I have had friends over the years bemoan the fact that they don't want to wear stiletto heels or kitten heels or even high heels anymore. They want something with a bit of a heel, stylish but comfortable. As soon as you say comfortable you don't have to think Hush Puppies, (a UK brand of 'comfortable' shoes for the older lady, although they do some very stylish designs now.) The shoe you need to look for is a block heel shoe, and you're in luck as this summer there are a few styles and colours to choose from. These styles give you the added height you desire, but without all that unwanted pain, don't they sound and look perfect!

Shades of pink and animal print fun.

If you want to have a bit of fun with your look and add some colour or print, but don't know where to start, why not try a pop of pink or animal print on your feet? Hot pink, and blush tones, are hot for shoes right now and an animal print shoe is a fun way to jazz up your look without being too outrageous!

I love the hot pink slingbacks and the Mi Piaci animal print heeled sandal, team with jeans for a casual look or dress up with slim leg black pants to add that pop of colour.

If the thought of uncovering your feet for Spring fills you with horror, why not try a peep toe shoe, or a shoe with laser cut details, that just takes a peep at the foot beneath. I know I can't unveil my feet for Spring until I have treated myself with a pedicure. Laser cut refers to the way the leather/fabric has been cut with a laser, and there are some gorgeous styles out there. I have picked my favourite from a variety of stores.

While some of the shops begin to show their Spring collections, I think this time of year is a great time to invest in a pair of long boots, as a lot of styles are on sale now. August can be pretty chilly, and long boots are great with dresses and tights and over jeans. So I have checked out some of the sales and best over-the-knee and up-to-the-knee boots in black, shades of brown and grey.

Cotton On Bridget Flat over the Knee Boot $20.00, Merchant 1948 Legal Long Boot $299.90, Merchant 1948 Ethan Long Boot $219.00, Mi Piaci Envosa Long Boot $210.00.

Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are an autumn/winter wardrobe staple, and a black ankle boot will tie in with most of your outfits. Jeans, skinny trousers, skirts-short and long, and dresses, they can be a very handy item to have in your wardrobe. Of course a tan ankle boot is also a great addition to your shoe collection, but more about those in another post! Enjoy my picks from the shops. I have looked for suede, detailing and a boot that finishes at the ankle and is not too tight.

TOP ROW
Country Road Isabella Gusset Boot $229.00, Glassons Daily Ankle Boot $59.99, Witchery Sofia Boot $229.90.
MIDDLE ROW
Seed Heritage Abbey Ankle Boot $269.90, Country Road Rae Mid Heel Boot $259.00, Mi Piaci Genevieve Ankle boot $320.00.

I am on the look out for a new pair of sneakers as I have a more casual look during the week when I am not seeing clients. Also, sneakers are so versatile, you can wear them with jeans, skirts or even dresses if its the right style. They are of course also comfortable to walk around in and if you choose a sneaker that's a bit different it doesn't have to look boring or like you have given up on your look!!

DARK & VELVET'S
Witchery Navy Bronni Trainer $159.90, French Connection Cat Sneakers $99.90, Country Road Filipa Velvet Sneaker $89.90, Converse Chuck Taylor Dainty Metallic Top Black $81.82, Merchant Riley Velvet Sneaker $119.90.

Slipper Flats & Peep Toe Booties

I am on the hunt for a pair of Peep Toe Booties. I do love these blue suede Mi Piaci booties below but I am on the hunt for a pair of tan ones, as I feel you can team tan with more things. Unfortunately the Merchant tan booties are too high for me. Anyway, these are four of my favourites that I have come across in the shops, and these shoes/booties will take you through into Autumn as well.

Hannahs Svannt Shoe $49.95, Merchant 1948 Roosevelt High Heel $239.90, Mi Piaci Stanley Dress Sandal $250.00, Mi Piaci Freja High Heel $260.00

These slipper/mule/loafer/flat shoe, they are being described every which way by retail, were big news in Autumn/Winter for the Northern Hemisphere, and yes those Mi Piaci shoes are lined with New Zealand Sheepskin! Cool for summer and luxurious and warm for winter. I particularly love the bow detail on Witchery Petra Flat.

Witchery Petra Point Flat $159.50, Country Road Jess Flat Mule $169.00, Mi Piaci Cole Dress Flat $250.00,
Glassons Loafer Mule $59.99.

SHOES
I have to confess I am not a fan of heels. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE heels and think they do wonders for elongating your legs, it is more that I cannot wear them anymore due to the extra instability they induce in me. Also being a stay at home mum, I do not really have the occasion to wear them.

I do own a gorgeous pair of black suede, (with gold studs on the back), block heel Zara ankle boots, which I love, and when I am feeling brave or dressing-up I will resort to.

So.. I am always on the look out for gorgeous, dressy flats or low heeled shoes, so I may feature more of these than heels. But don't despair if your a heel devotee I promise to scour the shops to bring you the best on these too!!
