We’ve been noticing a very particular and enticing colour trend in shoes over the past month or so. There was a time when white stillys were a byword for a very trashy look, but what goes around, comes around in the wonderful world of fashion, and the white shoe is now a key look for the season.
Granted, none of these are old school stilettos, but they do cover pretty much all of the key shoe shapes for this Summer from flatforms, through the ‘strapoot’ to the newest variation of the classic stilly in marvelous matte white from Stella.

I spotted this in the April issue of French Vogue. Aren’t these the most incredible Tods you’ve ever seen? I always think that this particular brand of ‘car shoe’ is a bit ‘mweh’, which makes this even more of a wonderful surprise. The origins of the moccasin are as a Native American shoe decorated with beads, so this is a rather OTT homage to roots of this brand’s core style really.
Practical? No. Fabulous? Yes indeed!

We spotted this stunningly styled pair of Celine-a-like gold metallic wedges being worn at London Fashion Week. Rather fabulous, and apparently really quite comfy. That’s a result all round then.

But I am rather smugly happy to say that I think I can top trump that result with one of my own. I do love a strong shoe choice, and perhaps even more than that I love a bargain so when I spotted these ‘inspired by’ gold wedges in Zara for a mere £15 in the sale, there was no question that they were coming home with me…
Zara, very probably inspired by Celine wouldn't you agree?

How deliciously saucy are these? Maybe the term ‘shoe porn’ wouldn’t be totally inappropriate to describe these lace up lovelies? When adding these in to your outfit, just be sure to schedule in some extra ‘getting ready’ time as these look like they might take a while to get on…

The hottest material choice for accessories right now seems to be plastic and perspex, creating some really interesting see through styles. Spotted from high end to high street, this is a look that has impacted right across the fashion map. Whether this is a totally sheer statement or used just as a detail, insert or trim, it’s all very clear what you should be rocking right now…

H&M very smartly threw a bit of an ‘immediate response’ shoes and accessories Press Day, featuring lots of their fabulous Spring Summer ‘must haves’ alongside a little re-show at the key looks from the men’s and womenswear Summer collections.
Generally Press Days happen so far ahead of the actual season that it can be quite confusing and disorienting. This has traditionally been driven by the long lead times needed by all the glorious monthly glossy fashion mags. Well, H&M have realized that we bloggers can share news pretty much instantaneously, so this shoe and accessories Press Day featured product that is either in store now, or arriving imminently. Genius!
Here are some of the favourites from what we saw last night, and I must tell you that the black backpack (with ears!!!!) is on my ‘most wanted’ list, and it will be instore in about three weeks.

One of the designer’s I’m looking forward to seeing at London Fashion Week is Sophia Webster. We first spotted her at September’s Somerset House exhibition, presenting her Brazil inspired, dolly mixtures like, gorgeously colourful and fun collection of shoes. Webster is the former assistant to genius footwear designer, Nicholas Kirkwood, and is now making her own, very creative mark on the fashion world.
This RCA and Cordwainers graduate, has been picked up by three of fashion’s most influential retailers- Dover Street Market, Harvey Nichols and net-a-porter.com so the future looks as bright as her SS’13 collection!

As I whipped up Regents Street after a rather delightful lunch meeting today, I paused outside Massimo Dutti. I was stopped by my magpie like super powers to spot something sparkly at twenty paces. These studded brogue style shoes are very nice indeed, and just happen to look very much like a particular favourite of ours from Church’s. If you happened to miss the original Church’s post, click here to have a look.
