Nude Spring '10 Sneaky Peeky!

One thing that never fails to excite us here at the Frock is shoes. Well really, does anybody who is of the female species? A friend of mine recently announced that she'd bought her first pair of Louboutins on her recent trip to Europe, which was greeted with as much enthusiasm as if she'd announced she was expecting her first child. Another friend works in a cool shoe store, and our conversations tend to refer to shoes by their name, as if they were simply other acquaintances - "Seen Saskia lately?" "How's Avery doing for you?" "How cute is Billy!"

Nude is one of our most popular labels, with on-trend as well as classic styles that are reasonably priced  AND totally wearable (and really, you can't ask for more than that), Here's what we'll be getting instore shortly for Spring/Summer '10:

Avery Peeptoe Laceup Bootie $199.95

Cupcake Double Knot Peep Heel $179.95

Rainbow Witch Strappy High Platform $179.95

Wildrose Wooden Platform Sandal $179.95

Sugarplum Big Buckle Wedge $169.95

Chipchop Peeptoe Clog $169.95

Chipchop Peeptoe Clog $169.95

Buttons Skimmer Military Ballet Flat $99.95

Nude Summer '09 - HOT!

Just had to draw your attention to the new arrivals by Nude for Summer before they all sell out - they are all completely fabulous and are walking out the door (pardon the sort-of pun). Oh, and did I mention that the sandals are all under $90?

There's something for every taste - if you like a tough, studded gladiator to work the grungy-cool look or to contrast with pretty florals, go for the Panama City Strappy Stud Gladiator ($89.95).

For simple, casual chic with a bohemian edge, the Miami Beach Plait Ankle Tie Sandal ($79.95) goes with just about everything and looks seriously sexy!

Or if strappy ain't your thang and a bit of glam is what your summer wardrobe needs, we're loving the Bronte Beach Plait Ring Thong ($79.95). In a pale metallic gold, they add instant chic to your casual day outfits, but also look fab with a breezy maxi dress for cocktails!

Party shoes? The Pipipi has actually nearly sold out already (instore time: 1 week) becuase it is one of those OMG-must-have styles that looks sensational and is *shock* comfy. If you have wide feet they'll still fit nicely - it's a bit of a wrestle to get your foot in past the crossover ankle strap but once you'vde done it a few times, they will give a little and mould perfectly to your foot. This means wearing them around the house while you vacuum isn't as ridiculous as it might otherwise be. Or for outright glam, Etini is high, strappy, metallic, and sexy, and perfect for eveningwear, weddings, or dancing the night away! Both retail for $169.95 - which also means free post!

Why do we do this...?!

Righto, so in the interest of competitive spirit and a last-ditch attempt to avoid more broken ankles/fingernails, we have possibly stupidly called for a one day only 30% off sale tomorrow, Monday 29th June...oh everyone else is doing it, we thought we better as well! Yes folks, peer pressure is alive and well in the cyber-world.

Now, you'll find the code on the front page of the website in bold red letters, and most importantly the t&c's here and also in the newsletter. If you buy something with the 30% off code, you can't send it back for a refund, but you can exchange it at your own cost or return it for a store credit. This is because we get a sickly pleasure in emptying our shelves and seeing a truckload of pink parcels leave Frock HQ, hopefully never to return. It's particularly pleasing at this time of year because on Tuesday, even though we'll be utterfly stuffed from the sale on Monday, we have to count whatever is left; which is more boring than a new series of Big Brother, heaven forbid.

There's new bits from Effigy49, Birds of a Feather, Mermaid Sister, and Nude, for a start...your wardrobe will thank you!
