I love Fridays, but I love Christian Louboutin shoes even more - so I simply couldn't resist combining the two and bringing you these two classic and wonderful shoes from the King of Heels, both of which have recently been re-launched.
Louboutin has said that both iconic styles - which were partly responsible for sending his career into orbit - were influenced by Princess Diana, because he always wanted her 'to have love at her feet'. It's an adorable sentiment, but my only concern with actually wearing these would be the amount of foot-love bordering on worship they might invite...

Brit designer and Shoewawa fave Rupert Sanderson took inspiration from all round the globe to design his latest collection, but when it came to the heels, he needed to look no further than the kitchen table: they're fashioned to look just like the handle of a Gio Ponti fork!
Sanderson is known for his almost 'architectural' style, but the heels on these shoes take the look further, appearing to be 'broken' while giving a perfect balance. The entire range, which I can see gaining cult status, will be available online here.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a pair of sparkling red ruby slippers?
Many a designer has been inspired by Dorothy's shoes over the years and the look is one that pops up almost every winter. But these are particularly wonderful in that they've been hand-made to be perfect replicas of the shoes worn by Judy Garland, and it's obvious from the close-up that a huge amount of care and attention has gone into sewing on those sequins.
If you'd like to be seen in a pair like this in time for the Christmas bash, you'll have to put in an order now: they're made by Cybertosh who's based in New Mexico and sells her wares on Etsy. All you need do is provide her with your shoe size and $99!

Being a tad vertically challenged I avoid ankle straps like the plague and gravitate towards slingbacks, peep-toes and shoes that show off plenty of foot-flesh.
So I almost K.O'ed with excitement when I came across this gorgeous pair of Kurt Geiger shoes -they tick all my leg-lengthening boxes! And they're pink! Yay!
Simple, yes but they look amazing on and the classic shape flatters feet a treat. Wear them with a frock for maximum impact and accessorise with a big cocktail! These are the epitome of girly glamour and so pretty I reckon Carrie Bradshaw would love them. If she were real. She's a bit like Santa for women -you just want to believe she exists!

Got $1045 knocking around to spend on shoes? You could do worse than to plough it into these statuesque Pearl pumps by Chanel, which have been released as part of the label's exclusive Paris-Moscou collection, designed by Karl Largerfeld.
The satin and patent evening pumps with their fine pearl trim are the very picture of sophistication and epitomise the label's understated allure. Keira Knightley is the proud owner of a pair and the shoes are already achieving instant classic status.

It's been over six months ago now since Kim said it had been ages since we featured Minnetonka boots/moccasins here on Shoey (um, did you follow that?) Funnily enough, here we are again with the same sentiment really - but these shoes really do just keep on trucking on!
Still spotted on the likes of Kate Moss, Chloe Sevigny and Sienna Miller on a fairly regular basis, the Minnies (as we affectionately... er,just decided to call them right this minute) are the types of footwear which seem to just keep on transcending trends. Right in time for the festival season, Net-a-Porter have acquired themselves quite a collection, including, by the looks of it, the same pair Kate was seen wearing back in October.

Sex and the City fans will no doubt remember the episode in season four when Carrie went rummaging in Vogue's fashion cupboard and discovered what she called an "urban shoe myth."
That myth was Manolo Blahnik's "Campari" black patent Mary Janes, and they're about to hit London again, according to the designer. "It started off with the idea of a children's Mary Jane, but then I made it sexy; pointed toe, high heel - and in black patent with grosgrain trim!" he said of the shoe. They're available from the Manolo Blahnik's London flagship store for £400. Visit www.manoloblahnik.com [Source]
