12 days of Christmas: Day 9

This can't be the '12 days of Christmas' without including a post for my shoe-obsessed readers.



This Summer, shoes are getting lighter in colour (although I did add some black options for those of you who can't go past black), styles are changing, and more intricate designs are in.

Firstly, a tan wedge which is perfect because tan goes with most outfits, there is an element of practicality as this is a wedge, and the shoe has a zip-entry which gives the piece another interesting detail.

Next, is something for the colour lovers. For those of you who are choosing to wear block-colours over summer, this shoe is perfect to spruce up your outfit (please don't wear florals, prints or any patterns with these shoes!). The heel is nice and thick, an appropriate for those hot nights that you are catching up with your friends at the bar.

I have dubbed this shoe the 'Khloe Kardashian' shoe as not only did she 'design' it, but she wore it to her most recent trip to Melbourne. One thing I like to see when people put their names behind a product, is that they actually wear it - it shows that they do take some sort of interest in their label. Well Khloe rocked this shoe, and since, they have become the most talked about KK product on Instagram. For those of you who love stilettos, these higher-than-life shoes are most definitely for you. The front detailing on this shoe "is like literally to die" (translation from the Kardashian dictionary - amazing).

Kookai who are normally known for their 'Sky High' heels throughout the year, have brought out a leather shoe for Summer. I love this look (and it is even cuter in person). This can be worn with dresses, shorts, jumpsuits - you name it. This shoe brings an edgier, rock-chick look to your outfit.

Peeptoe have taken the traditional Summer shoe, the Gladiator and turned this into a heel - genius. These Gladdy's will have people's heads turning. Be sure to wear an appropriate length skirt/short with these heels (3/4 shorts with this shoe are out, and so are the butt-cheek hugging shorts).

Lastly, my summer sandles from Tony Bianco. Whatever size you are normally in shoes, go down a size as these shoes are made too big. Say bye-bye to basic flats this Summer, with these hardware-embellished babies. I had lots of Instragram comments, reposts and likes last time I wore these sandles.

So now you have 6 new shoe options to choose from when writing your Christmas list. My personal faves are the Kookai and the Khloe shoes - Santa, if you're reading, take note!
