How cute are these??? OK, that was a rhetorical question, but I feel I should answer it anyway – very cute!
They’re mostly canvas, so quite casual, but quite retro and even a bit pin up girl with it.
The heels are very stable-looking, so I reckon these would make fun and quirky every day shoes if you like wearing heels but don’t always want to go full out retro femme fatale.
They have lots of hearts on them – in the lining as well as a big one on the bottom of the sole. I just love all those little nice touches.
You can get them from Amazon.
Well, someone had better pinch me, cause I’m pretty sure I’ve gone to shoe-dream heaven!
I know these are nautical and I already wrote about quite a few nautical shoes this week. I also know they are by Miss L Fire and on Office shoes, which also featured quite heavily this week. But, I mean, look at these!
Totally digging the gold trip and the rosette, plus red and white stripes are always fun.
Seriously, just looking at these absolutely lovely peep toe wedges has been getting me all excited in so many ways. The rosette comes off, if you so choose, just like the flower in the other Miss L Fire wedges I wrote about yesterday. I so totally want these as well. Now I need to decide whether I can afford to buy both. Meanwhile, I will continue to drool over both.
These also come in black and you can get them from, yes, Office.
Oh my god! How incredibly amazing are these?
The woven effect and pineapple wedge are so cool and the flower is detachable, though I think it looks pretty cool right where it is.
I totally and utterly want these. They are by Miss L Fire who make lots of gorgeous shoes, though the majority of them are not vegan. These particular ones are from the summer line which does seem to feature a few other vegan shoes. I’ll be sure to write about those too in due time. In the meantime, you should know that these also come in a red / white combo.
You can get them from Office.
Tis the season to be…nautical. Apparently!
Actually, who am I kidding? Tis always the season to be nautical.
These fluffy, summery wedges are by Iron Fist, who usually make somewhat darker-edges shoes for the psychobilly minded. These are far more retro-inspired. Very 50s and pin up.
My friend found them and posted the link on Facebook, so obviously I had to immediately steal them for this blog.
So now you know and can buy a pair too. But if you see a woman called Virginia wearing them, remember she found them first!
You can get these from Office.
Let’s face it – nobody does vegan pin up heels quite like TUK. They just seem to consistently deliver hot, perfectly wearable shoes. These beautiful red pin up heels are a very fine example of the above.
A mad fashion designer once told me that red shoes are notorious for being uncomfortable, but you wear them anyway.
I’ve had my share of uncomfortable red shoes, but the one pair of really gorgeous but comfortable red pin up heels I have are made by TUK. I’m inclined to believe these new ones are comfortable too.
The heels are big enough to make you extra tall, but the platform is wide enough to feel stable and the strap will hold you in place for even more support. That aside, look at how incredibly hot they are!
You can get these from the TUK website directly.
They also come in black.
Once again, Marks & Sparks deliver a surprisingly retro footwear product. These cute cork platform heels may not be the sort of thing I’d have expected to find amongst their stock, but there you go.
These would fit right in with quite a few pin up minded shoe places, not to mention your big 50s swimsuits and summery dresses.
They have a whole pin up / retro thing going on and still manage to appear stable and comfortable enough to be worn just about anywhere. Apart from the red and white striping, there’s also a white and blue colour combo, for the purists.
You can get them from the Marks & Spencer site
Pure rockabilly fetish heaven! Here’s another totally outrageous pair of super high heels from Penthouse shoes. I’ve written about another pair of their vegan high heels before and I’m really getting into this brand. I wonder if they’re called Penthouse cause their heels are so high?
Not all their shoes have tattoos on them, but for some reason I seem to be drawn to those that do. So here we have a cute “love & hate” tattoo design on the platform, with a sexy red mock crock and a cute little key charm dangling from the heel. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ve also got cherries, swallows and stars everywhere. These guys take no prisoners when it comes to loading up on the rockabilly imagery. Pure pin up class all the way, baby!
Yes, I know these aren’t particularly practical unless you were born in heels, but posing also works for me. They are just soooo cool.
You can get these hot hot heels from Amazon / Endless.
Sparkle sparkle! Yup, we’re back to Pleaser Bordello. I love this label and I’m going to go over each and every one of their shoes during this blog’s lifespan.
These lovely sequin heels come in a few different colour combinations (including a very hot red) and just look really really nice. I like the fact that they are all quite light colours, cause I’ve often found it’s a bit difficult to find shoes to go with my lighter vintage ensembles.
I don’t know what they’re like to wear. I’ve heard mixed reports about Pleaser shoes. They look like they’d be nice to dance in, but who knows. The one thing that’s definite is that they look pretty damn hot, so you’re at the very least going to look like you’re a part of a 50s musical chorus line.
They’re available on Amazon.
Here’s a nice pair of stylish green vegan heels from Next. It’s a very nice shade of green, too.
I know how hard it is to get vegan shoes of a particular colour so I thought I’d include it here. The shape is very retro / pin up, too and these shoes also come in classic animal print or a nice shade of sexy dark pink.
These are all smart but funky. You could easily wear them to work if your job required heels, but they would also work with both modern and retro fashion.
All in all, not such a bad buy for £32, I must say and a good choice for spring (assuming spring ever comes).
You can get these from Next.
Happy Christmas everyone! And look what the shoe Santa has brought you. These topical vegan platforms are glittery and green (with a bit of gold) and perfect for all you happy little elves to party in. They are so mad, I have been dreaming about them for weeks. In this case, I do think a picture is worth more than even a whole thousand words. I mean, how incredibly cool are these?
They are by Pleaser’s Bordello range (I told you to remember that name) and are aimed at the burlesque-minded with the lacing and all. They are, however, also a bit disco at the same time with all that glitter and huge chunky platform (5″). Oddly enough, they also remind me a bit of something a Mexican wrestler would wear. Maybe it’s the combination of the lacing and bright green glitter that has evoked this image. Obviously, Mexican wrestlers don’t wear huge platforms, but maybe they should? Either way, these are definitely showstopping shoes.
I’m not sure what I’d wear these with but I know I want them. They are the sort of shoes you build an outfit around if you don’t already have one ready. You could actually just wear a nondescript black outfit with them and still look absolutely wicked. No one would be looking at the rest of you.
These are available via Amazon.com.
Another one to add to the list of vegan brogues and wingtip shoes – these lovely vegan high-heel oxfords from Beyond Skin. They’re called “serpent” and it’s not difficult to see why, cause they are totally femme fatale material – so superbly vampy.
The addition of a 4″ heel to the originally masculine oxford pattern is not new, but Beyond Skin do it with style and grace. These definitely top the list for a pin up bombshell vegan brogue.
These shoes are handmade in Spain to be hard-wearing and comfortable. They are certainly hot enough to be party shoes, but also smart enough to be very stylish work shoes. Check out the video of the shoes in action on the Beyond Skin site, very film noir (in a colourful, sunny sort of way).
I’m loving the extra femme fatale red contrasted with black in this colour combo, but you could also happily opt for more traditional grey and black or all-brown versions.
These hot vegan brogues are available from Beyond Skin.
OK, this little picture sucks. You’re going to have to click through to the actual page to see the good pictures and realise these shoes are actually rather nice. I don’t know why, but I’m kinda thinking “Bond girl”. Maybe it’s because it’s quite a classic design and the jewel bit, although plastic, looks pretty sophisticated in a somewhat 80s sort of way. They’d make nice pin up girl shoes.
These would go well with a little black dress (I mean, what doesn’t? But I think these would go particularly well) or if you’re young enough to buy into the whole 80s retro style, I’m sure there’s some sequinned and jewelled outfits you could throw together with these.
Available at Debenhams.
