I’ve wanted a pair of Vivienne Westwood Melissa heels since the two brands first collaborated. The utter childishness of them – like jelly sandals but with heels, glitter and a bubblegum scent – and the fact that they’re entirely inappropriate for the majority of my everyday life only fuelled my passion. I’ve resisted them for many years because £100+ is a lot to spend on glorified plastic shoes (no matter how pretty they are). But when they popped up on Sarenza, just as I was deciding how to use my Sarenza blogger code, I decided it was fate. Or maybe the Sarenza buyer just has excellent taste.
So into my basket they went, and this morning they showed up on my doorstep. Like a kid at Christmas, I cannot contain myself when new things arrive, so they went straight on my feet (after much sniffing and aaaahing) and I’ve been stealing glances at them all day long.
Trousers c/o Next, Vivienne Westwood for Melissa heels c/o Sarenza, Primark t-shirt, ASOS necklace, H&M ring, Topshop lipstick in Brighton Rock. The old fashioned phone is a car boot find and cost £3.
They are very special shoes and I can imagine wearing a pair for my wedding (maybe in blue?) but I adore the life they bring to this simple outfit. I don’t think I can bear to save them for best – such beauty deserves to be seen and admired!
What do you think – shoes to shout about or a bit too girly for your liking?
PS – It’s the last day of the Sarenza sale today – I picked up a pair of leather boots for £25 down from £80, so it’s definitely worth a look!
Definitely have shoe envy right now. I’ve never seen them in this colours, always the blue/red one. I much prefer the pair you’ve chosen, i would wear those everyday! x
:O They are beautiful! Need some of them in my life! xx
They are so, so beautiful! I’ve never seen this metallic version before, I wouldn’t know what colour to choose! 🙂
They are beautiful!

I love VW Melissa shoes, I have been eyeing them up too but have had to settle for my Miss selfridge ones at £10. Still love seeing them! xx
oooh dear lord, they are absolute beauties! x
gorgeous shoes! I love the picture of them next to that lovely looking lipstick and phone.
Also, love that colour palette on you, in particular the top….as well as the necklace actually, I’m fond of that architectual looking jewellery atm!

Ooooh they’re so pretty! They are very girly, but the colours of them make it okay, I think if the colour was bright pink, it might be a bit too much though…
The lipstick is a gorgeous colour on you also! xx

These are AMAZING. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting some of these for years too. they’re just soo damn cute, but like you say, bit pricy for what they are.
Definitely shoes to shout about tho, they’re adorable xx

I am so in love with your shoes! This is such a nice look and the colors are gorgeous and that necklace is FAB!

A friend of mine got married in a cream stiletto version of these a few weeks ago. They were fabulous, especially as she had a short dress. She’s a real life bride (Laura) on the Rock My Wedding blog if you want a spy (not sure if the wedding itself is up yet but it will be).
I didn’t realise they came in colours like yours. They are fab – definitely don’t save them for best.
they really are beautiful! one day i’ll own a pair myself but for now it’s charity shop i’m afraid. x

I am SO EXCITED about my ones! They should be arriving soon! It’s so funny that you put yours next to a vintage phone. We have lots of new collection visuals like that. Thanks for another great post love.
ohh lovely! I’ve always wanted a pair of Melissa’s, mainly for the huge heart on them!

oooh they are so pretty, I haven’t seen this colour before. I’m always tempted, was looking at a pair in Topshop Oxford Circus the other day and they smelt sooooo good. Had to put them down before I passed the limit of how long is socially acceptable to stand there sniffing a pair of shoes!!!
I have these in peach with a black heart but I love this colour way too. They’re definitely good wedding shoes!
Oh Jen, I am so jealous. They are beautiful. Soo pretty.
I’m asking very nicely for a pair for birthday, I love them in Red.
xx
I LOVE them! I’m not sure if my mahoosive size 8 feet would ever fit in shoes like these! I think I have shoe lust/envy!! Xx
AMAZING choice.
Such gorgeous shoes, definitely worth the investement! x
@bettybuttons – These are a size 7/8! I’m a size 8 too and they fit quite well, maybe a touch on the small side but the slingbacks mean they’re not uncomfortable. Big feet can be pretty too! 🙂
DEFINITELY shoes to shout about. You wear them with such pazazz – your jeans are an incredible colour and work SO well with the top. This has to be my favourite outfit I’ve ever seen on you, you look incredible. the shoes just finish it off beautifully. x
I love the new collection sooo much – even more tasty Melissa goodness!
I got some of the black ones with skulls on for Christmas last year. I have to confess I haven’t worn them much but I do spend many a day gazing at them. 🙂
They are totally awesome…you lucky, lucky girl.
Ahh these are amazing! Best colour combo I’ve seen them in. I need some in my life 😀 x
The new Vivienne Westwood shop recently opened in Glasgow so today I popped in and went STRAIGHT for the shoes! They are all amazing. There were some courts with a weird velvet type material all around them and in so many gorgeous colours. I really want the deep purple colour… Hmmm… In hindsight, it’s probably good she didn’t have them in my size! Anywho, these ones are also lovely!
They are soo lovely x
They’re so girly, but the colour gives them edge. They go beautifully with that outfit. I SO want some – maybe I’ll start dropping hints for Christmas!
They are gorgeous!! But, ok, this isn’t the most pleasant question but I’ve been wondering for ages so I have to ask- aren’t they really sweaty? :s
oh my, they are beautiful!
xoxo.
Great outfit! I love Melissa shoes – and they areso comfy too 🙂
xx
I’ve been wanting a pair for ages but have struggled when thinking of outfits to pair them with! I do love this bronze pair, makes them more sophisticated in my opinion. Are they actually comfy?
So jealous! I want a pair too! They look lovely on you. Love your necklace as well.

Oh my goodness, I have serious shoe envy right now, they are just beautiful!

Ahhh Melissa shoes… gotta love them! And they’re so bouncy and comfortable too!
Lovely colour! I have some Melissa flats in leopard print which are so pretty 🙂
L x
They are gorgeous! They deserve to be worn on a regular basis 🙂
These are beautiful shoes Jen! A real delight for the eyes and a Bubblegum, Princess treat for your feet! I have these same shoes but plain lilac with black hearts!
Smell amazing xx
I think these shoes are great, not even that hard to wear actually! Some Melissa’s are really out there but these are pretty “normal” for Melissa’s because of the colours 🙂
I used to own a pair of Melissa wedges, but I sold them as I found them to be the most uncomfortable buggers I had ever worn. No more plastic shoes for me, ever!
I have never really liked these shoes before, but in this colour and they way you have them on I’m actually feeling super jealous now!

Yours are so beautiful– I love the color! I have the ones with the big metal ball on the toe. I love them, but found that (just like the jellies in the 80’s) I can only wear them for a few hours at a time or I get blisters.
