I've fancied a pair of high top trainers for quite a while now. As much as I love the amazing heeled styles around just now, at 5 foot 10 without heels I don't really think they're necessary! So when I spotted these beauties on the Dune website I fell in love.
In a gorgeous neutral shade and luxurious suede they look just as expensive as the Ash heeled styles, and they'll go with everything. As if that wasn't enough, a wee swipe of the side zip reveals a hidden touch of snake print. In my calculations that makes them two pairs of shoes for the price of one....and that makes the £75 price tag a total bargain!!

Cinderella's Loubis
I love a good fairytale, and what happy ending would be better than being given a gorgeous pair of limited edition Cinderella shoes?
Christian Louboutin has redesigned the iconic glass slipper in honour of the Blue Ray release of Cinderella later this year. And here's what the man himself has to say about the gorgeous lace and crystal embellished beauties.
The shoes are limited to just 20 pairs worldwide, and they'll be given away to fans in a give away. I'll race you to the front of that competition queue girls!!

"Cinderella is not only an iconic character when it comes to beauty, grace and fairytale love, but also shoes. Her character and her story dictated the design to me, it was all there in the pages and the words of this tale. The slipper is the magic wand of transformation, which conjures confidence, beauty and love The dream is a major factor in my language of design. There are no limits in the world of fantasy and there is always a happily ever after."

Bank holiday shoe porn
Happy bank holiday
Monday folks! It seems like the whole world is off today apart from me. I
really should stay off Facebook and Twitter on days like today. It only
depresses me hearing everyone talking about still being in bed at midday and
all the fun/lazy things they're doing with their day off while I slave away at
my desk.
So to cheer myself
up, I've been having a lunchtime perv over these Balmain beauties on the
Stylebop website. With a brass python detailed toe and heel trim plus a super
high stiletto heel they're my new favourites...for today anyway. Just a shame
they are a wee bit out of my budget at £1,054!! Swoon….

Midweek shoe porn
Happy hump day folks! I trust you're all having a fabulous week? Don't worry if you're not as these babies are sure to put a smile on your face...
Dorothy meets Cinderella in these gorgeous silver glittery heels! I'm struggling to think of an outfit, or a night for that matter, that wouldn't be improved with the addition of these bad boys. With a perfectly wearable 10cm heel and a sweet bow on the front - did I mention I have a weakness for bows? They make me smile every time I look at them.
Plus at a purse friendly £40 Schuh have come up trumps yet again. I think I'm in love....

Casual midweek shoe porn
Happy Friday Eve folks, I hope you're all enjoying a cheeky wee four day week??
As Monday was Easter and therefore we were all off work and stuffing our faces with lots of lovely chocolate, I didn't really think there was much need for some shoe porn to cheer us up....although it never really goes wrong to be fair.
Midweek in a four day week however there's a definite need for some shiny new shoe delights to brighten our day. These little Kurt Geiger beauties did the trick for me in a post work online window shop sesh! I say window shop as, yes, the spending ban is still in place. I fear it may be there until I'm 80!

Ok so at £150 they're not the cheapest trainers I've ever owned, but just look at how studded and lovely they are. Generally speaking I'm not really good at the whole casual dressing thing, I feel much more at home in a dress and heels than I do in jeans and some cons. But I think this amazing Lumiere style bridges the gap somewhere between "casual and comfy" and "stylish and fierce"!
What do you think? They're probably wardrobe essentials really aren't they??

Monday shoe porn
I'm currently on a spending ban, apparently moving house isn't cheap, who knew?! Every gorgeous dress, handbag or pair of shoes I see I immediately translate into how many sets of curtains or rolls of wallpaper I could buy for the same amount. It's a sad day when you find more pleasure in a new ceiling lamp than a new clutch bag.
Anyway while this self inflicted spending ban is in place I'll just need to entertain myself with some window shopping/dreaming. And this weekend I've been mostly dreaming of these stunning Enigma shoes from Kurt Geiger.
I have no idea where I'd ever wear these shoes, so maybe it's best they stay in dream shoe land. But I love the the metallic toe cap detail and the mule shape. Plus the beautiful pale mint colour really reminds me of the SS12 Louis Vuitton campaign....which therefore means the £140 Kurt Geiger beauties are actually a total bargain!
Spending ban?? What spending ban?!

Monday shoe porn
So, as anyone who knows me could tell you, shoes are my weakness! Open any cupboard door or drawer in my house and you're sure to find some shoes. So what better way to brighten up a grey Monday than with some shoe porn??
These glittery little beauties are Marc by Marc Jacobs.
In real life I hate rodents... seriously hate them, the thought of them gives me shivers...but in dream shoe world how adorable are the wee mouse faces on these?! Plus they're practical (a girl can never have too many ballet pumps!), sparkly, cute, what's not to love? And they're a total bargain at £220.....ahem! Even a wee lunchtime perv over them on the Harvey Nic's website brightened up my day today. I hope they did the same for you, what do you think?? Do you love them too?
