SHINE FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR SHOES


I for one am a lover of a statement shoe so what could be better than a metallic flatform brogue!?....well nothing actually. I got mine a little while ago and bloody love them. I wore them to a bloggers event last weekend and got lots of amazing comments on them. So I thought I'd do a little post on them and share with you where to get yourself some of the action. 

Metallised Brogues with Jute Soles  Stradivarius  £35.99

I really love the jute detailing around the sole on these ones which I think softens them up a little bit. I was also swayed by the brogue stitching effect on them which makes them look more expensive than they are. They're comfortable and having spent all day on my feet at the event in them I can say that with some conviction. *They come up true to size. 

My Look

Leather Effect Jacket  Zara  £49.99
Daisies Dress  Zara  £25.99
Cami  Primark  (old)
Geometric Bucket Bag with Braided Handle  Zara  £29.99
Shoes (as above)

My look for the event was my version of smart/casual. I love putting items together that others maybe wouldn't and in doing so making items like this tea dress a little more 'edgy' -if you will. They are also perfect for updating a casual everyday look with ripped jeans. And of course you're always that little bit taller which is never a bad thing.

Indium Elyse Star Shoes  Stella McCartney  £630.00

So where did all the shiney shoe inspiration come from? In the last couple of years flatforms have been spotted on the Prada and Stella McCartney runways and more recently they went metallic. My ones are based more on the 'Stella McCartney Elyse' lace-up platform shoe. But both styles have been spotted on fashionistas and have become a style staple for so many. Mostly because of there versatility to go with just about everything and anything. 

If the designer price tag is slightly out of your reach though then fear not, the high street is coming up trumps for us mere mortals. 


Silver Metallic Flatform Star Pumps  Lasula  £40.00

If you're looking for amazing copies of 'those' Stella McCartney ones then these ones from Lasula are the ones for you. For just £40.00 the attention to detail is fabulous on them.

Metallic Flatform Bluchers  Zara  £29.99
Platform Oxford Shoes  H&M  £29.99
Silver ow Heel Brogue Shoes  KG Kurt Geiger  £110.00
Metallic Flatform Shoe  Pull & Bear @ ASOS  £35.99

So don't leave your feet in the dark. Wear with dresses for any occasion, night or day. Dress up your basics during the week and watch the compliments fly in. No one can ignore these shoes, believe me.
