Jelly Shoes Pink Hearts Lady dragonIf, like me, you love Vivienne Westwood’s collaboration with Melisssa shoes, you might be interested to see these copycat Jelly Heart Flats!

You may have seen on the blog before that I have a pair of Melissa/Vivienne Westwood Ultragirl Bow Flats, and I’ve always had my eye on the gorgeous Lady Dragon shoes too.  Then I saw these on Amazon at just £12.99 and decided they’d be a close second.

They come in sizes 3-8 in pink, green, orange, black and white, and the shape and style is almost identical as the Vivienne Westwood ones. 

They do come up a little tight, but not uncomfortably so and the shape allows a small wedge under the heel to support your back.  The hearts and peep toes are the icing on the cake – paint your toe nails for maximum effect!

Melissa Shoes Ultragirl – IV vs Vivienne Westwood Bow Flats

Well, the long awaited review of my Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Shoes Ultragirl Bow Flats is finally here!  I also decided to trial a pair of Melissa Ultragirl IV alongside them, you know, just to make it fair ;o)

As you may have read here before*, I’ve been waiting a long time for these Vivienne Westwood beauties as hubby hid them away for my birthday! And they don’t disappoint!  They’re so beautiful that I’m forever bumping into things because I’m staring at the floor and not at where I’m headed!  I also don’t get anywhere very quickly, because people are always stopping to ask where I got my gorgeous shoes!

So, what are they like to wear?  Well, they’re extremely comfortable, thanks to the wonders of the Melflex material they’re made from, which conforms to the shape of your foot for a custom fit.  They’ve been great worn at work, smart daytime occasions and nights out as well.  I never thought I’d go out dancing in flats but I haven’t worn heels since I got them!

Perhaps I shouldn’t have bought the regular Ultragirl flats as well (mine are model IV), but I was intrigued to see if there was any difference…and there is!  The IVs are actually even more comfortable because they have a padded lining that offers more support underfoot and stops your feet getting as hot as the flat liner in the VWs.  I’m sad to say as well, that the lovely pattern inside the VWs has started to wear away already and I’ve only had them for three weeks.  This isn’t a big problem obviously, but given the price I didn’t expect it to happen. 

Otherwise they’re pretty similar – both are scented with the signature bubblegum smell and the shape seems to be identical – I guess Vivienne Westwood customised them from Melissa Shoes’ original design. 

I am totally in love with the VWs and I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a beautiful pair of flats – I’m sure like me, you’d get lots of wear out of them.  Click here to buy them from a retailer in the UK.

If you’re on a budget, or are not worried about the extra detail on the VWs, the regular Melissas will also serve you very well, if not in quite as beautiful a way!

Gold Prima Crocs with Pink Ribbons!

You might remember a while back I customised my silver Prima Crocs with ribbons (here).  I also have a pair in gold and couldn’t resist giving them the same treatment!

A friend in the USA told the girls in her local Lush store about my Crocs ribbons and now they all wear them too!  It’s simple – just choose your favourite colour ribbons, tie a knot across two of the holes, double knot, tie the ribbon and double tie so they don’t come undone when you’re out and about (this was a bit of an embarrassing discovery first time round!).  Finally make sure they’re even and cut the loose ends to size.

Crocs Prima comes in many different colours – get yours from Amazon UK here or directly from Crocs below:

Why I love: Crocs Olivia Peeptoe Pumps

As you might have noticed, I have a few pairs of Crocs!  They’re just so comfy, I can’t get enough!  

‘Olivia‘ were a present from my husband on valentines day and he chose my favourite colour, purple!  This style is a bit more glam than some of the others and they look super cute under jeans or with brightly coloured tights and a skirt or dress.  They’d also be great for the beach, but I’ve been wearing them all weathers at the weekend, in the office and out in the evening ‘cos I like them so much!

They have a sparkly ‘jibbitz’ on the side and a very cute peeptoe cutout, showing a bit of ‘toe cleavage’!  Comfort wise I can’t really fault it – they’re a tighter fit than ‘Malindi’ but the material is slightly more flexible, so in my opinion, even more comfortable.  If your feet tend to get hot in the summer, you might prefer the Malindi style for the extra breathing space, otherwise I’d say go for Olivia!

They’re available in plenty of colour choices – Brown, Red, Bubblegum, New Gold, Dhalia, Ultraviolet and Black – get yours in the UK here or directly from Crocs below.

A few people have asked me recently where they can get their hands on a pair of Alice Crocs like mine (below).  They’re reasonably priced and available in many colours - mine are Peacock (blue), Grape (purple) and Ruby (red) and you can get them from Amazon here.

            

I hope you like yours as much as I do!
