Shoe of the Week

Now that Perth, is finally cooling down, I thought it was time to pull out my Winter clothes and my favourite ankle boots, for the season.

My Shoe of the Week is 'Alias' by Sempre Di. This is my first and only pair of Sempre Di shoes and all I can say is... I want more. 

Wearing: Cue coat / Cue skirt / Cue accessories / Witchery handbag / Sempre Di heels

I bought these shoes back in early March, when Winter shoes started arriving in stores. I have held onto them, for months but now that the weather is cooling down, I can finally step out, in my favourite ankle boots.

These ankle boots are perfect in every way. I love how incredibly comfortable they are and how versatile they will be throughout Winter. The leather is durable against the rain and they are perfect for keeping my feet toasty warm and dry during Winter.

I am a lover of thin, stiletto heels but every now and again, I am thankful for chunky heels. These boots are very comfortable to wear all day and the chunky heel makes them easy to walk in.

Another feature of the boot that I love, is the cut out details on the side. Sometimes ankle boots can make your legs appear shorter. But, with these cut out details, they elongate your silhouette, so you won't have to worry about that!

I have worn these boots with everything. Dresses, skirts, jeans, shorts and I cannot get enough of them.

Shoe of the Week #5

My shoe of the week is 'Esther' by Siren.

I have to admit, this shoe was an impulse purchase. I was browsing the sale shoes when I stumbled upon this style. This style definitely caught my attention but it was the sale price that sold me. $49.95 for a pair of suede platform high heels... Who could say no?

Aside from the price, I like the colour of these shoes. They are a great colour for spring and summer. They look great with neutral outfits as a colour accent or as a contrast with other spring colours. 

The heel of the shoe is also very different. I own many chunky heeled shoes, but this is my first square based heel. The height of the heel is great. For me, the higher the better! The platform makes the style more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.

The ankle strap is also very feminine, flirty and fun to wear! This style would be the perfect heel to wear for a Sunday afternoon with the girls!

I am definitely glad I bought this style. I practically saved money buying them!! :P

Shoe of the Week #3

Tony Bianco is one of my favourite shoe designers in Australia. Mainly because the shoes are comfortable, great quality and affordable. I own more Tony Bianco shoes then any other designers.

My shoe of the week is 'Milly' by Tony Bianco.

I bought these shoes while on a holiday in Melbourne. The first thing that caught my attention, was the colour. The blue is bright and vibrant and perfect for summer. It's also great for adding a splash of colour during winter. 

Coloured shoes are a great addition to any shoe collection, as they brighten up your wardrobe. They are also great for personalising your outfit. I normally wear this style as a colour accent with my neutral outfits.

I also love the heel on this shoe. The platform takes away some of the height, while still maintaining the illusion of a high heel. This combination makes the style more comfortable and easier to walk in.

The ankle strap is very feminine and the style looks great with dresses and skirts during summer or trousers and jeans during winter.

I enjoy wearing this style when I need a bit of brightness in my day.

The Heel Files

The choice of women's shoes can be very overwhelming and confusing for some. They come in many different styles, colours, textures and heel types. The below is a selection of the common heel types available and how to determine what style is what.

Stiletto Heel: This is my favourite heel type. This style of heel is extremely feminine and really elongates your legs and defines your calf muscles. A stiletto is a long, thin heel, usually higher than two and a half centimetres, with a diameter of less then one centimetre at the base. 

Kitten Heel: These are a great style when you're first starting out with high heels. They are also a great style to wear, when you'll be on your feet for an extended period of time but still want the glamour, of a high heel. A kitten heel is, traditionally a short, slim heel, with a maximum heel height of two and a half centimetres.

Chunky/Stacked Heel: This style is fast becoming popular. This is similar to a stiletto heel, with a minimum heel height of two and a half centimetres, however, the diameter of the heel at the base, is more than two centimetres. The chunky heel, can be more comfortable and stable to wear then the stiletto heel, while still maintaining the height.

Wedge Heel: This is a very comfortable style, as it supports your weight over the entire foot. The wedge heel occupies the entire space under the arch of your foot. This shoe style is very slimming for women with chunky legs and clearly defines your calf muscles. There are also many styles of wedges to choose from, in many different materials ranging from casual canvas to more stylish satin. 



Heels are an essential accessory for all women. They are extremely feminine and can do wonders for your self esteem and confidence.
