Shoes Glorious Shoes!

I love, love, love these shoes! If you ask me a good pair of flats are a girl's best friend. You don't need to totter around on uncomfortable heels when shoes like this make such a big statement. These super chic pumps with zip front detailing look like they might cost a pretty penny - but don't laugh when I tell you that you'll get change from £30 at M&S. It's true!

 

 

 

Available in half sizes it's easy to find the perfect fit and they've even been endorsed by the UK Society of Podiatrists. Insolia Flex® makes walking in flats more comfortable by ensuring your foot is correctly placed within your shoes, and improving the natural rotational movement of the ball of the foot - so they really are a treat for your feet in every way. And at just £29.50 a pair it would be rude not to buy the red ones too...

Angelina's Killer Heels

What to wear to the Maleficent costume event at Kensington Palace? It must have been a no-brainer for Angelina Jolie with not one, but two pairs of custom-made Louboutins to choose from. The eye-catching shoes with a twisted, blood-tipped horn for a heel are inspired by Jolie's latest role as the evil Maleficent in the eagerly anticipated new Disney film based on the story of Sleeping Beauty.

Forget Captain Hook, Shere Khan and Cruella DeVille - if you ask me Maleficent was always the scariest Disney villain. If anyone deserves the moniker 'she who must not be named' it's her, not Voldemort - but that's mainly because I've never been able to pronounce Maleficent (somewhat unfortunate given the film's current prominence in the press). Maleficent is causing quite a stir in the fashion world at the moment with a tie-in MAC make-up line now on sale - but I can't quite see those horns catching on, that is unless they are used as scarily chic heels of course.

Shopaholic Star Buy: Melissa Shoes

The fun thing about shopping at TK Maxx is that you never know what you might find. Hidden amidst the racks of clothes and stacks of shoes could just be the item you've been waiting for - and with a guaranteed discount! And that's exactly what happened when I sniffed out these Melissa jelly shoes today.

The heel is sturdier than you might imagine, whilst the soft rubber makes for a comfy fit - and you can forget that pungent plastic smell with Melissa shoes. These beauties smell of bubblegum! The pale pink design with black hearts is reminiscent of the 'Lady Dragon' style the brand produced for Vivienne Westwood, but these shoes were an absolute steal for £29.99 (rrp £55).

Topshop Top Buy

On your marks, get set, GO! The Topshop sale is now on.

Loads of styles now have up to 50% off, but browsing through the pages of discounted goodies online one item stands head and shoulders above the crowd for me.

I love these perspex heel shoes with floral print upper - and what's more they've been marked down from £55 - £30. Slip your feet into these glass slippers and with that almost invisible heel you'll feel like you're walking on air!

Well Cinderella is all the proof I need to show that the right pair of shoes can change a girl's life...

24 Carat Gold Shoes

Alberto Moretti certainly has the Midas touch when it comes to shoes. Unveiled where other than the Monaco Grand Prix, these very special shoes are coated in a layer of 24 carat gold.

Whilst I can boast of having sampled a cappuccino with 24 carat gold sprinkles on top my footwear collection is somewhat lacking when it comes to precious metals. Coming in just two simple styles - that's stilettos for women and men's loafers - 'the material that covers the entire surface of the shoe makes it unnecessary to add any kind of decoration.' So Moretti let's the gold do the talking - and these shoes scream 'I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams.'

If you should fancy giving your feet a treat to a bit of bling it'll come as no surprise that these shoes are only for the very well heeled - coming in at £1,700 a pair. Adding to the exclusivity of the item they'll solely (get it?) be available from just 5 of the world's top department stores; that's Harrods London, Barney's New York, Fred Segal L.A., The Swank Hong Kong, and the Shoe District in Dubai Mall.

Prince Harry has worn the designer's shoes in the past, begging the question will a pair of Alberto Moretti's 24 carat gold shoes be added to the crown jewels?

Royal Blue Suede Shoes

DMU footwear design student Becka Hunt has won the covetable prize of having her design worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

The striking cobalt shoes with lace detailing caught Kate's eye... and it seems she's not the only royal with a penchant for blue suede shoes...

Prince Harry stepped out in a pair of Russell & Bromley desert boots whilst on his official visit to Jamaica.

The Duchess's New Shoes

We all know the Duchess of Cambridge loves her L.K. Bennett wedges, nude court shoes and knee-high suede boots, but her next sartorial step is in the hands of DMU footwear design students, who are competing to be given the royal seal of approval.
