I have too many shoes

Inspired by my recent visit to Berlin, where I visited the amazing KaDeWe store (think Harrods-Berlin style)  I have chosen Brian Atwood for this week's shoe , available at NET-A-PORTER. This shoe has it all - gold leather, velvet, crystals and seventies inspiration. All you need is the style of Bianca Jagger, a jumpsuit and Studio 54 to re-open to ensure these shoes get the night out they deserve.

So I have two more weeks until my 40th birthday, that means there is still plenty of time to research shoe possibilities for my birthday present. It does feel like a moral dilemma, deciding on a pair of designer shoes in this current climate but what the heck, isn't the world meant to end in 2012 .  So if I can, I am going to go out in style! So, now the question is . . . do I make a statement with my designer choice? Or do I choose classic style? Well my current 'shoe crush' is on these statement shoes by Camilla Skovgaard at Net-A-Porter, I'm going to start research my classic choice now.

In my quest to find the perfect shoe for my 40th birthday, I've come across these lovely red Miu Miu shoes  on Net - a - Porter. Now these shoes would be a great replacement for my recently deceased red shoes and they definitely be an upgrade!

The future's bright for 2011 Well here it is, my first shoe of the week for 2011.  Now orange is a colour to be seen in this year, so I tracked down this pair of Lona Terra ankle-wrap sandals by Alexandre Birman available for £295 on Net-a-Porter. With a 4.5 inch heel and 1 inch platform, these shoes will have you walking tall whether you're in the city or walking by the marina in St Tropez!

I don't want a lot for Christmas . . . I've noticed a few bloggers has started posting about their Christmas wish lists, so I thought that I'd better get writing mine!  Obviously my shoe of the week  will definitely be on the list - hey I can dream can't I! These Brian Atwood mauve leather pumps with embellished chain detail on the heel are available at NET-A-PORTER and priced at £720 .  With a six inch heel and hidden one inch platform, these shoes will definitely require a limo-to-venue policy.  Brian Atwood's shoes have been spotted on Posh and Eva Mendes to name a few stars who've also fallen in love with Mr Atwood's designs.  The price of some designer shoes still manage to amaze me, these shoes are worth more than one and a half times the value of my car.  I wonder if NET-A-PORTER would accept my car as a trade-in? If so, those shoes better be made for walking!
