Two for one shoe porn

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!!

Chloe Green at Topshop

Being heir to the Arcadia fortune must be a bit like being a princess. So Chloe Green is one lucky lucky girl. Daughter of the mega-minted Sir Philip Green, CEO of the Arcadia brand, Chloe was bound to become famous in her own right sooner or later. And who can blame her?? I can't honestly say that if my dad owned Topshop I wouldn't want in on a bit of the action. Can you?

After a stint on Made in Chelsea and plenty of trips down the red carpet scattered in amongst nights out with Rihanna and La Moss, the "it girl" (are we still using that term? It seems a bit Paris Hilton circa 2002) has certainly been making a name for herself. And it seems that’s not all she's been making as today her line of shoes, ingeniously named CJG Shoes, launches in Topshop.

With prices ranging from £115 to £175 the shoes certainly aren't the cheapest out there. Plus I don't see the name having nearly as much of a draw as the Kate Moss range had back in the day. Yes Miss Green has been on TV but she's certainly no mega star! And, dare I say it, after having a browse of the collection earlier today, I can't help feeling that they're a bit cheap looking…

Channeling her famous surname she's given them all a signature green sole. Not the most glamorous of colours, but I can see what she's trying to do. However the green sole combined with sky high platforms, sequins, studding, straps, zips and cheap looking colour options just really isn't doing it for me….bizarrely actually as that list contains some of my favourite things in the world!

Anyway, have a look for yourself, what do you think of the range? Will you be splashing out on a pair of Chloe's shoes?

Louboutin exhibition

I'm just back from a lovely weekend in London with my best friend. She lives there (the lucky thing!) so as this was my first trip since Christmas time the weekend was long overdue. One of the highlights of our adventure was a visit to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum. We'd booked the tickets ages ago and were really excited to go. And I think it's safe to say we were not disappointed!

Unfortunately you're not allowed to take any pics inside the exhibition so the only one I have is of this fab sign outside the museum. Trust me I could have got really snap happy in there, there were so many beautiful shoes to see.

With 20 years worth of shoes on display, from the totally lustworthy to the totally crazy there's lots to look at/drool over. There were shoes made from Guinness cans and a pair made from real fish! A stunning black patent pair with a Rolls Royce grill on the front particularly caught my eye.

A curtained off fetish area showcased some of his more "specialist" shoe styles. Definitely not made for standing in, never mind walking in, these daring designs aren't for the feint hearted!

A cinema room plays a loop of beautiful short films about Louboutin and some fun ones featuring the man himself. While in the main room there's a holographic video of the fabulous Dita Von Teese dancing, wearing a gorgeous pair of crystal embellished Loubies of course!!

All this and a breathtaking display of some of his most popular, most spectacular and most lustworthy shoes from the last 20 years means there really is lots to see. I'd definitely recommend a visit before the exhibition closes on the 9th of July.

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

So this week my best friend and I booked tickets for the upcoming Louboutin exhibition that starts in the design museum in London this May. I'm so excited about it, although worried I'll end up leaving with an overwhelming urge to spend hundreds of pounds on a pair of the red soled lovelies.

Anyway in tribute this week's shoe porn is dedicated to the inimitable Mr Louboutin. I hope these brighten your day as they did mine! Happy Monday!

Asteroid suede and patent leather pumps £945

Devidas embellished Suede pumps £1,650

Fifi leopard print sequin pumps £945

Sexy strass Swarovski crystal pumps £2,095

All of the above are available at Net-A-Porter if you're lucky enough to be able to afford them...

Do you love a Louboutin? Which ones are your favourites?

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?
