Preview AW17: Shoes

This post will be a very popular one. We are talking about shoes and  like it or not, us women are known for our love for this kind of accessories. I would like to find a woman who has got less than 30 pair of shoes, she would be quite unique. I've got shoes sprouting from everywhere and during the Press Days I have attended, I've seen quite a few nice pairs to add to my collection.

*In Store*  This pair of loafers by Aldo are gorgeous with its tapestry style decor made with a selection of small little metallic rings in all the nuances from silver to rose gold. They are perfect for an evening out or to add a bit of glam to a trousers suit at work. www.aldoshoes.com

*In Store*  Metallic is still very strong, so if you've missed it last year you can update your wardrobe with this pair of Trigger loafers by Cara. They are made of leather with leather lining and you can be sure about their great quality because this label has been going, with different names since late 1800. Check its website to find out where its stockists are at www.carashoes.co.uk

*In Store* If you love your stilettos check these two tone Alice patent leather court shoes by Carvela Kurt Geiger. The choice of colours is quite impressive and they will add the final touch to any outfit either at work or for an evening out. The heel is 12cm high and the colours go from the  quite settled black/nude to the more exuberant fuchsia/orange or white/leopard print. www.kurtgeiger.com

*In Store* A ballet pump is one of those staple pieces in any wardrobe. This " Ciara" pair is available at Debenhams, part of The Collection range. They are made in textile with a lovely metallic pink floral print. Great for going to work or if not allowed from the dress code policy, they will be the perfect "in between" shoes used for commuting. www.debenhams.com

*In Store*  Brogues have been seen in all the collections for the AW17. They are comfortable and with all the details, you can have so many pairs of them and at the same time they are all different. This pair is the Metallic Kiltie by Dr Martens. As well as having all the great features of this label like the Goodyear welted sole and being heat sealed and stitched together, they are trendy with their metallic silver colour and the removable kiltie. www.drmartens.com

*In Store*  This pair of shoes by Geox is the Forsythia style, perfect either with trousers or a skirt or dress, so a terrific investment piece. Geox, with its breathable sole keeps feet dry and the cushioned insole gives extra comfort to the feet for an all day wear. I like the contrast between the glossy back and the soft nappa leather upper. www.geox.com

*In Store*   It is a very orangy red this pair of Penelope court shoes by Hobbs made in suede with a 7.5cm stiletto heel. I like the cut that gives a nice shape to the feet. They are handmade in Italy and they are available in black as well. www.hobbs.co.uk

*In Store* Loafers are another style winner because they can be worn under a pair of trouser suit for work and you've got a smart, yet comfortable look. This trio is by Jones the Bootmaker, the Ellie model in leather ecru or nude  and patent black or navy leather with extra sock padding for better comfort and warmth. www.jonesbootmaker.com

*In Store*   It is a very normal sight now, to see somebody wearing a pair of silver shoes during the day. Metallic is not anymore relegated to a night at the disco and it can jazz up any outfit. These Keek at KG Kurt Geiger are available in silver or black, with a red and white stripe on the upper and studs and pearls on top. www.kurtgeiger.com

*In Store* I love the Longchamp Effrontee loafers in purple, teal or red. The details of the perforated arabesque in black and white leather against the body of the moccasins are exquisite. Bags matching the shoes are available as well as small leather goods. www.uk.longchamp.com

*In Store*  They will give you a spring on your step this patent leather lace up brogues by Marc Cain, available in pink and black as well. The welt is decorated with glitter in order to catch the sun rays when walking. Let's say that this pair of shoes are the grown up versions of Dorothy's red slippers in the Wizard of Oz.  www.marc-cain.com

*In Store*   From the M&S Collection by Marks and Spencer, this pair of great block heels court shoes have got a floral embroidery which is still a strong trend for this season and it is the first step if you want to embrace this look without going too heavy with flowers.
