The Shoe Project: Dip Dyed Shoes.

Clearly, Tie-Dyes and Dip-Dyes are all around, from the catwalk to the highstreet and in your own home! It is a harp back to childhood, and I have to say I’m not a fan of traditional tie dye clothing techniques. I can also safely say I’ve never once worn tie-dyed clothing and I really hope [...]

I don’t understand why these shoes aren’t selling in my store. I think I’ve sold literally 2 pairs since they arrived a few weeks ago. The heel height is perfect and they look so pretty with dresses and [...]

Firstly, I want to look at the price-point of these new shoes – its slightly overpriced, even by Topshops standards; and especially since the prices had gone down too. Rather disappointing indeed!
But thats by-the-by…
I love these shoes, they’re reminiscent of some I got once before [...]

The Shoe Project: Woven Shoe Trend.

I originally set out to write a post on Shoes, and shoes alone for the ‘Woven’ trend I’ve noticed… but I also came across some lovely handbags and other attires, so I’ll add those at the end!
I really like this woven trend thats come about, inparticular, the shoes, so without further ado!

The Shoe Project: Chanel inspires TOPSHOP.

Capped toed shoes came into the fashion focus during the Winter collections, but its the Spring/Summer collections that have really brought this trend alive.
CHANEL have always dominated in the capped toe department, and Topshop clearly took their inspiration from older Chanel (Couture) Shoes, (see below).

The Shoe Project: Can’t afford the Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots??? Alas, A Cheaper Solution!

Despite TOPSHOP phasing out their boots for the arrival of the Spring/Summer 08, I found the (below) horrendously similar pair of Vivienne’s signature Pirate Boots on the TOPSHOP website a few days ago…

-Original Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots, £295.00
I spoke to my manager and we don’t [...]
