Black crystal

I love these. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still not completely on board with the pin needle heel. But these, these I can stand the sight of. I might even allow them on my own feet. That said, these aren't any plain old pair of pin needle heels though. These Giuseppe Zanotti booties are completely covered in black crystals, which is the main reason why I like them so much. Because, you know, I rarely meet a stud or a crystal I don't like.

These booties will remain the subject of my dreams however, as The Outnet is still charging €598 for them (as opposed to the original €1195, but still way too much for my budget) and most sizes are completely sold out. If you can't say no to these though, feel free to splurge on them here.

I'm not the biggest fan of the use of perspex in shoes, but these I think are gorgeous. Louboutin has been really hitting the mark lately, and I've been anxiously awaiting the annual Louboutin sale on The Outnet. Last year I missed it, thinking it wasn't going to happen anymore, as it was in August the year before. And then came one of our national bank holidays in November, so I slept in, and of course that's when the sale hit the interwebs. I was left empty-handed, but I'm very adamant to score some this year!

While these are certainly stunning, I think a more neutral and timeless model is more appropriate for a first pair of Loubs. And, as we're being honest (always!), a bit easier on the bank account as well.

For €865 you get to admire this stunning crystal detail on your feet everyday, so if you can justify such a purchase, please do! I'll just go sit in the corner here being jealous of you!

Dream

I have died and gone to heaven. Or at least I'm dreaming, because these might be the most perfect shoes I've ever laid my eyes on.

Even the soles are entirely covered with pink crystals! And look, bows!

These Dolce & Gabbana beauties currently 50% off at Net à Porter, but at  $2,287.50 they'll forever still remain a dream, I'm afraid.

These are pretty awesome. If they weren't slightly over my budget at the moment, they would've already been on my feet right now. Also, I love the name. Personally, I have no idea who "Chloe" from CJG is, presumably someone British, but I do think she draws a nice shoe. Because of the black, these look so understated, while in fact the amount of detail is amazing.

I can totally see myself rocking out in these with some bright coloured tights to show through the slits, and the crystals make these very nighttime, which I like. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't dare pair them up with a white summerdress as well, because you just know that I would. If you're luckier than me and have £175 lying around that you don't have to spend on an iPod and new running shoes (the worst kind of shoes to spend money on), go here to grab a pair.

Bedazzlement

Nothing to start a fresh week than a pretty pair of heels to get the mood going. The gorgeous ruby shoes, with crystals and all. So so pretty. A platform like that, not to mention the 6 inch heel, won't be for everyone, but these would make for a jawdropping evening shoe to compliment even the most boring of dresses. They are appropriately called Glace Cherry, and unfortunately cost no less than €172.

I have been drooling over the Kandee brand for quite a while now, since they specialise in bright, bold colours, which just so happens to be my biggest weakness. Heels and eye-popping colours, how can I possibly resist? Well, I have succeeded in doing so, but only because the crunchy peanut booties sold out almost instantly in the sale. I do love these Orange Sours as well, and at a pretty good price actually (€59), but helas, no more money for shoes this month. I will be strong. If you won't, go check out their shoe candy here.
