The Shoe Thing . . .

It seems everyone is shoe crazy at the moment with Sarah Jessica Parker releasing a collection of shoes in US department store Nordstrom later in February. This news had not even settled before it was discovered that actress Cameron Diaz was releasing her own capsule collection of shoes for brand Pour La Victoire. The difference between these two actresses style is huge so it is no surprise that their designs are totally different. There is no doubt that both of these collaborations will bring in a lot of attention and revenue for Nordstrom and Pour La Victoire, but it should be maybe noted that SJP has put her names on her designs and Cameron Diaz has not.

Here is my top three from both of these ladies collections. . .

I love the above three the most, I can't honestly say her style in shoes are my thing but I do like these three styles the most. The colours are unusual and the pastel shade heels are bang on trend. Other styles available in SJP's collection are flip-flops, espadrille wedges, T-bars, vintage inspired shapes, e.c.t If your the kind of girl who loves Sex in the City then these are the shoes for you, you will love the whole collection!

Cameron Diaz's shoes are a lot edgier with a mix of leather and suede. Definetly a lot more my style I love the ones in the big square with their panels, this collection without a doubt is more modern. It is clear that the audience for each of these collections will be total opposites with what I can only imagine a younger crowd going for Cameron Diaz's collection and an older crowd going for SJP's more classical shapes and styles.

. . .

But it wasn't just these two who decided to branch out into footwear designer Orla Kiely has paired up with the brand Clarks to design a collection of 60's inspired shoes. This capsule collection includes six styles of shoes, including flatforms, platforms, buckled shoes, e.c.t. All in bright colour ways and some even featuring 60's inspired prints, there could be no doubt that these shoes were not designed by Orla Kiely!

Check out my top three below . . .

Love the very 60's inspired platforms in green with the floral print on the toe. The beautiful and bold wedges in the wonderful summer red perfect for walking around on warmer spring days. The more suitable sligbacks for work, still fun and a more practical height.

So three very different styles from three very different people. My overall favourite would have to be Orla Kiely, just more my style. Which is your favourite collection?
