Pink Haired Princess

Hola, how is this week treating you so far? I'm pretty wrecked, but plodding along. Whenever I saw this High End Hottie in an email, I instantly knew it had to be included in MWMH. So I racked my brains trying to find a High Street Honey worthy of sitting alongside such a magnificent find. I spent ages ...then it dawned on me, I had the perfect pair already on my wishlist*. Waste of time, silly me! Mid Week Must Haves by pinkhairedprincess

I'd like to think my taste in shoes is quite diverse. For example, I love a lady-like, elegant peep-toe, but am also fond of clumpy platform boots. Sometimes I want frills and glitter and charms and patterns and other times I'm happy with a sleek, plain style. Usually what I wear each day is dictated by my mood and I like having various personalities or sides to my style. Recently though, it seems I've been on a 'pretty-shoe' mission! Ok, so I have bought a couple of pairs of boots, but mostly it's been court shoes and a growing obsession with glitter! If you're flagging mid-week, then this little selection should revitalise you, it's really just an excuse to look at pretty shoes ; ) Above, Carvela 'Antibes' in pink glitter. Remember last year, right before Christmas, my parents took me shopping in Edinburgh for a couple of hours? We went to the Kurt Geiger store and I bought some sale shoes, but spied these pale pink glittery gems tha...

You know I love glitter and sparkles and also shoes. So glitter shoes are a no-brainer! This season, sparkly uppers aren't enough though; embellishment has progressed to the soles.  Yep you heard right, glitter soles is where it's at girls!  I think it's utterly fan-freakin-tastic! I happen to own a pair of glitter soled shoes (my Kandee 'Diamonds') because y'all know I'm soooo ahead of the trends! However these savvy pairs have no glitter on the base, just sparkles where you can see 'em.  I can't see anything against having pretty soles to look at especially when it in no way affects the way you walk in the shoes and in these instances isn't ruined by walking on them.  Here's a selection of what Net-A-Porter currently have to offer The stones on these Lanvin crystal embellished pink satin courts  (£970) are exactly like those in the heel of my Fashionistas Corso Como suede courts.  I have to admit to finding several little cone shaped...

Quick picture post of my new shoes that arrived yesterday. I bought them from Yoox on the 19th, they were shipped from Italy on the 20th and arrived on the 25th, which is excellent! This Miu Miu box is slightly different to my older ones, with a brocade style lining, ooooh fancy! You know you're onto a good thing, when you get branded tissue paper and dust-bags. Even more so if they put spare heel tips in a separate envelope! The shoes are black suede, they sometimes look navy in certain lights, but are black. They have amazing embellishments all over and a softly rounded toe. The heel is gold metal ('knitting needle' as my Mum would say) with the embellishment detail again at the top, which is just beautiful. I also purchased a Love Moschino brooch, which was basically free as I had a 10% off and free delivery code which took the total back to the original price of the shoes with shipping!  I'm so crap at maths until it comes to worki...

Jeffrey Campbell shoes are often rather...well 'ugly' and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I often like JC shoes, but there's always an element of ugliness that they're based around yet somehow, they triumph and turn out ok! So I was a little surprised with this new style, El Carmen. A fabulous summer style with all over chunky shape, thick heel and platform. They have a very vintage-holiday appeal. The cross-over uppers and polka dot print are certainly reminiscent of these Miu Miu pairs (below) which I've been lusting after for some time. They're just happy shoes without anything bad or ugly-go JC! They're available from Solestruck for just under $120 in pink with small white pin dot or pink with larger red polka dot.

Just a quick reminder, you have just 10 minutes left to bid on eBay , for my Prada shoes (BNIB), also have L.A.M.B. 'Faith' ankle shoe-bootie things BNIB and a pair of pink satin swallow mary janes (also BN). Go, go, go!

I was deleting old images on my computer and came across these. They just looked so pretty-I had to share! above; poodle wedge ankle boots and pink Bambino both Irregular Choice Suede cuff sandals Prada, Faith fishnet boots L.A.M.B.

Is it bad that I'm seriously considering saving up £335 for these Miu Miu shoes? Absolutely seriously. It's probably value for money considering you get beautiful patent leather uppers in sumptuous buttery colours, a 5 1/2" chunky heel, peep toe, 1" platform, brogue style detailing and a huge purdy bow. Too bad that they will probably have sold out by the time I can afford them. I'm just going to click on these images every day and wish...I love them so much! Available from Net-a-Porter .

I'm rather obsessed with the SS10 Miu Miu collection, as many of you are. Although I am a little surprised by the universal appreciation of the collection and more-so the shoes as I didn't think they would appeal to all. I loved the fabric colours and prints from the minute I saw them, cats+swallows+florals=totally cute, in my book. The shoes weren't an instant hit with me though, it took a little while for me to get past the clumpy, block heel 90's shape to see their true beauty. Now, however, they are all I can think about! The pale pink swallow print heels encrusted with crystals are the pair that I'm completely lusting after. I can't put into words, just how much I need them! It annoys me when I'm quite prepared to pay the big bucks for designer shoes, but I just can't find them anywhere. Living outside of London and not being able to visit the Miu Miu department or store in person means you have to rely on online shops such as Net-A-Porter and th...
