Twinkle Those Toes with Charlotte Olympia

God I'm a sucker for some festive lovin'. Grab your Santa hats and candy canes guys as this post is giving some merry appreciation to Charlotte Olympia's Crimbo-tastic, fancy footwear. I don't really think Miss Charlotte needs much of an introduction, as let's face it shoes are to woman as what the dog is to man; their best friend, and Charlotte the wee gem has got the art of footwear down to every last inch of the heel. However, for all of you not so familiar, I will give you a quick intro to this lovely lady. 
Charlotte Olympia Dellal is a London based shoe designer with a passion for footwear and and a flair for sparkle. She launched her fabulous footwear brand in 2008 and since then her brand has grown in strength, beauty and oh so amazingness. Aside from perfecting the art of footwear, Charlotte Olympia also sells some brilliantly quirky bags and some cutesie wee accessories.
So the Christmas season is now in full swing; mistletoe a-hangin', champagne bottles popping and that perfect little xmas dress is wearing you like it was born on you. So what better way to top it all off than with a pair of festive shoes to really set the eyes on you!? Charlotte Olympia's Christmas collection of footwear features eight different shoes, all perfectly themed for the Santa season, and with a variety so ranged, there is most definitely a style for everyone. 

Shoe numero uno..
'All I Want' - £795
Elongate your pins in your very own wrapped up present toesies this Christmas. 
The 'All I Want' shoes will work wonders for your legs with their block wedge, in this quirky, xmas pressie inspired manner and will transform any simplistic outfit into something simply wonderful.

Number two..
'Festive' - £625
Oh baby the delicacy and intricacy of these shoes is just too magical. 
The slender black heel and fine suede ankle strap just screams elegance, in a more reserved, admirable way of course. Continuing the festive spirit, Charlotte finishes off these beauties with a gold bow, the perfect finish to any present. (present of shoes from me to me?)

Trois et quatre..


   

    'Holly' - £595 & 'Glitter Kitty' - £495
These two adorable pair of pumps are simply just too devinely cute for words!!
For all who are previous lovers of Charlotte Olympia you should be aware of her ever relevant, seasonal pumps. For example, take her Halloween sensations, which featured pumpkin designed pumps and fanged black cats; the perfect combination of eccentricity meets style. These two however, are perfect for this season on a more dressed down kinda day; beaaaaautiful.

No. 5
'Jingle Bell Dolly' - £625
Jingle all the way with these baby's!
Give Dorothy's red slippers a run for their money this season with these sensually red, stunners! These are definitely another pair for elongating those pins girls, so get something mini on and hit the town. The adorable gold bell ankle strap is detachable, so if you're not feeling like having your own soundtrack to your step, off it slips and away you go! The ultimate festive colours and the ultimate festive shoe. Perfecto!

The sixth fix..
'Kiss Me Dolly' - £625
Just like the 'Jingle Bell Dolly' these wee beauties also show off their classy, yet festive, luxurious gold platform. Who needs to hang the mistletoe when you can wear it on your shoe? Add some festive magic to the LBD this season with these quirky yet elegant shoes this winter. 

Seven Heaven..
'Noelle' - £895
Snow booties meet the fashionista.
Dress them up or dress them down, you decide. These festive boots are just too perfectably wearable this season. The pure white of the boot with the contrast of the heel and platform is gorgeous, topped off the with the attentive lace-up front and luxurious rabbit fur trim, these boots are a true masterpiece. They make me want to go dashing through the snow, however, I don't think that would be too clever in a six inch heel...

And finally, number eight..
'Surprise' - £725
For the more subtly beautiful lady out there, Charlotte has designed 'Surprise'.
These shoes are so beautifully dainty and elegant and the finish of the bow over the caged peep-toes is profoundly stunning. These shoes would go absolutely perfectly with a black jumpsuit this season, drawing just enough attention to the shoe allowing you to shine in all your beauty too. Twit twoooo.
P.s don't forget to paint your toes!

So there you have it, Charlotte Olympia's magnificent shoe collection for Christmas. I hope this provides some festive inspiration and has bestowed upon you some love for Miss Charlotte herself! To have a look at all her masterpieces or to just have a little nosey click here to go to her website.
And whatever you decide to dress your toes in, make sure they sparkle away as much as you this Christmas season.
In the wise words of Charlotte herself, 'The higher the heel, the better you feel'.
Love and jingle bells. x
