You may have noticed that i have a penchant for a pop of red. For me it really is the finishing touch to so many of my outfits. I love that the eye is drawn to this fun hit of colour (and therefore detracting away from a, very often, tired makeup less face) . A friend recently said to be how daring it was to pair red with so many other colours such as when i pair red with yellow, birght blues and greens. Truth is I don’t really see it as daring, more of an easy access pass to looking half decent.

Red is such a classic colour and to me really does work as a more interesting, stepped up neutral, or a contrast colour if we’re getting technical. Now i think there is a shade of red for everyone, and what i will be talking about here is wearing it literally on your extremities so no need to worry about it not looking good next to your hair/ face.
Lets pop some red shall we?
My Red Shoe collection
So red shoes are my forever love. I don’t think a week goes past without me donning red shoes in one way shape or form. The red boots i bought in Feb have been worn much much more than i ever envisaged, even though it’s supposedly Spring they were even worn last week with a maxi dress, and have been a brilliant outfit maker plus super comfy. Then I have the heeled courts and my little pumps, each worn on constant rotation (as you may have noticed).
So lets see whats about on the red shoe front shall we?
Flats are important aren’t they?
Some on trend mules possibly?
Some summery espadrilles are just gorgeous aren’t they? Brilliant with denim dresses, floaty skirts and, well, pretty much anything!

These are a fab little numbers for a little extra detail

And of course, trainers/sneaker.. where would all be without them these days? The perfect athleisure accompaniment and excellent for busy days running about. I’ve had the Nike cortez on my wishlist for months.. I may even sell a pair i already have to try and fund these!

So there we are ladies, red shoes brightening the day. Are you a fan of a pop of colour with your shoes? Or are you a neutral shoe fan?
So true! Love the pop of color!

I agree, a red shoe is a wonderful thing to have. Love that you aren't afraid of bold colors either, so often I keep my reds with neutrals.
