"I've been trying my best to track down a style of boots seen in this picture. It was snapped by a friend with a camera-phone who is after a pair like them, the same if possible." - Gavin & Lisa
This is an easy one. Boots just like the ones in the picture were on sale for £25 a pair at Primark a little while ago (here's a pic of them in brown). You may still get lucky and pick up a pair, though they do tend to get through stock very quickly. They also crop up on eBay from time to time, try doing a search for 'primark boots' or 'black buckle boots'.
I've had countless emails from people looking for the wedge boots that Jennifer Aniston was sporting throughout the Sundance Film Festival, and believe me, I've been trying to find them online! Our pals over at Celebrity Style Guide have identified them as the Yves Saint Laurent 'Ida' boot, but a quick google and you'll soon find that the only Ida's around at the mo are suede, and don't have the eyelet lacing at the top. Best thing to do? Give YSL a call and hope for the best. Alternatively, the closest matches are from Michael Kors and Steve Madden.
I'm looking for a pair of sandals seen on Mischa Barton. She's wearing a baby-doll 60's inspired dress with some flat sandals that are brown with two horizontal straps with a gold chain over each strap. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated as I would love to find these little gems. - Amy
I love an easy question! For those who've not seen the pic, here it is. Mischa's chain detail flat sandals are by Miu Miu, and the good news is Net a Porter have reduced them in their sale to £110 / $209. There's quite a few sizes left, so hopefully yours is one of them!
I am trying to find a pair of shoes similar/the same as Lucy Pargeter wore on 2 episodes on "Soapstar Superstar". They were like these from Schuh, but pink. I have trawled the ITV website, but can't find a piccy of the exact pair of shoes, sorry! I would really like to find these, as I NEED a pair of pink shoes for my 30th birthday in March. - Emily
No probs, I was glued to the telly last week too (I'm so Low Culture)! If I'm not mistaken, the shoes you're looking for are these babies from Moda in Pelle, which are £79.99 at Viva La Diva. I know a lot of readers will be jumping up and down going "they sell those shoes in New Look for about £20!" and indeed they do, but not in pink, if I remember, so you'll have to pay more for the girly factor. But it's your birthday, so you can treat yourself guilt-free!
Interestingly, one of the most popular searches on this site is 'Sugar shoes', and folks are forever dropping in to this post (from January last year) trying to search out these canvas boots in various colours and patterns. The boots are still available but the prints vary from season to season. Right now, these floral boots are the best of the bunch for £34.99 at Office. In the US, you can get some of the older designs from Village Shoes for $49.99.
"I'm looking for a pair of classic black work shoes (pointy toe and mid heel), but everywhere is full of party shoes at the moment. Can you help me find some? They need to be leather and under £100 if possible." - Laura
Laura, it sounds like Aldo's 'Rossana' is the shoe you're looking for. They don't sell online, but there are stores in most major cities, and their shoes rarely go above about £70. Visit Aldoshoes.com for details.
"I'm looking for brown shoes to wear out, possibly wedges? I need to be able to wear them when I'm dancing all night so they need to be comfy. And cheap! Any ideas?" - Tracie
How about these metallic trimmed wedges from Bakers Footwear? They're $59.95 and leather, and the wedge gives you the height with a bit of comfort so you'll easily be able to wear them all night. They're also available in black with a pewter trim.
