Ted Baker Luceey Court Shoe from Masdings

Spring has sprung and designer store Masdings are offering free delivery on all non-sale, new season items.  There is so much to choose from - Michael Kors dresses and bags, Maison Scotch blazers, 7 For All Mankind jeans, Vivienne Westwood earrings.

However, I've gone for these gorgeous Luceey stiletto court shoes by Ted Baker.  Feminine, floral prints are still very much on trend this season and the Ted Baker pattern is always classic but contemporary.  The golden heels give them a shimmering finish that makes any outfit sparkle, for any occasion.  They could be worn during the day, for a dressy yet casual look, worn with sharp tailoring for the office or teamed with a gorgeous dress for a classic evening look. These really are a worthy addition to one's footwear collection!  They are also the best value that I can find online.

A Great Cause: Ribbon Pink Patent Leather from Office for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I do like a charitable purchase.  And I do like a pair of killer heels.  So I am doubly excited when the two worlds collide to produce an amazing pair of stilettos like these Ribbon pink patent leather shoes from Office.  The colour is stunning, a simply perfect fuchsia pink.  Wear to work to brighten up monochrome office chic or wear out in the evening with a gorgeous dress.  They'd work for any special occasion.  They're £55, which I think isn't too bad - but a massive £40 plus VAT from each sale is going to Breast Cancer Care.  Brilliant!

Fantastic Footwear: Limited Edition High Heel Platform Court Shoes from Marks & Spencer

The Marks and Spencer summer sale just launched today, with up to 50% off loads of items.  It's a really good time to stock up on some good quality basics, but they also have some really nice, on trend pieces that will jazz up anyone's wardrobe!

These black and white limited edition platform court shoes are a great way to wear the leopard print trend in a subtle way.  They are really versatile and I feel could be worn in the day or evening.  I think they would look totally amazing though with neon or really bright colours - either a fantastic pencil skirt or some accessories.  The heel's quite high (about 10cm) but not too high, so they should be fine to walk in!  Just £9 (reduced from £19.50), they're still available in sizes 3 to 8, including half sizes.

Fantastic Footwear: Pointy Leopard Courts from Goddiva

It doesn't seem to me as though the trend ever really left, but it appears a key pattern for this autumn and winter is leopard print.  It may invoke images of bored, rich housewives of Beverley Hills or even a throwback to the 1980's, but it was spotted on the AW13 catwalks of Diane von Furstenberg, DKNY and Burberry Prorsum.

The key with this pattern is to keep it simple, elegant and as untacky as possible!  One key piece is all that's needed - for example, a bag, jacket or shoes.  And shoes are what I have found, from online fashion store Goddiva.   These leopard print court shoes are sophisticated yet sexy.  They would look amazing for an evening out, with a black pencil skirt and top or dress.
New customers can get 15% off their first order by signing up to the Goddiva newsletter, meaning that these shoes can be bought for £28.90 (instead of £34).

Fantastic Footwear: Senso Xavier Heeled Sandals at Allsole

I've been focusing on sensible shoes lately, so it's time for some less practical but gorgeous shoes!  Another sale I have been browsing is the Allsole shoes one, who've got some great brands on offer at fantastic prices.  I am taken with these Senso Xavier heeled sandals in neon yellow.  The whole package is bright, edgy and daring, from the fluorescent neon yellow colour, the leather and perspex material combination and the killer stiletto heel.

These could be worn for an evening out and I'd team with fairly neutral, darker colours and let the sandals do the talking.  I'm thinking a black pencil dress would look stunning and elegant - and maybe add a necklace and fab handbag.  The heel height isn't too massive and the ankle strap means that they should stay on the foot well, so they aren't completely impractical nor should be impossible to walk on!  And they will look sensational.

Originally £110, they are now £85 and still available in sizes 4, 5 and 6.  There's also free gel comfort pads with these by entering the code GELHEEL at the checkout.
Do you love these?  Do you hate them?  Let me know in the comments below!

Fantastic Footwear: LK Bennett Nina Peep Toe heels from Zalando

Zalando are currently running their designer sale, with reductions on a huge range of designer women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories. There's all sorts of labels in the sale such as Michael Kors, Orla Kiely, Missoni and Sass & Bide and items are up to 70% off.

I love these LK Bennett peep toe heels, which are reduced from £195 to £100 and available in sizes 4 to 9. The unique floral pattern looks hand-painted and it reminds me of beautiful Chinese blue and white porcelain.    I'd wear them out to dinner or for an evening party, but they would work equally well for a wedding or similar. Simply divine.

Fantastic Footwear: Menbur Malubi Peep-toe Heels from Zalando

I can't believe I missed these pastel blue satin peep-toe heels when researching my Great Gatsby Glamour post yesterday!  The sky blue of the shoe adds an element of colour to the neutral shades of the dresses really well and I love the diamante decorative jewel effect on the heel which takes it into a whole new glamourous dimension.  Perfect for the whole 1920's look!

They're currently on sale at Zalando - reduced from £90 to £65 with free delivery.

Team with the matching blue satin clutch for ultimate loveliness!  Don't forget, there's £5 off £50 spends at Zalando till the end of the month too.

The Look for Less: Summer Wedding Chic

Finally, the weather is improving and my thoughts are turning towards summer parties and weddings. I've been inspired by the lace dress from Planet that I spotted the other day to create an outfit on Polyvore that would be gorgeous for such occasions.  I believe the lilac accessories I have chosen compliment the delicateness of the lace but still add an elegant pop of colour.

Fantastic Footwear: Louise Roe Tallulah Multi Strap Platform Sandal from StylistPick

StylistPick is an online boutique aiming to combine a customised styling service with the ease of shopping online. Customers register for the site and each month will be sent a personalised showroom of accessories to suit their style.   

There are some lovely items on the site, but I have fallen in love with these purple, coral and peppermint green colour block platform sandals by Louise Roe.  They are so pretty and will add the wow factor to any outfit - I would wear fairly neutral clothing and let the shoes do the talking!  These shoes are £40 with free delivery (and returns, if necessary) but all new customers get 25% off their first order as standard.


Another benefit of the site is that customers can create a fashion profile, to get ideas of what new pieces they may like and will suit - always helpful!

Stunning Shoes: Gucci Black T-bar Peep-toe Heels from Secretsales.com

Secret Sales is a private sales website that offers high end products from leading brands at affordable and discounted prices.  Six new sales are launched every day and categories include fashion, accessories, beauty and homeware.  Sales last between 2-4 days and items can be discounted by up to 70%, so you need to be quick to snap up the best buys.  Brands they have hosted include Chanel, Maurice Lacroix, Gucci, Victoria Beckham and Dior.  You have to register for the site - either via the normal way or through Facebook - but once you do, you'll get an early daily email of what sales have launched. Additionally, if you successfully refer a friend, you'll get a £10 credit to your account which is always handy!

Speaking of Gucci, there's some fab shoes available on the site. I adore these suede t-bar heels with an RRP of £661 but can be bought from the site for £319.  Timeless, quality, gorgeous and 52% off.  Brilliant!  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) there's only one left and it isn't my size.  But there is still a decent range of Gucci styles and sizes still there....!
