Loeffler Randall Blythe D-Ring Bootie

loefflerrandallblythedring.jpg The weather outside is improving, but it may not be time for sandals just yet, so why not invest in these
Loeffler Randall Blythe D-Ring Booties? It's a shoe that brings you the best of both worlds thanks to the cut-out at the front which closes up with the buckle detail. They're a little edgy and a little eighties and would look so cool with a denim mini and a leather bomber jacket for dramatic effect. Sure they remind me a little of Michelle Phiffer in Grease 2, but she did look amazing no matter the cheesiness of the movie.

Ugly Shoe of the Week

miu-miu-python-boots.jpgThis week's ugly shoes are actually ugly boots: Miu Miu's python cut out boots, to be precise. Yes, I known the season for wearing boots is almost over, but don't worry - these have holes all over them, so your legs will stay cool. They also have the suggestion of a snake face on the toe, so if anyone you know has a phobia about our slithery friends, it's probably going to be a good idea to steer clear while you're wearing these, or you'll end up giving them nightmares.

Some of you will, of course, like these boots. Will you like them enough to pay £2,155 for them though, I wonder?

Office leather fasten back boot - on sale!

officeleathersale.jpg

Shoes which end up in the sale section, usually do so for good reason. But these boots are really rather nice. It's not every day you come across non-weird looking, real leather boots for £25 (down from £94.99 at Office).

I want to try wearing these with opaque tights and knee-high socks underneath as Sienna was seen doing last night leaving the Groucho club. So cute!

Veronique Branquinho Slingback Booties

VeroniqueBranquinho.jpg

I thought Helen's confused Camilla Skavgaard boot-pump thing was a crazy sight. But then I came across these Veronique Branquinho Slingback Booties and I realised you could be a shoe who is much, much more confused!

They seem to be a wedge sandal, slingback heel and bootie all wrapped up in one and with mixed materials and textures (including metallic patent leather, suede and elastic) I just don't even know where I'd begin in terms of pairing this with an outfit. I'm thinking it might take a wee bit of experimentation to see what suits...

For $575 (from Saks), you're free to experiment to your heart's content!

Camilla Skovgaard Peep Toe Ankle Strap Bootie

camila2000221623.jpg Do you get the sense that this Camilla Skovgaard Peep Toe Ankle Strap Bootie is confused? Is it a boot, is it a peep toe pump, or are they a sandal with ankle cuff detail? Well it seems it is all that and more. Shopbop calls them the "perfect antidote to fashion fatigue" but they seem like the designer was fatigued when designing these and wasn't sure what they wanted to design. I can't image these would look good on an actual person, what with the peep-toe and ankle strap on an what would have been a cute bootle. Made from treated canvas with wrinkled patent leather trim, these shoes will set you back $525 - not that I think there will be much of a demand for them.

Office's 'Needy Girl' brogue detail lace-up booties

needy-girl.jpgAre you a 'needy girl'? I mean, do you need these stiletto heeled booties from Office? I think I might, and even although the bootie trend should, by rights, be well and truly over by now, I'd be willing to make an exception to these, with their super high heels and natural leather. These would work really well with the safari trend that's popular for this summer, as the colour will look good with safari-style pieces, but that said, this is a colour that'll work with most things. If you're not sure, they're also available in black, for £60.

More reverse heels with Y-3's Phasma 90 stretch ankle boots

reverse-heel-boots.jpgReverse heels certainly aren't a new thing in the shoe world, but from the way they've started to pop up recently, you'd be forgiven for thinking that they were. These ones are by Y-3, and although they're calling them "wedges", I don't see a wedge on these ankle boots - instead, I see a curvy stiletto that should be attached to the heel, but which is attached to the sole, instead. Three stripes on the heel give them a slightly sporty look, but I wouldn't expect to run too fast in them. If you want to give it a try, they're $750 at eLuxury.
