I love a pair of plain black flats or boots or heels as much as the next person – I love shoeeeeees in general. But sometimes life is far too short for plain black or safe colours or sensible heels and fastening and designs. Too short, even, for cult classics, blogger faves and passing runway trends.
I am a strong believer in the slightly odd and ‘guaranteed to turn heads’ vein of shoe design. [seen here and here/here] We all know how happy I was that the cleated sole and block/chunky heel hit the high street, because yes, want them all want them now, basically. So what else am I loving when it comes to shoes? What do I class as not boring?

I think it’s clear that I’m loving pastel shaded anything at the moment, they’re such a nuisance to keep clean but look so pretty and dainty on, even if they have massive heels or platforms… Oh well, I’ll just have to avoid all the mud and prance around in floaty dresses all summer. Which, by the way, should really hurry up.
Which are your favourites from these? If any ahah. What do you like to look for in a shoe – are you a fan of the weird and the wacky, or prefer a more understated place to put your tootsies and an outrageous outfit? Let me know!

All of these shoes are so cute, and whilst I don't think I could pull them off, you would suit them all wonderfully!! xx
Awh thank you! In all honesty it only takes buying one pair of ~slightly unconventional~ shoes… and you will be hooked ;)xo
I could never pull these shoes off! Especially in the little country town that I'm from, but these are super cute! xo, Lauren-leewww.laurenleegrace.blogspot.com
Ahah I'm split between a generally unaccepting uni city and a small town, and still love to rock my massive heels! Don't be frightened of the shoes… the shoes want you to love them 😉 xo
They're so amazing, I need them all! <3http://rustorstardust.blogspot.pt/ **
They're all ridiculously perfect and I am so with you on that. All the money. yes. xo
Shoes really can express the inner you. Love this post and so many of the shoes featured here.Sharonhttp://www.afashioncrowd.blogspot.com
Awh thank you! I find shoes are a brill way to express yourself just that little bit in ways the rest of the outfit can't sometimesxo
I'm loving all your platform picks! I'm only 5'2" so I'm super excited that platforms are in style. I can finally be a regular sized person!COOCOO FOR COCO
I am also vertically challenged!! (just under 5'3") I live in my platforms I think they'd have to be surgically removed at this point?? Yay for false height to averages!xo
Love this postwww.norawears.blogspot.co.uk
Thank you! xo
Such great picks!! I need 3, 5 and 9 <3 totally agree with you, life is too short to be safe all the time! Great post as always xxxelly from alldeathbydiamonds
ahah thank you hun! I need them all but you've found my faves ;)xo
Looks amazing!Alice Cerea, BABYWHATSUP.COM
Thank you!xo
I don't think I'd be able to pull off the majority of these but I love so many from the 2nd collage! Kathryn | Nimble Note
Ahhh it's all in the mind – once you get your first pair you'll want more ~~~ ;)xo
I love the choies platforms they are really quirky and not too expensive and the bottom two jeffrey campbell flats are so cute, I just love slipper style shoes xxx
You can get the exact same pair of the Always choies shoes on ebay but you did not hear that from me noooo. Jeffrey campbell flats are my everything <3xo
I looove creepers. They give you a bit of lift without any discomfort. I like the Choies "Always" ones a lot.:] // ▲ itsCarmen.com ▲
Creepers are a definite classic, though I've never owned any! xo

I love the pastel loafers from misguided! dreamy!Ashleigh x♥ ♡ ♥ Being Ashleigh – Lifestyle and Fashion blog ♥ ♡ ♥
They have such an ace loafer selection right now, and I am not usually a flat shoes lover BUT I WANT EVERYTHINGxo
oh my! They are all so gorgeous and so cute xx
Urgh Fii why are some of these so expensive ): Don't you know I have to feed myself?! I might die if I don't get to own 2, 3, 5 or 6 in the top picture. Nothing from the bottom pic is calling my name but I really dislike flat shoes (#sorry) because I'm a midget :))) But #2 will be amazing statement shoes and I could wear #5 as an everyday kinda shoe and it's a lil' girlier than the rest that I own…I still need your black&white striped wedges though. They might disappear from your wardrobe one day, heads up!Chantel Dione | fashion, beauty, music & lifexo
I'm sooooo sorry. Ish. Maybe. Not. I thought it'd be a bit unfair if all the shoes were platforms or heels so threw the flats in for variation! But some of these I NEED. REQUIRE NOW. and oh. Ok. I'll just have to steal you to make sure they don't go too far…xo
