SOTD: Purple Faux Suede Peep Toe Ballet Flats

If there can be an Outfit of The Day(OOTD) and other such variations; there can be SOTD as well! Says who?Well, I do. Today's 'Shoe of The Day' is a purple ballet flat with a bow. I don't fancy bows much but I do love purple. At one point, I had to tell my sister to not let me buy *anything purple* even if she had to snatch it from my hands(I am pretty sure she had fun doing it too!). Well, we were out shopping and it was one bright and extremely sunny morning and I was walking around in these. It was fine but narrow toes are *still* narrow and when I put my foot in these, it felt like heaven!
(Oh! If you've not heard me mention (more like scream) my shoe size, it is Europe 40/41, US 9.5/10, Indian/UK 7 but then it came with the height!)

Don't mind the sand, I 'd worn it outside and had not cleaned it afterward!!

Shoes That Make You Drool From the God Himself.

Everybody has a favourite designer and some lucky people can even afford them! I, regretfully don't belong to that category. According to me, Manolo Blahnik has no comparison when it comes to making shoes, his shoes are all  handcrafted and there is a long waiting list at the stores for popular products like the pumps made famous by Carrie Bradshaw in 'Sex And the City'.

These shoes were from what I remember $ 895. BG would like to sell them for $945 but they are currently out of stock!

Now, the shoes below have been chosen because it is winter and even if you cannot buy expensive shoes, you have to look at them and admire them and then frantically search for a look-alike (tell me if and where you find them)

These suede shoes are brown, they are also available in black and have 2.75 inch heel with shaft of 15".
Price:69,681 INR only

If you are done laughing at only, we move on to the next object of desire.

Again suede, it has a nice pink colour with kitten heels. I, personally, don't like snake, crocodile or skin of any other such animal. They freak me out!! I am kind of big on the leather alternative shoes and bags. They are, well, guiltless. But you can still admire the beauty and the craftsmanship of these shoes.

Price: INR 37396.28     
They are cheap for a Blahnik!

These are again suede and I just love this colour. This will brighten up any cold and dull night or any plain and dull dress( if you can afford it, that is!)

Price:32015 INR (cheap again, right? :P)

Now, we move on to nude pump slingbacks. These are SAKS EXCLUSIVE! (For those of us who cannot buy, this doesn't really make a difference, I know.)

 
Price: 39010 INR

Btw, for a change, I do know where you can buy a similar looking pair of shoes! Carlton london has just the shoe for somewhere around 2000 INR.

A snakeskin metallic shoe, it cannot be shipped to India. Like I said, it creeps me out but just the same a great looking pair of flat.

Price: 41162 INR


The list cannot be complete without anything red, hence, the next pair.

 I know I said the shoes are ones meant for winter but this red wedge is so cute and I love bows. I didn't like bows at all, some time ago but it is all changed now!
Price:32015.52 INR

 These are just so drool-worthy!!!! 


Price: 40624 INR

Now, it's black's turn. I know it's suede but I can't help it.

A pair of black kitten heel, it looks comfortable.


Price:37396 INR

Now, we on to my love at first sight! Pink coloured pumps which are not out, yet but can be pre-ordered from Saks website.

Aren't they gorgeous? 


Price: 32015 INR

Must-Have Shoes For Winters

I have always been a little more inclined towards buying shoes. You see, unlike clothes, your shoes never make you feel bad about gorging on junk food for the past week. They are just like your soul mate, except better, because they don’t ever talk back. Here are few of my suggestions that will see you through the winters-

• Black Pumps- Because they go with everything! They have to be comfortable, round or semi-rounded toes. You can also opt for open or peep-toes with square heel of a comfortable height or kitten heels. With these, you won’t ever look out of place anywhere. They’ll even save you from cracked heels.

                              

                                         Figure 1Yabbie From Carlton London Rs. 1995

• Nude/Red Flats- Red makes your feet look great but nudes will go with everything you might want to wear. Buy something which has a cushioned sole for comfort. Bows?Flowers?Crystals? Take your pick. You can buy them in any shade that you fancy like maroons, grays or blues but they will limit your choices.

                        

                                     Figure 2 Bea from Hush Puppies - $100

• Metallic Sandals- To team up with your dress, saree or whatever it is that you want to wear. They can be sequined or trimmed with satin in golden, silver or bronze shade. If you can find it, buy something with all the shades put together.

• Boots- They can be ankle length or knee length or hip- length. They save your feet from the cold and you can wear them in the day or at night. One downside? They won’t go with everything. Depending on your preference, you can buy the heels, wedges or flats variations.

                          

                                     Figure 4 AS MOTO BOOTS From Hush Puppies - $350

• Sneakers/Slip-ons- They have to be in some bright colour to make the dull winters appear brighter. They will keep the cold away, are comfortable and trendy.
