Spot VLD: The Sun


Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

This time round The Diva spotted Viva La Diva being showcased in The Sun with a feature about the weird and wonderful heel-less boots from Bettie Page. A page 3 beauty donned these Lady Gaga inspired shoes for the day and headed out and about her daily routine to see how these boots held up.

The Sun coverage

The Bettie Page Cora Ankle Boots certainly made an impression…they passed the test in puddles keeping her feet warm and she even got bought a drink in a bar thanks to these quirky boots…although she didn’t think they’d be suited to walking the dog or driving!

So what do you think to these heel-less boots? Do you love their Lady Gaga inspired look or are they a little bit crazy for your liking? Either way, they’re certainly headturning shoes!

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

If you’re a high heel lover just like myself then the thought of trudging around a muddy field at a festival in a pair of somewhat unglamorous wellies may fill you with all kinds of fashion conundrums and put you off enjoying everything that a music festival has to offer. But fear not divas, WedgeWelly are here to save the day!

Made famous by BBC’s Dragons’ Den after winning investment from Theo Paphitis, WedgeWelly are every fashionistas dream come true, these quirky wellies with a wedge heel will keep you looking and feeling fabulous all festival long. At Viva La Diva, we’ve long known how amazing WedgeWelly are, but they shot into the limelight with their TV appearance and now anyone who’s anyone is wearing them…including lots of our favourite stars.

Festival footwear at Viva La Diva


Friday, May 20th, 2011

It’s that time of year again, when girls everywhere bring out the floral dresses, cute sun hats and masses of dry shampoo, yes that’s right ladies, it’s fesival season! Whether you’re off to Glastonbury, Reading, Download or something a little more low-key, you’ll all face the same dilemma of what shoes to pack.

Some go for trendy gladiator sandals, others with chunky biker boots, while many play it safe and opt for trustworthy wellies for the entire weekend. What footwear you choose typically depends on the weather, you maybe lucky and get a scorcher, but unfortunately, most festivals succomb to typical British weather and can often be a washout…but you shouldn’t let that put you off looking utterly fabulous.

So, The Diva has put together some festival footwear style inspiration from Viva La Diva to give you some ideas on what shoes you could wear to your festival this summer.

Festival footwear ideas

Festival wellies

Shop all our women’s wellies!

Women’s wellies are certainly the failsafe option for any festival, especially if it’s on a field and the heavens decide to open all weekend long! With a pair of festival wellies you’ll stay warm and dry, and you won’t have to worry about getting dirty. But don’t think that they’re all boring and plain, in fact, we’ve a great choice of patterned and fun wellies that’ll actually add to your outfit rather than take away from it…and if you can’t live without your heels then you’ll adore wellies from WedgeWelly!

Women’s boots

Shop all our women’s boots!

There are so many different types of women’s boots that work really well for festivals, especially in the mud, and it’s usually the chunkier the better when it comes to boots. If you’re working the boho chic vibe go for some military style boots for a quirky look or cute cowgirl boots that are just so hot right now and perfect for festivals, but if you’re more a grunge glamour girl then team biker boots with your outfit instead.

Gladiator sandals

Shop all our gladiator sandals!

They were one of the biggest footwear trends of the past year but gladiator sandals are now firm wardrobe staples. If you’re lucky enough to get good weather then most certainly make the most of it with a pair of gladiator sandals. Not only are they so comfortable and easy to wear but they’re also so fashionable and will really work with a bohemian look that’s always popular at festivals. Brown or black leather are probably best.

Must have women’s military boots


Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

Bringing influences of male touches into female fashion seems to have been one of the biggest trends of the past season and one of the main footwear fashions to really embrace this androgynous look are women’s military boots. Also known as women’s worker boots, these clumpy and somewhat shabby boots hit the catwalks with a bang in autumn/winter 2010 and were teamed with skinny jeans for a casual quirky look and with floral dresses for a retro style.

As the androgynous look is so hot right now, women’s military boots seem to have taken the footwear fashions by storm into 2011 too and look set to continue right through the year. As they made their way to the high street stores, ladies military boots took on more wearable designs including high heeled military boots and incorporating other trends like shearling and buckles.

At Viva La Diva we’re always one step ahead of all the latest must have footwear trends and that’s why you’ll find a big choice of women’s worker boots and military boots right here.

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

This latest edition of ‘What we’re wearing’ takes on a rather wintery feel as The Diva was thrilled to see one of the girls in the VLD office looking stylish yet practical in a pair of wedge wellies this week. Battling through the snow while everyone else was in boring wellies, she was looking utterly fabulous thanks to WedgeWelly!

Made famous by BBC’s Dragons’ Den, these funky wellies from WedgeWelly are designed with high heel lovers in mind, so if you simply can’t live without your heels, these wellies will certainly be your best friend. She opted for the WedgeWelly Man Eater with a stylish black snakeskin print. 

And as you can see she went with the new Flex range from WedgeWelly that features extra room at the top with an adjustable calf that allows you to decide the width – perfect if you need wide fitting wellies as well as if you like to tuck your jeans in! Of course, they’re also available in the standard fitting too.
