Shoes designed by Louise Goldin for Topshop.
When these are released, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I want the first or the last pair.
ps. It’s crappy London-like weather outside today: wet, drizzly and overcast. What’s everyone up to today?

    just a couple of weeks ago i thought of adding a few spikes like that to the back of some random high-heeled shoes, like i saw on Lauren Conrad, and there they come with these gorgeous pairs…. any idea WHEN they gonna be released, and how much they gonna cost, Karen??
    Hellos from London, you can be calm, the weather is not any better here 🙂

    Hi Karen! Just wanted to say that I LOVE your style–you are such a constant inspiration! I know this is not related to your current post (P.S. I am OBSESSED with the Topshop shoes!!! Do you know when they are going to be released by chance???) but I wanted to share with you the link to a pair of Hudson jeans that I think you would adore from Shopbop online! They are the Hudson Skinny Flag Jeans, which you probably have already seen–but, the bear a London flag patch and heavy distressing with an overall avant-garde design that I felt perfectly embodied your style and personality!! So, I had to share them with you. =]

    Here’s the URL link: http://www.shopbop.com/skinny-flag-jeans-hudson/vp/v=1/845524441856359.htm?folderID=2534374302024380&fm=browse-brand-shopbysize-viewall

    Let me know what you think!!!! =]

    Love,

    Erin

    Anon 3 – you definitely know my style because I’ve had a shot of those jeans on my desktop for weeks. I want to make my own version with my Union Jack leggings or something. $300 is a bit steep for jeans kwim? thx for showing me : )

    Anon 2 – typical London weather eh? Don’t know details on the shoes…..yet.

    These are magical and super violent. I would totally end up in jail if I owned a pair.

  19. Dylana says:

    I also decided to share a link with you, love. Came aross these jeans and thought of you immidiately.. tell me if u’d wear them, cause I really see them on you 🙂

    I have a boring pair of jeans from MNG which could be DIY-d since these are too expensive! Plus I want to stud some work boots, but I never did it before. So, I have a question for you as a for a veteran of DIY, do you need any special tools , smth that attaches the studs? And where are you getting ur studs from, cuz choice on ebay is poor…..

    Thnx, cheers!

    SEX on Heels is what i’d call them!!!!

  33. The Queen of Hearts says:

    And I’m sure you’ll be one of the first to get them before they are released to the hounds…I’m not a fan of the first style but I <3 the second pair. I don’t know if they are too trendy though. Depending on the price-point will determine if I subscribe to them in the end.

  34. cocorosa says:

    yes yes lovely shoes 🙂 I’m dying for your store to open 🙂 🙂

    much love,

  35. Karen says:

    inx – studs and spikes website has them : ) Google the name and it comes up.

    The jeans link you sent goes to the home page. Not to the jeans.

  37. Emilie says:

    OMG I need a pair!!!!!! Those shoes are amazing!
