Although, the Diva finds, there’s nothing quite like splurging on something fabulous and frivolous for yourself when it comes to making yourself feel good, treating the ones you love comes a very close second.

If you hate trawling the shops amidst the Christmas shopping chaos (does anyone actually enjoy it?) then the smart move, my darlings, is to buy online.

Luckily for you, Viva La Diva has a fabulous selection of gift ideas for your girlfriends - and man friends too!

Whether you want to spend £20, £50 or blow the budget we’ve ideas to suit everyone.

These slippers will keep loved ones’ toes cute and cosy – and are only £19.99

The Diva adores this purple purse from designer Suzy Smith. Almost too good to give away…

These Batman cufflinks would make a fun extra for your Dark Knight – £12.

Or spoil him rotten with this fabulous leather holdall – most distinguished!

Happy Christmas shopping darlings!

As any Diva devoted to her high heels knows, sometimes at the end of an evening you just want to slip your feet into something more comfortable. As soon as possible! Redfoot’s folding after party shoes are just the thing. They look cute, hardly take up any room in your handbag and most importantly, you’ll be so glad of them at the end of the night.

They’ve just released a Sex and the City branded range, so whether you see yourself as a Carrie, Samantha, Miranda or Charlotte you’ll find your perfect pair at Viva La Diva.

So will you choose the fabulous Carrie after party folding pumps?

 Or perhaps the dramatic and decadent Samantha shoe for true divas?

The pretty Charlotte pump, for aspiring Upper East Side princesses?

Or, last but by no means least, the Miranda, for ladies who march ot the beat of their own drum!

Each week the Diva puts the spotlight on one of her personal favourites…

Just what the Doctor ordered!

These black leather boots from Dr Martens are a little girlier than the classic lace ups yet just as comfy. They’re the ultimate hard-wearing winter boot – fabulous with jeans or a mini and thick tights.

Finding your perfect party dress can be tricky, a Diva finds. But the Diva never struggles when it comes to party shoes!

There’s simply so much choice at Viva La Diva. But the question is… which party shoes to choose? Pretty peep toe court shoes or super-strappy sandals? Sky-high platform stilettos or something seductive in suede? It’s going to be tricky to plump for just one pair… Perhaps something in decadent jewel tones?

If you want to make a statement darlings, do it in style with something striking from the latest Carvela footwear collection – new additions just in at Viva La Diva. They’ve got some seriously stunning platform shoes and sandals, for legs that go on for miles and miles!

The latest Ciccia handbags and purses just in at Viva La Diva are simply too cute! The famous cat design accessories in sumptuous leather make a fabulous gift for cat lovers – or perhaps a little pre-Christmas treat for yourself?

But which Ciccia bag is the cutest? It’s certainly giving the Diva ‘paws’ for thought! (sorry, darlings, sometimes the Diva just can’t resist…)

It’s not hard to guess what Pursonality do – the clue’s in the name!

These cute purses are beautifully made and have classic looks with a bit of a modern twist. So if you’ve gone all out on a fab bag and shoes, don’t let your ensemble down with a shabby purse. Or why not give one as a gift? I’m sure any girfriend would love to find one of these beauties in her stocking!

Purrfect shoe boots from Irregular Choice

If you love footwear that’s a little different you’ll love Irregular Choice shoes. The Diva adores these cute’n’quirky ankle boots, combining soft nubuck and alligator style leather for an opulent look…

It’s been a long time coming darlings, but finally the Shoes Diva blog is live!

But where are my manners? In my excitement I have forgotten to introduce myself! It’s The Diva here darlings. And I live for shoes, shoes, shoes! And boots. And bags. And generally all things fabulous.

Which is lucky, as those lovely people at Viva La Diva have given me free reign to waffle to my hearts content about all things fabulous at Viva La Diva, here on my very own blog!

Which is also lucky, as (apart from shopping) talking about all things fabulous is what the Diva does best!

If my wafflings here are simply not enough for you, you can hear more from me (and what’s hot) in the Viva La Diva emails. You can sign up for them here.

So what can you expect from the Diva over the coming weeks?

I’ll be taking you through everything that’s fresh and new at Viva La Diva, from luscious new labels to the latest additions in our existing ranges. With one of the biggest choices of footwear brands online in the UK there’ll be plenty to feast your eyes on!

I’ll take you through the hottest footwear trends so you can stay on top in the style stakes – as well as keeping one beady Diva eye on celeb style that’s making the headlines.

But enough about me darlings… tell me about you!
