Ruffled T Strap Sandal in Black by Gwyneth - Ruffle Embellishment Gone Too Far?
Errrrrrr! are the ruffles large enough, do you think? I’ve always adored feminine detailing such as ruffles on shoes as they have been popular this season among shoe designers, but these are taking it a bit too far even for me. I think if the ruffles were smaller, these could be beautiful. The over-sized embellishment would catch my eye with every step I took - then again, I guess that’s probably the point! These are at $98 from Gwyneth and have two horizontal straps with animal print insole, although they’re hidden when you have the sandals on.
Would you wear them, or do you think they’re a little OTT?
Metallic T- Strap Flat Sandal with Rosettes - Gwyneth Shoes
Another beautiful flat sandals from their spring and summer range suitable as an everyday wear are these metallic t strap flat sandals. Rosie comes in silver, blush, blue and bronze colour. Aren’t they so adorable? I love the rosette embellishment which also follows the t bar shape. The metallic leather helps in helping the sandals not to look so dull. They’re $75 from Gwyneth Shoes, available in US Size 6 to 12 including half sizes.
Sweetheart Mary Jane Pump in Black and White by Alice + Olivia
I have been impressed with some of Payless Spring and Summer shoe collection that’s available at budget friendly prices, and I feel this particular Stacey Bendet’s collection in black with white piping is worth a mention for its very wearable style. The elegant V line shape and the medium size straps with a distinctive white button offers an easy way to inject a little personality into your work wardrobe, they’re $38, which makes them very affordable, too. A classic Mary Jane shape with a comfortable, almond toe shape and mid-height heel - what more could you ask for? Comes in US Size 5 to 12 including half sizes.
Kathyrn Kerrigan Graphite Pointed Toe Pump with Cut Out Detail
The graphite shimmery pump is a beautiful style of shoe that is ideal for parties or even as a bridal or wedding shoe. The slim strap and cut out detail around the ankle is not ideal for anyone with ankles that they want to draw attention to. These heels are a classic you can wear for years. Without a doubt an investment piece for those cocktail parties, nights out with the girls or that last minute date. On sale for $159 at Kathryn Kerrigan.
Black Leather Ankle Tie Court Shoe by Tall Boutique
Tall Boutique have jazzed up a regular old court shoe here, by adding an ankle strap with a slim tie on the side. I think these would leave opinions divided on this shoe. Some of us would prefer to snip off the unnecessary strap off. So which camp do you fall into? Do you love the strap with tie, or would you rather leave it off? If you are interested in buying these shoes, why not head down to Tall Boutique’s website where they’re on sale for £19.99 in UK Size 9 to 11.
Bespoke Big Day: Cupid Almond Toe Court Shoes with Glitter Heels

Many of us women are guilty of avoiding the bridal section of high street shops or online stores expect if we have weddings to attend - you are indeed missing out. Just because you are not saying “I do” doesn’t mean you can enjoy the shoes.
I came across this online store based in the UK called Bespoke Big Day. They specialise in custom made bridal shoes up UK Size 9 but can go up to UK Size 12. All of their custom made shoes are under £100 like these almond toe court shoe ‘Cleo’ with glitter covered heel. The glitter is available in any colour. A lovely court shoe perfect for all year round. So why should these be hidden underneath a gigantic wedding dress and hardly seen by anyone.
Cleo is on sale for £89.00 with a choice to choose between 2 to 4 inch heel height.
