Choosing the right heel or boot

Footwear is the strongest part of the range. Heels cover styles such as ankle strap peep toes, sling backs and kitten heels, while boots run from knee-high versions with toe cap details to pointed wedge styles. If you expect a long evening on your feet, a kitten or lower heel is usually easier to stand in than a tall stiletto, so check the heel shape before you commit.

Clothing for occasions

The clothing listings lean towards going-out pieces, including slinky vest tops and high-waist capri trousers with lace trim. These work best as a coordinated outfit, so consider how a top and bottom will pair with shoes you already own before adding everything to your basket.

Delivery to the UK

UK standard delivery is listed at two to three working days, and the delivery page notes free delivery on orders over \u00a350, capped at five items. A next working day option is also listed with an order cut-off time. Delivery times are estimates set by the courier, so allow a little extra time if you have a fixed event.

Returns from the UK

UK returns are accepted within 28 days of receipt for a refund, provided the item is unused and in original condition. Exchanges are not offered, so a different size means returning the item and reordering. A paid return label is available through the returns portal, and refunds are processed after the item is received, so keep proof of postage until your money has returned.
