Christian Louboutin Sometimes shoe boots

louboutin_sometimes.jpg

Looking a bit like a gladiator heel, these Sometimes peep toe shoe boots by Christian Louboutin (£430) are just begging to be popped on your feet and then paraded around to admiring glances.

Made from gorgeously soft nappa leather, they manage to combine a trendy lace-up style with cutouts on both sides and a classic slingback design.

The stiletto heel is 120mm and when you combine it with the 20mm hidden platform that is some serious height! Great for doing the "toughening up" thing for spring, but come winter, you'll keep them trucking on with a pair of tights. You can get your Louboutin fix at Net-a-Porter.

Planning a summer of festival-going? Hunter wellies now available at ASOS!

hunter_wellies.jpgNo, they're not exactly glamorous, but if you're planning on heading to any of the UK music festivals this summer, "glamour" will probably have to make way for "practical", given that you'll be wallowing in mud much of the time. That's unless you're Kate Moss, of course: Kate always manages to look glamorous at Glastonbury, usually while wearing a pair of denim shorts and her trusty Hunter wellies, and now you can too, thanks to ASOS, who are selling the Wellingtons for £55 per pair. Whether you choose to wear them with denim hotpants is, of course, up to you!

Peppermint Vintage burgundy riding boots

burgundy boots peppermint vintage riding.jpgI was first drawn to the oxblood colour of these boots, it's really rich and makes a nice change from tan or brown leather but is less boring than black. Another great thing is they're Bally which means quality leather, good fit and endless durability. Yes it might be a bit late in the season for leather boots but at $24 who's gonna complain?

Snap up this great bargain from Peppermint Vintage.

Ugly Shoe of the Week: SnUgg boots by Aussie Soles

SnUggs.jpgNo, your eyes do not deceive you: you are, in fact, looking at an Ugg boot with a Croc stuck to the bottom - or a SnUgg boot, to give it its proper name. Well, SnUgg it may well be, but I somehow don't think too many of our readers will be rushing to try and buy themselves a pair of these. If you disagree, of course, you can pick them up from Aussie Sole for $59.95 AUS and the "good" news is that they're also available in pink and black.

Paul & Joe Artsy Lace Up Open Toe Bootie

pauljoebootie.jpg

The description says "We feel so Carine-Roitfeld-at-Paris-Fashion-Week in these" and funnily enough, this is what drew me to these Paul & Joe open-toe booties in the first place.

I've not been big into the open-toe bootie scene, but I came across this blog post yesterday on the French Voguettes (who champion the look big time) and found myself gazing wistfully at their shoes, longing for a pair of my very own. Nothing like a bit of style inspiration from the most chic women in the world to get you to change your tune!

These are $740 and you can find them at shopbop.com.

Yay or Nay Wednesday

doc-martens.jpgLast week's shoes didn't make a lot of impact on you, with the majority of you ending up giving them a 'Nay', despite quite liking some aspects of the shoes. They were Type z's Chloi shoes, and if you liked them, you'll find them at Zappos for $95.

There would be absolutely no point in me trying to hide the identity of this week's shoes, so I may as well just tell you that they're pink patent Dr Martens, which you can currently find at ASOS for £60. What I really want to know, though, is what you think of them. Clearly the likes of Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe have been helping bring the Doc Marten boot back into fashion over the past few months, but are you pleased to see them return, or would you rather they'd just left them where they were? Vote Yay or Nay, and don't forget to tell us why!

Bargain Tuesday: Snake panel vintage style boots from ASOS

asos-boots-snake.jpgIf you're anything like me, you're probably looking forward to storing your boots away for the winter rather than buying more, but trust me, when winter rolls around again, and you're faced with the prospect of spending a large portion of your salary on a new pair of boots, you're going to be grateful you decided to plan ahead and pick up some bargain boots in the spring.

The vintage look panel boots from ASOS are down to just £15 in the sale, and are available in brown and black. The shape makes these ideal for tucking your jeans into (Come on, you know it makes sense when it's raining!) and they'd be a useful pair to have on hand for those dressed down, casual days.
