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!

The barely there nude trend for spring 2011


Thursday, January 13th, 2011

It used to be all about the black for the most versatile shoe but 2010 saw the sudden craze over the flesh tone nude shoes that stole the title as the must have shoe for any woman’s wardrobe and it’s set to continue right through 2011. The trend for everything ‘pale and interesting’ in 2010 also encourage this look, teaming nude shoes and handbags with floral prints for a quirky style.

Extending from the cream and peach tones right through the beige and coffee shades, the nude palette so so wide ranging that there’s a colour to suit all skin tones from the pale to the dark, which is one of the reasons why nude coloured shoes have become so popular. Team that with the fact that as such a neutral tone you can wear nude shoes and bags with pretty much anything and you’re on to a winner.

Another reason why nude shoes are so popular is because they have a leg-lengthening effect creating the illusion of longer and slimmer legs when worn with legs bare of with flesh coloured tights. This is because of the unbroken line from the top of the leg down to the foot. The best style of shoes for this are court shoes or platform shoes with no straps and a low front.

Here are some ways in which you can wear nude coloured shoes and bags with Viva La Diva

Nude court shoes and nude shoulder bag with tailored skirt suits.

Great for…the workplace or an important meeting.

Nude platform shoes and nude clutch bag with your favourite party dress.

Great for…a night on the town with the girls.

Flat nude shoes and nude tote bag with skinny jeans and simple t-shirt.

Great for…a day of spluring at the shops.
