Shoes for some are the most important part of their outfit. I know from the growing collection in my own wardrobe that I qualify as a shoe collector, especially when it comes to high heels. The good thing about shoes is that they can be coordinated with other accessories in your wardrobe such as your belt and your watch. Not only can watches be adapted to your attire but also to the occasion whether you are going to a ball or on a shopping trip. It’s hard to control the urge of buying new high heels when there are so many reasons they benefit your wardrobe!
Here’s a sneak peak on how heels have evolved over the last 100 years:
If you are looking to grow your shoe collection and need inspiration or you are looking to accessorise your existing wardrobe then stay tuned for our recommendations.
Dolls Kill and Daisy Dixon
Dolls Kill is an alternative brand which caters for girls in need of unique clothes and accessories. They are bold in fashion and mermaid friendly with their new ‘Little Mer-Bae’ collection. If you are a fan of bright colours and design as well as the holographic style then this may be the online store for you. Today we have chosen their Life of Luxury Marabou Heels in purple.

These gorgeous high heels are perfect for those days you just feel like being a princess. My favourite part of these shoes is the strap which wraps around your ankle which mimics the style of ballet shoes. The faux fur is a cute addition to the style of these shoes- your friends and loved ones will definitely want to know where you got these fabulous shoes. We think that these shoes would match well with Daisy Dixon’s Millie Lilac timepiece.
This watch matches the colour of these shoes well as they are the same shade of purple. The silver case of this dial suits the silver buckle on these shoes as well as the white crystals which sit on the strap. This watch isn’t just a great match in terms of style, but also in price as this timepiece is currently in our sale so grab it while you can!
Killstar and Jean Paul Gaultier
Killstar are an alternative fashion brand which began in 2010. Their style tends to surround gothic and punk trends which they provide look-books for inspiration, their most recent being ‘Forest Spirits’. If your favourite colour is black, red or purple then you are definitely shopping in the right place. It was a hard decision but from their footwear section we finally chose their Hell-O Platform Bootie.

These platforms look like they are on a different level, and we don’t just mean the height of these beautiful booties. The good thing about these shoes is that they are faux leather and 100% vegan which opens them up to a whole new market of potential buyers. These shoes are perfect if you want to make a statement and we have just the watch to do that with, Jean Paul Gaultier’s Navy Tattoo Black Leather Watch.
This watch comes in three variations, a navy blue leather strap and a silver stainless steel strap, however we decided that the black leather strap would suit these platform booties the most. Not only do these accessories match in colour and fabric but in their bold fashion statement. For Jean Paul Gaultier’s timepiece it is the dial that takes centre stage with its traditional rose style that is commonly a feature of the nautical fashion trend as well as the traditional edgy scene.
Ted Baker and Missguided
Missguided describe themselves as a brand which empowers women in terms of their wardrobe. They create a variety of different designs with the support of their talented in house team with their focus primarily being millennial women. Missguided is the kind of store you can expect to find glitter and glam for an affordable price. Out of the many collections they have we opted for their Pink Satin Tie Platform Sandals.

Personally, I have a soft spot for satin designs and these shoes are no exception. The summer trend is of course platform sandals with the shoe strap tied around your ankle and it is a look to die for! These high heels might not be well suited for everyday wear however, when you do decide to get these beauties out for the right glamorous occasion we have a watch which will finish the look. Ted Baker’s Kate Oriental Floral watch.
If you are missing pink accessories in your wardrobe or pink happens to be your favourite colour, then this combination is the perfect look. The soft pink leather strap of this watch matches the soft look satin on these shoes. The floral pattern on the dial of this watch is the main attraction, floral being one of the ‘in’ patterns of this summer.
ASOS and Tommy Hilfiger
ASOS is an online retailer just like ourselves, selling over 850 clothing and beauty brands, including their own line of clothing, mainly aimed at the young adults. They were one of the first online fashion retailers, starting back in 2000 and have since blossomed into the successful retailer that we know today. With a broad range of brands and styles to chose from, we decided on summer footwear, Lost Ink Navy Espadrille Platform Heeled Sandals.

These shoes are a combination of sandals and wedges with the cream espadrille heel and the on trend look of straps wrapped around the ankles. These heels show off a rich navy blue which is perfect for those girls that can’t resist the nautical look. If you like the look of these shoes make sure you get them quick as they are currently on sale! We thought that Tommy Hilfiger’s Blake Gigi Hadid watch would be the perfect match to these shoes.
This timepiece is as rich in colour the same as these high heels. These accessories as a combination will work beautifully as a beach look, so if you haven’t already booked a beach holiday here’s your chance! This watch also displays date and day which means that isn’t just a watch that looks good but has multiple functions.
