It’s Christmas day. You know how it is. There are turkeys to be stuffed and children to be placated when they got the wrong sort of Elsa’s Ice Palace... (I’ve a feeling that will be me.) Perhaps there are 200 miles to drive or you’re celebrating Friendmas with disco dancing and then there’s the obligatory post lunch walk… Doing it all in heels? LOL. You know I’m a fan of the fancy flat and Christmas day is when this genre of shoe comes into it’s own. Fancy flats offer the perfect balance of glamour (you look like you made an effort) and comfort (because let’s face it, no one can nap during the Queen’s speech in a stiletto.)

Everything in this edit will obviously make a perfect post Christmas option too - because a shoe is for life, not just for Christmas. There are mules and pointy toes a-plenty, as the trends dictate, but you’ll also find loafers, Oxfords and square-toed comfort too. And because I don’t know what the rest of our outfit will be like I’ve stuck to a mainly neutral palette of black, gold and silver - with he odd jolt of merlot and emerald - which will go with almost anything you choose to wear.
