on Oxford Street, during London Fashion Week.

Vintage 1940s cluster shoes on Etsy

AbiSilvester — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:01:24 GMT

We don't see a lot of 1940s vintage in the footwear section: most have been trampled into the ground by now. But here's an opportunity to buy a near-pristine pair for less than your average pair of high street shoes.

Marc Jacobs red heart shoes

AbiSilvester — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:14:32 GMT

Our Marc loves hearts, so it's no wonder his shoes are more popular than ever at this time of year.

Miss Selfridge grey oversized bow platforms

AbiSilvester — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 18:30:08 GMT

'Minnie Mouse shoes' are part of a trend that I was beginning to think had gone away, but it's still very much alive and squeaking over at Miss Selfridge.

Coralicious Christian Louboutin pumps

AbiSilvester — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:54:07 GMT

It takes an outstanding designer to render a classic, simple style to perfection, and we'd expect nothing less of Christian Louboutin, who seems to make us happiest when he sticks to the more straightforward styles.

Fun flatties: Repetto star-studded pumps

AbiSilvester — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:19:50 GMT

If you're wanting to 'do a VB' and switch to flatties wihile your feet recover from party season, there's no need to resign yourself to dull footwear. These pretty flats from Repetto, similar in many ways to Giuseppe Zanotti's star-spangled range, are a delightfully fun way to healthy feet, and they'll go with almost anything.

Thomas Wylde skull-studded boots

AbiSilvester — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:34:58 GMT

I think Thomas Wylde is having a bit of a competition with Alexander McQueen at the moment, to see who can put the most skulls on the most accessories. These boots will certainly have added a few points to team Wylde's scorecard, as every one of those notches covering the boots is actually a miniature skulll,

Ted Baker crossover sandals at ASOS

AbiSilvester — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:19:24 GMT

Ted Baker always seems to get the balance between pretty femininity and contemporary simplicity spot on, and these crossover sandals over at ASOS are a great example.

Yay or Nay: High-heeled desert boots

AbiSilvester — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:39:46 GMT

We've had high-heeled trainers, high-heeled DMs, high-heeled clogs and now high-heeled desert boots. Is no shoe style exempt from the curse of the high heel? Not in 2010, it seems.

New Chie Mihara styles for spring

AbiSilvester — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:23:23 GMT

Chie Mihara's styles are always fresh, but never more than at this time of year when the spring and summer styles come out to play. It's hard to pick out one new design to represent the lot, but this one caught my eye in particular, as I love the softness of the leather and the prettiness of the cut-out style.

High Street Pick of the Week: Aldo studded 'Ardry' pumps

AbiSilvester — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:54:31 GMT

Aldo seems to be bringing out one really cool style per season (with 'Guerette' coming out top for A/W 09) and I'm tempted to say that this new design is their latest triumph. Made from soft leather and available in black or uber-chic pale grey, the almond-toed shoes are very now.

New Look Woven Strap Platform

Emma Cossey — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:33:47 GMT

I've fallen a little bit in love with the New Look Woven Strap Platform shoes on the left, and I can't put my finger on why.

You see, there's nothing particularly exciting about them. There are hundreds of black ankle boots out there at the moment, and the woven strap detail doesn't particularly mark it out from any of them.

But there's just something very classic about them. I'm a little scared of the whole ankle boot thing (I don't have the most svelte legs) but these seem pretty approachable.

So what do you think? Do you like them, or are they a little blah?

You can buy them for £20 in black, greyhound or alabaster

Emma Cossey — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:40:33 GMT

Marc Jacobs' big boots of bling

AbiSilvester — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:59:22 GMT

Marc Jacobs certainly knows how to draw attention, and these boots would certainly be a great idea if you don't like people looking at your face. Or clothes, or body, or indeed looking anywhere else at all, as they're just so incredibly shiny!
