Last season at Wittner shoes was a bit ho-hum, but their new season collection is slowly trickling in and if what I saw over the weekend is a sample of what’s to come, then start saving your pocket money because it is FANTASTIC. Wittner is one of the few chain stores that produce quality, designer-inspired shoes, at a great price. Our picks of the season:
Salvation $149 and Slave $119 – gladiator sandals will be BIG this summer, and Wittner’s take on these sandals is bang on the money. Well made, expensive looking, on-trend and will give your summer outfits an edgy, “come and get me” feel. Salvation is the version that rises mid calf, and Slave to the ankle. Both are flat sandals, so choose the mid-calf version only if you have long legs, or else you’ll run the risk of looking a bit cut off. Both come in black and patent black. No prizes for guessing what this stylist chose… (always always patent…shiny is good!). No time to wait for the sales for these shoes - when we were in store 3 separate customers were all scrambling to try them on.
Vixen $169 – these are a fantastic take on Dior's "Extreme" shoes (black finished with tiny bronze studs), as worn religiously by Carrie in SATC movie - need we say more?? HOT (and you won't have to sell your house to afford it).
Veronique $169 – inspired by Dior’s latest range shoes (as worn religiously by Carrie in SATC movie). Available in pewter and black. Fantastic, dangerous and daringly sexy.
Dana $89 – this is a cute , patent quilted shoulder bag with fun Pucci inspired lining. Available in cream/black and all black, both are a charming take on the Chanel quilted bags at a fantastic price. Small bags dangling across your shoulder and resting at about hip height is the next new wave for bags, so nab yourself this bag and be ahead of the pack! (Warning: these bags are small-ish, so you will need to adopt a zen-like philosophy and clear your handbag of clutter to use this. Alternatively use the VIP Hangbag Inserts as reported in our blog last month).

I have just seen the new Miu Miu motorcycle boot. As I can't justify paying for the original I can't wait to see the knockoffs hit the stores. As I saw them on style.com I assume these will be seasons away.
These will be so versatile as the buckles can be removed so they will be great for work and play!
