The Shoe Fix: Get The (Electric) Blues

Blue is the colour at the moment, particularly in vivid electric hues making these shoes a wardrobe essential for any savvy fashionista. Their thick cut-away detail allows you to flash your feet flesh and the slim stiletto heel has fabulous sex appeal. This is the kind of shoe with a high cost-per-wear value as they will retro-up jeans, skirts, shorts and trousers quicker than Sony can release yet another 'Best of the 80s' compilation CD! They are now down to just £31.00 from ASOS so it's a buy now or regret it later kind of a deal!

The Fashion Feed: Go Graeco!

Go Grecian by BradshawsCloset featuring Monsoon bracelets

Grecian style is a favourite of every goddess to grace the red carpet and this week we're looking at how to recreate the Hollywood Graeco look on a budget.


For full on glamour at a ball, opening or opera night opt for a one shoulder dress with flattering, flowing lines. I love this New York Fashion Week inspired red maxi dress by Goddiva. Its hour glass shape is designed to flatter curves and at just £34.99 it is a total style steal.


This hip hellenistic ring is also on my Grecian wish list as it's such a versatile accessory. It would look fabulous with the Goddiva dress or as a Graeco-inspired addition to a vintage look. The ring is currently available at ModCloth for $11.99 making it the perfect fashion find for fashionistas on a budget.


When it comes to shoes you really can't go wrong with these Gladiator-esque sandals. It wasn't so long ago that they were featured as our Monthly Shoe-Fix and they haven't lost any of their shine 6 weeks later. They cost just £34.50 from asos so get them whilst you still can!

The Shoe Fix: The Movie Mexicoma Must-Haves

Few of us are going to forget that gorgeous block colour dress Carrie wore during her Sex and the City Movie Mexicoma and these colour stacked sandals from Nine West are just the ticket to emulating her hippified, holiday style. The shoes are made of leather and are high enough to give a pair of jeans or a floaty dress a serious edge for Summer 2009. They are currently priced at £65.00 and are available at a range of stockists including Nine West directly in the USA and Shoe Studio in the UK. Don't be afraid to clash them unashamedly with other colours in your wardrobe as mix and match fashion is so this season!

The Shoe-Fix: Block Coloured Beauties

Ever since Carrie wore her famous block colour dress during her silver screen Mexicoma we have been blogging furiously about multi-colour trend. With this in mind we simply couldn't resist making these gorgeous peep-toe affairs our Monthly Shoe Fix. The gorgeous grey, white and pink contrast is sophisticated enough for office day wear but could also easily funk up an LBD or evening dress.

There's nothing less attractive than a woman who can't actually walk in her shoes but that won't be a problem with these little beauties. As well as ticking every aesthetic box going these shoes are built for comfort with a nice mid-range court heel. Possibly the best thing about these shoes however is the price. They cost just £30.00 from Dorothy Perkins. Other leading stores are selling block colour items for over double this price so snap up these retro-look shoes whilst there are still some left to be had!

The January Shoe Fix: Epic Gladiator Footwear

Caged shoes are so Sex and the City, but most of the high street stores are selling theirs for over £60.00 leaving any cash-strapped shoe lovers having to do without gladiator-esque footwear.

We didn't take those high-cost price tags lying down however, oh no. We believe that women everywhere have the right to own the latest shoes and thus have endured an online quest of epic proportions to hunt down the cheapest and chicest gladiator sandles.

There is hope even in this bleak, economically challenged world of owning footwear that will turn heads. At just £34.50 these designer look metallic stripe sandles from Asos will put the world to rights once more and allow women from all walks of life to cage their feet Carrie style. As long as there are reasonably priced shoes in the shops, there is justice in the world!
