| Sophia Webster pop-up fruit and flower stall in Harrods |
On Monday, I took a tour of Harrods’ Shoe Heaven, it has been around a little while now but I hadn’t really had a decent look. For a shoe-lover, it really IS heaven.
 |
| Sophia Webster – Harrods are now the largest stockist |
 |
| THE Manolos…the ultimate wedding shoe (and there’s something quite special about the fact you can’t buy them online) |
 |
| A rainbow of Rockstud Valentinos… |
I’ve always been more a shoe person than a bag lady, and whilst walking around (and from Instagram comments), it made me realise that however many of us are on a budget, we would definitely bite the bullet if the right pair of shoes came along (for the right price, of course).
 |
| The Disney ‘Cinderella’ collection: Nicholas Kirkwood and Jimmy Choo |
Here I’ve rounded up a few key buys that I would love to spend my hard-earned wages on…and how I’d make them work into my frugal wardrobe.
The stand-out Dolce shoe
1. Sweater, £24.95, Gap
2. Pave bracelet, £19, Z for Accessorize
3. Skinny liquid eyeliner, £12, Eyeko
4. Wool skirt, £135, Iris & Ink
5. Leather mini duffle bag, £42, Next
6. Brocade sandals, £525, Dolce & Gabbana
The everyday Chloe espadrille
1. Denim jacket, £39.99, H&M
2. Sunglasses, £13, River Island
3. Straw bag, £59.50, J Crew
4. Dress, £49.99, Mango
5. Anklets, £6, Accessorize
6. ‘Alita’ suede espadrilles, £340, Chloe at Harrods
The Valentino super flat
1. Jumper, £95, Whistles
2. 9ct gold-plated sleeper earrings, £21.99, H Samuel
3. Leather clutch, £65, LK Bennett
4. ‘Hayden’ jeans, £42, Topshop
5. Lipstick in ‘Mango’, £21, Laura Mercier at Selfridges
6. ‘Rockstud’ flats, £580, Valentino at Harrods
And at this point, I feel it is also my duty to bring to your attention the entire S/S collection from Dune. Expensive looking espadrilles for a fraction of the price – this is where I’ll be heading come Spring…
 |
| ‘Lizzy’ mock-croc espadrilles, £110, Dune London |
And they do have a frugal version of the Manolo pumps for £89 (whilst we’re saving up for the originals)…
 |
| ‘Breanna’ shoe, £89, Dune |
Oh I adore the Dune espadrilles but did they still have to be £110? I need to get saving 🙁
My oh my….those Manolos! Love them.
Really need to update my shoe-drobe! I love the Rockstud flats! Need to visit the Harrods shoe heaven! ? x
Utter shoe heaven, it makes you feel so sophisticated wearing a beautiful pair of designer shoes, however due to my aversion to wearing heels unless no walking is required I want to be the Chloe girl with those espadrilles..gorgeous!!
I know…but I do think Dune is good quality…I'm obsessed with Asos and Next shoes at the moment – much more my budget!
Love Manolos…and love Manolo himself and his ethos – and that his aim is to create comfortable heels!
It's really gorgeous, feels very modern and fresh (which I must admit, not all of Harrods feels like!). the Rocstud flats are such an investment – I wanted some for my wedding evening but budget just didn't allow!
I will always be the one in flats….but I do appreciate a good heel – my wardrobe is still filled with ones I never wear!
