I had heard great things about the Cheryl Cole’s first foray into designing with StylistPick.com but I wasn’t prepared for how great the shoes and boots would be. Don’t get me wrong not everything in the 12-piece collection is my cup of tea, but what I was really surprised about was how there is something for everyone and how well the pieces showcase her style from the towering heels to the edgy biker boots.
What I loved most about the line has to be the funky names from Your Royal Hottness to Byker Groove (below), and my favourite being Funky Munky. There is even a pair of leopard print boots called Ri Ri modelled by Chezza above – do you think that is shout-out to her pal Rihanna. The collection really does showcase her personality and you can tell she was very involved.
I love Cheryl’s ‘signature shoe’ the nude studded platform, very Louboutin and at £79.9o exceptional value. My favourite of the killer heels has to be Hot To Trot, I just love that houndstooth print and the concealed platform – very chic, and again a bargain at £79.90.
Probably my favourite of the whole collection has to be Byker Groove – Mucky Puppy – causal and edgy, I love the double buckle – these boots look comfortable enough to wear everyday.
Out of all the pieces I think these ankle boots are the ones I am not sure about, I go from one extreme of loving the OTT fringe trimmed Funky Munky zip boots to really disliking the two-tone leather strap boot called Freak Le Chic – I really do feel these are something of a desired taste, just not mine. I have to admit I was surprised that only two pairs had animal print influences, but the Ri Ri boot is a step too far for me.
Overall, I am really impressed, I think the prices aren’ttoo bad ranging from £79.90-£119.85 for most of the boot styles, a bit of a price jump from the usual £39.99 but it is a limited edition collection so I can understand that. I hear that there are more styles coming next year and I am hoping that Chezza also branches out into handbags.
What do you think? What are your favourite pieces of Cheryl’s collection? Will you be buying any of the shoes?
