These Heels Weren't Made For Walking

As you might have noticed I've been getting a little shoe obsessed lately. Too much of a good thing is never enough in my opinion. Today I've got a collection of the craziest but absolutely utterly fabulous shoes around. But reader beware, these shoes were definitely not made for walking!


First up we have my favourites of the bunch. These are from Maison Martin Margiela. he's known for his quirky eccentric designs and I can promise these shoes look so sublimely sexy when worn. If you happen to have a spare bit of cash www.eluxury.com has reduced them from $545 to $385.


Next we have these pieces of fabulosity from Giuseppe Zanotti. On www.saks.com they're down from $550 to $330. And you know all eyes would be on you bopping round the dancefloor in these babies. Love them. I have some that are kind of similar and they are by far the most complimented items I own.



Marcy Marc brought out the funky bunch with these two pairs. I love them, probably prefer the pink as I don't really do black shoes, I prefer a pop of colour on my feet regardless of what I'm wearing, there's always a way to make that work. And I tend to prefer open to closed toe shoes for eveningwear. A little more sexy don't you think?
The black pair are down from $590 to $236 on www.saks.com.

The pink pair are down from $587 to $350 on www.eluxury.com. I love the back of these. Its the little details like this that set shoes like this apart in the style stakes.


I'm not necessarily crazy about snakeskin shoes but there's something about these Miu Miu Whisnake Degrade wedges that caught my eye. Can you see the expertise in how that heel was carved out? Wedges are many things but rarely elegant but these ones manage to toe the line of stylish elegance fabulously. Reduced $540 to $252 on www.saks.com.



I suspect these Veronique Branquinho shoes might look a little clumpy but worn with supertight skinnies or a shirt skirt, you might just manage to pull them off. Reduced from $575 to $345 at www.saks.com.

Now I know for people in America these prices are still a little high but for people in the UK and Europe, the same prices hover around £100+ which considering the price of Kurt Geiger these days.....is not bad at all.

Tiger Tem Loves a Hot Date

Its the weekend and you know I wouldn't leave you hanging.



This for me is the quintessential hot date outfit. A sexy little dress that's supremely stylish in a very feminine colour with some rather fabulous accessories!

Dress - Graham & Spencer
The simple, structured shape of the dress would look fabulous on most body types and I adore this shade of pink. The cocktail ring,well I had to really. A bobby dazzler is one of my signature pieces on an evening out and trust me, I have A LOT!

If you don't know Graham & Spencer, get to know. The South African & English duo Simple, contemporary, stylish, sophisticated shapes from the creators of Velvet.

Earrings - Roberta Chiarella
Discovered her years ago in InStyle and it was love at first bling. We have lots of similar earrings in our Tiger Tem Boutique so if you're in Lagos make sure you pop in to check them out.

Clutch - Glorinha Parangua
This stunning little clutch adds a bold jolt of colour to the outfit. Those who know me well know I'm not a fan of matchy-matchy accessories and its little pieces like this that make an outfit a lot more exciting.

Brazilian designer, with a gem of a store in Ipanema....its these lacquered bamboo clucthes that put her firmly on the fashion map.

Bangles - (similar on http://stores.ebay.com/Tiger-Tem)
The bangles add some colour without competing with the rest of the outfit and the gold edge keeps it glam.

Cocktail Ring - Kenneth Jay Lane
Love, love, love his jewellery. Its fun, eye catching and very, very glamourous...which sounds like an all round winner to me.

Shoes - Christian Louboutin
I'm a little obsessed right? But I LOVE these. Never has a shoe been soooooo damn sexy!



This is great if you want something a little more relaxed as this is the perfect day to evening option. Chocolate brown is a great colour that works on most people and is a softer alternative to black.

Top - BB DakotaThe vintage style detail stops this top makes this top infinitely more stylish and the low V neck makes it very sexy without being over the top.

The Skinny Jeans - www.PaigePremiumDenim.com
I don't own a pair of jeans this light but they look great don't they? I think I've just decided what I need next on my shopping list!

I love Paige jeans...they are by far my sexiest pair of jeans. Seriously. I'm yet to wear then without getting complemented on them. The company was founded by Paige Adams-Geller, an ex fit-model known for having the best butt in the business who had been a fit model for top brands such as 7 For All Mankind, Lucky Brand, Citizens of Humanity and Guess. I guess she really knew how to make her money maker work for her!

The Bangles
How much do you love these bangles? I'm loving bangles at the moment as you might have noticed. Browns and gold win me over every time. We have some great ones in our temporary online boutique http://stores.ebay.com/Tiger-Tem. These fabulous feathered ones are from www.alexadnani.com

The Belt - Roberto Cavalli
I can't say his name without rolling the R, as in Rrrrrrrooooooberrrrrto. Cos you know if you met him that's how he sounds. the original Italian Stallion Lothario! Love his style, he's managed to channel, OTT sex appeal and glamour without making women look like tramps!

The Sunglasses - Tiger Tem
They will be in the boutique soon, I promise!

The Clutch - Anya Hindmarch
The UK's most famous bag lady. Love this cute little clutch and the raffia gives it a chic summery feel.

The Shoes - Christian Louboutin
I know, I really must stop obsessing. But that day is not today. Don't you just love the way these shoes take this outfit up so many notches in the style stakes?

Enjoy.
