Classic Chanel design, simple and effective. Goes with many things. Buy half size up.
The reason
I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

Valentino pumps 100mm in black suede
They are my winter favourites these days. Nice shape, great support and they go with everything from jeans to dresses. I even bought another pair in grey to try on but ended up returning them. Somehow the heels look too clunky in lighter shade. Shame. True to size.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Bazin pumps 100mm in multicolor patent
Another pair of Pigalle. The multi-color orange print is actually more difficult to pair than I thought. Jeans or black i think. :-) Official color is pompadour. Buy half or one size up.
Christian Louboutin Iriza d'orsay pumps 100mm in blue patent
My second pair of Iriza, this time in a cool silvery metallic blue. Official color is Everest Metal - sounds much better than my description. The usual Iriza fit with good toe cleavage. The color gives out a cool vibe. One of my favourites. True to size.
Valentino Rockstud pumps 85mm in nude leather
My attempt to have shoes at a more friendly height so I can wear them all day and night. However it's not happening with these shoes. They have to be one of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had, even at 85mm. They compare to my Zara-shoe nightmares. I have tried them on 3 times now and each time my feet would become ever so painful. Will avoid Valentino heels from now on.
Aquazzura Forever Marilyn pumps 85mm in black suede
A classic Aquazzura design, with new color, height, and material each and every season. Im not a big tassels person but these seem cute. Love the cut-out heels too. Even thought at 85mm the silhouette seems a lot taller. The usual comfortable Aquazzura last and support. True to size.
Salvatore Ferragamo Arezzo block-heel pumps 80cm in purple suede
It's been a while since the last time I bought Ferragamo shoes. I had a couple pairs of ballerinas during my pregnancies and got so sick of them after. I happened to be in the shop to look at ties and spotted them. They come in many different colors from the regular black to vibrant pink, orange, blue and even mirror silver and gold. At the end it was down to coral/orange or purple, and I went with the brighter purple. They look and fit nicely and they add a casual vibe to dresses. And you can spot them from 3 blocks away! I wish the heels are not as chunky but I guess they are the key to keep the look casual. Buy half size up.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps 85mm in black patent
I am compromising - must be getting old! I do enjoy the 85mm comfort for day time wear. They don't look as nice but my feet are grateful. Pigalle could easily be the best-looking 85mm available so I shouldn't complain. Buy one size up.
Valentino Tango block-heel pumps 60mm in red patent
I did it! I finally got a pair of Tango. I was hoping to get a pair with ankle straps but then I came across these and they look and fit fab! They will be a good replacement of the experimental pair I got earlier. As much as I like the previous pair I can not stand non-leather insoles. True to size.
Rupert Sanderson Malory 100mm in shatter honeydue
Another purchase in the irresistible online sale. While I love the color I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the cut. The usual signature low curvy vamp is nowhere to be seen! The toe compartment seems a bit deeper than usual too. I guess they will at least be comfortable. Buy half size up.
Rupert Sanderson Nada pumps 80mm in glitter delta gold
My second pair of Nada. I bought the first pair not knowing for sure if I would get a lot of wear. They were on sale and I thought why not. They turned out to be extremely versatile and I basically wore them to death. Literally. When the Sanderson sale began it was time to grab another pair. They are very comfortable and I love the vamp and fit. Glitter pink was also available and I wish I had gotten those instead of gold. Buy half size up.

Bottega Veneta Bette d'orsay pumps 100mm in blue black red patent
My first ever pair of shoes from Bottega Veneta. Very excited to try them in the winter. I envision a perfect match with these and my purple trench coat. Let's see. Love the d'Orsay design and the slightly chunkier heels, somehow they feel very retro. The signature weave print and high-gloss finish also make them very captivating. The straps are also an unusual arrangement but they look surprisingly well on my feet. Hope they are comfortable as well! Buy half size up.
Repetto Camille block-heel pumps 35mm in orange patent
At long last I found a pair of Repetto at the outlet in my size and in the color which I like! They are obviously another find for my current block heel obsession. They go nicely with cropped pants or jeans. Buy half size up. Love the shallow toe compartment and the snug fit. Hope they are as comfortable as people say they are. Official color is Kiss.

Gianvito Rossi Sofia ankle strap pumps 105mm in black and beige fabric
Another pair of Gianvito Rossi shoes I found at the outlet sale. They seem very similar to Gia except for the slightly thicker ankle straps. Since they were cheap plus I would get an extra quantity discount so I thought why not. Nice fit and support. True to size.

Gianvito Rossi Gia ankle-strap pumps 105mm in black patent
I have been looking for a pair of ankle wrap pumps for a while. Can take Louboutin's Uptown off my watch list now that I have found these. They are my first pair of Gianvito Rossi and they feel quite promising. The workmanship and fit seem superb and consistent with the Rossi legacy. Feeling chuffed too because I found them at an outlet for a fraction of the original price. Buy one size up.
Jimmy Choo Billie block-heel pumps 65mm in glitter
Another pair of block heels as I just couldn't say no to glitter. Love how they look with jeans, but it may be a little tricky to match them with other things. Official color is camellia mix, but it's a silver glitter with a slight pink tint. Buy one size up.

Bershka block-heel pumps 50mm in red fabric
The search for block heels was over finally over. I no longer need to hunt down a pair of Valentino Tango after I got these. Love the color and the shape. They go effortlessly well with my cropped jeans, and many other pieces from my wardrobe. They seem reasonably comfortable, although I wish they come in half sizes as mine get a bit tight on a hot day. Not really complaining given the very reasonable price point. Buy half size up.
Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps 100mm in beige patent
Another pair of Pigalle Follies in nude to add to the collection. Still love the shallow toe cap and vamp. Buy one size up.

Christian Louboutin Ticopump pumps 100mm in blue suede
I suppose it's not always about glitter. I have solid and normal looking shoes in my collection too. The usual Louboutin fit and shape. They feel very similar to Elisa, except the heels are a little different. Great buy on sale! Buy half size up.
Christian Louboutin Iriza pumps 100mm in glitter
I stepped in the shop to dodge the rain, and I got out with the best shoes (not necessary very friendly for day-to-day use). Oh well. Glitter, pointy, d'Orsay. I could not resist. Love the minimal toe coverage too. It's a pointy version of Helmour. True to size.
