Zara slingbacks 95mm in beige with glitter bows

 I was never going to buy shoes from Zara again after a few pairs of very uncomfortable mistakes but I couldn’t walk away from these. Love the color schemes and the glitter bows. They were intended for a Barbie themed dinner but it got cancelled and I never got a chance to wear them. One day!

Amina Muaddi Giorgia Crystal ankle straps 95mm in black suede and diamonds

One of the most beautiful shoes I have seen. My first pair of Amina Muaddi. The bling is out of this world. The footbeds are slightly too wide for me though. Buy half size down.

Rupert Sanderson Majuba wedges 95mm in metallic cork

So this is it.  My funkiest pair of shoes ever!  Thank you Mr. Sanderson!  When I saw them I could not believe how fun they are.  They have so many busy details and yet everything goes really well together.      Who has parrots on shoes and look good?   The fuchsia straps are just icing on the cake too.  I can just sit and look at these shoes forever.   As an added bonus they are the most comfortable shoes too.  True to size.

Christian Louboutin You You 95mm in black patent

Another classic and basic Louboutin which would go with everything.  The usual sexy and comfortable Louboutin shape and cut.  A good addition to the collection.  Buy half size up. 

Jimmy Choo sandals 95mm in beige patent

I came across these at a sale and I thought why not.  They are so neutral and versatile they would pretty much go with everything.  They are comfortable (good enough for a garden party!).  I do wonder if the leather is starting to deteriorate as it's getting quite sticky. True to size.

Giorgio Armani sling backs 95mm in black leather and elastics

They used to be my trusty date shoes.  I am actually surprised to find out that the heels are 95mm as you don't feel the height at all.  The straps and elastics are also very comfortable (and they stay on!).  True to size.

Marc Jacobs peep-toe pumps 95mm in pink and black leather

I love love love these shoes.  They are so delicately made with so much details it's unlike the usual Marc Jacobs creations.  I can't tell you how soft the leather is.  Usually my toes get sore easily from peep-toe shoes but never with these.  A very special find.  True to size.

L.K. Bennett sling backs 95mm in black satin and leather

These used to be my rainy-day shoes.  They are steady and sturdy enough to stand up in the rain.  And I don't feel bad about them getting wet as they are not very delicate to begin with.  I like the simple no-frill look and they go with everything!  The straps in the front are a bit hard but tolerable.  True to size.

Kate Spade ankle straps 95mm in zebra-print pony hair

Again the fitting seems a little off but at least the comfort level is acceptable.  I have to be careful what to wear with them as the zebra print at the back of the shoes are getting a bit messy and I think my jeans did it.  True to size.

Manolo sling backs 95mm in black patent

I wanted some basic black slingbacks and bought these as I thought what could go wrong with Manolos?  Well in this case quite a lot.  My feet can't seem to stay in place when I have these on.  The centre of balance seems to be off.  The leather on the back of one of the slingbacks is also coming off after a couple of wears.  Disappointing as I certainly expected a bit more from Mr. Blahnik! True to size.

Kate Spade slingbacks 95mm in black and white fabric

They had to be my most playful pair of shoes so far.  Love the whimsical details.  I think they would look really good with a simple 50s-inspired dress.  They are the type of shoes which you can just sit and stare at forever, just to take in all the details.  The only problem - which is quite a fundamental one - the sling backs don't stay on very well.  It's quite embarrassing to have to pull the straps up every few meters.  I don't know why I kept buying Kate Spade shoes when they prove to be uncomfortable time after time.  Sort out your fitting please Kate Spade!  True to size.

Prada pumps 95mm in burgundy suede

Vintage Prada, at least 12 years old. They were my first pair of Prada and I loved the clean-cut heels and the simple design.  They seem all around too chunky for recent trends but I still like the way they shape up my feet.  Will keep these in my closet until chunky comes in fashion again!  True to size.

Beatrix Ong crystal ankle straps 95mm in pink leather

I had to have these shoes when I saw them.  I love the way the crystals drape on foot, which has that Moulin Rouge feel to it.  They are still sitting in my closet brand-new as I have no idea what to wear them with.  True to size.

Manolo strappy sandals 95mm in neon yellow leather

These shoes are still brand new and they have been sitting in my cabinet for 4 years at least. The color is tricky and I don't seem to wear anything short (which I think would go with strappy sandals). That aside the leather is the softest there is available to mankind, it makes 95mm of height seems nothing. How do they do it? Trues to size.

Jimmy Choo sling backs 95mm in fuchsia-pattern satin and white leather trimmings

I only got to wear these once, as I actually find them difficult to pair with my outfits. I never anticipated the problem but reality is they seem too busy for my outfits as they have too many colors and details. Perhaps they will work well with white but it's the one color I don't wear often. Oh well I'm sure I will find something in the future. True to size.

Chanel sling backs 95mm in beige suede

I don't think much about these shoes to be honest but they were on sale so here we are. The small wedge heels are a little too chunky looking to my taste but I guess they make the shoes a little more causal but unique looking at the same time. The little CC logo at the back is nice too and the color makes them pretty versatile. Leather is very soft and comfortable. True to size.

Manolo very strappy sandals 95mm in gold leather

I was really worried about the clear vinyl straps before the first extended wear. It turns out they were really soft and comfortable to the feet after all. Unfortunately I only got to wear these once before I totally destroyed the heels. My best friend and I thought it would be a good time to do some pole dancing on stage that night. And the stage had metal-grid flooring. Ooops! At least we had a great time. Maybe it is time to say goodbye to them since I don't think they can be fixed. True to size.

Manolo ankle straps 95mm in orange leather

I suspect these are made with lambskin as they are the softest leather I've seen. Love a few things about these: the intricate strap design, the contour-cut ankle straps, and the fact that they fit like gloves. The darker orange shade makes it pretty unique but still easy to pair with different outfits. True to size.

Petra Firenze sling backs 95mm in gold leather

Love the green beads and the very fine and delicate straps. They are pretty comfortable to walk in even though the straps are so fine. I regret not buying the silver version with grey beads at the time. Shape wise they are not as pretty as Choos' slingbacks, but they were very reasonably priced.
