Nothing gets me more excited than a pretty pair of shoes. And when you have very petite feet like me – a pretty pair of shoes that actually fit is worth jumping up and down for!
You see, I wear Size 4 US shoes and let me tell you it is VERY difficult to find a great pair of heels in this size. Flats are easier because you can sometimes get away with kids sizes, but finding a beautiful pair of grown-up, lady-like shoes is hard to come by. Also, here in Canada there are very few retailers that you can walk into and find shoes in sizing under Size 5, and this proves to be very frustrating when you need a pair in a pinch.
That’s why I was beyond excited when I discovered Pretty Small Shoes about 8 years ago. The London-based company’s online store (and now with one retail outlet) ONLY sells shoes under Size 5 and they actually start at Size 2 for extremely petite ladies. The majority of their shoes are made-to-order and each pair gives specific measurements so you can guarantee that you are ordering the right size. Needless to say I have MANY pair of shoes from them and each purchase has been exactly as described, made with high-quality leather and fit like a glove!
I am absolutely in love with this Goth Glam Sandal (also comes in black). It is the perfect white shoe for summer and with its cut-out detailing, is light and airy and will look amazing with pretty dresses, dressed-up jeans, or even a light and airy romper. The leather is soft and comfortable and the toe strap is strong enough that your foot doesn’t slide too far off the sole. They really are the only white sandal you’ll need for summer!
If you wear Size 5 or under, then checking out Pretty Small Shoes needs to be on your to-do list. While pricing is on the higher side, you will not regret getting a pair of great-quality shoes that actually fit, especially a gorgeous pair that you really couldn’t find anywhere else.

I’ve been looking for a crochet top like this, lovely!

I love these. In a way they have a slight Zanotti flare to them. Very pretty.
