Gucci @ Clarks

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I love Clarks for heels that I can live in without breaking my feet while also looking good! I saw these ages ago and resisted them but then I found them in the sale for £25 and I had to get them. They remind me of the Gucci heeled loafer. They are the Gabriel Soho 70s Heeled Loafer.

I absolutely love the shape, the burgundy snakeskin and the chunky heel. Together I think they make a beautiful and unique show that works all year!

I have get so many comments when I wear these, they are definitely a great addition to my show collection and one I know will last.

Faux Suede Ankle Boots

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I recently discovered the brand Deichmann and have to say was so impressed with the range of shoes and boots at very reasonable prices. I picked up two pairs of the same faux suede ankle boots and they have been my go to boots for the past few months. They are the Graceland ankle boots (£24.99 each) in black and taupe. The heel is 8.5cm but so comfortable I have walked miles in these and not felt anything!

The Faux-Gucci Loafer

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I have been drooling over the Gucci loafer (in fact all Gucci shoes recently)! I am not major flat shoes fan but these just really appealed to me.

I finally found a “high street” dupe for a LOT less than the £400 for the original in Asos for £35!

I love these shoes, they are perfect shape (long on the foot?! and gold hardware of course!). I did size up to a 7 as the 6 were just a bit too snug.

I love these and will be living in them until they die on me.

Dalmatian Print Shoes?!

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

Yes its Clarks again! I don’t trust any other brand to make affordable, comfortable yet beautiful shoes! These were a lucky find in the sale reduced from £55 to £35.

I love the navy blue Dalmatian print it is just so unique yet wearable! I also love the chunky heel.

The Metallic Court

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I am sure everyone knows how much I love Clarks shoes (see here). When they get it right its the perfect combination of beauty and comfort. These metallic silver court shoes are a perfect example of that. They are stunning and extremely comfortable and reasonably priced at £60.

They are very very flattering and go with everything!

Summer Blush Pointed Flats

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

Continuing my pink shoes theme I couldn’t resist this super cute pair of pointed ballet flats from Topshop (£12 reduced from £18).

They are so flattering, go with everything and of course super comfortable! Perfect addition to my spring/summer wardrobe.

Pink Heels

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I love the Dune Christina heels but at £89 I can never fully justify them, but then during one of my late night Asos browsing sessions I came across this pair that are not only exactly the same style but in a gorgeous dusky pink (even better than black, grey or red in my opinion!).

These are the Solar Lace-Up Pointed Heels (£32) in Pale Pink.

I love the lower heel height (4cm) which makes them much more wearable for me on a daily basis.

Silver Shoes?

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I didn’t know if I could get away with silver flat shoes, but then Clarks came out with this gorgeous t-bar pair (Taylor Palm £45) and I fell in love!

They are so cute and the slightly matt silver leather makes them extra special! They look really good with loads of different outfits. I know these will really come into their own in the summer (or on holiday) so I am super pleased to have them ready and waiting for the sun (whenever that comes!).

Public Desire

Posted in Shoes by chitrasthings

I already own a couple of over the knee boots from Duo (see here and here), but as the trend lives on I decided I wanted to get a pair that wasn’t quite an investment but a seasonal piece – enter Public Desire. A bloggers favourite this website does such funky trendy shoes at very very reasonable prices.

I found these gorgeous grey flat over the knee boots there for £39.99 . I have to say I wasn’t expecting much given the price but I was wrong! These look like real suede and fit like a glove.

One of my major issues is skinny calves so most boots are just baggy and look awful – these are a slim fit and have ties to keep them up – genius!!

I have had so many compliments on these boots and am definitely contemplating the heeled version next!!

I absolutely love this Willow Cashmere chunky knit wrap with suede fringe (£235)..I know at that price I can keep dreaming!
